The "SQL Server Database Migration Wizard" aka SQL Azure Migration Wizard previously located at http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/, but it is gone.
I attempted to search via Google for its new home, but I cannot find it.
Does anyone know where this tool has gone?

SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) Migrate Microsoft Access, DB2, MySQL, Oracle, and SAP ASE databases to SQL Server. Migrate Microsoft Access, DB2, MySQL, Oracle, and SAP ASE databases to Azure SQL.
The Data Migration Assistant (DMA) helps you upgrade to a modern data platform by detecting compatibility issues that can impact database functionality in your new version of SQL Server or Azure SQL Database.
The Migration Wizard guides you through the migration of one or more databases from Access to SQL Server Or SQL Azure. By using the wizard, you will create a project, add databases to the project, select objects to migrate, and connect to SQL Server Or SQL Azure.

You will also convert, load, and migrate Access schemas and data.
At the time of migrating databases, there are chances that we can miss some important steps, for example trustworthy property, dependent jobs, linked server, logins etc. There are also chances we are missing important DBA items which can hurt SQL Server performance.
There are two primary methods for migrating a SQL Server 2005 or later database to Azure SQL Database. The first method is simpler but requires some, possibly substantial, downtime during the migration. The second method is more complex, but substantially eliminates downtime during the migration.
It is replaced with Data Migration assistant..
Data Migration Assistant (DMA) enables you to upgrade to a modern data platform by detecting compatibility issues that can impact database functionality on your new version of SQL Server and Azure SQL Database. It recommends performance and reliability improvements for your target environment. It allows you to not only move your schema and data, but also uncontained objects from your source server to your target server
DMA replaces all previous versions of SQL Server Upgrade Advisor and should be used for upgrades for most SQL Server versions (see below for supported versions).

You can now find it here: https://github.com/adragoset/SQLAzureMigration
(I searched for a long time too before I found it.)
That code did not work out of the box for me. Took me about 30-40 minutes to get it to build. But seems to work fine once I got it to build and run.
