In AWS SQS, the "Start DLQ Redrive" button is disabled

Question

I have a Queue set up with a redrive policy that automatically sends failed messages to a Dead Letter Queue. When looking at the Dead Letter Queue, there is a button to "start DLQ redrive" which should allow me to reprocess the failed messages in the original queue. Unfortuately this button is not enabled on my queue and I cannot fiure out why.

Answer 1

This button is not available for FIFO queues.

There is a note about this in the aws documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/sqs-configure-dead-letter-queue-redrive.html
