    A list of discovered databases appears.

    Database inventory.
  3. Choose Analyze inventories to determine schema properties, such as similarity and complexity. The amount of time the process takes depends on the number of objects to analyze, but it won't take more than one hour. Results from the analysis are found on the Schemas tab located on the Inventory page.

    DMS Fleet Advisor analyzes schemas across all discovered databases to define the intersection of their objects. The analysis result is expressed in percentage. DMS Fleet Advisor considers schemas with intersections of more than 50 percent as duplicates. Original schema is identified as the schema to which there are duplicates found. This helps to identify original schemas to convert or migrate first.

    The entire inventory is analyzed together to identify duplicate schemas.
