This topic describes how to change the billing method of a data synchronization or change tracking task to pay-as-you-go or subscription. The change has no impact on the operation of the Data Transmission Service (DTS) instance.
Precautions
- In the new DTS console, you can change the billing method from pay-as-you-go to subscription or the other way around. In the old DTS console, you can change the billing method only from pay-as-you-go to subscription. We recommend that you use the new DTS console.
- The billing method of data migration tasks can only be pay-as-you-go. You do not need to change the billing method of data migration tasks.
- In the new DTS console, the instance ID remains unchanged after you change the billing method. In the old DTS console, the instance ID is changed after you change the billing method.
Prerequisites
- A data synchronization or change tracking task is created.
- If you use the old DTS console, a subscription instance must be created in advance
so that you can change a pay-as-you-go instance to the subscription instance. The
subscription instance must meet the following requirements:
- If you change the billing method of a data synchronization task, the following parameters of the subscription instance are set to the same values as those of the data synchronization task: Source Instance, Source Region, Destination Instance, Destination Region, and Synchronization Topology.
- If you change the billing method of a change tracking task, the Source Region parameter of the subscription instance is set to the same value as that of the change tracking task.
