Cloud Migration Hub:Create a DTS task to migrate databases

Last Updated:Jun 06, 2023

If you select AWS migration as Migration plan Template when you create a migration plan, you can use the Server Migration Center (SMC) tool to migrate servers and the Data Transmission Service (DTS) tool to migrate databases. This topic describes how to create a DTS task to migrate databases.

Start DTS synchronization

Log on to the Cloud Migration Hub (CMH) console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Migration > Migration Tool. On the Migration Tool page, view the migration status of migration tools. Make sure that the required resources are created for your migration plan and DTS synchronization is started. In addition, the source and destination databases are accessible from the Internet. Database accounts that have the read and write permissions are prepared for the source and destination databases.
