Use DMS to log on to an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance - ApsaraDB RDS

This topic describes how to log on to an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance by using Data Management (DMS).

Prerequisites

An Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user that has relevant permissions on your RDS instance is prepared. For more information about how to obtain permissions, see Overview.

Background information

DMS offers an integrated solution that supports data management, schema management, server management, user authorization, security audit, trend analysis, data tracking, business intelligence (BI) reporting, and performance analysis and optimization.

Procedure

Go to the Instances page. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which the RDS instance resides. Then, find the RDS instance and click the ID of the instance.
In the upper-right corner of the page that appears, click Log On to Database to go to the DMS console.
In the RDS database logon dialog box, enter the username and password of the account that is used for the logon and click Login.
Note
- The account used for the logon must have permissions on the required database. Otherwise, the required database is not displayed in the left-side navigation pane. For more information about how to modify the permissions of an account, see Modify the permissions of a standard account on an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance.
- For more information about how to create an account, see Create databases and accounts for an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance.
Refresh the page after you log on to the database. In the left-side navigation pane, expand Instances Connected. Then, double-click the name of the RDS instance.
Note
If the RDS instance exists but you cannot find the required database, the metadata may not be synchronized. Move the pointer over the RDS instance to which the required database belongs and click the refresh icon next to the instance name. Then, you can find the required database.

Note

You can directly log on to the DMS console and add your RDS instance to DMS. Then, you can switch to the specified database of your RDS instance in the DMS console. For more information, see Register an ApsaraDB instance.
