From Oracle to DDM

Supported Source and Destination Databases

Table 1 Supported databases

Source DB

Destination DB
  • On-premises databases (Oracle 10g, 11g, 12c, 18c, 19c, and 21c)
  • Self-built databases on ECS (Oracle 10g, 11g, 12c, 18c, 19c, and 21c)

DDM instances

Database Account Permission Requirements

To start a synchronization task, the source and destination database users must meet the requirements in the following table. Different types of synchronization tasks require different permissions. For details, see Table 2. DRS automatically checks the database account permissions in the pre-check phase and provides handling suggestions.

Table 2 Database account permissions

Type

Full Synchronization

Full+Incremental Synchronization

Source database user
  • To synchronize a pluggable database (PDB) of Oracle 12c or later in tenant mode, the user must have the following permissions:
    • To synchronize a PDB as a PDB user, the user must have the CREATE SESSION, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY and SELECT ANY TRANSACTION permissions for the PDB and the SELECT permission for a single table.

      Authorization statement: GRANT SELECT ON <userName.tbName> to drsUser;)

    • To synchronize a PDB as a CDB user, the user must have the following permissions: CREATE SESSION, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, SELECT ANY TRANSACTION permissions for the PDB, the SELECT permission for a single table, and CREATE SESSION, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, SELECT ANY TRANSACTION, and SET CONTAINER permissions for the CDB.
    • Authorization statement: GRANT SET CONTAINER TO <userName> CONTAINER=ALL;)
  • In other cases:

    The user must have the CREATE SESSION and SELECT ANY DICTIONARY permissions. The SELECT permission on a single table is also required.

    Authorization statement: GRANT SELECT ON <userName.tbName> to drsUser;
  • Oracle 12c or later in tenant mode:
    • To synchronize a container database (CDB) of Oracle 12c or later, the user must have the following permissions: CREATE SESSION, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, SELECT for a single table (GRANT SELECT ON <userName.tbName> to drsUser), EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE, SELECT ANY TRANSACTION, and LOGMINING.
    • To synchronize a pluggable database (PDB) of Oracle 12c or later, the user must have the following permissions: CREATE SESSION, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, SELECT for a single table (GRANT SELECT ON <userName.tbName> to drsUser), EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE and SELECT ANY TRANSACTION permissions for a PDB, and CREATE SESSION, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE, SELECT ANY TRANSACTION, LOGMINING and SET CONTAINER (GRANT SET CONTAINER TO <userName> CONTAINER=ALL) permissions for a CDB.
  • Oracle 12c or later in non-tenant mode:

    The user must have the following permissions: CREATE SESSION, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, SELECT for a single table (GRANT SELECT ON <userName.tbName> to drsUser), EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE, SELECT ANY TRANSACTION, and LOGMINING.

  • To synchronize a database of Oracle 11g or earlier, the user must have the following permissions: CREATE SESSION, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, SELECT for a single table (GRANT SELECT ON <userName.tbName> to drsUser), EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE, and SELECT ANY TRANSACTION.

Destination database user

The destination database user must have the following permissions: SELECT, CREATE, DROP, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE, ALTER, INDEX, EVENT, RELOAD and CREATE VIEW
  • You are advised to create an independent database account for DRS task connection to prevent task failures caused by database account password modification.
  • After changing the account passwords for the source and destination databases, modify the connection information of the DRS task by referring to Modifying Connection Information to prevent automatic retry after a task failure. Automatic retry will lock the database accounts.

Supported Synchronization Objects

Table 3 lists the objects that can be synchronized in different scenarios. DRS will automatically check the objects you selected before the synchronization.

Table 3 Supported synchronization objects

Type

Precautions

Synchronization objects

The source database data can be synchronized, but the source table structure and other objects cannot be synchronized.

Precautions

To ensure tasks can run normally, DRS provides automatic pre-check. Before starting a DRS task, DRS checks the configurations and conditions of the source and destination databases. For details about the main check items and handling suggestions, see Pre-check Items. In addition to the pre-check items, you need to pay attention to the items listed in Table 4.

