Data Transmission Service:Synchronize data from an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance to an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set or sharded cluster instance

更新時間:Aug 23, 2024

Data Transmission Service (DTS) allows you to synchronize data from an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance to an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set or sharded cluster instance. This topic describes how to synchronize data between ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances.

Prerequisites

  • The destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set or sharded cluster instance is created. For more information, see Create a replica set instance or Create a sharded cluster instance.

    Important
    • We recommend that you use a destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance whose available storage space is 10% larger than the total size of the data in the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

    • For more information about the supported instance versions, see Overview of data synchronization scenarios.

  • Endpoints are assigned to the shard nodes in the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance, and the shard nodes share the same account and password. For more information about how to apply for an endpoint, see Apply for an endpoint for a shard node or the ConfigServer node in a sharded cluster instance.

  • In the destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance, databases and collections to be sharded are created, data sharding is configured, the balancer is enabled, and pre-sharding is performed based on your business requirements. For more information, see Configure sharding to maximize the performance of shards and the What do I do if the data of a MongoDB database deployed in the sharded cluster architecture is not evenly distributed? section of the FAQ topic.

    Note
    • After you configure sharding for a sharded cluster instance, the synchronized data is to be distributed among different shards. This maximizes the performance of the sharded cluster. You can also enable the balancer and perform pre-sharding to prevent data skew.

    • In this example, a DTS task is configured before a DTS instance is purchased. You do not need to specify the number of shards in the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance.

      If you purchase a DTS instance before you configure a DTS task, you must specify the number of shards when you purchase the instance.

    Usage notes

    Category

    Description

    Limits on the source and destination databases

    • Bandwidth requirements: The server to which the source database is deployed must have sufficient outbound bandwidth. Otherwise, the data synchronization speed is affected.

    • The collections to be synchronized must have PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints and all fields must be unique. Otherwise, the destination database may contain duplicate data records.

    • If you select collections as the objects to be synchronized and you need to edit collections in the destination database, such as renaming collections, up to 1,000 collections can be synchronized in a single data synchronization task. If you run a task to synchronize more than 1,000 collections, a request error occurs. In this case, we recommend that you configure multiple tasks to synchronize the collections in batches, or configure a task to synchronize the entire database.

    • The operation logging feature must be enabled.

      Note

      The operation logs of the source database must be retained for at least seven days. Otherwise, DTS may fail to obtain the operation logs and the task may fail. In exceptional circumstances, data inconsistency or loss may occur. Make sure that you set the retention period of operation logs based on the preceding requirements. Otherwise, the service level agreement (SLA) of DTS does not guarantee service reliability or performance.

    • During a data synchronization task, MongoDB sharded cluster databases involved in the task cannot be scaled. Otherwise, the task fails.

    • If the source database is a self-managed MongoDB database that uses the sharded cluster architecture, you can set the Access Method parameter only to Express Connect, VPN Gateway, or Smart Access Gateway or Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) when you configure the DTS task.

    • The number of Mongos nodes in the source MongoDB sharded cluster database cannot exceed 10.

    • You cannot synchronize collections that contain time to live (TTL) indexes. If the source database contains TTL indexes, data inconsistency may occur between the source and destination databases after the synchronization.

    • Make sure that no orphaned document exists in the source and destination databases. Otherwise, data inconsistency or even task failure may occur. For more information, see Glossary of MongoDB and How do I delete orphaned documents of a MongoDB database deployed in the sharded cluster architecture?

    • Limits on operations to be performed on the source database:

      • During schema synchronization and full data synchronization, do not change the schemas of the databases or collections. Otherwise, the data synchronization task fails.

      • If you perform only full data synchronization, do not write data to the source database during data synchronization. Otherwise, data inconsistency occurs between the source and destination databases.

    Other limits

    • Before you start the data synchronization task, you must add sharding keys to the data to be synchronized in the source database. During the data synchronization, if you execute the INSERT statement to insert data into the data to be synchronized, the data to be synchronized must contain sharding keys. If you execute the UPDATE statement to modify the data to be synchronized, you cannot modify sharding keys.

    • To ensure compatibility, the version of the destination MongoDB database must be the same as or later than the version of the source MongoDB database. If the version of the destination database is earlier than that of the source database, database compatibility issues may occur.

