How do I create a parameter in the console of AWS Data Pipeline

Question

I'd like to define some parameters in the console of AWS DataPipeline, but am not able to do so. The parameters are going to be called in a SqlActivity, so when I try to refer to them in the in-line SQL script and save the pipeline, I'm getting error messages saying that no such parameters exist. The parameters page is blank and I can't find the button to make one. Google results are all showing me how to create parameterized pipelines, which is not what I'm exactly looking for

Answer 1

At the moment, you cannot create parameter objects from the AWS Datapipeline console. Please use aws cli to create a pipeline definition with parameter objects.
