# DMS Replication Task

An AWS DMS Replication Task defines the actual migration or replication job that moves data between a source and target database. It specifies the type of migration, such as full load, ongoing replication, or both, and includes settings for table mappings, transformations, and task behavior. This resource is central to controlling how data is transferred and kept in sync during database migrations.

| status                          | core | string     | The status of the replication task. This response parameter can return one of the following values: "moving" â The task is being moved in response to running the MoveReplicationTask operation. "creating" â The task is being created in response to running the CreateReplicationTask operation. "deleting" â The task is being deleted in response to running the DeleteReplicationTask operation. "failed" â The task failed to successfully complete the database migration in response to running the StartReplicationTask operation. "failed-move" â The task failed to move in response to running the MoveReplicationTask operation. "modifying" â The task definition is being modified in response to running the ModifyReplicationTask operation. "ready" â The task is in a ready state where it can respond to other task operations, such as StartReplicationTask or DeleteReplicationTask . "running" â The task is performing a database migration in response to running the StartReplicationTask operation. "starting" â The task is preparing to perform a database migration in response to running the StartReplicationTask operation. "stopped" â The task has stopped in response to running the StopReplicationTask operation. "stopping" â The task is preparing to stop in response to running the StopReplicationTask operation. "testing" â The database migration specified for this task is being tested in response to running either the StartReplicationTaskAssessmentRun or the StartReplicationTaskAssessment operation. StartReplicationTaskAssessmentRun is an improved premigration task assessment operation. The StartReplicationTaskAssessment operation assesses data type compatibility only between the source and target database of a given migration task. In contrast, StartReplicationTaskAssessmentRun enables you to specify a variety of premigration task assessments in addition to data type compatibility. These assessments include ones for the validity of primary key definitions and likely issues with database migration performance, among others. |