    • DTS cannot synchronize data from the admin or local database.

    • Transaction information is not retained. When transactions are synchronized to the destination database, transactions are converted into a single record.

    • Before you synchronize data, evaluate the impact of data synchronization on the performance of the source and destination databases. We recommend that you synchronize data during off-peak hours. During full data synchronization, DTS uses read and write resources of the source and destination databases. This may increase the loads on the database servers.

    • During full data synchronization, concurrent INSERT operations cause fragmentation in the collections of the destination database. After full data synchronization is complete, the storage space for collections of the destination database is larger than that of the source database.

    • If a collection of the destination database has a unique index or the capped attribute of a collection of the destination database is true, the collection supports only single-thread data writing and does not support concurrent replay during incremental data synchronization. This may increase synchronization latency.

    • The data is concurrently written to the destination database. Therefore, the storage space occupied in the destination database is 5% to 10% larger than the size of the data in the source database.

    • You must use the db.$table_name.aggregate([{ $count:"myCount"}]) syntax to query the return value of a count operation on the destination MongoDB database.

    • Make sure that the destination MongoDB database does not have the same primary key as the source database. The default primary key is _id. Otherwise, data may be lost. If the data in the destination database has the same primary key as that in the source database, clear the related data in the destination database without interrupting the services of DTS. For example, if the same primary key is _id, you can delete the data in the destination database that has the same _id as the source database.

    • Make sure that the MongoDB balancer of the source database is disabled during full data synchronization. Do not enable the balancer until all full data synchronization is complete and incremental data synchronization starts. Otherwise, data inconsistency may occur. For more information about the MongoDB balancer, see Manage the ApsaraDB for MongoDB balancer.

    • If data sharding is configured for the destination instance and you do not need to use the schema synchronization feature of DTS, do not select Schema Synchronization as one of the Synchronization Types in the Configure Objects and Advanced Settings step. Otherwise, data inconsistency may occur or the task may fail due to shard conflicts.

    Supported one-way data synchronization topologies

    DTS supports one-way data synchronization between only two ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instances. DTS does not support one-way data synchronization among multiple ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances.

    Synchronization types

    Synchronization Types

    Description

    Schema synchronization

    DTS synchronizes the schemas of the selected objects from the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance to the destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

    Full data synchronization

    DTS synchronizes the historical data of the selected objects from the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance to the destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

    Note

    DTS supports full data synchronization for databases and collections.

    Incremental data synchronization

    DTS synchronizes incremental data from the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance to the destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

    Note

    DTS synchronizes incremental data generated by the following operations:

    • CREATE COLLECTION and CREATE INDEX

    • DROP COLLECTION and DROP INDEX

    • RENAME COLLECTION

    • The operations that are performed to insert, update, and delete documents in a collection.

    Delete orphaned documents

    Before you synchronize data, you must delete the orphaned documents from the source MongoDB database.

    Important

    If you do not delete the orphaned documents, the synchronization performance is compromised. In addition, some documents may have duplicate _id values and the data that you do not want to synchronize may be synchronized.

    ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances

    Note

    An error occurs if a cleanup script is executed to delete orphaned documents from an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance whose major version is earlier than 4.2 or an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance whose minor version is earlier than 4.0.6. For information about how to view the current version of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance, see Release notes for the minor versions of ApsaraDB for MongoDB. For information about how to update the minor version or major version of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance, see Upgrade the major version of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance and Update the minor version of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

    The cleanupOrphaned command is required to delete orphaned documents. The method of running this command varies based on the version of the MongoDB database.

    MongoDB 4.4 and later

    1. Create a JavaScript script file named cleanupOrphaned.js on a server that can connect to the sharded cluster instance.

      Note

      This script is used to delete orphaned documents from all collections in multiple databases in multiple shards. If you want to delete orphaned documents from a specific collection, you can modify some of the parameters in the script file.

