Migration types

• Schema migration

  DTS migrates the schema definitions of the migration objects from the source database to the destination database.

  Currently, DTS supports schema migration for tables.

  Note

  You can migrate all tables in a database or migrate individual tables.

• Full migration

  DTS migrates all historical data of the specified migration objects from the source database to the destination database.

4. After you complete the configuration, click Test Connectivity and Proceed at the bottom of the page. In the CIDR Blocks of DTS Servers dialog box that appears, click Test Connectivity.

   Note

   Ensure that the IP address segments of the DTS service are automatically or manually added to the security settings of the source and destination databases to allow access from DTS servers. For more information, see Add DTS server IP addresses to a whitelist.

5. Configure the task objects.

   1. On the Configure Objects page, configure the objects that you want to migrate.

      Parameter	Description
      Migration Types	Schema Migration and Full Data Migration are selected by default. Note This scenario does not support incremental data migration. To ensure data consistency, do not write new data to the source instance during data migration. The schema and data of tables created by using the CREATE TABLE statement can be migrated to the destination database.
      Processing Mode for Existing Destination Tables	Precheck and Report Errors: Checks whether tables with the same names exist in the destination database. If no tables with the same names exist, the precheck is passed. If tables with the same names exist, an error is reported during the precheck, and the data migration task does not start. Note If a table in the destination database has the same name but cannot be easily deleted or renamed, you can change the name of the table in the destination database. For more information, see Object name mapping. Ignore Errors and Proceed: Skips the check for tables with the same names. Warning Selecting Ignore Errors and Proceed may cause data inconsistency and business risks. For example: If the table schemas are consistent and a record in the destination database has the same primary key value as a record in the source database: During full migration, DTS keeps the record in the destination database. The record from the source database is not migrated. During incremental migration, DTS does not keep the record in the destination database. The record from the source database overwrites the record in the destination database. If the table schemas are inconsistent, only some columns of data may be migrated, or the migration may fail. Proceed with caution.
      Table Merging	If you select Yes, DTS adds the __dts_data_source column to each table to record data sources. For more information, see Enable multi-table merge. If you select No, this is the default option. Note The table merging feature is configured at the task level, not the table level. To merge some tables but not others, you must create two separate data migration tasks. Warning Do not perform DDL operations to change the schema of the source database or tables. Otherwise, data inconsistency or task failure may occur.
      Capitalization of Object Names in Destination Instance	You can configure the case sensitivity policy for the names of migrated objects, such as databases, tables, and columns, in the destination instance. By default, DTS default policy is selected. You can also choose to keep the case sensitivity consistent with the default policy of the source or destination database. For more information, see Case sensitivity of object names in the destination database.
      Source Objects	In the Source Objects box, click the objects to migrate, and then click to move them to the Selected Objects box. Note You can select objects at the database or table level. If you select tables, other objects such as views, triggers, and stored procedures are not migrated. If you select an entire database, the default behavior is as follows: If a source table has a primary key (single-column or composite), its primary key columns are used as the distribution key. If a source table does not have a primary key, an auto-incrementing primary key column is automatically generated. This may cause data inconsistency between the source and destination databases.
      Selected Objects	To change the name of a single migration object in the target instance, right-click the object in the Selected Objects box. For more information, see Map individual schema, table, and column names. To change the names of multiple migration objects in the target instance, click Selected Objects in the upper-right corner of the Batch Edit box. For more information, see Map multiple schema, table, and column names. Note If you use the object name mapping feature, the migration of dependent objects may fail. To filter data by using a WHERE clause, right-click a table in the Selected Objects box and set the filter conditions. For more information, see Set filter conditions.