Table 4 Precautions

Type

Restrictions

Restrictions on the source database
  • The maximum row length of Oracle cannot exceed 8 KB, excluding BLOB and TEXT columns which will be automatically converted to the text and blob types of MySQL. The reason is that the MySQL InnoDB restricts the row length to 8 KB.
  • The primary key or unique key column cannot contain values of the string data type when you map the MySQL data types to the character data types in Oracle because MySQL cannot tell spaces in data. Otherwise, data inconsistency and deadlock may occur.
  • The values of binary_float and binary_double cannot be set to Nan, Inf, or -Inf because MySQL does not support these values. DRS converts the three values to 0 and saves them by default.
  • AUTO_PK_ROW_ID cannot be used as a column name in Oracle because it is a reserved column name in MySQL 5.7 and cannot be created.
  • Ensure that the precision of the number(p, s) field in the Oracle database does not exceed the precision range p: [1, 38], s:[p-65, min(p, 30)]. The value of s depends on the value of p. The lower limit is p-65, and the upper limit is the minimum value of p or 30. For example, when p is 1, the value range of s is [-64, 1]. When p is 38, the value range of s is [-27, 30].

    The value of the int field cannot exceed the precision range of (65, 0). The digit range of MySQL is smaller than that of Oracle.

  • Tables whose names contain special characters except underscores (_) cannot be synchronized.
  • An empty source database cannot be synchronized.

Restrictions on usage

General

  • Do not modify or delete the usernames, passwords, and permissions of the source and destination databases or change the ports of the source and destination databases.
  • DDL operations cannot be performed on the source database.
  • Do not perform the resetlogs operation on the source Oracle database. Otherwise, data cannot be synchronized and tasks cannot be restored.
  • The rollback operation of the LOB type is not supported. Otherwise, the synchronization task fails.
  • The username (schema name) of the source Oracle database cannot be changed, including the scenarios where the schema name is changed by modifying the USER$ dictionary table in versions earlier than 11.2.0.2 and by using ALTER USER username RENAME TO new_username in versions later than 11.2.0.2.
  • During synchronization, writing data to the destination databases is not allowed. Otherwise, data inconsistency may occur.

Full synchronization

  • In the full synchronization phase, bfile, xml, sdo_geometry, urowid, interval (precision greater than 6 digits), and user-defined types are not supported.
  • In a full synchronization for the table structure, the length of the char and varchar2 types in the source database automatically increases by at least 1.5 times by byte in the destination database (because the length of the destination database is in the unit of byte). The increase multiple depends on the character set of the source and destination databases. For example, if the character set is UTF8, increase the length (byte) by three times by default. If the character set is GBK, increase the length (byte) by two times by default.
  • When the structure of a partitioned table is synchronized during a full synchronization, the partitioned table is converted to a non-partitioned table. During incremental synchronization, operations on partitioned tables in the source database may fail to be synchronized to the destination database or fail to be executed in the destination database.

Incremental synchronization

  • DDL operations cannot be synchronized during incremental synchronization.
  • In the incremental synchronization phase, bfile, xml, interval, sdo_geometry, urowid, timestamp (precision greater than 6 digits), and user-defined types are not supported.
  • In the incremental phase, Oracle extended characters are not supported. The standard character set cannot parse Oracle customized extended characters.
  • During an incremental synchronization, 0x00 at the end of BLOB and the spaces at the end of CLOB are truncated.
  • Incremental synchronization does not support distributed transactions (XA transactions) and PARALLEL DML on an Oracle database.
  • During incremental synchronization, you are not advised to select a hybrid partition table because DML logs are not generated when data in the external partition of the hybrid partition table changes. DRS cannot obtain the changes during incremental synchronization, which may cause data inconsistency.
  • During incremental synchronization, the incremental parsing supports only data within the valid range of the Oracle time type. Data beyond the valid range may cause task exceptions. For example, data truncation occurs if the year value is greater than 9999.

