Save and load assessments with Data Migration Assistant

Important

Data Migration Assistant (DMA) is deprecated. For migration options from SQL Server to Azure SQL, see the migration options for SQL Server to Azure SQL.

The following step-by-step instructions help you use the Data Migration Assistant v5.0 or later to save a database assessment to a file, and then to load an assessment from a file.

In addition to loading assessments saved using the latest version of DMA, users can also use this feature to load assessments exported as .json files from previous versions of Data Migration Assistant to view the results in v5.0 and later.

Save an assessment to a file

  1. After running an assessment using Data Migration Assistant, select Save Assessment.

  2. Specify a name for the file, and then select Save.
