Data Transmission Service:Overview of data synchronization scenarios

Last Updated:Nov 19, 2024

Data Transmission Service (DTS) allows you to synchronize data between data sources in real time. Typical scenarios include active geo-redundancy, geo-disaster recovery, zone-disaster recovery, cross-border data synchronization, cloud business intelligence (BI) systems, and real-time data warehousing. This topic describes the database types, synchronization types, and synchronization topologies that are supported by the data synchronization feature of DTS.

Note
  • In some scenarios, data synchronization can be used instead of data migration and provide better network stability and additional features. For more information about the differences between data migration and data synchronization, see the What are the differences between data migration and data synchronization? section of the "FAQ" topic.

  • Cross-region data synchronization is not supported if the destination database is a Function Compute function.

  • Whether cross-account data synchronization is supported depends on the type and access method of a database. If cross-account data synchronization is supported, the Replicate Data Across Alibaba Cloud Accounts parameter is displayed when you configure the source and destination databases. If you want to synchronize data across Alibaba Cloud accounts, set this parameter to Yes. For more information, see the Supported databases section of the "Configure a DTS task across Alibaba Cloud accounts" topic.

  • The source or destination database can be a serverless ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance. The destination database can be a serverless ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance. The source or destination database cannot be a serverless ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance.

  • When you create a task to synchronize data to or from a database instance that is created in ApsaraDB MyBase, you can set the Access Method parameter to Alibaba Cloud Instance. Then, DTS can access the database instance as expected. You can configure the data synchronization task by following the instructions described in the corresponding topic. You can find the link to the topic in one of the following tables. For example, the Synchronize data from a self-managed MySQL database to an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance topic describes how to synchronize data from a self-managed MySQL database to an ApsaraDB MyBase for MySQL instance.

Synchronization types

Synchronization type

Description

Schema synchronization

DTS synchronizes the schemas of the selected objects, such as tables, views, triggers, and stored procedures, from the source database to the destination database.

Important

Before you configure a data synchronization task, check whether schema synchronization is supported. If schema synchronization is not supported, you must create a destination database and tables based on the schemas of the selected objects in the source database.

Full data synchronization

DTS synchronizes the historical data of the selected objects from the source database to the destination database. The historical data is the basis for subsequent incremental data synchronization.

To simplify data synchronization, we recommend that you select both Schema Synchronization and Full Data Synchronization when you configure a data synchronization task.

Incremental data synchronization

By default, incremental data synchronization is supported. DTS synchronizes incremental data that is generated in the source database to the destination database in real time.

Synchronization topologies

For more information, see Synchronization topologies.

Data synchronization scenarios

DTS supports the following data synchronization scenarios. You can select one of the following scenarios based on your business requirements to view the supported database versions, synchronization types, and configuration procedures.

Note

Self-managed databases that are described in the following tables, such as a self-managed MySQL or Redis database, can be one of the following types:

  • Self-managed database hosted on an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance

  • Self-managed database connected over Express Connect, VPN Gateway, or Smart Access Gateway

  • Self-managed database without a public IP address or port number (connected over Database Gateway)

    Data synchronization tasks that involve this type of database may be unstable due to factors such as poor quality of Internet connections. We recommend that you use Express Connect or Smart Access Gateway to connect the data center to a virtual private cloud (VPC). This way, DTS can access the self-managed database over Express Connect, VPN Gateway, or Smart Access Gateway. For more information, see Connect a data center to a VPC.

  • Self-managed database connected over Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN)

Synchronize data from a self-managed MySQL database or an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance

Important
  • A database in a PolarDB-X 1.0 instance must be created based on one or more ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances. DTS does not support PolarDB-X 1.0 databases that are created based on PolarDB for MySQL clusters.

  • For a data synchronization task that synchronizes data to a PolarDB-X 1.0 instance, schema synchronization or initial schema synchronization is not supported. Schema synchronization and initial schema synchronization are supported for a data synchronization task that synchronizes data to a PolarDB-X 2.0 instance.

  • A database in a PolarDB-X 2.0 instance must be compatible with MySQL 5.7. We recommend that you update the instance to version 5.4.11 or later. For more information about how to update the version of an instance, see View and update the version of an instance.

Synchronize data from a self-managed Redis database, a Tair instance, or an Tair (Redis OSS-Compatible) instance

Important
  • A Redis database is a NoSQL database and does not require schema synchronization.

  • Two-way data synchronization supports only Tair instances that use local disks, Tair dynamic random access memory (DRAM)-based instances that use cloud disks, and Tair persistent memory-optimized instances that use cloud disks.

  • If the source database is a self-managed Redis database or an Tair (Redis OSS-Compatible) Community Edition instance, full data synchronization and incremental data synchronization are supported and collectively displayed as Incremental Data Synchronization.

Synchronize data from a Db2 for LUW database

Important
  • The Db2 for LUW database is displayed as DB2 for LUW in the console.

  • A destination database in a PolarDB-X 2.0 instance must be compatible with MySQL 5.7. We recommend that you update the instance to version 5.4.11 or later. For more information about how to update the version of an instance, see View and update the version of an instance.