Troubleshooting

  • If any problem occurs during task creation, startup, full synchronization, incremental synchronization, or completion, rectify the fault by referring to Troubleshooting.

Other restrictions
  • You need to create table structures and indexes in the destination database based on table structure of the source schema. Objects that are not created in the destination database are not to be synchronized.
  • During synchronization, create a table structure in the destination database. The table structure of the destination database must contain all columns in the source database, and the primary keys must be the same.
  • The default values of the source database can be to_date and sys_guid functions. To use other functions as default values, ensure that the destination database has the same functions. If the destination database does not have the corresponding function, the following results may be displayed:
    • The default value may be left empty.
    • The table fails to be created. As a result, the object comparison result is inconsistent or the task fails.
  • If the table contains only LOB columns, data inconsistency may occur.
  • If the empty function of the LOB type is used to write data in the Oracle database, the value queried through JDBC is an empty string. Whether the value is an empty string or NULL after being written to the destination database depends on the processing of the empty string in the destination database.
  • For a table that does not have a primary key or index, the number of columns of non-large fields must be greater than 3. Otherwise, incremental synchronization may fail because all columns cannot be matched.
  • Tables whose default values contain expression functions cannot be synchronized.
  • Temporary tables in the source database cannot be synchronized.
  • Tables with virtual columns in the source database cannot be synchronized.
  • Before synchronization, you must create databases, tables, columns, indexes, and constraints with the same names (in lowercase) as the corresponding source objects to be synchronized in the destination database.
  • During a synchronization, a large amount of data is written to the destination database. If the value of the max_allowed_packet parameter of the destination database is too small, data cannot be written. You are advised to set the max_allowed_packet parameter to a value greater than 100 MB.
  • Do not use foreign keys for tables during synchronization. Otherwise, the sequence of writing data to different tables may be inconsistent with that in the source database, which may trigger foreign key constraints and cause synchronization failures.
  • The destination table can contain more columns than the source table. However, the following failures must be avoided:
    • Assume that extra columns on the destination cannot be null or have default values. If newly inserted data records are synchronized from the source to the destination, the extra columns will become null, which does not meet the requirements of the destination and will cause the task to fail.
    • Assume that extra columns on the destination must be fixed at a default value and have a unique constraint. If newly inserted data records are synchronized from the source to the destination, the extra columns will contain multiple default values. That does not meet the unique constraint of the destination and will cause the task to fail.
  • After objects such as tables are synchronized to the destination database, their names are converted into lowercase letters. For example, the name of object ABC is changed to abc after being synchronized to the destination database. In incremental synchronization, the source database cannot contain tables with the same name but different letter cases. Otherwise, the synchronization will fail.
  • The table without a primary key lacks a unique identifier for rows. When the network is unstable, you may need to retry the task several times, or data inconsistency may occur.
  • If there are special characters such as Chinese and Japanese in the Oracle database, the code of the destination Oracle database must be the same as the code of the source Oracle database. Otherwise, garbled characters are displayed in the destination database.
  • After the Oracle table structure is synchronized to DDM, the character set of the table is utf8mb4.
  • If the length of a table structure in the Oracle database exceeds 65,535 bytes, the synchronization may fail. The length of a table structure is the total length of all columns. The length of the char or varchar2 type is related to the code.
  • The size of an Oracle archive log file must be greater than the maximum size of a single data record to prevent incremental data parsing exceptions caused by cross-file (more than two log files) storage of a single data record.
  • For an Oracle RAC cluster, use the scan IP address and service name to create a task. The SCAN IP address can provide better fault tolerance, load capability, and synchronization experience.
  • If the source is an Oracle RAC database and the SCAN IP address is used to configure a DRS task, ensure that the SCAN IP address and DRS node IP address can communicate with all virtual IP addresses of the source database. Otherwise, the connectivity check fails. If the SCAN IP address is not used, the virtual IP address of a node can be used. In this case, DRS logs are parsed only on the RAC node specified by the virtual IP address.
  • If the source is an RAC database, all RAC nodes must be online when incremental synchronization is started for the first time. Otherwise, an error occurs during incremental synchronization.
  • If the source is an RAC database, the number of nodes cannot be increased or decreased during incremental synchronization to avoid incremental synchronization exceptions and ensure strong data consistency.
  • If the Oracle character set is WE8MSWIN1252, the CLOB column synchronized to the destination database may contain garbled characters. You can change the character set of the source database to AL32UTF8 before the synchronization.
  • If the PDB database is used for synchronization, all PDBs must be enabled during incremental synchronization due to the restrictions of the Oracle LogMiner component.
  • In Oracle 12.2 and later versions, due to the restrictions of the Oracle LogMiner component, a table or column name contains no more than 30 characters during an incremental synchronization.
  • In a full+incremental synchronization, the PDB database cannot be directly connected. You need to provide the service name/SID, username, and password of the CDB.
  • During an incremental synchronization of table-level objects, renaming tables is not recommended.
  • The source database username is consistent with the destination database name.
  • When the source database user and table structure are synchronized to the destination database, the corresponding information is converted into lowercase letters. For example, tables Ab and AB are changed to table ab after being synchronized to the destination database.
  • Index organized tables cannot be synchronized.
  • Before a full synchronization task starts, if a transaction is not committed for a long time, data may be lost.
  • When editing the task to add a new table, ensure that transactions of the new table have been committed. Otherwise, transactions that are not committed may fail to be synchronized to the destination database. You are advised to add tables during off-peak hours.
  • If the supplemental logging level of the source Oracle database is not set to All and the incremental update data of the source database is not found in the destination database, the complete data of the source database cannot be written to the destination database even if the conflict policy is set to Overwrite. To write all data to the destination database, set the supplemental logging level of the source database to All.

