Amazon Cognito UserImportInProgressException

A user import job is currently in progress.

Understanding Amazon Cognito

Amazon Cognito is a service provided by AWS that enables developers to add user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to their web and mobile applications quickly and securely. It supports authentication through social identity providers such as Facebook, Twitter, or Amazon, and enterprise identity providers via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with Amazon Cognito, you might encounter the UserImportInProgressException. This error typically occurs when you attempt to perform certain operations while a user import job is still running.

What You Observe

When this exception is thrown, you will see an error message indicating that a user import job is currently in progress. This prevents you from executing further requests related to user management until the import job is complete.

Details About the Issue

The UserImportInProgressException is a specific error code that indicates a conflict in operations within Amazon Cognito. It arises when there is an attempt to perform user-related operations while a user import job is still active.

Why It Happens

This exception is designed to prevent data inconsistencies and ensure that user data is imported correctly before any further operations are performed. It is crucial to allow the import process to complete to maintain data integrity.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

To resolve the UserImportInProgressException, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check the Status of the Import Job

First, verify the status of the current user import job. You can do this through the AWS Management Console or by using the AWS CLI. For CLI, use the following command:

aws cognito-idp list-user-import-jobs --user-pool-id --max-results 10

Look for the job with the status InProgress.

Step 2: Wait for Completion

Once you have confirmed that a user import job is in progress, you need to wait for it to complete. The status will change to Succeeded or Failed once the job is finished.

Step 3: Retry Your Request

After the import job has completed, you can retry your request. Ensure that no other import jobs are running at the time of your request.

Additional Resources

For more information on managing user import jobs in Amazon Cognito, refer to the official AWS Documentation. Additionally, you can explore the Amazon Cognito FAQs for common questions and troubleshooting tips.
