May 28, 2026

A new version of OMS for multi-cloud environments has been released, adding support for switching data transfer tasks from Alibaba Cloud to OceanBase Cloud through the Alibaba Cloud channel, intelligent diagnostics for data migration, and filtering condition pushdown. This enables refined task management, strengthens the stability of migration verification tasks in multi-cloud environments, and enhances the flexibility and reliability of data operations.

Switching data transfer tasks from Alibaba Cloud to OceanBase Cloud

This release adds the ability to switch data transfer tasks from the Alibaba Cloud official website channel to OceanBase Cloud. Users can perform this switch via the OceanBase instance list or the entry for switched instances on the Alibaba Cloud official website. The switching process does not affect the normal operation of the link itself, ensuring business continuity. Key points to note for the task switch are as follows:

• The types of data transfer tasks that can be switched depend on the types currently supported by OBCloud. Unsupported task types will be gradually added based on priority. For details, see Task types supported by OceanBase Cloud.
• During the switching of a data transfer task, you need to release/unsubscribe from the transfer instance on the Alibaba Cloud official website channel, and OBCloud will automatically complete the ordering process. Please communicate with your business manager before performing the switch and pay attention to any billing changes.
• There are differences in the calling methods between the Alibaba Cloud official website channel's OpenAPI and OBCloud's OpenAPI. If a data transfer task depends on OpenAPI management, consult technical support before switching to evaluate the OpenAPI integration plan.

Intelligent diagnosis for data migration

Intelligent diagnostic capabilities have been added, supporting AI diagnosis for performance issues in full migrations and incremental synchronizations, as well as execution anomalies at the target side. It provides problem causes, optimization suggestions, and an entry to authorize automatic optimization, improving the efficiency of locating link problems. Automatic exception diagnostics are triggered when a task fails; performance scenarios support one-click authorization for automatic parameter tuning.

Filtering condition pushdown

Added support for pushing row filtering conditions down to the source database's full slicing and counting phases during full migration and full verification. This avoids in-memory filtering after reading the entire table, reducing resource consumption and shortening migration/synchronization/verification times. After the syntax validation of row filtering conditions is completed upon task creation, you can choose whether to enable filtering condition pushdown (disabled by default if the filter columns have indexes).

Feature optimizations

• Optimization of rate limiting and throttling scenarios Optimized the implementation of data migration rate limiting and throttling. For incremental synchronization, the source-side rate limit is adjusted to match the target-side rate limit, preventing the issue where a large volume of data in an ETL scenario leads to insufficient traffic at the target due to source-side throttling. For full migration, independent configuration of source-side and target-side throttling is supported, providing users with more flexible configuration options.

• Task status optimizations Data migration tasks now include incremental log pulling from the source. By exposing more detailed step information, users can better understand the overall task status. The association between the status of each task step and the overall task status has also been optimized, ensuring that any exception at any step is promptly reflected in the task status, enabling timely feedback on task anomalies.

January 7, 2026

This release primarily introduces data migration tasks between PostgreSQL, TiDB, and OceanBase databases, expands support for cloud-based database migration, provides standalone data verification and labeling management features, enables refined task management, enhances the stability of migration verification tasks in multi-cloud environments, and improves the flexibility and stability of data operations.

New data migration tasks

Added support for data migration tasks from PostgreSQL databases to OceanBase databases (including MySQL and Oracle compatible modes) and from TiDB databases to OceanBase Database's MySQL-compatible mode. It supports schema migration, full migration, and incremental synchronization, helping you quickly migrate data from PostgreSQL or TiDB to OceanBase. Additionally, new data migration tasks have been added for migrating data from OceanBase databases (including MySQL and Oracle compatible modes) to PostgreSQL databases, and from OceanBase Database's MySQL-compatible mode to TiDB databases. These tasks support incremental synchronization, enabling you to achieve reverse synchronization after migrating data from other databases to OceanBase, meeting business requirements for disaster recovery and business continuity.

New data validation capabilities

This version separates data verification from the data migration process, allowing you to configure data verification tasks independently. Using data verification is not dependent on the data migration flow, making operations more flexible. Furthermore, in addition to full verification, row count verification has been added. This verifies data by comparing the row counts of table objects, enabling rapid data verification. Currently, full verification and row count verification are supported for the following task types: MySQL -> OB_MySQL, OB_MySQL -> MySQL, OB_MySQL -> OB_MySQL, Oracle -> OB_Oracle, OB_Oracle -> Oracle, OB_Oracle -> OB_Oracle, PostgreSQL -> OB_Oracle, PostgreSQL -> OB_MySQL, TiDB -> OB_MySQL.

Tag management capabilities

Data migration and data verification in this version are integrated with the label management system. By using the labeling features on OBCloud, you can add corresponding labels to data migration and data verification tasks. You can also filter tasks by label on the task list page, helping you manage data migration and data verification tasks better based on business attributes.

Stability enhancements

• For data migration tasks with a PostgreSQL database as the source, incremental synchronization now uses the unique key of the target by default for conflict matrix judgment, avoiding data quality issues caused by incomplete structural information in PostgreSQL database logs.
• Optimized the incremental synchronization logic to resolve the issue where the original incremental DDL synchronization would block all subsequent DML execution. The serialization logic has been refined to the table level, meaning DDL synchronization does not block DML synchronization for tables that do not need to be closed.
