Targets for Data Migration
AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) can use many of the most popular databases as a target for data replication. The target can be on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) instance, or an on-premises database.
Note
Regardless of the source storage engine (MyISAM, MEMORY, etc.), AWS DMS creates the MySQLcompatible target table as an InnoDB table by default. If you need to have a table that uses a storage engine other than InnoDB, you can manually create the table on the MySQL-compatible target and migrate the table using the "Do Nothing" mode. For more information about the "Do
Nothing" mode, see
Full Load Task Settings (p. 123)
.
The databases include the following:
On-premises and EC2 instance databases
• Oracle versions 10g, 11g, 12c, for the Enterprise, Standard, Standard One, and Standard Two editions
• Microsoft SQL Server versions 2005, 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2014 for the Enterprise, Standard,
Workgroup, and Developer editions. The Web and Express editions are not supported.
• MySQL versions 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7
• MariaDB (supported as a MySQL-compatible data target)
• PostgreSQL versions 9.3 and later
• SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 15.7 and later
Amazon RDS instance databases, Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, and Amazon DynamoDB
• Amazon RDS Oracle versions 11g (versions 11.2.0.3.v1 and later) and 12c, for the Enterprise, Standard,
Standard One, and Standard Two editions
• Amazon RDS Microsoft SQL Server versions 2008R2, 2012, and 2014, for the Enterprise, Standard,
Workgroup, and Developer editions. The Web and Express editions are not supported.
• Amazon RDS MySQL versions 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7
• Amazon RDS MariaDB (supported as a MySQL-compatible data target)
• Amazon RDS PostgreSQL versions 9.3 and later
• Amazon Aurora

Using an Oracle Database as a Target for AWS
Database Migration Service
You can migrate data to Oracle database targets using AWS DMS, either from another Oracle database or from one of the other supported databases.
You can use SSL to encrypt connections between your Oracle endpoint and the replication instance. For more information on using SSL with an Oracle endpoint, see
Using SSL With AWS Database Migration
.
AWS DMS supports Oracle versions 10g, 11g, and 12c for on-premises and EC2 instances for the
Enterprise, Standard, Standard One, and Standard Two editions as targets. AWS DMS supports Oracle versions 11g (versions 11.2.0.3.v1 and later) and 12c for Amazon RDS instance databases for the
Enterprise, Standard, Standard One, and Standard Two editions.
When using Oracle as a target, we assume the data should be migrated into the schema/user which is used for the target connection. If you want to migrate data to a different schema, you'll need to use a schema transformation to do so. For example, if my target endpoint connects to the user RDSMASTER and you wish to migrate from the user PERFDATA to PERFDATA, you'll need to create a transformation as follows:
{
"rule-type": "transformation",
"rule-id": "2",
"rule-name": "2",
"rule-action": "rename",
"rule-target": "schema",
"object-locator": {
"schema-name": "PERFDATA"
},
"value": "PERFDATA"
}
For more information about transformations, see Selection and Transformation Table Mapping using
.
Limitations on Oracle as a Target for AWS Database
Migration Service
Limitations when using Oracle as a target for data migration include the following:
• AWS DMS does not create schema on the target Oracle database. You have to create any schemas you want on the target Oracle database. The schema name must already exist for the Oracle target. Tables from source schema are imported to user/schema, which AWS DMS uses to connect to the target instance. You must create multiple replication tasks if you have to migrate multiple schemas.
• AWS DMS doesn't support the
Use direct path full load
option for tables with INDEXTYPE
CONTEXT. As a workaround, you can use array load.

Using MySQL as a Target
Using a MySQL-Compatible Database as a Target for AWS Database Migration Service
You can migrate data to MySQL databases using AWS DMS, either from another MySQL database or from one of the other supported databases.
MySQL versions 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7, as well as MariaDB and Amazon Aurora, are supported.
Prerequisites for Using a MySQL-Compatible
Database as a Target for AWS Database Migration
Service
Before you begin to work with a MySQL database as a target for AWS DMS, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
• A MySQL account with the required security settings. For more information, see
When Using MySQL as a Target for AWS Database Migration Service (p. 100) .
• A MySQL database with the tables that you want to replicate accessible in your network. AWS DMS supports the following MySQL editions:
• MySQL Community Edition
• MySQL Standard Edition
• MySQL Enterprise Edition
• MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition
• MariaDB
• Amazon Aurora
• During a load, you should consider disabling foreign keys. In order to disable foreign key checks on a MySQL-compatible database during a load, you can add the following command to the
Extra
Connection Attributes in the Advanced section of the target MySQL, Aurora, MariaDB endpoint connection information: initstmt=SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0
Limitations on Using MySQL as a Target for AWS

