Reloading tables during a task
While a task is running, you can reload a target database table using data from the source. You might want to reload a table if, during the task, an error occurs or data changes due to partition operations (for example, when using Oracle). You can reload up to 10 tables from a task.
Reloading tables does not stop the task.
To reload a table, the following conditions must apply:
-
The task must be running.
-
The migration method for the task must be either full load or full load with CDC.
-
Duplicate tables aren't allowed.
-
Amazon DMS retains the previously read table definition and doesn't recreate it during the reload operation. Any DDL statements such as ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN or DROP COLUMN that are made to the table before the table is reloaded can cause the reload operation to fail.
Note
DMS applies the TargetTablePrepMode setting before reloading the table. If you
set TargetTablePrepMode to DO_NOTHING, you must manually truncate the
table first.
