# Viewing an assessment report in AWS Schema Conversion Tool
<a name="CHAP_AssessmentReport.View"></a>

After you create an assessment report, the assessment report view opens, showing the following tabs:
+ **Summary**
+ **Action Items**

The **Summary** tab shows items that were automatically converted or not converted.

The **Action Items** tab shows items that couldn't be converted automatically, and recommendations on what to do about them.

# Assessment report summary
<a name="CHAP_AssessmentReport.Summary"></a>

The **Summary** tab displays the summary information from the database migration assessment report. It shows items that were converted automatically, and items that were not converted automatically.

![\[Assessment report summary\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/SchemaConversionTool/latest/userguide/images/summary_tab.png)


For schema items that can't be converted automatically to the target database engine, the summary includes an estimate of the effort required to create schema items in your target DB instance that are equivalent to those in your source. 

The report categorizes the estimated time to convert these schema items as follows: 
+ **Simple** – Actions that can be completed in less than two hours. 
+ **Medium** – Actions that are more complex and can be completed in two to six hours. 
+ **Significant** – Actions that are very complex and take more than six hours to complete. 

The section **License Evaluation and Cloud Support** contains information about moving your existing on-premises database schema to an Amazon RDS DB instance running the same engine. For example, if you want to change license types, this section of the report tells you which features from your current database should be removed.

# Assessment report action items

The assessment report view also includes an **Action Items** tab. This tab contains a list of items that can't be converted automatically to the database engine of your target Amazon RDS DB instance. If you select an action item from the list, AWS SCT highlights the item from your schema that the action item applies to. 

The report also contains recommendations for how to manually convert the schema item. For example, after the assessment runs, detailed reports for the database/schema show you the effort required to design and implement the recommendations for converting Action items. For more information about deciding how to handle manual conversions, see [Converting schemas using AWS SCTManually converting schemas in AWS SCT](CHAP_Converting.Manual.md).

# Assessment report warning message
<a name="CHAP_AssessmentReport.WarningMessage"></a>

To assess the complexity of converting to another database engine, AWS SCT requires access to objects in your source database. When SCT can’t perform an assessment because problems were encountered during scanning, a warning message is issued that indicates overall conversion percentage is reduced.

![\[Assessment report warning message\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/SchemaConversionTool/latest/userguide/images/assessment-report-warning-message.png)


Following are reasons why AWS SCT might encounter problems during scanning:
+ The user account connected to the database doesn’t have access to all of the needed objects.
+ An object cited in the schema no longer exists in the database.
+ SCT is trying to assess an object that is encrypted. 

For more information about SCT required security permissions and privileges for your database, see [Connecting to source databases with the AWS Schema Conversion Tool](CHAP_Source.md) for the appropriate source database section in this guide.
