[:MySQL Shell documentation: Instance Dump Utility, When migrating an on-premises MySQL database to MySQL HeatWave, you can use MySQL Shell's util.dumpInstance function to export the database. The ocimds: true option is specifically designed for integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)., Let's evaluate the provided options to understand the purpose of the ocimds: true option:, A. It launches a new DB system and imports the data concurrently with the export operation., This option does not describe the behavior of ocimds: true. The ocimds option is related to the export destination rather than launching and importing operations concurrently., Incorrect., B. It enables all MySQL HeatWave compatibility options., This option does not enable compatibility settings. Compatibility settings would be handled separately, not through the ocimds option., Incorrect., C. It returns an error if the database has any incompatibilities with MySQL HeatWave., This option does not perform any compatibility checks or error reporting related to HeatWave compatibility., Incorrect., D. It stores the exported files in OCI Object Storage., The ocimds: true option directs the export process to store the resulting dump files in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage. This is useful for easily migrating the data to MySQL HeatWave or other OCI services., Correct., Summary:, Correct option:, It stores the exported files in OCI Object Storage., By using the ocimds: true option with util.dumpInstance, the exported MySQL database files are stored directly in OCI Object Storage. This facilitates the migration process to MySQL HeatWave by leveraging OCI's storage services for handling the data transfer., References:, MySQL Shell Documentation - Dumping MySQL Instances, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation, , ]
