AWS DMS Schema Conversion now supports conversions from IBM Db2 for z/OS to Amazon RDS for Db2

Posted on: Mar 24, 2025

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) Schema Conversion is a fully managed feature of DMS that automatically assesses and converts database schemas to formats compatible with AWS target database services. Today, we are excited to announce that Schema Conversion now supports conversions from IBM Db2 for z/OS to Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for Db2.

Using Schema Conversion, you can automatically convert database objects from your IBM Db2 for z/OS source to an Amazon RDS for Db2 target, including stored procedures, functions, views, and other database structures. This is especially valuable for mainframe migrations as it simplifies complex processes by resolving syntax differences and compatibility issues between environments. Schema Conversion also provides detailed assessment reports to help you plan and execute your migration effectively.
