About Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration is a fully-managed service that provides you a high performing, self-service experience for migrating databases to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

You can perform homogeneous Oracle and MySQL migrations using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database Migration service. Database Migration runs as a managed cloud service separate from your tenancy and resources. The service operates as a multitenant service in a Database Migration service tenancy and communicates with your resources using Private Endpoints (PEs). PEs are managed by Database Migration.

Database Migration includes the following capabilities:

  • Oracle Migration of data from on-premises, Oracle Cloud, and Amazon RDS Oracle databases into co-managed, Autonomous Data Warehouse, or Autonomous Transaction Processing services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • MySQL sources into OCI HeatWave.
  • Simple offline migration option or enterprise-level logical migration with minimal downtime option

  • Based on industry-leading Oracle GoldenGate replication and powered by the Zero Downtime Migration engine.
    Note

    ZDM is applicable only for Oracle migrations.
  • Compliant with Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) and supports Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.4), MySQL 5.7 and 8 versions, and later database releases.

  • Seamless transition from initial load to streamed replication

  • Performs change data capture on the source database and replicates these changes to the target

  • Job subsystem lets you perform and manage database migrations at a fleet scale.

  • Pause and resume functionality lets you pause and resume your migration job if needed, which is useful to conform to a maintenance window, for example

  • Job termination lets you terminate a running migration job, rather than waiting for it to complete

  • Re-run (resume) migration jobs from a point of failure

  • Job pre-checks for migration tasks to prevent errors during database migration
