Google has announced that several BigQuery migration assessment features have now reached general availability (GA). These updates aim to streamline the migration process and provide users with more control and visibility.
Key Enhancements
Automatic Dataset Creation
- Migration assessments now automatically create a BigQuery dataset to store results.
- Users can opt to store results in an existing empty dataset or create a custom-named dataset manually.
Real-Time Assessment Viewing
- Users can view assessment reports with partial data while the migration assessment is still running.
- Progress and estimated completion time are now visible in the status icon tooltip.
Improved Error Reporting
- The assessment details page now provides more comprehensive information and error reporting.
These enhancements to the BigQuery migration assessment tool reflect Google's ongoing efforts to improve the data migration experience for its users. By providing more flexibility in data storage, real-time insights during the assessment process, and detailed error reporting, Google aims to make the migration to BigQuery more efficient and user-friendly.