When using a MySQL database as a target, AWS DMS doesn't support the following:
• The DDL statements Truncate Partition, Drop Table, and Rename Table.
• Using an
ALTER TABLE
<table_name>
ADD COLUMN
<column_name>
statement to add columns to the beginning or the middle of a table.
In addition, when you update a column's value to its existing value, MySQL returns a
0 rows affected warning. In contrast, Oracle performs an update of one row in this case. The MySQL result generates an entry in the awsdms_apply_exceptions control table and the following warning:

Security Requirements for MySQL as a Target
Some changes from the source database had no impact when applied to the target database. See awsdms_apply_exceptions table for details.
Security Requirements When Using MySQL as a
Target for AWS Database Migration Service
When using MySQL as a target for data migration, you must provide MySQL account access to the AWS
DMS user account. This user must have read/write privileges in the MySQL database.
To create the necessary privileges, run the following commands:
CREATE USER '<user acct>'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY <user password>';
GRANT ALTER, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT ON myschema.* TO '<user
acct>'@'%';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON awsdms_control.* TO '<user acct>'@'%';
Using an Amazon Redshift Database as a Target for AWS Database Migration Service
You can migrate data to Amazon Redshift databases using AWS Database Migration Service. Amazon
Redshift is a fully-managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. With an Amazon
Redshift database as a target, you can migrate data from all of the other supported source databases.
The Amazon Redshift cluster must be in the same AWS account and same AWS Region as the replication instance.
During a database migration to Amazon Redshift, AWS DMS first moves data to an S3 bucket. Once the files reside in an S3 bucket, AWS DMS then transfers them to the proper tables in the Amazon Redshift data warehouse. AWS DMS creates the S3 bucket in the same AWS Region as the Amazon Redshift database. The AWS DMS replication instance must be located in that same region.
If you use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or the AWS DMS API to migrate data to Amazon
Redshift, you must set up an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role to allow S3 access. For more information about creating this IAM role, see
Creating the IAM Roles to Use With the AWS CLI and
The Amazon Redshift endpoint provides full automation for the following:
• Schema generation and data type mapping
• Full load of source database tables
• Incremental load of changes made to source tables
• Application of schema changes in data definition language (DDL) made to the source tables
• Synchronization between full load and change data capture (CDC) processes.
AWS Database Migration Service supports both full load and change processing operations. AWS DMS reads the data from the source database and creates a series of comma-separated value (CSV) files.
API Version API Version 2016-01-01

AWS Database Migration Service User Guide
Prerequisites for Using an Amazon Redshift Database as a Target for AWS Database Migration Service
For full-load operations, AWS DMS creates files for each table. AWS DMS then copies the table files for each table to a separate folder in Amazon S3. When the files are uploaded to Amazon S3, AWS DMS sends a copy command and the data in the files are copied into Amazon Redshift. For change-processing operations, AWS DMS copies the net changes to the CSV files. AWS DMS then uploads the net change files to Amazon S3 and copies the data to Amazon Redshift.

Prerequisites for Using an Amazon Redshift Database as a Target for AWS Database Migration Service
The following list describe the prerequisites necessary for working with Amazon Redshift as a target for data migration:
• Use the AWS Management Console to launch an Amazon Redshift cluster. You should note the basic information about your AWS account and your Amazon Redshift cluster, such as your password, user name, and database name. You will need these values when creating the Amazon Redshift target endpoint.
• The Amazon Redshift cluster must be in the same AWS account and the same AWS Region as the replication instance.
• The AWS DMS replication instance needs network connectivity to the Redshift endpoint (hostname and port) that your cluster uses.
• AWS DMS uses an Amazon S3 bucket to transfer data to the Redshift database. For AWS DMS to create the bucket, the DMS console uses an Amazon IAM role, dms-access-for-endpoint
. If you use the AWS
CLI or DMS API to create a database migration with Amazon Redshift as the target database, you must

Using Enhanced VPC Routing with an Amazon
Redshift as a Target for AWS Database Migration
Service
If you're using the Enhanced VPC Routing feature with your Amazon Redshift target, the feature forces all COPY traffic between your Redshift cluster and your data repositories through your Amazon VPC.
Because Enhanced VPC Routing affects the way that Amazon Redshift accesses other resources, COPY commands might fail if you haven't configured your VPC correctly.
AWS DMS can be affected by this behavior since it uses the COPY command to move data in S3 to a
Redshift cluster.
Following are the steps AWS DMS takes to load data into an Amazon Redshift target:
1. AWS DMS copies data from the source to CSV files on the replication server.
2. AWS DMS uses the AWS SDK to copy the CSV files into an S3 bucket on your account.
3. AWS DMS then uses the COPY command in Redshift to copy data from the CSV files in S3 to an appropriate table in Redshift.
If Enhanced VPC Routing is not enabled, Amazon Redshift routes traffic through the Internet, including traffic to other services within the AWS network. If the feature is not enabled, you do not have to configure the network path. If the feature is enabled, you must specifically create a network path between your cluster's VPC and your data resources. For more information on the configuration required, see Enhanced VPC Routing in the Amazon Redshift documentation.

