   Note

   Make sure that the CIDR blocks of DTS servers can be 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 the CIDR blocks of DTS servers.

5. Configure the objects to be migrated.

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

      Parameter	Description
      Migration Types	By default, Schema Migration and Full Data Migration are selected. Note In this scenario, DTS does not support incremental data migration. To ensure data consistency, we recommend that you do not write data to the source database during data migration. The schema of and data in the table that is created by executing the CREATE TABLE statement can be migrated to the destination database.
      Processing Mode of Conflicting Tables	Precheck and Report Errors: checks whether the destination database contains tables that use the same names as tables in the source database. If the source and destination databases do not contain tables that have identical table names, the precheck is passed. Otherwise, an error is returned during the precheck and the data migration task cannot be started. Note If the source and destination databases contain tables with identical names and the tables in the destination database cannot be deleted or renamed, you can use the object name mapping feature to rename the tables that are migrated to the destination database. For more information, see Database, table, and column name mapping. Ignore Errors and Proceed: skips the precheck for identical table names in the source and destination databases. Warning If you select Ignore Errors and Proceed, data inconsistency may occur and your business may be exposed to the following potential risks: If the source and destination databases have the same schema, and a data record has the same primary key as an existing data record in the destination database, the following scenarios may occur: During full data migration, DTS does not migrate the data record to the destination database. The existing data record in the destination database is retained. During incremental data migration, DTS migrates the data record to the destination database. The existing data record in the destination database is overwritten. If the source and destination databases have different schemas, only specific columns are migrated or the data migration task fails. Proceed with caution.
      Merge Tables	Yes: If you select this value, DTS adds the __dts_data_source column to each table to record data sources. For more information, see Enable the multi-table merging feature. No: This is the default value. Note If you set this parameter to Yes, all of the selected source tables in the task are merged into a destination table. If you do not need to merge specific source tables, you can create a separate data migration task for these tables. Warning We recommend that you do not perform DDL operations to change the schemas of source databases or tables. Otherwise, data inconsistency may occur or the data migration task may fail.
      Capitalization of Object Names in Destination Instance	The capitalization of database names, table names, and column names in the destination instance. By default, DTS default policy is selected. You can select other options to make sure that the capitalization of object names is consistent with that of the source or destination database. For more information, see Specify the capitalization of object names in the destination instance.
      Source Objects	Select one or more objects from the Source Objects section. Click the icon to add the objects to the Selected Objects section. Note You can select tables or databases as the objects to be migrated. If you select tables as the objects to be migrated, DTS does not migrate other objects such as views, triggers, and stored procedures to the destination database. If you select a database as the object to be migrated, DTS migrates data based on the following default rules: If the table to be migrated in the source database has a primary key, such as a single-column primary key or a composite primary key, the primary key columns are specified as the distribution keys. If the table to be migrated in the source database does not have a primary key, an auto-increment primary key column is automatically generated in the destination table. This may cause data inconsistency between the source and destination databases.
      Selected Objects	To rename a single object in the destination instance, right-click the object in the Selected Objects section. For more information, see Rename objects to be migrated. To rename multiple objects in the destination instance, click Edit in the upper-right corner of the Selected Objects section. For more information, see Rename multiple objects to be migrated at a time. Note If you use the object name mapping feature to rename an object, other objects that are dependent on the object may fail to be migrated. To specify WHERE conditions to filter data, right-click an object in the Selected Objects section. In the dialog box that appears, specify the conditions. For more information, see Specify filter conditions.

