# ReplicationTask Provides information that describes a replication task created by the `CreateReplicationTask` operation. ## Contents ** CdcStartPosition ** Indicates when you want a change data capture (CDC) operation to start. Use either `CdcStartPosition` or `CdcStartTime` to specify when you want the 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” Type: String Required: No ** CdcStopPosition ** 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 ** LastFailureMessage ** The last error (failure) message generated for the replication task. Type: String Required: No ** MigrationType ** The type of migration. Type: String Valid Values: `full-load | cdc | full-load-and-cdc` Required: No ** RecoveryCheckpoint ** Indicates the last checkpoint that occurred during a change data capture (CDC) operation. You can provide this value to the `CdcStartPosition` parameter to start a CDC operation that begins at that checkpoint.

Otherwise, this response parameter isn't a member of the `ReplicationTask` object. Type: String Required: No ** TaskData ** Supplemental information that the task requires to migrate the data for certain source and target endpoints.
