    Dataphin:Set AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL as the compute engine for a Dataphin instance

    Last Updated:Jun 23, 2026

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

    Prerequisites

    The system metadata has been initialized. For more information, see Initialize the metadata warehouse using AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL as the compute engine.

    Permissions

    All system roles except for Tag Specialist and Business Member, and custom global roles with the Cluster Management - View permission, can manage compute clusters.

    Procedure

    1. In the top menu bar of the Dataphin homepage, choose Management Center > System Settings.

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

    3. On the Compute Settings page, select AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL.

    4. Click Save.

    What to do next

    After you set the compute engine, click Manage Compute Clusters to go to the Planning > Compute Sources > Manage ADB PG Clusters dialog box, where you can create or manage AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL clusters. For more information, see Create and manage ADB PG clusters.

    You can also add compute sources to existing projects for compute and storage resources. For more information, see Create a general-purpose project.
