    Dataphin:Set the compute engine for a Dataphin instance to MaxCompute

    Last Updated:Jun 23, 2026

    Before you create a project for data development, you must set a compute engine for your Dataphin instance. After you set the compute engine, you can add a corresponding compute source to provide compute and storage resources for the project.

    Prerequisites

    The system metadata must be initialized. For more information, see Initialize the metadata warehouse using MaxCompute as the compute engine.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the Dataphin console as a super administrator.

    2. In the top menu bar of the Dataphin home page, choose Management Center > System Settings.

    3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Tenant Settings > Compute Settings.

    4. On the Compute Settings page, select MaxCompute.

    5. In the Endpoint text box, configure the MaxCompute parameters.

      Parameter

      Description

      Region

      Supported regions include China (Shanghai), China (Beijing), China (Shenzhen), China (Hangzhou), China (Chengdu), and others.

      Network connectivity

      If you select China (Shanghai), China (Beijing), China (Shenzhen), China (Hangzhou), or China (Chengdu) as the region, you can set Network connectivity to Public network access or Alibaba Cloud classic network or VPC.

      Important

      Using a public network connection causes cross-domain access and incurs extra fees when you download data. For more information, see Endpoint.

      Endpoint

      If you select Other for the region, enter the Endpoint of your MaxCompute instance. For more information, see Endpoints for MaxCompute in different regions and with different network connection types.

    6. Click Save.

    What to do next

    After you set the compute engine, you can create a project and add a compute source to provide compute and storage resources. For more information, see Create a general-purpose project.