      Parameter

      Description

      Data Flow

      Select To the cloud.

      Source DB Engine

      Select Oracle.

      Destination DB Engine

      Select DDM.

      Network Type

      Public network is used as an example. Available options: VPC, Public network and VPN or Direct Connect

      • VPC is suitable for data synchronization between cloud databases of the same account in the same region and VPC.
      • Public network is suitable for data synchronization from on-premises or external cloud databases to the destination databases bound with an EIP.
      • VPN or Direct Connect is suitable for data synchronization from on-premises databases to cloud databases, between databases of different accounts in the same region on the cloud, or between databases across regions on the cloud using a VPN, Direct Connect, Cloud Connect, VPCEP, or a VPC peering connection.

      Destination DB Instance

      An available DDM instance.

      Synchronization Instance Subnet

      Select the subnet where the synchronization instance is located. You can also click View Subnets to go to the network console to view the subnet where the instance resides.

      By default, the DRS instance and the destination DB instance are in the same subnet. You need to select the subnet where the DRS instance resides, and there are available IP addresses for the subnet. To ensure that the synchronization instance is successfully created, only subnets with DHCP enabled are displayed.

      Synchronization Mode

      The synchronization mode supported by a DRS task. Full+Incremental is used as an example. For details about the underlying working principles for full or incremental synchronization, see Product Architecture and Function Principles.

      • Full+Incremental

        This synchronization mode allows you to synchronize data in real time. After a full synchronization initializes the destination database, an incremental synchronization parses logs to ensure data consistency between the source and destination databases.

        NOTE:

        If you select Full+Incremental, data generated during the full synchronization will be continuously synchronized to the destination database, and the source remains accessible.

      • Full

        All database objects and data you selected are synchronized to the destination database at a time. This mode is applicable to scenarios where service interruption is acceptable.

      Specify EIP

      This parameter is available when you select Public network for Network Type. Select an EIP to be bound to the DRS instance. DRS will automatically bind the specified EIP to the DRS instance and unbind the EIP after the task is complete.

      For details about the data transfer fee generated using a public network, see EIP Price Calculator.

