Querying Information about Available Links

Function

This API is used to query information about available links.

Constraints

  • This API is available only for migration and synchronization from MySQL to MySQL, migration from Redis to GeminiDB Redis, migration from Redis Cluster to GeminiDB Redis, and synchronization from Oracle to GaussDB Distributed.
  • This API can be used only in certain regions. For details, see Endpoints.

Authorization Information

Each account has all the permissions required to call all APIs, but IAM users must be assigned the required permissions.

  • If you are using role/policy-based authorization, see Permissions and Supported Actions for details on the required permissions.
  • If you are using identity policy-based authorization, no identity policy-based permissions are required for calling this API.
