In the digital age, data has become a new means of production, playing an increasingly important role in economic and cultural life. To buy tickets, you need to query various ticket information, online shopping you need to search for goods and services, and you need precise positioning when traveling. There are a lot of data information hidden behind these actions. How to make good use of this information has become a barrier for the digital transformation of enterprises.

This barrier is difficult: how to store and manage the data is large and complex? Data islands are serious, how to achieve interconnection?

Regarding this problem, Huawei Cloud Data Replication Service DRS (a cloud service for online database migration and real-time database synchronization, hereinafter referred to as Huawei Cloud DRS) has something to say: In fact, the data exchange between different services is not that difficult, the key is Do you want to choose the right method, don't you believe it? Please see how FAW Hongqi responded easily.

"Hongqi" is an independent high-end automobile brand under China FAW Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as FAW Hongqi). Since the release of the new Hongqi brand strategy in 2018, FAW Hongqi has actively embraced cloud services and carried out micro-service transformation of the core production system ERP. And through Huawei Cloud DRS, the source database is synchronized to the GaussDB database to strengthen data linkage between microservices and speed up data circulation.

The ERP system belongs to the core production business system of auto companies, and has extremely high requirements for data availability, reliability, and continuity. Data synchronization faces certain challenges:

• Reduce the impact on the source database: FAW Hongqi has 1.8TB of overall data and 20,000+ table data. In order to avoid interruption of the source database business, it is hoped that the impact on the source database will be minimized during the synchronization process.
• Extreme reliability: The ERP business system cannot accept data loss during the synchronization process, and the task failure recovery needs to reach the minute level. Reliability and availability are the core demands.
• Continuity: The old and new systems coexist for a long time, and each microservice data of the new system forms an island. At the same time, part of the data of the old and new systems needs to be returned to realize the real-time synchronization of data.

Eliminate data islands, HUAWEI CLOUD DRS makes data come alive

Data synchronization is related to the consistency, accuracy, and security compliance of customer business system data. Without it, all aspects of the enterprise will be full of delays, errors, poor communication and inevitable loss of profits. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that all data is always maintained Unanimous.

In order to strengthen the linkage between various microservices and eliminate ERP system data islands, FAW Red Flag worked with the Huawei Cloud database team to jointly develop an efficient and consistent data synchronization solution. Through the real-time data synchronization capabilities provided by Huawei Cloud DRS, FAW Red Flag was realized. Efficient linkage of data between various businesses.

• Dynamic increase and decrease synchronization objects: FAW Hongqi ERP system involves BOM management center, OTD list center, demand management center and other businesses, business transformation needs to be carried out in batches. HUAWEI CLOUD DRS supports real-time synchronization. By editing synchronization objects, you can add or reduce objects that need to be synchronized for a business at any time, avoid creating too many data synchronization tasks in the source database, and reduce the pressure on the source database and the impact on the original production environment. .
• fault flash recovery: ERP system is related to the production status of the entire car company. If the synchronization task fails, it will affect production. In order to avoid failures in data synchronization tasks that cannot be recovered, Huawei Cloud DRS provides a minute-level reset function to restore synchronization tasks in a timely manner, minimizing the impact on the production environment.
• data staggered synchronization: ERP system involves multiple businesses, and the importance of each sub-business is different. For example, the BOM management center business is relatively more important than other business modules. In order to reduce the impact on the core BOM business, HUAWEI CLOUD DRS supports core data and non- The key data is synchronized separately, which enhances the reliability and availability of the entire system.

HUAWEI CLOUD DRS solves the problem of data islands between the new and old ERP businesses of FAW Hongqi and between various microservices. It fully mobilizes the linkage between services and makes the previously isolated data come alive. At the same time, it provides a data comparison function to visually display the data consistency of the source database and the target database during the synchronization process, which greatly guarantees the sustainable development of customers.

In the future, relying on Huawei Cloud GaussDB database and DRS capabilities, FAW Hongqi will continue to build a stable, reliable, and extremely high-performance data service platform, build a closed-loop OTD model, achieve refined management, and create an integrated and intelligent production and sales system to meet the growing demand Customer customization needs.
