After purchasing and configuring an exclusive resource group, you can assign it to tasks in your workspace. This topic explains how to change the resource group for synchronization tasks, scheduled nodes, and DataService Studio APIs, and how to associate or disassociate a resource group from a workspace.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure that you have:
-
Purchased and configured an exclusive resource group
-
Associated the resource group with the target workspace (see Associate or disassociate a resource group from a workspace)
Choose your task type
Different task types require different resource group types. Find your task type in the following table and go to the corresponding section.
| Task type | Resource group type | Supported entry points |
|---|---|---|
| Batch synchronization task | Resource group for Data Integration | Data Integration page (single task), Data Studio (single task), or Operation Center (multiple tasks) |
| Real-time synchronization task | Resource group for Data Integration | Data Integration page or Data Studio only — not supported in Operation Center |
| Scheduled node (debug run) | Resource group for scheduling | Data Studio |
| Scheduled node (production scheduling) | Resource group for scheduling | Data Studio (single node) or Operation Center (multiple nodes) |
| DataService Studio API | Resource group for DataService Studio | DataService Studio page |
Usage notes
-
To switch the resource group associated with a workspace, first associate the new resource group, then disassociate the old one. See Appendix: Associate or disassociate a resource group from a workspace.
-
If a resource group is used by deployed tasks, change those tasks to a different resource group before disassociating the resource group from the workspace.
-
Changes made in the development environment are not automatically applied to the production environment. Deploy the affected nodes after making changes. See Node and workflow deployment.
-
To set a default resource group for scheduling or Data Integration across a workspace, go to Data Studio, click the
icon in the lower-left corner, select Data Studio Settings, then click the Scheduling Settings tab. See System settings.
Change resource groups for Data Integration
Change the resource group on the Data Integration page
Use this method to change the resource group for a single synchronization task (batch or real-time).
-
Log on to the DataWorks console. In the top navigation bar, select a region. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Data Integration > Data Integration. Select a workspace from the drop-down list and click Go to Data Integration.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, click Synchronization Task. In the Tasks section, find the task, click More in the Operation column, and select Edit.

-
In the Network and Resource Configuration section, select a resource group from the Resource Group drop-down list and click Test Connectivity. If the test passes, click Next, then click Complete.
Change resource groups in Data Studio
Changes in Data Studio apply to the development environment only. Deploy the task to apply changes to the production environment. See Node and workflow deployment.
Go to the Workspaces page. Find your workspace and choose Shortcuts > Data Studio in the Actions column. In the left-side navigation pane, click the
icon to open Workspace Directories.
Change batch synchronization tasks in Data Studio
-
In Workspace Directories, click a batch synchronization task to open its configuration tab.
-

icon to open Workspace Directories.
-
In Workspace Directories, click a task to open its configuration tab.
-
In the right-side navigation pane, click Run Configuration. Select a resource group from the Resource Group drop-down list.

Click Submit. If submission succeeds, click Publish to publish the APIs.
Appendix: Associate or disassociate a resource group from a workspace
Resource groups, workspaces, and tasks form a binding chain: a resource group must be associated with a workspace before tasks in that workspace can use it. This means you must associate a new resource group with the workspace before assigning it to tasks, and you must reassign tasks away from a resource group before you can disassociate it from the workspace.
If a resource group is not used by any deployed tasks, associate or disassociate it from a workspace as follows:
-
Log on to the DataWorks console. In the top navigation bar, select a region. In the left-side navigation pane, click Resource Group to open the Resource Groups page.
-
Find the resource group and click Associate Workspace in the Actions column.
-
In the Associate Workspace panel, find the workspace and click Associate in the Actions column to associate, or Disassociate to remove the association.
If a resource group is used by deployed tasks in the workspace, disassociating it is blocked. Change those tasks to a different resource group first, then disassociate.
