Dataphin:Set the compute engine of a Dataphin instance to GaussDB (DWS)

Last Updated:Jun 17, 2026

Before you create a project space for data development, you must configure the compute engine for the Dataphin instance. After the compute engine is configured, you can add compute sources to the project space for computation and storage.

Prerequisites

The system metadata is initialized. For more information, see how to use GaussDB (DWS) as the metadata warehouse engine during metadata warehouse initialization.

Procedure

  1. On the Dataphin home page, navigate to the top menu bar and select Management Center > System Settings.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click on Tenant Settings > Compute Settings. On the Compute Settings page, enter the necessary compute engine parameters.

    Parameter

    Description

    JDBC URL

    Enter the JDBC URL for connecting to GaussDB. The format is jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database.

  3. Click Save.

What to do next

After the compute engine is configured, you can add compute sources to a project space for computation and storage. For more information, see Create a General Project.
