Use tags to manage data migration tasks

OceanBase Migration Service (OMS) Community Edition allows you to manage data migration tasks by using tags.

Background

After you create a data migration task, you can use tags to manage and filter the task. All tags can be shared. However, the admin user and general users have different privileges on tags:

• The admin user can create, query, modify, delete, and revoke tags.

• A general user can create, query, and revoke tags, and can modify and delete tags that are created by the user.

• A general user can use tags created by the admin user and other general users but can manage only tags created by themselves.

Limits

• You can add up to four tags to a data migration task.

• The total number of tags for all migration and synchronization tasks cannot exceed 100.

• The tag names must be unique in OMS Community Edition.
