ChangeMessageVisibility Method

Changes the visibility timeout of a message.

Syntax

amazonsqs.changeMessageVisibility(queueId, receiptHandle, visiblityTimeout, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Changes the visibility of the message specified by ReceiptHandle in the queue specified by QueueId. The maximum allowed timeout value you can set the value to is 12 hours. This means you can't extend the timeout of a message in an existing queue to more than a total visibility timeout of 12 hours.

This method returns the RequestId contained in the Amazon response.
