Impacts and suggestions
Scenario | Impact of discontinuation | Suggestion |
Use Database Gateway to connect databases to DTS, DBS, or DMS and manage the databases by using the features of DTS, DBS, or DMS. | The databases that are connected to DTS, DBS, or DMS by using Database Gateway are not affected. |

Use the database access point feature of Database Gateway to access third-party cloud databases. | If you have purchased a database gateway, your business is not affected until Database Gateway is discontinued. | We recommend that you switch to a VPN gateway, Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN), or Express Connect circuit that can replace a database gateway at the earliest opportunity.
