Managing replication assets

You can manage your Data Replication service instance and assets.

Pausing and stopping your replication

You can pause and stop your replication at any time, but note that stopping your replication releases the supplemental logging on source database tables as well as any other resources required for replication while the replication is active. Restarting the replication re-allocates all required objects and enables supplemental logging on the database tables, as well as re-synchronizes the data, before only replicating data that changed.

Pausing your replication
To temporarily stop your replication, click the Pause icon Pause replication after clicking on your project's Data Replication asset. Pausing your replication acts as a bookmark, allowing you to resume the replication at the stage it was last left.
Stopping your replication
If you choose to completely stop your Data Replication by clicking the Stop icon Stop replication, it releases the supplemental logging on source database tables as well as any other resources required for replication while the replication is active.
  • For a Data Replication asset that uses PostgreSQL as a source connection, the PostgreSQL replication slots for the asset are deleted automatically.
  • For a Data Replication asset that uses Oracle XStream as a source connection, the Oracle XStream Capture and Outbound servers for the asset is deleted automatically. Stopping and then starting your replication is the same as setting up a new Data Replication asset. Click the stop button after clicking your project's Data Replication asset.

Deleting your data in Data Replication

To delete your data within the service instance, delete the Data Replication assets from your projects and catalogs. Before you can delete a Data Replication asset, you must stop the Data Replication.

To remove an asset, use one of these methods:

  • On the asset's Details page, click the Delete replication icon.
  • On the project's Assets page, click Delete from the Options menu next to the asset.
  • On the catalog's Browse assets page, click Remove from the Options menu next to the asset.

Deleting Data Replication service instances

When you delete a Data Replication service instance, Data Replication assets that are associated with that service instance stop running.
