Resetting a DTS instance clears its configuration and returns it to the Not Configured state so you can reconfigure it. This applies to data synchronization instances and change tracking instances.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
Completed the Advanced Settings step during instance configuration
An instance listed on the Data Synchronization Tasks or Change Tracking Tasks page
For setup references, see Overview of data synchronization scenarios and Overview of change tracking scenarios.
Usage notes
Pay-as-you-go instances continue to incur charges after reset.
Resetting an instance clears its configuration, including source and destination database credentials, selected objects to synchronize, and alert settings. Data in the source and destination databases is not affected.
Instances in the Prechecking, Locking, or Starting state cannot be reset.
Reset an instance
The following steps use a data synchronization instance as an example.
Go to the Data Synchronization Tasks page.
Log on to the Data Management (DMS) console.
In the top navigation bar, click Data + AI.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose DTS (DTS) > Data Synchronization.
Operations may vary based on the mode and layout of the DMS console. For more information, see Simple mode and Customize the layout and style of the DMS console. Alternatively, go directly to the Data Synchronization Tasks page of the new DTS console.
On the right side of Data Synchronization Tasks, select the region where the instance resides.
In the new DTS console, select the region in the top navigation bar instead.
Find the instance, click the
icon in the Actions column, and select Reconfigure Task.In the Note message, review the usage notes and click OK.
The instance enters the Not Configured state and is ready to be reconfigured.
What's next
After reset, reconfigure the instance. For available configuration options, see Overview of data synchronization scenarios and Overview of change tracking scenarios.
For the corresponding API operation, see ResetDtsJob.
FAQ
Does resetting an instance delete data in the source or destination database?
No. Resetting only clears the instance configuration — credentials, selected sync objects, and alert settings. Data in both databases remains intact.
Can I reset a data migration instance?
No. Only data synchronization instances and change tracking instances support reset.
Can I reset multiple instances at once?
No. Reset one instance at a time.
