startReplicationTaskType

The type of replication task to start.

start-replication is the only valid action that can be used for the first time a task with the migration type of full-loadfull-load, full-load-and-cdc or cdc is run. Any other action used for the first time on a given task, such as resume-processing and reload-target will result in data errors.

You can also use ReloadTables to reload specific tables that failed during migration instead of restarting the task.

For a full-load task, the resume-processing option will reload any tables that were partially loaded or not yet loaded 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.

For a cdc only task, to start from a specific position, you must use start-replication and also specify the start position. Check the source endpoint DMS documentation for any limitations. For example, not all sources support starting from a time.

resume-processing is only available for previously executed tasks.
