In the left-side navigation pane, choose Data Transmission > Data Source Management.
On the Data Sources page, click New Data Source in the upper-right corner.
In the Create Data Source dialog box, select MySQL for Data Source Type.
Configure the following parameters. Select an instance type from the Instance Type drop-down list. The corresponding configuration section automatically appears.

The data transmission service allows you to configure a data migration or synchronization project between instances under different Alibaba Cloud accounts to migrate or synchronize data across Alibaba Cloud accounts.
You can choose whether to select this option based on business needs. If you select this option, enter the Alibaba Cloud account of the destination instance. If you do not have permissions on this Alibaba Cloud account, request for authorization first. For more information, see Apply for cross-account authorization.

We recommend that you create a dedicated database user for the migration or synchronization project.
