Pausing and resuming a job

When you start a migration job, you can configure it to pause at a specified phase, and then you can resume the job when you are ready.

When you start a migration job, a confirmation dialog opens, and there you can configure the job to pause at any point by selecting a phase in Require User Input After.

When the phase you selected to pause after completes, the job will enter a Waiting state until you resume (or terminate) the job.

If you pause after the phase Monitor Replication Lag, the transaction replication continues during the Waiting state. It will stop upon resume.

To start the job where it left off, do one of the following:

• In the Jobs table on the Migration Details page, select Resume from the Actions (three dots) menu for the job you want to resume.

• Click Resume on the Job Details page.

At this time you can select another phase after which to pause the job again.
