Overview

Log on to the DataWorks console. On the Overview page, you can view the workspaces that are frequently used, the regions in which DataWorks is activated, and other shortcuts.

Workspaces

In the left-side navigation pane, click Workspaces. On the Workspaces page, you can view and manage all workspaces that are created in the current logon account. The page displays only the workspaces to which your account is added as a member.

Note If you use a RAM user to log on to the DataWorks console, you can view only the workspaces to which the RAM user is added as a member. If you want to add the RAM user to a workspace, you can contact the workspace administrator to perform the operation. For more information, see Add workspace members and assign roles to them.


Operation	Description	References

View basic information about a workspace	In the area marked with 3 in the preceding figure, you can view basic information about a workspace, such as the workspace mode and workspace administrator. Mode: The Mode parameter displays the mode of a workspace. DataWorks supports workspaces in basic mode and workspaces in standard mode. We recommend that you use a workspace that is in standard mode for data development. Administrator: The Administrator parameter displays the administrator of a workspace. The workspace administrator can add RAM users to the workspace on the User Management page.	For more information about the differences between the two modes, see Basic mode and standard mode. You can upgrade a workspace from the basic mode to the standard mode. For more information, see Upgrade the workspace mode.
Perform operations related to a workspace	In the area marked with 4 in the preceding figure, you can click one of the items that are displayed to access the related service or perform operations related to a workspace. Shortcuts: You can click a shortcut in the Actions column of a workspace to quickly access the related service. Workspace Settings: You can modify the basic information and basic security settings of a workspace. Engine Configuration: You can modify or maintain the engine information of a workspace. Delete workspace: You can delete a workspace. After a workspace is deleted, the workspace cannot be recovered. Disable workspace: You can disable a workspace that you no longer require. After a workspace is disabled, the nodes in the workspace are no longer automatically scheduled, but the resources of the compute engine instances exist. You may be charged fees for the resources.	Configure a workspace. Compute engine list.
Upgrade the edition of DataWorks	In the area marked with 5 in the preceding figure, the edition upgrade feature is provided. You can click Upgrade to upgrade the edition of DataWorks. DataWorks advanced editions provide a wider range of service capabilities. The service capabilities that are provided by different editions vary.

For more information about the differences between DataWorks editions, see Differences among DataWorks editions.
Purchase exclusive resources	In the area marked with 5 in the preceding figure, you can click Purchase Exclusive Resource to purchase exclusive resources. After the exclusive resources are purchased, you cannot directly see an exclusive resource group. You must click Create Resource Group for Scheduling or Create Resource Group for Data Integration on the Resource Groups page to create an exclusive resource group for scheduling or an exclusive resource group for Data Integration based on the purchased exclusive resources. Note You can directly create an exclusive resource group for DataService Studio based on the order ID.	For more information about the scenarios in which different types of exclusive resource groups are used, see Overview. For more information about the billing of an exclusive resource group for Data Integration, see Overview. For more information about the billing of an exclusive resource group for scheduling, see Overview.

Resource Groups

In the left-side navigation pane, click Resource Groups. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which the resource groups reside. On the Resource Groups page, you can create and manage resource groups.


Operation	Description	References
Create an exclusive resource group	You can create the following types of exclusive resource groups: Exclusive resource group for scheduling: You can create an exclusive resource group for scheduling to schedule batch synchronization nodes and ease scheduling resources constraints. Exclusive resource group for Data Integration: You can create an exclusive resource group for Data Integration to run a data synchronization node. This type of resource group can be used to synchronize data in complex network environments.	Scenarios in which different types of resource groups are used Create and use an exclusive resource group for scheduling Create and use an exclusive resource group for Data Integration Select a network connection solution and configure network connectivity
View basic information about an exclusive resource group	You can view basic information about an exclusive resource group, such as the status, expiration time, and resource usage of the resource group. Status of an exclusive resource group Running: The resource group is in a normal state and can be used to run nodes. Updating: The resource group is being modified. The modifications include scale-out operations, scale-in operations, and specifications change. The modification process may require an extended period of time. Expired: The resource group is expired. A resource group is suspended if the resource group is not renewed upon expiration. Resource usage of a resource group: The real-time usage of the resources in the resource group. If the resource usage of an exclusive resource group is excessively high, you can troubleshoot the issue by referring to View the resource usage of an exclusive resource group.

Lake and Warehouse Integration (Data Lakehouse)

The lakehouse solution is implemented by integrating MaxCompute with a Hadoop cluster or integrating MaxCompute with Data Lake Formation (DLF) and Object Storage Service (OSS). The lakehouse solution enables you to build a data management platform that integrates data lakes and data warehouses. The lakehouse solution integrates the flexibility and broad ecosystem compatibility of data lakes with the enterprise-class deployment capabilities of data warehouses. For more information, see Lakehouse of MaxCompute.
