I am happy to announce that OCI Database Migration service has added support for offline and online migrations from nearly any Oracle Database into Oracle Database@Azure. Customers with on-prem or OCI Oracle databases can migrate their data into Oracle Database@Azure database services: Oracle Autonomous Database Service or Oracle Exadata Database Service. The OCI Database Migration service is a free and easy-to-use managed service that simplifies Oracle Database migrations.
There are two migration uses cases - offline and online. Offline migrations requires the application to remain offline during the database migration. Online migrations allow the applications to remain online and continue transacting during the migration process, new and changed transactions are incrementally synchronized. When the user is ready he can trigger the switchover to the newly migrated database. OCI GoldenGate change data capture (CDC) replication is used for online migrations.
Th service is accessed through the database management portal. (See figure below). After an Oracle Database@Azure database is deployed, navigate to the "OCI Database URL" link and select "Go to OCI."
Navigate to the OCI Database Migration service within OCI. From there, identify the source and target database connections. For a detailed walkthrough watch the short video or see the overview PPT. For more information, visit the Oracle.com web page or the documentation.
During the creation of the database connection the Oracle@Azure database will be available transparently for its selection, once created the migration can be initiated.
