Destinations

Destinations are externally managed databases you connected to the Hybrid Manager using the Data Migration Service or DMS so you can use them as destinations for migrations. For a database to appear in this view, you must install and configure the EDB DMS Writer.

This view displays all the configured destinations in the project.

Each destination's view shows the database name, database type, cdcwriter ID, the current status, the destination type, and more.

Status

HM can display the following statuses for a destination.

StatusDescription
Waiting for tables metadataThe EDB DMS Writer is retrieving information about the tables (for example, names, columns, data types). If the destination is stuck in this state, there might be connectivity issues with the database.
Ready to start a new migrationThe EDB DMS Writer can successfully access the destination database, and you can use it for a migration.
RunningA migration process using this destination is currently active and data is being transferred.
PausedAn ongoing migration process that's using this destination was temporarily stopped.
Connectivity errorThe EDB DMS Writer can't establish a connection to the externally managed database. This can be due to incorrect connection details (host, port, database name, username, password) or network issues.
ErrorUnspecified problem. Investigate HM Console and cdcwriter logs to understand the specific cause.
Note

You can't use a source or destination that's part of an active migration (in any state, including running or paused) for another migration. The existing migration must be completed or deleted before you can reuse the source or destination.
