Changing Task Parameters

DRS allows you to change task parameters based on service requirements.

Constraints

You can change parameters of a synchronization task in the Configuration, Full, Full synchronization failed, Incremental, Incremental synchronization failed, or Paused state.
After some parameters of a task are changed, the changes take effect only after you restart the task by referring to Restarting a Synchronization Task. In addition, operations for resetting a task, resuming a task, rebuilding a task, performing primary/standby switchover, or changing the flow control in the full synchronization phase will restart task processes for the parameter changes to take effect.
You can change parameters only for the synchronization tasks of the following engines: For details about common task parameters, see Task Parameter Description.
- MySQL->MySQL
- MySQL->PostgreSQL
- MySQL -> GaussDB Distributed
- MySQL -> GaussDB Primary/Standby
- MySQL->GaussDB(DWS)
- MySQL->GaussDB(for MySQL)
- MySQL->Kafka
- MySQL->CSS/ES
- MySQL->Oracle

Procedure

On the Data Synchronization Management page, locate the target synchronization task.
Click the task name. The Basic Information page is displayed.
Choose Parameters on the left pane. On the Parameters tab page, change the parameters of the current synchronization task.

Figure 1 Parameters
Click Save or Cancel.
- To save your changes, click Save. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.
- To cancel your changes, click Cancel. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.
Restart the task for the changes to take effect. You can click Restart in the upper right corner or restart the task by referring to Restarting a Synchronization Task.
In addition, operations for resetting a task, resuming a task, rebuilding a task, performing primary/standby switchover, or changing the flow control in the full synchronization phase will restart task processes for the parameter changes to take effect.
