Data Management:View the control mode

Last Updated:Mar 30, 2026

Find which control mode is assigned to a database instance registered in the Data Management (DMS) console.

Background

DMS provides three control modes: Flexible Management, Stable Change, and Security Collaboration. For details about each mode, see the Overview section of the "Control modes" topic.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

  • Access to the DMS console V5.0

  • The DMS administrator or database administrator (DBA) role (required to view the control modes of all instances on the Instances page)

View the control mode of a single instance

  1. In the left-side instance list, enter a keyword in the search box.

    You can search by instance name, instance address, and database type.
  2. Hover over the instance name to see its control mode.

View the control modes of all instances

The Instances page lists every registered instance along with its control mode. Only DMS administrators and DBAs can access this page.

To open the Instances page, hover over the 2023-01-28_15-57-17.png icon in the upper-left corner and choose All functions > Data Assets > Instances.

In normal mode, choose Data Assets > Instances from the top navigation bar.

What's next

If the current control mode does not meet your requirements, edit the instance to change it. See Change the control mode of an instance.
