Creating a migration
After you use the EDB DMS Reader to read the source database, create a new migration in the EDB Postgres® AI Console. This establishes a sync between the source database and a target cluster in the EDB Postgres AI Console.
Access your Hybrid Control Plane portal and log in with your EDB Postgres AI credentials.
Select the project from which you want to manage the migration.
Within your project, select Migrate > Migrations.
In the Migrations page, select Create New Migration.
In the Create Migration page, assign a Name to the migration.
Select the Source of the migration. The ID for the EDB DMS Reader is listed in the drop-down menu.
Select the migration type, Snapshot or Snapshot + Streaming.
Under Destination Type, select a target for the migration. This can be a Managed Postgres or External Postgres instance. Select the destination cluster and database accordingly and select Next.
Select the tables and columns to migrate. Modify the table and column names if needed.
Select Create Migration.
The Hybrid Control Plane portal now displays a new migration.
If you chose the Snapshot + Streaming option, the EDB DMS Reader is constantly streaming data when the migration displays the Running state. Changes to data are replicated from the source to the target database as long as the migration is running.
Note
The EDB DMS Reader streams data changes. It does not stream changes in the DDL objects.
