How do I create source or target endpoints using AWS DMS?
Last updated: 2019-08-30
How do I specify a source and a target database endpoint for my AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) task?
Resolution
Before you can run an AWS DMS task, you must create a replication instance, a source endpoint, and a target endpoint. You can create source and target endpoints:
- Using the AWS DMS console when you create a replication instance.
- Using the AWS DMS console after you create a replication instance.
- Using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).
Create endpoints when creating a replication instance
- Open the AWS DMS console.
- From the navigation pane, choose Replication instances.
- Choose Create replication instance, and enter your replication instance information.
- On the Connect source and target database endpoints page, specify your source and target endpoints. For more information, see Creating Source and Target Endpoints.
Create source and target endpoints after creating a replication instance
- Open the AWS DMS console.
- From the navigation pane, choose Endpoints, and then choose Create endpoint.
- Select Source endpoint and enter the source endpoint information.
- Choose Create endpoint.
- From the Endpoints pane, choose Create endpoint.
- Select Target endpoint and enter the target endpoint information.
- Choose Create endpoint.
Note: When you create a password for your PostgreSQL endpoint, you can't use the following special characters: +, %, or ;. For MySQL endpoint passwords, you can't use ;.
Create endpoints using the AWS CLI
After you install and configure the latest version of the AWS CLI, run the create-endpoint command.
