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.

  • 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.

You must enable Kafka support for Relational Migrator. For details, see Integrating Relational Migrator with Kafka.
