Add a consumer group

Prerequisites

A change tracking instance has been created, and its status is Normal. For more information, see Overview of change tracking scenarios.

Usage notes

• If a single row of data to be consumed exceeds 16 MB, the consumer client may encounter an out of memory (OOM) error.

• You can create a maximum of 20 consumer groups for a change tracking instance to allow for repeated data consumption.

• Each consumer group supports only one consumer, and that consumer consumes all the data for the group.

• If you switch the Data Transmission Service (DTS) incremental data collection module or the client, data duplication may occur.
