DataStudio lets you set workspace-level defaults for periodic task scheduling — including the time zone, default scheduling cycle, resource groups, and rerun behavior. These defaults apply automatically to new auto triggered tasks, so you don't have to configure each task individually.
Auto triggered tasks are tasks that DataWorks runs on a recurring schedule. Manual tasks are not affected by these settings.
Limitations
Default scheduling settings apply only to new auto triggered tasks. Existing tasks retain their current settings.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
-
A DataWorks workspace with admin permissions
-
At least one auto triggered task to schedule
Configure the default scheduling settings
-
Log on to the DataWorks console. In the top navigation bar, select the target region. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Data Development and Governance > Data Development. Select the target workspace from the drop-down list and click Go to Data Development.
-
In the lower-left corner of the DataStudio page, click the
icon, then click the Scheduling Settings tab. -
Click Change and configure the parameters.
ImportantIf Rerun is set to Allow Regardless of Running Status or Allow upon Failure Only, verify that your tasks are data-idempotent — running a task multiple times must produce the same result. If tasks are not idempotent, multiple reruns can cause data quality issues.
Parameter Description Periodic scheduling Enables or disables periodic scheduling for the workspace. Auto triggered tasks run as scheduled only when this is turned on. If you turn it off, instances already generated for the current day continue to run, but DataWorks stops generating instances for the next day. Time zone for scheduling The time zone used for task scheduling. Defaults to the server time zone. To use UTC+8 for a region outside the Chinese mainland, submit a ticket. Before you modify this parameter, review Create a workspace to understand the impact of the modification. Default scheduling cycle When tasks run. Defaults to a randomly selected time between 00:00and00:30. You can specify a custom scheduling time based on your business requirements.Resource group The default resource group for scheduling tasks. Data integration resource group The default resource group for Data Integration tasks. Rerun The default rerun policy for auto triggered tasks. Number of reruns How many times a failed auto triggered task is rerun. Valid values: 1–10. Rerun interval How long to wait between reruns. Valid values: 1–30 minutes. Enable auto parsing when submitting a file When enabled, DataWorks automatically parses the output names of a committed node and its ancestor nodes based on the latest code.

Click Save.
New auto triggered tasks in the workspace now use the updated settings.
