Tablestore is a NoSQL database service that is built on top of the Apsara distributed operating system. Tablestore allows you to store and access large volumes of structured data in real time.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Data Source page.
    1. Log on to the DataWorks console.
    2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Workspaces.
    3. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which the workspace you want to manage resides. On the Workspaces page, find the workspace, move the pointer over the More icon in the Actions column, and then select Workspace Settings.
    4. In the left-side navigation pane of the page that appears, click Data Source to go to the Data Source page.
    Note You can also go to the Data Sources page in Data Integration to add a data source. However, you can add a data source on the Data Sources page in Data Integration only to the production environment.
  2. On the Data Source page, click Add data source in the upper-right corner.
  3. In the Add data source dialog box, click OTS in the NoSQL section.
  4. In the Add OTS data source dialog box, configure the parameters.
    OTS
    ParameterDescription
    Data Source NameThe name of the data source. The name can contain letters, digits, and underscores (_) and must start with a letter.
    Data source descriptionThe description of the data source. The description can be a maximum of 80 characters in length.
    EnvironmentThe environment in which the data source is used. Valid values: Development and Production.
    Note This parameter is displayed only when the workspace is in standard mode.
    EndpointThe endpoint of Tablestore.
    Table Store instance nameThe name of the Tablestore instance.
    AccessKey IDThe AccessKey ID of the account that you can use to connect to the Tablestore instance. You can view the AccessKey ID on the Security Management page.
    AccessKey SecretThe AccessKey secret of the account that you can use to connect to the Tablestore instance.
  5. Set Resource Group connectivity to Data Integration.
  6. Find the desired resource group in the resource group list in the lower part of the dialog box and click Test connectivity in the Actions column.
    A synchronization node can use only one type of resource group. To ensure that your synchronization nodes can be normally run, you must test the connectivity of all the resource groups for Data Integration on which your synchronization nodes will be run. If you want to test the connectivity of multiple resource groups for Data Integration at a time, select the resource groups and click Batch test connectivity. For more information, see Establish a network connection between a resource group and a data source.
    Note
    • By default, the resource group list displays only exclusive resource groups for Data Integration. To ensure the stability and performance of data synchronization, we recommend that you use exclusive resource groups for Data Integration.
    • If you want to test the network connectivity between the shared resource group or a custom resource group and the data source, click Advanced below the resource group list. In the Warning message, click Confirm. Then, all available shared and custom resource groups appear in the resource group list.
  7. If the data source passes the network connectivity test, click Complete.
