Remarks The business background of the project, such as the change purpose and expected goal.
Click Submit.
Note
After a task is created, the task will automatically match the application process of shadow table synchronization task created by the administrator on the public resource console.
Tasks will be executed based on the priority order set by the administrator in Set Priority on the public resource console.