      // The names of shards.
      var shardNames = ["shardName1", "shardName2"];
      // The databases from which you want to delete orphaned documents.
      var databasesToProcess = ["database1", "database2", "database3"];
      
      shardNames.forEach(function(shardName) {
          // Traverse the specified databases.
          databasesToProcess.forEach(function(dbName) {
              var dbInstance = db.getSiblingDB(dbName);
              // Obtain the names of all collections of the specified databases.
              var collectionNames = dbInstance.getCollectionNames();
              
              // Traverse all collections.
              collectionNames.forEach(function(collectionName) {
                  // The complete collection name.
                  var fullCollectionName = dbName + "." + collectionName;
                  // Build the cleanupOrphaned command.
                  var command = {
                      runCommandOnShard: shardName,
                      command: { cleanupOrphaned: fullCollectionName }
                  };
      
                  // Run the cleanupOrphaned command.
                  var result = db.adminCommand(command); 
                  if (result.ok) {
                      print("Cleaned up orphaned documents for collection " + fullCollectionName + " on shard " + shardName);
                      printjson(result);
                  } else {
                      print("Failed to clean up orphaned documents for collection " + fullCollectionName + " on shard " + shardName);
                  }
              });
          });
      });

      You must modify the shardNames and databasesToProcess parameters in the script file. The following content describes the two parameters:

      • shardNames: the IDs of the shards from which you want to delete orphaned documents. You can view the IDs in the Shard List section on the Basic Information page of the sharded cluster instance. Example: d-bp15a3796d3a****.

      • databasesToProcess: the names of the databases from which you want to delete orphaned documents.

    2. Run the following command in the directory in which the cleanupOrphaned.js script file is stored:

      mongo --host <Mongoshost> --port <Primaryport>  --authenticationDatabase <database> -u <username> -p <password> cleanupOrphaned.js > output.txt

      The following table describes the parameters that you can configure.

      Parameter

      Description

      <Mongoshost>

      The endpoint of the mongos node of the sharded cluster instance. Format: s-bp14423a2a51****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com.

      <Primaryport>

      The port number of the mongos node of the sharded cluster instance. Default value: 3717.

      The name of the database to which the database account belongs.

      <username>

      The database account.

      <password>

      The password of the database account.

      output.txt

      The output.txt file that is used to store execution results.

    MongoDB 4.2 and earlier

    1. Create a JavaScript script file named cleanupOrphaned.js on a server that can connect to the sharded cluster instance.

      Note

      This script is used to delete orphaned documents from a specific collection in a database in multiple shards. If you want to delete orphaned documents from multiple collections, you can modify the fullCollectionName parameter in the script file and run the script multiple times. Alternatively, you can modify the script file to traverse all collections.

      function cleanupOrphanedOnShard(shardName, fullCollectionName) {
          var nextKey = { };
          var result;
      
          while ( nextKey != null ) {
              var command = {
                  runCommandOnShard: shardName,
                  command: { cleanupOrphaned: fullCollectionName, startingFromKey: nextKey }
              };
      
              result = db.adminCommand(command);
              printjson(result);
      
              if (result.ok != 1 || !(result.results.hasOwnProperty(shardName)) || result.results[shardName].ok != 1 ) {
                  print("Unable to complete at this time: failure or timeout.")
                  break
              }
      
              nextKey = result.results[shardName].stoppedAtKey;
          }
      
          print("cleanupOrphaned done for coll: " + fullCollectionName + " on shard: " + shardName)
      }
      
      var shardNames = ["shardName1", "shardName2", "shardName3"]
      var fullCollectionName = "database.collection"
      
      shardNames.forEach(function(shardName) {
          cleanupOrphanedOnShard(shardName, fullCollectionName);
      });

      You must modify the shardNames and fullCollectionName parameters in the script file. The following content describes the two parameters:

      • shardNames: the IDs of the shards from which you want to delete orphaned documents. You can view the IDs in the Shard List section on the Basic Information page of the sharded cluster instance. Example: d-bp15a3796d3a****.

      • fullCollectionName: You must replace this parameter with the name of the collection from which you want to delete orphaned documents. Format: database name.collection name.

    2. Run the following command in the directory in which the cleanupOrphaned.js script file is stored:

      mongo --host <Mongoshost> --port <Primaryport>  --authenticationDatabase <database> -u <username> -p <password> cleanupOrphaned.js > output.txt

      The following table describes the parameters that you can configure.

      Parameter

      Description

      <Mongoshost>

      The endpoint of the mongos node of the sharded cluster instance. Format: s-bp14423a2a51****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com.

      <Primaryport>

      The port number of the mongos node of the sharded cluster instance. Default value: 3717.

      <database>

      The name of the database to which the database account belongs.

      <username>

      The database account.

      <password>

      The password of the database account.

      output.txt

      The output.txt file that is used to store execution results.

    Self-managed MongoDB databases

    1. Download the cleanupOrphaned.js script file on a server that can connect to the self-managed MongoDB database.

      wget "https://docs-aliyun.cn-hangzhou.oss.aliyun-inc.com/assets/attach/120562/cn_zh/1564451237979/cleanupOrphaned.js"
    2. Replace test in the cleanupOrphaned.js file with the name of the database from which you want to delete orphaned documents.

      Important

      If you want to delete orphaned documents from multiple databases, repeat Step 2 and Step 3.

    3. Run the following command on a shard to delete the orphaned documents from all collections in the specified database:

      Note

      You must repeat this step for each shard.

      mongo --host <Shardhost> --port <Primaryport>  --authenticationDatabase <database> -u <username> -p <password> cleanupOrphaned.js
      Note
      • <Shardhost>: the IP address of the shard.

      • <Primaryport>: the service port of the primary node in the shard.

      • <database>: the name of the database to which the database account belongs.

      • <username>: the account that is used to log on to the self-managed MongoDB database.

      • <password>: the password that is used to log on to the self-managed MongoDB database.

      Example:

      In this example, a self-managed MongoDB database has three shards, and you must delete the orphaned documents from each shard.

      mongo --host 172.16.1.10 --port 27018  --authenticationDatabase admin -u dtstest -p 'Test123456' cleanupOrphaned.js
      mongo --host 172.16.1.11 --port 27021 --authenticationDatabase admin -u dtstest -p 'Test123456' cleanupOrphaned.js
      mongo --host 172.16.1.12 --port 27024  --authenticationDatabase admin -u dtstest -p 'Test123456' cleanupOrphaned.js

    Procedure

    Important

    In this example, a DTS task is configured before a DTS instance is purchased. You do not need to specify the number of shards in the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance.

    If you purchase a DTS instance before you configure a DTS task, you must specify the number of shards when you purchase the instance.

    1. Go to the Data Synchronization Tasks page.

      1. Log on to the Data Management (DMS) console.

      2. In the top navigation bar, click DTS.

      3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose DTS (DTS) > Data Synchronization.

      Note
    2. On the right side of Data Synchronization Tasks, select the region in which the data synchronization instance resides.

      Note

      If you use the new DTS console, you must select the region in which the data synchronization instance resides in the top navigation bar.

    3. Click Create Task. On the page that appears, configure the source and destination instances.

      Section

      Parameter

      Description

      Database Password

      The password that is used to access the database instance.

      Shard account

      The account that is used to access the shard nodes in the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

      Note

      If the source database is a self-managed MongoDB database, you must specify the information that is used to access the shards.

      Shard password

      The password that is used to access the shard nodes in the source ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

      Destination Database

      Select an existing DMS database instance. (Optional. If you have not registered a DMS database instance, ignore this option and configure database settings in the section below.)

      The database instance that you want to use. You can choose whether to use an existing instance based on your business requirements.

      • If you select an existing instance, DTS automatically populates the parameters for the database.

      • If you do not select an existing instance, you must manually configure parameters for the database.

      Database Type

      The ID of the destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

      Authentication Database

      The name of the authentication database that stores the database accounts and passwords of the destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance. If you did not change the name of the authentication database before, the default value admin is used.

      Database Account

      The database account of the destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance. The account must have the dbAdminAnyDatabase permission, the read and write permissions on the destination database, and the read permissions on the local database.

      Database Password

      The password that is used to access the database instance.

      Encryption

      Specifies whether to encrypt the connection to the destination database. Select Non-encrypted or SSL-encrypted based on your business requirements.

      Note
      • This parameter is valid only if the destination ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance is deployed in the Replica Set architecture.

      • If the destination database is a self-managed ApsaraDB for MongoDB Replica Set instance and Encryption is set to SSL-encrypted, you can upload a CA certificate to verify the connection to the destination database.

