# Step 7: Create a Migration Project


Now you can create a migration project which is the foundation of your work with DMS Schema Conversion. A migration project describes your source and target data providers, your instance profile, and migration rules.

To create a migration project

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS DMS console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/dms/v2/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/dms/v2/).

1. Choose your AWS Region.

1. Choose **Migration projects**, and then choose **Create migration project**.

1. For **Name**, enter a unique name for your migration project. For example, enter `sc-project`.

1. For **Instance profile**, choose `sc-instance`. You created this instance profile in [Step 5](schema-conversion-sql-server-aurora-postgresql-step-5.md).

1. For **Source**, choose **Browse**, and then choose `sc-sql-server`. You created this data provider in [Step 6](schema-conversion-sql-server-aurora-postgresql-step-6.md).

1. For **Secret ID**, choose `sc-sql-server-secret`. You created this secret in [Step 4](schema-conversion-sql-server-aurora-postgresql-step-4.md).

1. For **IAM role**, choose `sc-secrets-manager-role`. You created this role in [Step 1](schema-conversion-sql-server-aurora-postgresql-step-1.md).

1. For **Target**, choose **Browse**, and then choose `sc-postgresql`. You created this data provider in [Step 6](schema-conversion-sql-server-aurora-postgresql-step-6.md).

1. For **Secret ID**, choose `sc-postgresql-secret`. You created this secret in [Step 4](schema-conversion-sql-server-aurora-postgresql-step-4.md).

1. For **IAM role**, choose `sc-secrets-manager-role`. You created this role in [Step 1](schema-conversion-sql-server-aurora-postgresql-step-1.md).

1. Choose **Create migration project**.

Use this migration project to convert your SQL Server database schemas to PostgreSQL.