Using SAP ASE as a Target
Using a SAP ASE Database as a Target for AWS
Database Migration Service
You can migrate data to SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)–formerly known as Sybase–databases using AWS DMS, either from any of the supported database sources.
SAP ASE version 15.7 and later are supported.
Prerequisites for Using a SAP ASE Database as a
Target for AWS Database Migration Service
Before you begin to work with a SAP ASE database as a target for AWS DMS, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
• You must provide SAP ASE account access to the AWS DMS user. This user must have read/write privileges in the SAP ASE database.
• When replicating to SAP ASE version 15.7 installed on a Windows EC2 instance configured with a non-
Latin language (for example, Chinese), AWS DMS requires SAP ASE 15.7 SP121 to be installed on the target SAP ASE machine.
Using Amazon S3 as a Target for AWS Database
Migration Service
You can migrate data to Amazon S3 using AWS DMS from any of the supported database sources.
When using S3 as a target in an AWS DMS task, both full load and change data capture (CDC) data is written to comma-separated-values (CSV) format. AWS DMS names files created during a full load using incremental counters, for example LOAD00001.csv, LOAD00002, and so on. AWS DMSnames CDC files using timestamps, for example 20141029-1134010000.csv. For each source table, AWS DMS creates a folder under the specified target folder. AWS DMS writes all full load and CDC files to the specified S3 bucket.
The parameter bucketFolder
contains the location where the .csv files are stored before being uploaded to the S3 bucket. Table data is stored in the following format in the S3 bucket:
<schema_name>/<table_name>/LOAD001.csv
<schema_name>/<table_name>/LOAD002.csv
<schema_name>/<table_name>/<time-stamp>.csv
{
You can specify the column delimiter, row delimiter, null value indicator, and other parameters using the extra connection attributes. For more information on the extra connection attributes, see
Connection Attributes (p. 104) at the end of this section.
Prerequisites for Using Amazon S3 as a Target
The AWS account you use for the migration must have write and delete access to the Amazon S3 bucket you are using as a target. The role assigned to the user account used to create the migration task must have the following set of permissions.

Using an Amazon DynamoDB Database as a Target for AWS Database Migration Service
You can use AWS DMS to migrate data to an Amazon DynamoDB table. Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. AWS DMS supports using a relational database or MongoDB as a source.
In DynamoDB, tables, items, and attributes are the core components that you work with. A table is a collection of items, and each item is a collection of attributes. DynamoDB uses primary keys, called partition keys, to uniquely identify each item in a table. You can also use keys and secondary indexes to provide more querying flexibility.
You use object mapping to migrate your data from a source database to a target DynamoDB table.
Object mapping lets you determine where the source data is located in the target.
Migrating from a Relational Database to a DynamoDB
Table
AWS DMS supports migrating data to DynamoDB’s scalar data types. When migrating from a relational database like Oracle or MySQL to DynamoDB, you may want to restructure how you store this data.
Currently AWS DMS supports single table to single table restructuring to DynamoDB scalar type attributes. If you are migrating data into DynamoDB from a relational database table, you would take data from a table and reformat it into DynamoDB scalar data type attributes. These attributes can accept data from multiple columns and you can map a column to an attribute directly.
AWS DMS supports the following DynamoDB scalar data types:

Prerequisites for DynamoDB as a Target
• String
• Number
• Boolean
Note

Prerequisites for Using a DynamoDB as a Target for
AWS Database Migration Service
Before you begin to work with a DynamoDB database as a target for AWS DMS, make sure you create an IAM role that allows AWS DMS to assume and grants access to the DynamoDB tables that are being migrated into. The minimum set of access permissions is shown in the following sample role policy:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "dms.amazonaws.com"
},