    4. In the lower part of the page, click Test Connectivity and Proceed.

      If the source or destination database is an Alibaba Cloud database instance, such as an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL or ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance, DTS automatically adds the CIDR blocks of DTS servers to the whitelist of the instance. If the source or destination database is a self-managed database hosted on an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance, DTS automatically adds the CIDR blocks of DTS servers to the security group rules of the ECS instance, and you must ensure that the ECS instance can access the database. If the source or destination database is a self-managed database that is deployed in a data center or provided by a third-party cloud service provider, you must manually add the CIDR blocks of DTS servers to the whitelist of the database to allow DTS to access the database. For more information, see Add the CIDR blocks of DTS servers.

      Warning

      If the CIDR blocks of DTS servers are automatically or manually added to the whitelist of the database or instance, or to the ECS security group rules, security risks may arise. Therefore, before you use DTS to synchronize data, you must understand and acknowledge the potential risks and take preventive measures, including but not limited to the following measures: enhancing the security of your username and password, limiting the ports that are exposed, authenticating API calls, regularly checking the whitelist or ECS security group rules and forbidding unauthorized CIDR blocks, or connecting the database to DTS by using Express Connect, VPN Gateway, or Smart Access Gateway.

    5. Configure the objects to be synchronized and the advanced settings.

      Parameter

      Description

      Synchronization Types

      The synchronization types. By default, Incremental Data Synchronization is selected. You must also select Schema Synchronization and Full Data Synchronization. After the precheck is complete, DTS synchronizes the historical data of the selected objects from the source database to the destination cluster. The historical data is the basis for subsequent incremental synchronization.

      Synchronization Topology

      The synchronization topology of the data synchronization task. Select One-way Synchronization.

      Processing Mode of Conflicting Tables

      • Precheck and Report Errors: checks whether the destination database contains collections that have the same names as the collections in the source database. If the source and destination databases do not contain collections that have identical collection names, the precheck is passed. Otherwise, an error is returned during the precheck, and the data synchronization task cannot be started.

        Note

        If the source and destination databases have collections with identical names and the collections in the destination database cannot be deleted or renamed, you can use the object name mapping feature to rename the collections that are synchronized to the destination database. For more information, see Rename an object to be synchronized.

      • Ignore Errors and Proceed: skips the precheck for identical collection names in the source and destination databases.

        Warning

        If you select Ignore Errors and Proceed, data inconsistency may occur and your business may be exposed to potential risks.

        • If a data record in the destination database has the same primary key value or unique key value as a data record in the source database, DTS does not synchronize the data record to the destination database. The existing data record in the destination database is retained.

        • Data may fail to be initialized, only specific columns are synchronized, or the data synchronization task fails.

      Capitalization of Object Names in Destination Instance

      The capitalization of database names, table names, and column names in the destination instance. By default, DTS default policy is selected. You can select other options to ensure that the capitalization of object names is consistent with that in the source or destination database. For more information, see Specify the capitalization of object names in the destination instance.

      Source Objects

      Select one or more objects from the Source Objects section and click the 向右 icon to add the objects to the Selected Objects section.

      Note

      You can select databases or collections as the objects to be synchronized.

      Selected Objects

      • To rename an object that you want to synchronize to the destination instance, right-click the object in the Selected Objects section. For more information, see the Map the name of a single object section of the Map object names topic.

      • To rename multiple objects at a time, click Batch Edit in the upper-right corner of the Selected Objects section. For more information, see the Map multiple object names at a time section of the Map object names topic.

    6. Click Next: Advanced Settings to configure advanced settings.

      • Data Verification Settings

        For more information about how to configure data verification, see Configure data verification.

        By default, DTS schedules tasks to shared clusters. You do not need to configure this parameter. If you want to improve the stability of data migration tasks, purchase a dedicated cluster. For more information, see What is a DTS dedicated cluster.

        Retry Time for Failed Connections

        The retry time range for failed connections. If the source or destination database fails to be connected after the data synchronization task is started, DTS immediately retries a connection within the time range. Valid values: 10 to 1440. Unit: minutes. Default value: 720. We recommend that you set this parameter to a value greater than 30. If DTS reconnects to the source and destination databases within the specified time range, DTS resumes the data synchronization task. Otherwise, the data synchronization task fails.

        Note
        • If you specify different retry time ranges for multiple data synchronization tasks that have the same source or destination database, the shortest retry time range takes precedence.

        • When DTS retries a connection, you are charged for the DTS instance. We recommend that you specify the retry time range based on your business requirements. You can also release the DTS instance at your earliest opportunity after the source and destination instances are released.

