Not retrieving schema list from source when migrating from MSSQL to MySQL using Workbench


I'm trying to migrate my database which is in MS SQL Server to MySQL, I'm using Workbench to do so. I get connection to both databases but get the following warning:

Retrieve schema list from source.

And this is the message log:

Starting...
Connect to source DBMS...
- Connecting to source...
Connect to source DBMS done

- Connecting to target...

WARNING: The following catalogs where not found: Autotask
- Fetching schema names...
- Finished
Retrieve schema list from source finished
Tasks finished with warnings and/or errors, view the logs for details
Finished performing tasks.

Autotask is the name of the db. Please what am I doing wrong?

Note: even with the warning the wizard let me click next, but the next screen is supposed to list schematas, but as it is empty I can't continue.

Thanks in advance. Pablo


Solution

  • Make sure you're connecting to MS SQL as user "sa". Non-admin users may lack rights that are necessary to extract schemas...
