Request Syntax
response = client.start_replication_task(
ReplicationTaskArn='string',
StartReplicationTaskType='start-replication'|'resume-processing'|'reload-target',
CdcStartTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
CdcStartPosition='string',
CdcStopPosition='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the replication task to be started.
[REQUIRED]
The type of replication task to start.
When the migration type is full-load or full-load-and-cdc , the only valid value for the first run of the task is start-replication . This option will start the migration.
You can also use ReloadTables to reload specific tables that failed during migration instead of restarting the task.
The resume-processing option isn't applicable for a full-load task, because you can't resume partially loaded tables during the full load phase.
For a full-load-and-cdc task, DMS migrates table data, and then applies data changes that occur on the source. To load all the tables again, and start capturing source changes, use reload-target . Otherwise use resume-processing , to replicate the changes from the last stop position.
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.
Timestamp Example: --cdc-start-time “2018-03-08T12:12:12”
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.
Date Example: --cdc-start-position “2018-03-08T12:12:12”
Checkpoint Example: --cdc-start-position "checkpoint:V1#27#mysql-bin-changelog.157832:1975:-1:2002:677883278264080:mysql-bin-changelog.157832:1876#0#0#*#0#93"
LSN Example: --cdc-start-position “mysql-bin-changelog.000024:373”
Note
When you use this task setting with a source PostgreSQL database, a logical replication slot should already be created and associated with the source endpoint. You can verify this by setting the slotName extra connection attribute to the name of this logical replication slot. For more information, see Extra Connection Attributes When Using PostgreSQL as a Source for DMS.
Indicates when you want a change data capture (CDC) operation to stop. The value can be either server time or commit time.
Server time example: --cdc-stop-position “server_time:2018-02-09T12:12:12”
Commit time example: --cdc-stop-position “commit_time: 2018-02-09T12:12:12“

Response Structure
(dict) --
ReplicationTask (dict) --
The replication task started.
ReplicationTaskIdentifier (string) --
The user-assigned replication task identifier or name.
Constraints:
SourceEndpointArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the endpoint.
TargetEndpointArn (string) --
The ARN that uniquely identifies the endpoint.
ReplicationInstanceArn (string) --
The ARN of the replication instance.
MigrationType (string) --
The type of migration.
TableMappings (string) --
Table mappings specified in the task.
ReplicationTaskSettings (string) --
The settings for the replication task.
Status (string) --
The status of the replication task. This response parameter can return one of the following values:
"moving" – The task is being moved in response to running the MoveReplicationTask operation."creating" – The task is being created in response to running the CreateReplicationTask operation."deleting" – The task is being deleted in response to running the DeleteReplicationTask operation."failed" – The task failed to successfully complete the database migration in response to running the StartReplicationTask operation."failed-move" – The task failed to move in response to running the MoveReplicationTask operation."modifying" – The task definition is being modified in response to running the ModifyReplicationTask operation."ready" – The task is in a ready state where it can respond to other task operations, such as StartReplicationTask or DeleteReplicationTask."running" – The task is performing a database migration in response to running the StartReplicationTask operation."starting" – The task is preparing to perform a database migration in response to running the StartReplicationTask operation."stopped" – The task has stopped in response to running the StopReplicationTask operation."stopping" – The task is preparing to stop in response to running the StopReplicationTask operation."testing" – The database migration specified for this task is being tested in response to running either the StartReplicationTaskAssessmentRun or the StartReplicationTaskAssessment operation.Note
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.
LastFailureMessage (string) --
The last error (failure) message generated for the replication task.
StopReason (string) --
The reason the replication task was stopped. This response parameter can return one of the following values:
