**To create a replication task** 

The following ``create-replication-task`` example creates a replication task. ::

    aws dms create-replication-task \
        --replication-task-identifier movedata \
        --source-endpoint-arn arn:aws:dms:us-east-1:123456789012:endpoint:6GGI6YPWWGAYUVLKIB732KEVWA \
        --target-endpoint-arn arn:aws:dms:us-east-1:123456789012:endpoint:EOM4SFKCZEYHZBFGAGZT3QEC5U \
        --replication-instance-arn $RI_ARN \
        --migration-type full-load \
        --table-mappings file://table-mappings.json

Contents of ``table-mappings.json``::

    {
        "rules": [
            {
                "rule-type": "selection",
                "rule-id": "1",
                "rule-name": "1",

                "filters": []
            }
        ]
    }