   2. Click Next: Advanced Settings to configure advanced parameters.

      Parameter	Description
      Dedicated Cluster for Task Scheduling	By default, DTS schedules tasks on a shared cluster. You do not need to select one. If you want more stable tasks, you can purchase a dedicated cluster to run DTS migration tasks.
      Retry Time for Failed Connections	After the migration task starts, if the connection to the source or destination database fails, DTS reports an error and immediately begins to retry the connection. The default retry duration is 720 minutes. You can customize the retry time to a value from 10 to 1440 minutes. We recommend that you set the duration to more than 30 minutes. If DTS reconnects to the source and destination databases within the specified duration, the migration task automatically resumes. Otherwise, the task fails. Note For multiple DTS instances that share the same source or destination, the network retry time is determined by the setting of the last created task. Because you are charged for the task during the connection retry period, we recommend that you customize the retry time based on your business needs, or release the DTS instance as soon as possible after the source and destination database instances are released.
      Retry Time for Other Issues	After the migration task starts, if a non-connectivity issue, such as a DDL or DML execution exception, occurs in the source or destination database, DTS reports an error and immediately begins to retry the operation. The default retry duration is 10 minutes. You can customize the retry time to a value from 1 to 1440 minutes. We recommend that you set the duration to more than 10 minutes. If the related operations succeed within the specified retry duration, the migration task automatically resumes. Otherwise, the task fails. Important The value of Retry Time for Other Issues must be less than the value of Retry Time for Failed Connections.
      Enable Throttling for Full Data Migration	During full migration, DTS consumes read and write resources on the source and destination databases, which may increase the database load. If required, you can enable throttling for the full migration task. You can set Queries per second (QPS) to the source database, RPS of Full Data Migration, and Data migration speed for full migration (MB/s) to reduce the load on the destination database. Note This configuration item is available only if you select Full Data Migration for Migration Types. You can also adjust the full migration speed after the migration instance is running.
      Environment Tag	You can select an environment tag to identify the instance based on your business requirements. This is not required for this example.
      Configure ETL	Choose whether to enable the extract, transform, and load (ETL) feature. For more information, see What is ETL? Valid values: Yes: Enables the ETL feature. Enter data processing statements in the code editor. For more information, see Configure ETL in a data migration or data synchronization task. No: Disables the ETL feature.
      Monitoring and Alerting	Select whether to set alerts and receive alert notifications based on your business needs. No: Does not set an alert. Yes: Configure alerts by setting an alert threshold and an alert notifications. If a migration fails or the latency exceeds the threshold, the system sends an alert notification.

   3. Optional: After you complete the preceding configurations, click Next: Configure Database and Table Fields to set the Type, Primary Key Column, Distribution Key, and partition key information (Partition Key, Partitioning Rules, and Partition Lifecycle) for the tables in the destination database.

      Note

      • This step is available only if you select Migration Types for the Schema Migration parameter when you configure the objects. You can set the Definition Status to All to modify the fields.

      • You can select multiple columns to form a composite primary key in the Primary Key Column field. You must also select one or more columns from the Primary Key Column as the Distribution Key and Partition Key. For more information, see CREATE TABLE.

6. Save the task and run a precheck.

   • To view the parameters for configuring this instance when you call the API operation, move the pointer over the Next: Save Task Settings and Precheck button and click Preview OpenAPI parameters in the bubble that appears.

   • If you do not need to view or have finished viewing the API parameters, click Next: Save Task Settings and Precheck at the bottom of the page.

   Note

   • Before the migration task starts, DTS performs a precheck. The task starts only after it passes the precheck.

   • If the precheck fails, click View Details next to the failed check item, fix the issue based on the prompt, and then run the precheck again.

   • If a warning is reported during the precheck:

     • For check items that cannot be ignored, click View Details next to the failed item, fix the issue based on the prompt, and then run the precheck again.

     • For check items that can be ignored, you can click Confirm Alert Details, Ignore, OK, and Precheck Again to skip the alert item and run the precheck again. If you choose to ignore a warning, it may cause issues such as data inconsistency and pose risks to your business.

7. Purchase the instance.

   1. When the Success Rate is 100%, click Next: Purchase Instance.

   2. On the Purchase page, select the link specification for the data migration instance. For more information, see the following table.

      Category	Parameter	Description
      New Instance Class	Resource Group Settings	Select the resource group to which the instance belongs. The default value is default resource group. For more information, see What is Resource Management?
      	Instance Class	DTS provides migration specifications with different performance levels. The link specification affects the migration speed. You can select a specification based on your business scenario. For more information, see Data migration link specifications.

   3. After the configuration is complete, read and select Data Transmission Service (Pay-as-you-go) Service Terms.

   4. Click Buy and Start. In the OK dialog box that appears, click OK.

      You can view the progress of the migration task on the Data Migration Tasks list page.

      Note

      • If the migration task does not include incremental migration, it stops automatically after the full migration is complete. After the task stops, its Status changes to Completed.

      • If the migration task includes incremental migration, it does not stop automatically. The incremental migration task continues to run. While the incremental migration task is running, the Status of the task is Running.
