Managing Jobs

After creating a cluster instance, you can customize a job, enable a job, and migrate data.

You can create jobs to migrate data or automatically create tables.

  • Data migration: Data is migrated from Kafka to GaussDB(DWS).
  • Automatic table creation: Tables and fields in the source database are synchronized to GaussDB(DWS), but data is not migrated.

Creating a Job

  1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Data Migration > Instances.
  3. In the instance list, locate the row that contains the target instance and click Job Management in the Operation column. The Job Management page is displayed.
  4. Click Data Migration or Create Table. (By default, the Kafka Connection parameter cannot be configured if you click Create Table.)

  5. Enter the job name, configure Kafka Connection, DWS Cluster Connection, and Customized Table/Field Mapping, and click Test Connection.
  6. Check to ensure the connection passes the test, and click Next.
  7. Click Next and confirm the settings.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Return to the job list. In the Operation column of the job, click Start. For details, see Starting a Job.
