DataWorks:Associate an EMR Serverless StarRocks computing resource

Last Updated:May 25, 2026

To develop and manage EMR Serverless StarRocks tasks in DataWorks, you must first associate your EMR Serverless StarRocks instance as a computing resource. Once associated, you can use the resource for data development.

Prerequisites

Limitations

  • Region limitations: China (Hangzhou), China (Shanghai), China (Beijing), China (Shenzhen), China (Hong Kong), Japan (Tokyo), Singapore, Indonesia (Jakarta), Germany (Frankfurt), US (Silicon Valley), and US (Virginia).

  • Permission limitations:

    User role

    Required permissions

    Alibaba Cloud account

    No additional permissions are required.

    RAM user or RAM role

    Only workspace members with the O&M or Workspace Administrator role, or those with the AliyunDataWorksFullAccess permission, can create computing resources. For more information, see Grant the workspace administrator role to a user.

Go to the computing resource list page

  1. Log on to the DataWorks console. In the navigation pane on the left, switch to the target region and click More > Management Center. Select your workspace from the drop-down list and click Go to Management Center.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, click Computing Resources to open the computing resource list page.

Associate a Serverless StarRocks computing resource

On the computing resource list page, associate a Serverless StarRocks computing resource.

  1. Select a computing resource type to associate.

    1. Click Associate Computing Resources to go to the Associate Computing Resources page.

    2. On the Associate Computing Resources page, select the computing resource type as Serverless StarRocks to go to the Associate EMR Serverless StarRocks Computing Resource configuration page.

  2. Configure the Serverless StarRocks computing resource.

    On the Associate EMR Serverless StarRocks Computing Resource configuration page, configure the parameters described in the following table.

    Parameter

    Description

    Configuration Mode

    ApsaraDB for RDS and User-created Data Store with Public IP Addresses. Configure the corresponding parameters based on the configuration mode you select.

    ApsaraDB for RDS

    Instance

    Select the EMR Serverless StarRocks instance to associate. You can also click Create in the drop-down list to create an EMR Serverless StarRocks instance.

    Note

    If you selected to isolate the production and development environments when you created the workspace, you must select separate StarRocks instances for the production and development environments.

    Database Name

    Select a database in the EMR Serverless StarRocks instance. If no database is available, create one in the EMR Serverless StarRocks instance.

    Authentication Method

    Enterprise Edition supports multiple options. Non-Enterprise Edition supports only the Account and Password method.

    When the authentication method is set to Task Owner, the DataWorks tenant administrator of Enterprise Edition must add identity credentials in Security Center to map RAM accounts to engine accounts. If users need to request and approve StarRocks permissions in DataWorks, the tenant administrator must also configure the permission management settings in Security Center.

    Username

    The account and password that you specified when you created the EMR Serverless StarRocks instance. The default account is admin. If you forgot the password, you can click Reset Password on the instance details page.

    Password

    User-created Data Store with Public IP Addresses

    Host Address/IP Address

    The IP address of the StarRocks FE.

    Port

    The query port of the StarRocks FE. The default value is 9030. Set this parameter based on the configuration on the StarRocks side.

    Load URL

    The address of the StarRocks FE for StreamLoad. Format: FE_IP:FE_HTTP. Separate multiple FE addresses with commas.

    Note

    FE_IP supports only internal IP addresses, not public IP addresses. The FE_HTTP port is typically 8030 or 18030. Set this parameter based on the configuration on the StarRocks side.

    Database Name

    Select a database in the EMR Serverless StarRocks instance. If no database is available, create one in the SQL query editor of the EMR Serverless StarRocks instance.

    Username

    The account and password that you specified when you created the EMR Serverless StarRocks instance. The default account is admin. If you forgot the password, you can click Reset Password on the instance details page.

    Password

    Advanced Parameters

    Optional. You can click Add Property to add property parameters. For more information, see the official MySQL documentation.

    Computing Resource Instance Name

    Used to identify the computing resource. When a task runs, the computing resource is selected by this instance name.

  3. Test network connectivity.

    In the Connection Configuration section, select the resource group that DataWorks uses to run StarRocks node tasks, and click Test Connectivity to ensure that the resource group can access your EMR Serverless StarRocks instance. For more information, see Network connectivity solutions.

  4. Click Confirm to complete the Serverless StarRocks computing resource configuration.

    Note

    When you associate a Serverless StarRocks computing resource, the system automatically creates a Serverless StarRocks data source with the same name in the Data Sources section of the current workspace.

Next steps

After you configure the Serverless StarRocks computing resource, you can perform data development in the corresponding nodes in Data Studio.