Limitations for DynamoDB as a Target
Limitations When Using DynamoDB as a Target for
AWS Database Migration Service
The following limitations apply when using Amazon DynamoDB as a target:
• DynamoDB limits the precision of the Number data type to 38 places. Store all data types with a higher precision as a String. You need to explicitly specify this using the object mapping feature.
• Because Amazon DynamoDB doesn’t have a Date data type, data using the Date data type are converted to strings.
• AWS DMS only supports replication of tables with non-composite primary keys, unless you specify an object mapping for the target table with a custom hash or range key, or both.
• AWS DMS doesn’t support LOB data unless it is a CLOB. AWS DMS converts CLOB data into a
DynamoDB string when migrating data.
Using Object Mapping to Migrate Data to DynamoDB
AWS DMS uses table mapping rules to map data from the source to the target DynamoDB table. To map data to a DynamoDB target, you use a type of table mapping rule called object-mapping. Object mapping lets you define the attribute names and the data to be migrated to them. Amazon DynamoDB doesn't have a preset structure other than having a partition key and an optional sort key. If you have a noncomposite primary key, AWS DMS will use it. If you have a composite primary key or you want to use a sort key, you need to define these keys and the other attributes in your target DynamoDB table.
To create an object mapping rule, you specify the rule-type
as object-mapping. This rule specifies what type of object mapping you want to use.
The structure for the rule is as follows:
{ "rules": [
{
"rule-type": "object-mapping",
"rule-id": "<id>",
"rule-name": "<name>",
"rule-action": "<valid object-mapping rule action>",
"object-locator": {
"schema-name": "<case-sensitive schema name>",
"table-name": ""
},
"target-table-name": "<table_name>",
}
}
]
}
AWS DMS currently supports map-record-to-record and map-record-to-document as the only valid values for the rule-action
parameter. map-record-to-record and map-record-to-document specify what AWS
DMS does by default to records that aren’t excluded as part of the exclude-columns
attribute list; these values don’t affect the attribute-mappings in any way.
• map-record-to-record can be used when migrating from a relational database to DynamoDB. It uses the primary key from the relational database as the partition key in Amazon DynamoDB and creates an attribute for each column in the source database. When using map-record-to-record
, for any column in the source table not listed in the exclude-columns
attribute list, AWS DMS creates a corresponding attribute on the target DynamoDB instance regardless of whether that source column is used in an attribute mapping.
API Version API Version 2016-01-01
107
AWS Database Migration Service User Guide
Using Object Mapping with DynamoDB
• map-record-to-document puts source columns into a single, flat, DynamoDB map on the target using the attribute name "_doc." When using map-record-to-document
, for any column in the source table not listed in the exclude-columns
attribute list, AWS DMS places the data into a single, flat,
DynamoDB map attribute on the source called “_doc”.
One way to understand the difference between the rule-action
parameters map-record-to-record and map-record-to-document is to see the two parameters in action. For this example, assume you are starting with a relational database table row with the following structure and data:
To migrate this information to DynamoDB, you would create rules to map the data into a DynamoDB table item. Note the columns listed for the exclude-columns
parameter. These columns are not directly mapped over to the target; instead, attribute mapping is used to combine the data into new items, such as where FirstName and LastName are grouped together to become CustomerName on the DynamoDB target. Note also that NickName and income are not excluded.

By using the rule-action
parameter map-record-to-record, the data for NickName and income are mapped to items of the same name in the DynamoDB target.
If you use the exact same rules but change the rule-action
parameter to map-record-to-document, the columns not listed in the exclude-columns
parameter, NickName and income, are mapped to a _doc item.

Using Object Mapping with DynamoDB
Using Custom Condition Expressions with Object Mapping
You can use a feature of Amazon DynamoDB called conditional expressions to manipulate data that is being written to a DynamoDB table. For more information about condition expressions in DynamoDB, see Condition Expressions .
A condition expression member consists of:
• an expression (required)
• expression attribute values (optional) . Specifies a DynamoDB json structure of the attribute value
• expression attribute names (optional)
• options for when to use the condition expression (optional). The default is apply-during-cdc = false and apply-during-full-load = true
The structure for the rule is as follows:
"target-table-name": "customer_t",
"mapping-parameters": {
"partition-key-name": "CustomerName",
"condition-expression": {
"expression":"<conditional expression>",
"expression-attribute-values": [
{
"name":"<attribute name>",
"value":<attribute value>
}
],
"apply-during-cdc":<optional Boolean value>,
"apply-during-full-load": <optional Boolean value>
}
The following sample highlights the sections used for condition expression.

Using Object Mapping with DynamoDB
Using Attribute Mapping with Object Mapping
Attribute mapping lets you specify a template string using source column names to restructure data on the target. There is no formatting done other than what the user specifies in the template.
The following example shows the structure of the source database and the desired structure of the
DynamoDB target. First is shown the structure of the source, in this case an Oracle database, and then the desired structure of the data in DynamoDB. The example concludes with the JSON used to create the desired target structure.
The structure of the Oracle data is as follows:
Oracle
FirstName LastName StoreId
PrimaryKey
Randy Marsh
N/A

Another way to use column mapping is to use DynamoDB format as your document type. The following code example uses dynamodb-map as the attribute-sub-type
for attribute mapping.
