describe_connections

DatabaseMigrationService.Client.describe_connections(**kwargs)

Describes the status of the connections that have been made between the replication instance and an endpoint. Connections are created when you test an endpoint.

Request Syntax

response = client.describe_connections(
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'string',
            'Values': [
                'string',
            ]
        },
    ],
    MaxRecords=123,
    Marker='string'
)

Parameters:

• Filters (list) –

  The filters applied to the connection.

  Valid filter names: endpoint-arn | replication-instance-arn

  • (dict) –

    Identifies the name and value of a filter object. This filter is used to limit the number and type of DMS objects that are returned for a particular Describe* call or similar operation. Filters are used as an optional parameter for certain API operations.

    • Name (string) – [REQUIRED]

      The name of the filter as specified for a Describe* or similar operation.

    • Values (list) – [REQUIRED]

      The filter value, which can specify one or more values used to narrow the returned results.

      • (string) –

• MaxRecords (integer) –

  The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more records exist than the specified MaxRecords value, a pagination token called a marker is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved.

  Default: 100

  Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

• Marker (string) – An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

Response Structure

• (dict) –

  • Marker (string) –

    An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords.

  • Connections (list) –

    A description of the connections.

    • (dict) –

      Status of the connection between an endpoint and a replication instance, including Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) and the last error message issued.

      • ReplicationInstanceArn (string) –

        The ARN of the replication instance.

      • EndpointArn (string) –

        The ARN string that uniquely identifies the endpoint.

      • Status (string) –

        The connection status. This parameter can return one of the following values:

        • "successful"

        • "testing"

        • "failed"

        • "deleting"

      • LastFailureMessage (string) –

        The error message when the connection last failed.

      • EndpointIdentifier (string) –

        The identifier of the endpoint. Identifiers must begin with a letter and must contain only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens. They can’t end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

      • ReplicationInstanceIdentifier (string) –

        The replication instance identifier. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.

Exceptions

• DatabaseMigrationService.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundFault

Examples

Describes the status of the connections that have been made between the replication instance and an endpoint. Connections are created when you test an endpoint.

response = client.describe_connections(
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'string',
            'Values': [
                'string',
                'string',
            ],
        },
    ],
    Marker='',
    MaxRecords=123,
)

print(response)
