Pause and Resume Kafka Sync Jobs
When you have an Apache Kafka supported sync job, you can pause and resume the sync job. You may want to pause a sync job for maintenance windows or planned outages on your source database.
About this Task
You can only pause and resume Kafka or Confluent Cloud Kafka supported continuous sync jobs.
The amount of time that a job can be paused depends on the log retention period of your source relational database.
Before you Begin
You must enable Kafka support for Relational Migrator. For details, see Integrating Relational Migrator with Kafka.
Steps
Create a continous sync job
For details on creating a continuous sync job, see create a sync job.
Pause the sync job
Wait for the sync job to enter the CDC stage. Once the sync job enters the CDC stage click the Pause button on the Job Overview pane.
Click Pause CDC on the pop-up modal to confirm you would like to pause the sync job. The status of the CDC Stage updates to Paused.
Warning
You must resume the sync job within your source database's CDC retention period to ensure no events are lost.
Resume the sync job
To resume a job, click the Resume button. The status of the CDC stage updates to Running. This status indicates Relational Migrator is actively capturing data from the source database.
