    Data Transmission Service:Manage environment tags

    Last Updated:Jun 20, 2026

    Data Transmission Service (DTS) lets you set an environment tag for each instance to simplify identification and management. On the Tasks page, you can add, modify, remove, and filter instances by these tags.

    Background

    The environment tag feature in DTS helps you identify instances without affecting their operational status. For example, you can set an environment tag to indicate the importance of an instance. The tag is displayed in the ID/Name column on the Tasks page for quick identification.

    Prerequisites

    A target data synchronization instance is available on the Tasks page.

    Usage notes

    • You can set only one environment tag for each instance.

    • Custom environment tags are not supported.

    Procedure

    Note

    The following steps use a data synchronization instance as an example.

    During task configuration, you can select an Environment Tag in the Advanced Settings step. To add an environment tag to an existing instance on the Tasks page, follow these steps:
