Prepare a PolarDB-X 2.0 environment before data synchronization
Before you use DataWorks to synchronize data from or to a PolarDB-X 2.0 data source, you must prepare a PolarDB-X 2.0 environment. This ensures that a data synchronization task can be configured and can synchronize data from or to the PolarDB-X 2.0 data source as expected. The following information describes how to prepare a PolarDB-X 2.0 environment for data synchronization from or to a PolarDB-X 2.0 data source.
Preparation 1: Check the version of your PolarDB-X database
If the version of your PolarDB-X database is PolarDB-X 1.0, refer to DRDS (PolarDB-X 1.0) data source to prepare an environment. If the version of your PolarDB-X database is PolarDB-X 2.0, refer to this topic to prepare an environment.
Preparation 2: Prepare an account that has the required permissions
We recommend that you plan and create an account for DataWorks to access your PolarDB-X 2.0 database. To prepare such an account, perform the following steps:
Optional. Log on to the PolarDB-X 2.0 console to create an account. If you already have such an account, you can skip this step.
Grant the required permissions to the account.
Batch synchronization:
Batch data read: The account must have the SELECT permission.
Batch data write: The account must have the INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE permissions.
Real-time synchronization of data in a database:
Privileged account: By default, binary log data can be read for real-time synchronization.
Standard account: Use a privileged account to grant the SELECT, REPLICATION SLAVE, and REPLICATION CLIENT permissions on a specific database to the standard account.
-- Create an account that can be used for data synchronization and specify a password. This way, you can use the account and password to access the database from any host. % indicates a host.
-- CREATE USER 'Account for data synchronization'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password'.
-- Grant the SELECT, REPLICATION SLAVE, and REPLICATION CLIENT permissions to the account.
GRANT SELECT, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO 'Account for data synchronization'@'%';
Develop a data synchronization task
For information about the entry point for and the procedure of configuring a data synchronization task, see the following sections. For information about the parameter settings, view the infotip of each parameter on the configuration tab of the task.
Add a data source
Before you configure a data synchronization task to synchronize data from or to a specific data source, you must add the data source to DataWorks. For more information, see Add and manage data sources.
Configure a batch synchronization task to synchronize data of a single table
For more information about the configuration procedure, see Configure a batch synchronization task by using the code editor.
For information about all parameters that are configured and the code that is run when you use the code editor to configure a batch synchronization task, see Appendix: Code and parameters.
Appendix: Code and parameters
Configure a batch synchronization task by using the code editor
If you use the code editor to configure a batch synchronization task, you must configure parameters for the reader and writer of the related data source based on the format requirements in the code editor. For more information about the format requirements, see Configure a batch synchronization task by using the code editor. The following information describes the configuration details of parameters for the reader and writer in the code editor.

Parameters in code for PolarDB-X 2.0 Reader
Parameter | Description | Required | Default value |
datasource | The name of the data source. It must be the same as the name of the data source that you added on the data source management page. | Yes | No default value |
table | The name of the table from which you want to read data. Each synchronization task can be used to synchronize data from only one table. | Yes | No default value |
column | The names of the columns from which you want to read data. Specify the names in a JSON array. The default value is [*], which indicates all columns in the source table.
| Yes | No default value |
splitPk | The field that is used for data sharding when PolarDB-X 2.0 Reader reads data. If you configure this parameter, the source table is sharded based on the value of this parameter. Then, parallel threads are run to read data. This way, data can be synchronized more efficiently.
| No | No default value |
where | The WHERE clause. For example, you can set this parameter to
| No | No default value |
checkSlave | Specifies whether to check the latency of data synchronization between a primary instance and a read-only secondary instance. If you add a PolarDB-X 2.0 read-only instance as a data source, you must check the latency of data synchronization between the read-only instance and a primary instance before you run a data synchronization task. This helps prevent data loss caused by the latency. | No | true |
slaveDelayLimit | The maximum latency of data synchronization between a primary instance and a read-only instance, in seconds. If the latency exceeds the value of this parameter, the data synchronization task fails. This helps prevent data loss caused by the latency. | No | 30 |

Parameters in code for PolarDB-X 2.0 Writer
Parameter | Description | Required | Default value |
datasource | The name of the data source. It must be the same as the name of the data source that you added on the data source management page. | Yes | No default value |
table | The name of the table to which you want to write data. | Yes | No default value |
writeMode | The write mode. Valid values:
| No | insert |
column | The names of the columns to which you want to write data. Separate the names with commas (,), such as "column": ["id", "name", "age"]. If you want to write data to all the columns in the destination table, set this parameter to an asterisk (*), such as "column": ["*"]. | Yes | No default value |
preSql | The SQL statement that you want to execute before the synchronization task is run. You can execute only one SQL statement on the codeless UI and multiple SQL statements in the code editor. For example, you can set this parameter to the following SQL statement to delete outdated data before the synchronization task is run:
Note If you configure multiple SQL statements, the statements are not executed in the same transaction. | No | No default value |
postSql | The SQL statement that you want to execute after the synchronization task is run. You can execute only one SQL statement on the codeless UI and multiple SQL statements in the code editor. For example, you can set this parameter to the following statements to add a timestamp after the synchronization task is run:
Note If you configure multiple SQL statements, the statements are not executed in the same transaction. | No | No default value |
batchSize | The number of data records to write at a time. Set this parameter to an appropriate value based on your business requirements. This greatly reduces the interactions between Data Integration and PolarDB-X 2.0 and increases throughput. If you set this parameter to an excessively large value, an out of memory (OOM) error may occur during data synchronization. | No | 256 |
