How to fix `user must specify LSN` when using AWS DMS for Postgres RDS

I'm trying to migrate and synchronize a PostgreSQL database using AWS DMS and I'm getting the following error.

Last Error Task error notification received from subtask 0, thread 0 
[reptask/replicationtask.c:2673] [1020101] When working with Configured Slotname, user must 
specify LSN; Error executing source loop; Stream component failed at subtask 0, component 
st_0_D27UO7SI6SIKOSZ4V6RH4PPTZQ ; Stream component 'st_0_D27UO7SI6SIKOSZ4V6RH4PPTZQ' 
terminated [reptask/replicationtask.c:2680] [1020101] Stop Reason FATAL_ERROR Error Level FATAL

I already created a replication slot and configured its name in the source endpoint.

DMS Engine version: 3.1.4

Does anyone knows anything that could help me?

  • Luan -

    I experienced the same issue - I was trying to replicate data from Postgres to an S3 bucket.I would check two things - your version of Postgres and the DMS version being used. I downgraded my RDS postgres version to 9.6 and my DMS version to 2.4.5 to get replication working.

    enter image description here You can find more details here - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Source.PostgreSQL.html

    I wanted to try the newer versions of DMS (3.1.4 and 3.3.0[beta]) as it has parquet support but I have gotten the same errors you mentioned above.

    Hope this helps.
