When Can I Stop a Migration Task?
You can refer to the following methods to check whether the task can be stopped. Before stopping the task, ensure that:
- At least one complete data comparison is performed during off-peak hours.
- Service cutover is completed.
- Interrupt services first. If the workload is not heavy, you may do not need to interrupt the services.
- Run the following statement on the source database (MySQL is used as an example) and check whether there are statements executed by new sessions within 1 to 5 minutes. If not, the service is stopped.show processlist;Note
The process list queried by the preceding statement includes the connection of the DRS replication instance. If no additional session executes SQL statements, the service has been stopped.
- When the real-time synchronization delay is 0s and remains stable for a period, you can perform a data-level comparison between the source and destination databases. For details about the time required, refer to the comparison results of the previous comparison.
- If there is enough time, compare all objects.
- If there is not enough time, use the data-level comparison to compare the tables that are frequently used and that contain key business data or inconsistent data.
- Determine a proper time to cut the services over to the destination database. Then, services can be used externally again.
- Stopping a task only deletes the replication instance, and the migration task is still in the task list. You can choose whether to delete the task.