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

      Parameter	Description
      Dedicated Cluster for Task Scheduling	By default, DTS schedules the data migration task to the shared cluster if you do not specify a dedicated cluster. If you want to improve the stability of data migration tasks, purchase a dedicated cluster. For more information, see What is a DTS dedicated cluster.
      Retry Time for Failed Connections	The retry time range for failed connections. If the source or destination database fails to be connected after the data migration task is started, DTS immediately retries a connection within the retry time range. Valid values: 10 to 1,440. Unit: minutes. Default value: 720. We recommend that you set the parameter to a value greater than 30. If DTS is reconnected to the source and destination databases within the specified retry time range, DTS resumes the data migration task. Otherwise, the data migration task fails. Note If you specify different retry time ranges for multiple data migration tasks that share the same source or destination database, the value that is specified later takes precedence. When DTS retries a connection, you are charged for the DTS instance. We recommend that you specify the retry time range based on your business requirements. You can also release the DTS instance at the earliest opportunity after the source database and destination instance are released.
      Retry Time for Other Issues	The retry time range for other issues. For example, if DDL or DML operations fail to be performed after the data migration task is started, DTS immediately retries the operations within the retry time range. Valid values: 1 to 1440. Unit: minutes. Default value: 10. We recommend that you set the parameter to a value greater than 10. If the failed operations are successfully performed within the specified retry time range, DTS resumes the data migration task. Otherwise, the data migration task fails. Important The value of the Retry Time for Other Issues parameter must be smaller than the value of the Retry Time for Failed Connections parameter.
      Enable Throttling for Full Data Migration	Specifies whether to enable throttling for full data migration. During full data migration, DTS uses the read and write resources of the source and destination databases. This may increase the loads of the database servers. You can enable throttling for full data migration based on your business requirements. To configure throttling, you must configure the Queries per second (QPS) to the source database, RPS of Full Data Migration, and Data migration speed for full migration (MB/s) parameters. This reduces the loads of the destination database server. Note You can configure this parameter only if you select Full Data Migration for the Migration Types parameter.
      Environment Tag	The environment tag that is used to identify the DTS instance. You can select an environment tag based on your business requirements. In this example, you do not need to select an environment tag.
      Configure ETL	Specifies whether to enable the extract, transform, and load (ETL) feature. For more information, see What is ETL? Valid values: Yes: configures the ETL feature. You can enter data processing statements in the code editor. For more information, see Configure ETL in a data migration or data synchronization task. No: does not configure the ETL feature.
      Monitoring and Alerting	Specifies whether to configure alerting for the data migration task. If the task fails or the migration latency exceeds the specified threshold, the alert contacts receive notifications. Valid values: No: does not configure alerting. Yes: configures alerting. In this case, you must also configure the alert threshold and alert notification settings. For more information, see the Configure monitoring and alerting when you create a DTS task section of the Configure monitoring and alerting topic.

   3. Optional. After you complete the preceding configuration, click Next: Configure Database and Table Fields and configure the Type, Primary Key Column, Distribution Key, and partition key parameters such as Partition Key, Partitioning Rules, and Partition Lifecycle for the corresponding tables in the destination database.

      Note

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

      • In the Primary Key Column field, you can specify multiple columns to form a composite primary key. In this case, you must specify one or more primary key columns as the Distribution Key and Partition Key. For more information, see CREATE TABLE.

6. Save the task settings and run a precheck.

   • To view the parameters to be specified when you call the relevant API operation to configure the DTS task, move the pointer over Next: Save Task Settings and Precheck and click Preview OpenAPI parameters.

   • If you do not need to view or have viewed the parameters, click Next: Save Task Settings and Precheck in the lower part of the page.

   Note

   • Before you can start the data migration task, DTS performs a precheck. You can start the data migration task only after the task passes the precheck.

   • If the task fails to pass the precheck, click View Details next to each failed item. After you analyze the causes based on the check results, troubleshoot the issues. Then, run a precheck again.

   • If an alert is triggered for an item during the precheck:

     • If an alert item cannot be ignored, click View Details next to the failed item and troubleshoot the issues. Then, run a precheck again.

     • If the alert item can be ignored, click Confirm Alert Details. In the View Details dialog box, click Ignore. In the message that appears, click OK. Then, click Precheck Again to run a precheck again. If you ignore the alert item, data inconsistency may occur, and your business may be exposed to potential risks.

7. Purchase a data migration instance.

   1. Wait until Success Rate becomes 100%. Then, click Next: Purchase Instance.

   2. On the Purchase Instance page, configure the Instance Class parameter for the data migration instance. The following table describes the parameters.

      Section	Parameter	Description
      New Instance Class	Resource Group	The resource group to which the data migration instance belongs. Default value: default resource group. For more information, see What is Resource Management?
      	Instance Class	DTS provides instance classes that vary in the migration speed. You can select an instance class based on your business scenario. For more information, see Instance classes of data migration instances.

   3. Read and agree to Data Transmission Service (Pay-as-you-go) Service Terms by selecting the check box.

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

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

      Note

      • If a data migration task cannot be used to migrate incremental data, the task automatically stops. The Completed is displayed in the Status section.

      • If a data migration task can be used to migrate incremental data, the task does not automatically stop. The incremental data migration task never stops or completes. The Running is displayed in the Status section.
