Install SSMA components on SQL Server (MySQLToSQL)

In addition to installing SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA), you must also install components on the computer that is running SQL Server. These components include the SSMA extension pack, which supports data migration, and MySQL providers to enable server-to-server connectivity.

SSMA for MySQL extension pack

The SSMA extension pack adds a database, sysdb, to the specified instance of SQL Server. This database contains the tables and stored procedures that are required to migrate data.

Also, when you migrate data to SQL Server, SSMA creates SQL Server Agent jobs, when server side data migration engine is used for migrating the data.

Prerequisites

Before you install the SSMA for MySQL server components on SQL Server, make sure that the computer meets the following requirements:

  • Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 or a later version.

  • The Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.7.2 or a later version. You can obtain it from the .NET Framework Developer Center.

  • The MySQL Client Provider, and connectivity to the MySQL database that you want to migrate. You can install providers from the MySQL product media or MySQL Web site.

  • The SQL Server Browser service must be running during installation. This is used to populate a list of the instances of SQL Server in the Setup wizard. You can disable the SQL Server Browser service after installation.

    Note

    If the SQL Server Browser service is running, but you still don't see a list of instances in Setup, you must unblock UDP port 1434. You can use Windows Firewall to temporarily unblock the port, or you can temporarily disable Windows Firewall. You might also have to temporarily disable antivirus software. Make sure to enable firewalls and antivirus software after installation.

Important

To install the extension pack, you must be a member of the sysadmin server role on the instance of SQL Server.

To install the extension pack:

  1. Copy SSMA for SSMAforMySQLExtensionPack_n.msi, where n is the build number, to the computer that is running SQL Server.

  2. Double-click SSMAforMySQLExtensionPack_n.msi.

  3. On the Welcome dialog box, select Next.

  4. On the End-User License Agreement dialog box, read the license agreement. If you agree, select the I accept the agreement option, and then select Next.

  5. On the Choose Setup Type dialog box, select Typical.

  6. On the Ready to Install dialog box, select Install.

  7. On the Completed the First Step of Installation dialog box, select Next.

    A new dialog box appears, in which you select the instance of SQL Server for the Extension Pack installation.

  8. Select the instance of SQL Server where you are migrating MySQL schemas, and then select Next.

    The default instance has the same name as the computer. Named instances are followed by a backslash and the instance name.

  9. On the connection page, select the authentication method and then select Next.

    Windows Authentication uses your Windows credentials to try to sign in the instance of SQL Server. If you select Server Authentication, you must enter a SQL Server login name and password.

  10. Next step requires you to set the password for a master key that will be used to encrypt any sensitive data stored in the extension pack database during server-side data migration. Provide a strong password and select Next.

  11. On the next dialog box, select Install Utilities Database n and Install Extension Pack libraries, where n is the version number, and then select Next.

    The sysdb database is created with the tables and stored procedures required for data migration (using server-side data migration engine) are created in this database.

  12. To install the utilities to another instance of SQL Server, select Yes, and then select Next. Or, to exit the wizard, select No.
