SQL Server to Azure Migration Tool RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi, we are trying to use the Data Migration assistant to migrate our on prem SQL Server Database to Azure SQL Database.  However when we try and connect to the on prem server, it's failing because the SQL Server instance is running on port 4657 and not the default 1433.  Is there any way we can specify or change the port number somehow in the migration tool or the Azure Migration portal?  Many thanks.

  • I managed to stumble across the solution myself in case anyone else has the same issue:

    Server name: server_example.com\SQL6,{portnumber}

  • In the Data Migration Assistant, select the New (+) icon, and then select the Assessment project type.

    Specify a project name, in the Source server type text box, select SQL Server, in the Target server type text box, select Azure SQL Database, and then select Create to create the project.

    When you're assessing the source SQL Server database migrating to a single database or pooled database in Azure SQL Database, you can choose one or both of the following assessment report types:

    Check database compatibility
    Check feature parity
    Both report types are selected by default.

    In the Data Migration Assistant, on the Options screen, select Next.

    On the Select sources screen, in the Connect to a server dialog box, provide the connection details to your SQL Server, and then select Connect.

    In the Add sources dialog box, select AdventureWorks2012, select Add, and then select Start Assessment.
