Manage jobs

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration, a migration job is the process of moving data from a source database to a target database. Run a validation pre-check on the migration before you run a job to ensure that it is configured properly. You can manage the jobs with several operations.

  • Validating a migration
    Before you can run a job with a migration resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration, the migration resource must be validated.
  • Checking the Premigration Advisor Report
    Database Migration provides you with an interactive validation report with its integration with the Cloud Premigration Advisor Tool (CPAT). Using CPAT, Database Migration analyzes the source database during a migration job, and advises you about database features and constructs that are problematic, based on the specified Oracle Cloud target.
  • Running a migration job
    After a migration resource is validated you can run migration jobs with it in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration.
  • Pausing and resuming a job
    When you start a migration job, you can configure it to pause at a specified phase, and then you can resume the job when you are ready.
  • Viewing job details
    On the Migration Details page you can view a list of the jobs a migration resource has performed in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration, which includes the following information:
  • Viewing parameter files for online Oracle migrations
    When an online migration gets into Needs Attention state due to a failed migration job using the GoldenGate Service integration, then you may choose to view and edit the Extract and Replicat parameter files and then resume the online Oracle migration.
  • Editing parameter files for online Oracle migrations
    When an online migration gets into Needs Attention state due to a failed migration job, using the GoldenGate Service integration, then you may choose to view and edit the Extract and Replicat parameter files and then resume the online Oracle migration.
  • Monitoring job status
    In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration, there are several places in the Console from which you can monitor the status of a migration job to varying degrees.
  • Preparing for application switchover
    The following procedure ensures minimum data loss during a read-write application switchover.
  • Abort a job
    You can abort or cancel a migration job while it is running or paused.
  • Deleting a job
    To delete a job:
  • Managing tags for jobs
    Tags help you locate resources within your tenancy. In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration, you can add and view a migration job's tags from the Migration Details page and from the Job Details page.
