start_replication#

DatabaseMigrationService.Client.start_replication(**kwargs)#

For a given DMS Serverless replication configuration, DMS connects to the source endpoint and collects the metadata to analyze the replication workload. Using this metadata, DMS then computes and provisions the required capacity and starts replicating to the target endpoint using the server resources that DMS has provisioned for the DMS Serverless replication.

Request Syntax

response = client.start_replication(
    ReplicationConfigArn='string',
    StartReplicationType='string',
    CdcStartTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    CdcStartPosition='string',
    CdcStopPosition='string'
)
Parameters:

  • ReplicationConfigArn (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name of the replication for which to start replication.

  • StartReplicationType (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The replication type.

  • CdcStartTime (datetime) – Indicates the start time for a change data capture (CDC) operation. Use either CdcStartTime or CdcStartPosition to specify when you want a CDC operation to start. Specifying both values results in an error.

  • CdcStartPosition (string) –

    Indicates when you want a change data capture (CDC) operation to start. Use either CdcStartPosition or CdcStartTime to specify when you want a CDC operation to start. Specifying both values results in an error.

    The value can be in date, checkpoint, or LSN/SCN format.

  • CdcStopPosition (string) – Indicates when you want a change data capture (CDC) operation to stop. The value can be either server time or commit time.

Return type:

dict

Returns:
