DMS Schema Conversion

Overview

This skill handles the full DMS Schema Conversion lifecycle — from first-time setup to running conversions on an existing project.

The AWS MCP server is recommended for streamlined execution, audit logging, and observability. When the MCP server is not available, all operations can be performed via AWS CLI directly.

Key documentation:

Selection rules in DMS Schema Conversion — scoping operations to specific objects

Transformation rules in DMS Schema Conversion — renaming schemas, tables, columns during conversion

Global constraint: You MUST fetch and read any linked documentation before acting on it — do NOT rely on memory for any referenced material (selection rules, transformation rules, troubleshooting guides, network configuration, etc.). Documentation contains vendor-specific details that change between engines and API versions.