    • Enterprise Project and Tags
      Figure 4 Enterprise projects and tags
      Table 8 Enterprise Project and Tags

      Parameter

      Description

      Enterprise Project

      An enterprise project you would like to use to centrally manage your cloud resources and members. Select an enterprise project from the drop-down list. The default project is default.

      For more information about enterprise project, see Enterprise Management User Guide.

      To customize an enterprise project, click Enterprise in the upper right corner of the console. The Enterprise Project Management Service page is displayed. For details, see Creating an Enterprise Project in Enterprise Management User Guide.

      Tags
      • Tags a task. This configuration is optional. Adding tags helps you better identify and manage your tasks. Each task can have up to 20 tags.
      • If your organization has configured tag policies for DRS, add tags to tasks based on the policies. If a tag does not comply with the policies, task creation may fail. Contact your organization administrator to learn more about tag policies.
      • After a task is created, you can view its tag details on the Tags tab. For details, see Tag Management.

    If a task fails to be created, DRS retains the task for three days by default. After three days, the task automatically stops.

  3. On the Configure Source and Destination Databases page, wait until the synchronization instance is created. Then, specify source and destination database information and click Test Connection for both the source and destination databases to check whether they have been connected to the synchronization instance. After the connection tests are successful, select the check box before the agreement and click Next.

    PDB Name

    Container database (CDB) and pluggable database (PDB) are new features in Oracle 12c and later versions. This function is optional, but it must be enabled if you want to migrate only PDB tables.

    Enter the service name, SID, username, and password of the CDB that contains the PDB tables to be migrated.

    Database Username

    The username for accessing the source database.

    Database Password

    The password for the database username.

    SSL Connection

    SSL encrypts the connections between the source and destination databases. If SSL is enabled, upload the SSL CA root certificate.

    NOTE:
    • The maximum size of a single certificate file that can be uploaded is 500 KB.
    • If SSL is disabled, your data may be at risk.

    The username and password of the source database are encrypted and stored in DRS and will be cleared after the task is deleted.

  4. On the Set Synchronization Task page, select the synchronization object type and synchronization object. Click Next.

    Figure 7 Synchronization Mode
    Table 11 Synchronization mode and object

    Parameter

    Description

    Flow Control

    You can choose whether to control the flow. Flow Control takes effect in the full phase only.

    • Yes

      You can customize the maximum synchronization speed. During the full synchronization, the synchronization speed of each task (or each subtask in multi-task mode) does not exceed the value of this parameter.

      In addition, you can set the time range based on your service requirements. The traffic rate setting usually includes setting of a rate limiting time period and a traffic rate value. Flow can be controlled all day or during specific time ranges. The default value is Always. A maximum of three time ranges can be set, and they cannot overlap.

      The flow rate must be set based on the service scenario and cannot exceed 9,999 MB/s.

      Figure 8 Flow control
    • No
      The synchronization speed is not limited and the outbound bandwidth of the source database is maximally used, which will increase the read burden on the source database. For example, if the outbound bandwidth of the source database is 100 MB/s and 80% bandwidth is used, the I/O consumption on the source database is 80 MB/s.
      NOTE:
      • The flow control mode takes effect only in the full synchronization phase.
      • You can also change the flow control mode after creating a task. For details, see Modifying the Flow Control Mode.

    Sharding Mode

    Select Sharding by primary key or Sharding by row ID as needed.

    • Sharding by primary key

      Tables with primary keys are sharded using primary key values. The sharding efficiency is lower than that of Sharding by row ID.

    • Sharding by row ID

      Sharding by row ID is recommended for synchronizing large tables without primary keys, improving sharding efficiency.

      Restrictions on Sharding by row ID: During full synchronization, do not perform operations that will cause row ID changes on the source database, such as Export/import of the table, ALTER TABLE XXXX MOVE, ALTER TABLE XXXX SHRINK SPACE, FLASHBACK TABLE XXXX, Splitting a partition, Updating a value so that it moves to a new partition, or Combining two partitions. Otherwise, data may be inconsistent. You can run ALTER TABLE XXXX DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT to disable these operations.

