DBS-C01 Deployment and Migration Practice Question
Which TWO steps are required when migrating an Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle using AWS DMS with ongoing replication? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse minimal supplemental logging (which is sufficient for Oracle GoldenGate) with the full supplemental logging required by AWS DMS, leading them to incorrectly select option B instead of D.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable archive logging on the source Oracle database.
AWS DMS requires archive logging on the source Oracle database to capture ongoing changes for continuous replication. Archive logging ensures that redo logs are retained and available for DMS to read transaction changes after a log switch, enabling Change Data Capture (CDC) without data loss.
