Using DMS to migrate AWS RDS for SQL Server to Azure SQL

[bh3r1th]

As per the details in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/tutorial-rds-sql-server-azure-sql-and-managed-instance-online, we can select AWS RDS for SQL Server as the source server for DMS.
But, I'm not finding that in my DMS deployment. You can see that in the screenshot I attached.

So, can we use Azure DMS for migrating AWS RDS for SQL Server to Azure SQL or not?

@nunepalli After reviewing the document we found that source has been used as SQL Server for RDS SQL server as well.
Please can you check the same and let us know the result. Also we hope you are using DMS 3.3 or later.

I'm using DMA v5.2.4764.4

I'll test whether choosing source server type as "SQL Server" will work for migrating from AWS RDS for SQL Server or not.

Meanwhile, please update the details in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dms/tutorial-rds-sql-server-azure-sql-and-managed-instance-online
DMS screenshots are misleading.

@nunepalli Review with SQL Server, if successful we will assign the issue for enhancement to our doc author.

I'm able to migrate database from AWS RDS for SQL Server to Azure SQL by choosing "SQL Server" as the source server type in DMS project.

@nunepalli We are glad this is resolved for you. Please convey which screenshots are not correct. If you can give an example, please convey that as well.

@NavtejSaini-MSFT
These 2 screenshots are showing that we can select AWS RDS for SQL Server in DMS

@nunepalli Thank you for this.
@pochiraju Please check the screenshots above and please help us change the same.

It looks like the original tutorial has been removed as it redirects to the landing page now. Because the screenshots are no longer an issue (as the article was removed), I am closing this issue. If this is incorrect, please let me know and we will address the issue in the documentation. Thank you! #please-close
