This topic describes how to reset a data synchronization task. You can reset a data synchronization task to stop data synchronization or configure the task again.

Prerequisites

The data synchronization task is not in the Not Configured state.

Impacts on billing

  • Subscription: no impact.
  • Pay-as-you-go: The state of the data synchronization task changes to Not Configured. You are not billed for the task when it is in this state. The billing restarts only after you configure and start the data synchronization task.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the DTS console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Data Synchronization.
  3. In the upper part of the Synchronization Tasks page, select the region where the data synchronization instance resides.
  4. Find the data synchronization task, and choose More > Reset Task in the Actions column.
    Warning If you reset a data synchronization task, the following impacts take place. Proceed with caution.
    • The data synchronization task stops. Incremental data and schema changes in the source database are not synchronized to the destination database.
    • The configurations of the data synchronization task are deleted, and the state of the task changes to Not Configured.
  5. In the message that appears, click OK.
