**To modify a data provider**

The following ``modify-data-provider`` example updates the description and server name of a data provider. ::

    aws dms modify-data-provider \
        --data-provider-identifier arn:aws:dms:us-east-1:123456789012:data-provider:EXAMPLEABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS \
        --description "Updated data provider description" \
        --engine sqlserver \
        --settings MicrosoftSqlServerSettings={ServerName=new-source-server.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com}

Output::

    {
        "DataProvider": {
            "DataProviderName": "example-data-provider",
            "DataProviderArn": "arn:aws:dms:us-east-1:123456789012:data-provider:EXAMPLEABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS",
            "DataProviderCreationTime": "2026-01-09T12:30:00.000000+00:00",

                    "ServerName": "new-source-server.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com",
                    "Port": 1433,
