## Request Parameters
<a name="API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [CdcStartPosition](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-CdcStartPosition"></a>
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\$127\$1mysql-bin-changelog.157832:1975:-1:2002:677883278264080:mysql-bin-changelog.157832:1876\$10\$10\$1\$1\$10\$193"  
LSN Example: --cdc-start-position “mysql-bin-changelog.000024:373”  
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 AWS DMS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Source.PostgreSQL.html#CHAP_Source.PostgreSQL.ConnectionAttrib).
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** [CdcStartTime](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-CdcStartTime"></a>
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”  
Type: Timestamp  
Required: No

 ** [CdcStopPosition](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-CdcStopPosition"></a>
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\$1time:2018-02-09T12:12:12”  
Commit time example: --cdc-stop-position “commit\$1time:2018-02-09T12:12:12“  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** [MigrationType](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-MigrationType"></a>
The migration type. Valid values: `full-load` \$1 `cdc` \$1 `full-load-and-cdc`   
Type: String  
Valid Values: `full-load | cdc | full-load-and-cdc`   
Required: Yes

 ** [ReplicationInstanceArn](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-ReplicationInstanceArn"></a>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a replication instance.  
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** [ReplicationTaskIdentifier](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-ReplicationTaskIdentifier"></a>
An identifier for the replication task.  
Constraints:  
+ Must contain 1-255 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.
+ First character must be a letter.
+ Cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** [ReplicationTaskSettings](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-ReplicationTaskSettings"></a>
Overall settings for the task, in JSON format. For more information, see [Specifying Task Settings for AWS Database Migration Service Tasks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Tasks.CustomizingTasks.TaskSettings.html) in the * AWS Database Migration Service User Guide.*   
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** [ResourceIdentifier](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-ResourceIdentifier"></a>
A friendly name for the resource identifier at the end of the `EndpointArn` response parameter that is returned in the created `Endpoint` object. The value for this parameter can have up to 31 characters. It can contain only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphen ('-'). Also, it can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens, and can only begin with a letter, such as `Example-App-ARN1`. For example, this value might result in the `EndpointArn` value `arn:aws:dms:eu-west-1:012345678901:rep:Example-App-ARN1`. If you don't specify a `ResourceIdentifier` value, AWS DMS generates a default identifier value for the end of `EndpointArn`.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** [SourceEndpointArn](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-SourceEndpointArn"></a>
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the source endpoint.  
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** [TableMappings](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-TableMappings"></a>
The table mappings for the task, in JSON format. For more information, see [Using Table Mapping to Specify Task Settings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Tasks.CustomizingTasks.TableMapping.html) in the * AWS Database Migration Service User Guide.*   
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** [Tags](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-Tags"></a>
One or more tags to be assigned to the replication task.  
Type: Array of [Tag](API_Tag.md) objects  
Required: No

 ** [TargetEndpointArn](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-TargetEndpointArn"></a>
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the target endpoint.  
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** [TaskData](#API_CreateReplicationTask_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DMS-CreateReplicationTask-request-TaskData"></a>
Supplemental information that the task requires to migrate the data for certain source and target endpoints. For more information, see [Specifying Supplemental Data for Task Settings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Tasks.TaskData.html) in the * AWS Database Migration Service User Guide.*
