Pause and Resume Kafka Migration Jobs
When you have an Apache Kafka supported migration job, you can pause and resume the migration job. You may want to pause a migration job for maintenance windows or planned outages on your source database.
About this Task
You can only pause and resume Kafka or Confluent Cloud Kafka supported continuous migration jobs.
The amount of time that a job can be paused depends on the log retention period of your source relational database.
Before you Begin
You must enable Kafka support for Relational Migrator. For details, see Integrating Relational Migrator with Kafka.
Steps

For details on creating a continuous migration job, see create a migration job.
Pause the migration job
Wait for the migration job to enter the CDC stage. Once the migration job enters the CDC stage click the Pause button on the Job Overview pane.
Click Pause CDC on the pop-up modal to confirm you would like to pause the migration job. The status of the CDC Stage updates to Paused.
Warning
You must resume the migration job within your source database's CDC retention period to ensure no events are lost.
