Data Transmission Service:Data synchronization user guide

Last Updated:Aug 25, 2026

The data synchronization feature synchronizes data between data sources in real time. This feature supports various business scenarios, such as active geo-redundancy, geo-disaster recovery, local data disaster recovery, cross-border data synchronization, query and report offloading, cloud business intelligence (BI), and real-time data warehousing. This topic describes how to use the data synchronization feature to create, monitor, and manage data synchronization tasks.

Background information

  • Overview of data synchronization solutions

    This topic describes the databases, initial synchronization types, and synchronization topologies that are supported by the data synchronization feature. It also describes the configuration steps.

  • Data type mappings for initial schema synchronization

    Different databases support different data types, which cannot always be perfectly mapped. During an initial schema synchronization, DTS maps data types based on the types supported by the destination database. Review these mappings to assess the impact on your business.

Data synchronization procedure

To perform data synchronization using Data Transmission Service (DTS), follow these steps.

Procedure

Description

  1. Preparations

    ions

Before using DTS for data synchronization, prepare the source and destination databases to meet the environment requirements.

  1. Configure a synchronization task

    nchronization task

Complete the synchronization task configuration with simple operations in the console.

  1. Manage the synchronization task

  • Monitor task performance

    The replication performance display feature lets you monitor the status of data synchronization tasks and provides a basis for task management.

  • Modify synchronization objects

    During the data synchronization process, you can add or remove synchronization objects.

  • Configure monitoring and alerting

    Configure alert rules for important metrics to be notified of the task status promptly.