    Synchronize DML

    Select the DML operations to be synchronized. By default, all DML operations are selected.

    If you do not select Delete, DELETE statements in the incremental data of the source database will not be synchronized, which may cause a data inconsistency. As a result, there may be a data conflict or the task may fail.

    Synchronization Object

    The left pane displays the source database objects, and the right pane displays the selected objects. DRS supports table-level synchronization. You can select data for synchronization based on your service requirements.

    If the synchronization objects in source and destination databases have different names, you can map the source object name to the destination one. For details, see Changing Object Names (Mapping Object Names).

    NOTE:
    • To quickly select the desired database objects, you can use the search function.
    • If there are changes made to the source databases or objects, click in the upper right corner to update the objects to be synchronized.
    • If an object name contains spaces, the spaces before and after the object name are not displayed. If there are two or more consecutive spaces in the middle of the object name, only one space is displayed.
    • The name of the selected synchronization object cannot contain spaces.

  5. On the Check Task page, check the synchronization task.

    • If any check fails, review the cause and rectify the fault. After the fault is rectified, click Check Again.

      For details about how to handle check failures, see Solutions to Failed Check Items in Data Replication Service User Guide.

    • If all check items are successful, click Next.

      You can proceed to the next step only when all checks are successful. If there are any items that require confirmation, view and confirm the details first before proceeding to the next step.

  6. On the displayed page, specify Start Time, Send Notifications, SMN Topic, Delay Threshold (s), and Stop Abnormal Tasks After, confirm that the configured information is correct, select the check box before the agreement, and click Submit to submit the task.

    Figure 9 Task startup settings

    Table 12 Task startup settings

    Parameter

    Description

    Start Time

    Set Start Time to Start upon task creation or Start at a specified time based on site requirements.

    NOTE:

    After a synchronization task is started, the performance of the source and destination databases may be affected. You are advised to start a synchronization task during off-peak hours.

    Send Notifications

    This parameter is optional. After enabled, select a SMN topic. If the status, latency metric, or data of the migration task is abnormal, DRS will send you a notification.

    SMN Topic

    This parameter is available only after you enable Send Notifications and create a topic on the SMN console and add a subscriber.

    For details, see Simple Message Notification User Guide.

    Delay Threshold (s)

    During an incremental synchronization, a synchronization delay indicates a time difference (in seconds) of synchronization between the source and destination database.

    If the synchronization delay exceeds the threshold you specify, DRS will send alarms to the specified recipients. The value ranges from 0 to 3,600. To avoid repeated alarms caused by the fluctuation of delay, an alarm is sent only after the delay has exceeded the threshold for six minutes.

    NOTE:
    • If the delay threshold is set to 0, no notifications will be sent to the recipient.
    • In the early stages of an incremental synchronization, the synchronization delay is long because a large quantity of data is awaiting synchronization. In this case, no notifications will be sent.
    • Before setting the delay threshold, enable Send Notifications.

    Data Exception Notification

    This parameter is optional. After enabled, DRS will send a notification if the task data is abnormal.

    Stop Abnormal Tasks After

    Number of days after which an abnormal task is automatically stopped. The value must range from 14 to 100. The default value is 14.

    NOTE:
    • You can set this parameter only for pay-per-use tasks.
    • Tasks in the abnormal state are still charged. If tasks remain in the abnormal state for a long time, they cannot be resumed. Abnormal tasks run longer than the period you set (unit: day) will automatically stop to avoid unnecessary fees.

  7. After the task is submitted, you can view and manage it on the Data Synchronization Management page.

    • You can view the task status. For more information about task status, see Task Statuses.
    • You can click in the upper right corner to view the latest task status.
    • By default, DRS retains a task in the Configuration state for three days. After three days, DRS automatically deletes background resources, but the task status remains unchanged. When you configure the task again, DRS applies for resources for the task again. In this case, the IP address of the DRS instance changes.
    • For a public network task, DRS needs to delete background resources after you stop the task. The EIP bound to the task cannot be restored to the Unbound state until background resources are deleted.
