Connection profiles capture identifiers for your data sources and
destination databases. Each connection profile contains the
minimum required amount of information Database Migration Service needs to facilitate
data movement between the data source and destination.
That information includes:
Connection profile name: A human-readable name for your
connection profile. This value is displayed in Database Migration Service in
the Google Cloud console.
Connection profile ID: A machine-readable identifier for your connection
profile. This value is used when you work with connection profiles by using
Database Migration Service Google Cloud CLI commands or API.
Region: The region where your connection profile is saved.
Database Migration Service is a fully-regional product, meaning all entities
related to your migration (source and destination connection profiles,
migration jobs, destination databases, conversion workspaces) must be saved in a single region.
For more information on region requirements in Database Migration Service,
see
Product overview in the main
Database Migration Service documentation set.
Username and password for the dedicated migration user in the source
or destination database.
Connectivity information: IP or hostname, port, migration
user account name and password.
Connection details differ depending on what connectivity method you use.
Source and destination connection profiles can use different connectivity
methods. See
Networking overview.
