DataWorks:Intelligent data modeling billing

Last Updated:Nov 14, 2025

Intelligent data modeling is billed on a subscription basis. Fees are calculated based on the number of objects that you create in the product. You can purchase different editions of intelligent data modeling as needed.

Notes

  • To purchase the intelligent data modeling product, you must have an active DataWorks subscription or purchase a new one. For more information about how to purchase DataWorks editions, see Software edition selection and billing.

  • To use OpenAPI for intelligent data modeling, you must have active subscriptions for both DataWorks and the intelligent data modeling product.

Billing calculation

The pricing for data modeling editions is based on the number of objects. The calculation method is as follows.

Number of objects = Total number of logical models + ROUNDUP(Total number of derived metrics / 10) + ROUNDUP(Total number of compound indicators / 10)
Important

Only objects that are created and successfully submitted in the intelligent data modeling module are billed.

Object type

Calculation rule

Counted as objects

Logical models (including dimension tables, detail tables, aggregate tables, and application table models)

Excludes models in the ODS layer.

Counted individually

Each model counts as 1 object

Derived metric

Grouped in sets of 10. A group of less than 10 is counted as one set.

Each set counts as 1 object

Compound indicator

Grouped in sets of 10. A group of less than 10 is counted as one set.

Each set counts as 1 object

Example: If you create and submit 15 logical models, 23 derived metrics, and 8 compound indicators, the number of objects is calculated as follows: 15 + ROUNDUP(23/10) + ROUNDUP(8/10) = 15 + 3 + 1 = 19.