        Retry Time for Other Issues

        The retry time range for other issues. For example, if the DDL or DML operations fail to be performed after the data synchronization task is started, DTS immediately retries the operations within the time range. Valid values: 1 to 1440. Unit: minutes. Default value: 10. We recommend that you set this parameter to a value greater than 10. If the failed operations are successfully performed within the specified time range, DTS resumes the data synchronization task. Otherwise, the data synchronization task fails.

        Important

        The value of the Retry Time for Other Issues parameter must be smaller than the value of the Retry Time for Failed Connections parameter.

        Enable Throttling for Full Data Migration

        During full data synchronization, DTS uses the read and write resources of the source and destination databases. This may increase the load on the database servers. You can configure the Queries per second (QPS) to the source database, RPS of Full Data Migration, and Data migration speed for full migration (MB/s) parameters for full data synchronization tasks to reduce the load on the destination database server.

        Note

        This parameter is displayed only if Full Data Synchronization is selected for the Synchronization Types parameter.

        Enable Throttling for Incremental Data Synchronization

        Specifies whether to enable throttling for incremental data synchronization. You can enable throttling for incremental data synchronization based on your business requirements. To configure throttling, you must configure the RPS of Incremental Data Synchronization and Data synchronization speed for incremental synchronization (MB/s) parameters. This reduces the load on the destination database server.

        Environment Tag

        The environment tag that is used to identify the DTS instance. You can select an environment tag based on your business requirements. In this example, you do not need to configure this parameter.

        Configure ETL

        Specifies whether to enable the extract, transform, and load (ETL) feature. For more information, see What is ETL? Valid values:

        Monitoring and Alerting

        Specifies whether to configure alerting for the data synchronization task. If the task fails or the synchronization latency exceeds the specified threshold, alert contacts will receive notifications. Valid values:

    7. Save the task settings and run a precheck.

      • To view the parameters to be specified when you call the relevant API operation to configure the DTS task, move the pointer over Next: Save Task Settings and Precheck and click Preview OpenAPI parameters.

      • If you do not need to view or have viewed the parameters, click Next: Save Task Settings and Precheck in the lower part of the page.

      Note
      • Before you can start the data synchronization task, DTS performs a precheck. You can start the data synchronization task only after the task passes the precheck.

      • If the data synchronization task fails the precheck, click View Details next to each failed item. After you analyze the causes based on the check results, troubleshoot the issues. Then, rerun the precheck.

      • If an alert is triggered for an item during the precheck:

        • If an alert item cannot be ignored, click View Details next to the failed item and troubleshoot the issue. Then, run a precheck again.

        • If an alert item can be ignored, click Confirm Alert Details. In the View Details dialog box, click Ignore. In the message that appears, click OK. Then, click Precheck Again to run a precheck again. If you ignore the alert item, data inconsistency may occur, and your business may be exposed to potential risks.

    8. Wait until the Success Rate becomes 100%. Then, click Next: Purchase Instance.

    9. On the buy page, configure the Billing Method and Instance Class parameters for the data synchronization instance. The following table describes the parameters.

      Section

      Parameter

      Description

      New Instance Class

      Billing Method

      • Subscription: You pay for a subscription when you create a data synchronization instance. The subscription billing method is more cost-effective than the pay-as-you-go billing method for long-term use.

      • Pay-as-you-go: A pay-as-you-go instance is billed on an hourly basis. The pay-as-you-go billing method is suitable for short-term use. If you no longer require a pay-as-you-go data synchronization instance, you can release the instance to reduce costs.

      Resource Group Settings

      The resource group to which the data synchronization instance belongs. Default value: default resource group. For more information, see What is Resource Management?

      Instance Class

      DTS provides instance classes that vary in synchronization speed. You can select an instance class based on your business requirements. For more information, see Instance classes of data synchronization instances.

      Subscription Duration

      If you select the subscription billing method, specify the subscription duration and the number of data synchronization instances that you want to create. The subscription duration can be one to nine months, one year, two years, three years, or five years.

      Note

      This parameter is available only if you select the Subscription billing method.

    10. Read and select the Data Transmission Service (Pay-as-you-go) Service Terms.

    11. Click Buy and Start. In the dialog box that appears, click OK.

      You can view the progress of the task in the task list.
