Modifying Connection Information

During the synchronization, you may change the password of the source or destination database. As a result, the data synchronization, data comparison, task resuming, resetting, object editing, and stopping may fail. In this case, you need to change the password on the DRS console and resume the task.

You can modify the following synchronization information:

• Source database password
• Destination database password

For tasks whose source database is a MySQL database, DRS also allows you to change the IP address of the source database. If the IP address changes due to some operations on the source database, you can use this function to change the IP address to the correct one.

• After the preceding information is changed, the change takes effect immediately, and the data in the destination database is not cleared.
• The function of changing an IP address applies to the scenario where the IP address of the source database changes. The IP addresses before and after the change must belong to the same data instance. Otherwise, the task may fail or data may be inconsistent.
