Management Center

Management Center is the administrative hub of DataWorks. Use it to set up your environment, manage workspaces and resource groups, and configure tenant-level data governance settings.

Management Center operates at two levels:

• Tenant level: Settings that apply across all workspaces in the current region, such as alert rules and member roles.

• Workspace level: Settings scoped to individual workspaces, such as compute resource attachments, data sources, and member access.

Key concepts

Three entities form the foundation of Management Center.

Workspace

A workspace is the fundamental unit for project management, access control, and resource isolation in DataWorks. All data development, task scheduling, and member management happen inside a workspace. Workspaces are strongly isolated — nodes, resources, and members are independent across workspaces.

Resource group

A resource group provides the compute capacity for running tasks. It exists independently of workspaces and must be attached to one or more workspaces before tasks can run.

Compute resource

A compute resource provides the syntax parsing, compilation, and execution environment for the Data Development module. It is associated with a resource group.

The following diagram shows how these entities relate:

Workspace ← attached to ← Resource group → Compute resource

Workspaces sit at the center. Resource groups must be attached to workspaces. Compute resources belong to resource groups and power task execution.

Get started

If this is your first time configuring DataWorks, complete these steps in order:

1. Create a workspace.

2. Purchase and configure a resource group.

3. Attach the resource group to the workspace.

4. Add members to the workspace.

5. Attach a compute resource.

Workspace list

The workspace list is the default view when you open the DataWorks console. From here you can:

• Create workspaces.

• View workspace details such as region, type, and status.

• Manage workspace members, data sources, and configurations.

• Open Management Center for a specific workspace.

Resource group list

In the left navigation pane, click Resource Group to open the resource group list. From here you can:

• Purchase resource groups for a specific region.

• View the details and status of purchased resource groups.

• Attach or detach resource groups from workspaces.

Tenant-level configuration

The following settings apply to all workspaces in the current region. Access them by choosing More > Management Center in the navigation bar.
