Queues an export of the selected converted metadata models (database objects such as tables, views, and procedures) to your target database. If other requests created by Start* operations are already in the migration project’s queue, the export begins after they complete.
This operation requires a non-virtual target data provider.
The export applies only metadata models created by conversion. Metadata models imported from the database are skipped.
The operation installs the extension pack on the target database. For more information, see Using extension packs in DMS Schema Conversion .
To check the status of the export request, call DescribeMetadataModelExportsToTarget using the returned RequestIdentifier as a filter.
Required permissions:dms:StartMetadataModelExportToTarget. For more information, see Actions, resources, and condition keys for Database Migration Service .

--migration-project-identifier (string) [required]
The migration project name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
Constraints:
- max:
255
--selection-rules (string) [required]
A JSON string that identifies the metadata models to export to the target database. For the selection rule format and examples, see Selection rules in DMS Schema Conversion .
Usage:
- Accepts only target selection rules, where
server-namein the object locator matches the target data provider.- Supports
explicit,include, andexcluderule actions.
--overwrite-extension-pack | --no-overwrite-extension-pack (boolean)
Specifies whether to overwrite the extension pack if one already exists on the target database. The default value istrue.
--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
--debug (boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url (string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate (boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output (string)
The formatting style for command output.
--query (string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region (string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version (string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color (string)
Turn on/off color output.
--no-sign-request (boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle (string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout (int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout (int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format (string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
--no-cli-pager (boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--cli-error-format (string)
The formatting style for error output. By default, errors are displayed in enhanced format.
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To export converted metadata models to the target database
The following start-metadata-model-export-to-target example queues an export of converted metadata models for all objects in the ExampleSchema schema to the target database.
aws dms start-metadata-model-export-to-target \
--migration-project-identifier arn:aws:dms:us-east-1:123456789012:migration-project:EXAMPLEABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS \
--selection-rules '{"rules": [{"rule-type": "selection","rule-id": "1","rule-name": "1","object-locator": {"server-name": "example-target-server.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com", "schema-name": "ExampleSchema"},"rule-action": "explicit"}]}' \
--overwrite-extension-pack
Output:
{
"RequestIdentifier": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111"
}
