Error during QLDB ledger export through AWS CLI

Question

I'm trying to export QLDB data through AWS CLI by following that documentation:

• https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/qldb/export-journal-to-s3.html
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/qldb/latest/developerguide/export-journal.request.html

Command executed: aws qldb export-journal-to-s3 --name my-ledger --inclusive-start-time 2022-11-06T00:00:00Z --exclusive-end-time 2022-11-07T23:59:59Z --role-arn arn:aws:iam::11111111:role/service-role/AmazonQLDB-ServiceRole-11111111--s3-export-configuration s3://testBucket

Getting the following error: Error parsing parameter '--s3-export-configuration': Expected: '=', received: 'EOF' for input: s3://testBucket

I want to understand the bucket format accepted by the command.

Did you look at the example from the link you mentioned.

You can create a json file my-s3-export-config.json with this content:

 {
     "Bucket": "awsExampleBucket",
     "Prefix": "ledgerexport1/",
     "EncryptionConfiguration": {
         "ObjectEncryptionType": "SSE_S3"
     }
 }

And use that file as an input of your cli:

aws qldb export-journal-to-s3 \
    --name myExampleLedger \
    --inclusive-start-time 2019-09-18T00:00:00Z \
    --exclusive-end-time 2019-09-18T22:59:59Z \
    --role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/my-s3-export-role \
    --s3-export-configuration file://my-s3-export-config.json
