  1. Go to your Management Console window or reopen it from the Team Dashboard

  2. Navigate to the AWS Application Migration Service. The short name for it is MGN if you want to use the service search facility: Initial setup

  3. Click on the Get started button Initial setup

  4. Populate Set up Application Migration Service screen with the following value

    Parameter Value
