You can create multiple consumer groups when you use the change tracking feature. Consumers in different consumer groups can track data changes from the same data source. Consumer groups allow you to reduce usage costs and improve the efficiency of data consumption.

Usage notes

  • You can create a maximum of 20 consumer groups in a change tracking instance to achieve repeated data consumption.
  • You can create only a single consumer in each consumer group.
  • DTS reads incremental data by using the DStore module or a client. If you switch the module or client, data duplication may occur.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the DTS console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Change Tracking.
  3. In the upper part of the Change Tracking Tasks page, select the region where the change tracking instance resides.
  4. Find the change tracking instance that you have purchased and click the instance ID. Click the instance ID
  5. In the left-side navigation pane, click Data Consume.
