5. Select objects for the task and configure advanced settings.
   • Basic Settings

     Parameter	Description
     Task Stages	Schema Migration and Full Data Migration are selected by default. Note In this scenario, DTS does not support incremental data migration. To ensure data consistency, we recommend that you do not write data to the source instance during data migration.
     Processing Mode of Conflicting Tables	Precheck and Report Errors: checks whether the destination database contains tables that have the same names as tables in the source database. If the source and destination databases do not contain identical table names, the precheck is passed. Otherwise, an error is returned during precheck and the data migration task cannot be started. Note You can use the object name mapping feature to rename the tables that are migrated to the destination database. You can use this feature if the source and destination databases contain identical table names and the tables in the destination database cannot be deleted or renamed. For more information, see Map object names. Ignore Errors and Proceed: skips the precheck for identical table names in the source and destination databases. Warning If you select Ignore Errors and Proceed, data consistency is not guaranteed and your business may be exposed to potential risks. If the source and destination databases have the same schema, DTS does not migrate data records that have the same primary keys as data records in the destination database. If the source and destination databases have different schemas, only some columns are migrated or the data migration task fails.
     Merge Tables	If you select Yes, DTS adds the __dts_data_source column to each table to record data sources. No is selected by default. Note If you set this parameter to Yes, all of the selected source tables in the task are merged into the destination table. To merge only the data source columns of specific tables, you can create two data migration tasks. Warning We recommend that you do not perform DDL operations to change the schemas of source databases or tables. Otherwise, data inconsistency may occur or the migration task fails.
     Select Objects	Select one or more objects from the Source Objects section and click the icon to move the objects to the Selected Objects section. Note You can select tables or databases as the objects to be migrated. If you select tables as the objects to be migrated, DTS does not migrate other objects such as views, triggers, and stored procedures to the destination database.
     Rename Databases and Tables	To rename an object that you want to migrate to the destination instance, right-click the object in the Selected Objects section. For more information, see Map the name of a single object. To rename multiple objects at a time, click in the upper-right corner of the Selected Objects section. For more information, see Map multiple object names at a time. Note If you use the object name mapping feature to rename an object, other objects that are dependent on the object may fail to be migrated.
     Filter data	You can specify WHERE conditions to filter data. For more information, see Use SQL conditions to filter data.

   • Advanced Settings

     Parameter	Description
     Set Alerts	Specify whether to set alerts for the data migration task. If the task fails or the migration latency exceeds the threshold, the alert contacts will receive notifications. Select No if you do not want to set alerts. Select Yes to set alerts. In this case, you must also set the alert threshold and alert contacts.
     Retry Time for Failed Connections	Specify the retry time for failed connections. Valid values: 10 to 1440. Unit: minutes. Default value: 120. We recommend that you set the retry time to more than 30 minutes. If DTS reconnects to the source and destination databases within the specified time, DTS resumes the data migration task. Otherwise, the data migration task fails. Note If multiple DTS instances have the same source or destination database, the lowest value takes effect. For example, the retry time is set to 30 minutes for Instance A and 60 minutes for Instance B, DTS retries failed connections at an interval of 30 minutes. When DTS retries a connection, you are charged for the DTS instance. We recommend that you specify the retry time based on your business needs. You can also release the DTS instance at your earliest opportunity after the source and destination instances are released.
     Capitalization of Object Names in Destination Instance	Specify the capitalization of database names, table names, and column names in the destination instance. By default, DTS default policy is selected. You can select other options to make sure that the capitalization of object names is consistent with that of the source or destination database. For more information, see Specify the capitalization of object names in the destination instance.

6. Specify the primary key columns and distribution keys of the tables that you want to migrate to the AnalyticDB for MySQL cluster.
   

   Note

   • If you select Schema Migration as the migration type, you must specify the type, primary key column, and distribution key for the tables that you want to migrate to the AnalyticDB for MySQL V3.0 cluster. For more information, see CREATE TABLE.
   • In the Primary Key Column field, you can select multiple columns to form a composite primary key. In this case, you must specify one or more primary key columns as the distribution keys.
7. In the lower part of the page, click Next: Save Task Settings and Precheck.
   Note

   • Before you can start the data migration task, DTS performs a precheck. You can start the data migration task only after the task passes the precheck.
   • If the task fails to pass the precheck, you can click the icon next to each failed item to view details.
     • You can troubleshoot the issues based on the causes and run a precheck again.
     • If you do not need to troubleshoot the issues, you can ignore failed items and run a precheck again.
8. Wait until the Success Rate becomes 100%. Then, click Next: Purchase Instance.
9. On the Purchase Instance page, specify the Instance Class parameter for the data migration instance. The following table describes the parameter.

   Section	Parameter	Description
   Parameters	Instance Class	DTS provides several instance classes that have different performance in migration speed. You can select an instance class based on your business scenario. For more information, see Specifications of data migration instances.

10. Read and select Data Transmission Service (Pay-as-you-go) Service Terms.
11. Click Buy and Start to start the data migration task. You can view the progress of the task in the task list.
