DataWorks:Activate DataWorks

Activate DataWorks

When you activate DataWorks, you must select the region where the required services and resources are deployed, a DataWorks edition, a subscription duration, and the virtual private cloud (VPC) with which the resources are associated. This section describes the common procedure of activating DataWorks.

1. Go to the buy page of DataWorks.

   Go to the product page of DataWorks and click Buy Now or Advanced Edition to go to the buy page of DataWorks.

   Note

   If you have purchased a specific edition of DataWorks in the current region, you can log on to the DataWorks console and click Purchased Resources and Services or Resource Groups in the left-side navigation pane to purchase required services and resources.

2. Configure the parameters for the services and resources that you want to purchase.

   Configure the parameters as prompted. The following table describes the parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   Region	Select the region in which you want to purchase an edition and a resource group of DataWorks. You can use DataWorks services in a region only after you purchase an edition and a resource group in the region. Note If you want to use the service capabilities that are provided by the edition and the resource group in multiple regions, you must purchase the edition and the resource group in the regions.
   DataWorks	Select a DataWorks edition and configure the Subscription Duration parameter. DataWorks provides the following editions: Basic Edition: This edition is free of charge and is suitable for students and big data beginners. Standard Edition, Professional Edition, and Enterprise Edition: These are advanced editions that provide more abundant service capabilities than Basic Edition and can meet the business requirements of different users. You are charged based on the subscription billing method for these editions. For more information, see Billing of DataWorks editions. Note If you purchase an advanced edition in a region and do not select Auto-renewal, the advanced edition is downgraded to Basic Edition in the region after the advanced edition expires. For more information, see Feature downgrades of DataWorks advanced editions upon expiration.
   DataWorks Resource Group	Select a resource group and configure network information. Resource type: The first time you activate DataWorks in a region, the system automatically purchases a pay-as-you-go resource group of the new version. You cannot cancel the purchase operation. You can specify a resource group name based on your business requirements. Note After you purchase a pay-as-you-go resource group of the new version, you are charged based on the amount of resources that are consumed by different operations in DataWorks, such as task development, scheduling of auto triggered tasks, data synchronization, data quality monitoring, and calling of DataService Studio APIs. For more information, see Overview of the pay-as-you-go billing method in DataWorks. Resource groups of the new version support the subscription and pay-as-you-go billing methods. The features and costs of a resource group of the new version vary based on the billing method that the resource group uses. If you have purchased a specific edition of DataWorks in the current region, you can select a billing method based on your business requirements when you purchase a resource group of the new version. Network configurations: Specify the VPC and vSwitch that are associated with the resource group. The VPC and vSwitch need to be used when you connect the resource group to a data source and perform data development operations. If you activate DataWorks for the first time in the current region, the system automatically creates a default VPC and a default vSwitch and associates the resource group with the VPC and vSwitch. Important Do not change the default configurations of the VPC and vSwitch that are created by DataWorks. If you change the configurations of the VPC and vSwitch, related tasks may fail. If the default VPC and vSwitch cannot meet your business requirements, you can create a VPC and a vSwitch in the VPC console. For more information about VPC, see What is VPC? Service-linked role: You must create the following service-linked role as prompted before you can purchase a resource group of the new version. Role name: AliyunServiceRoleForDataWorks Policy: AliyunServiceRolePolicyForDataWorks

3. After you confirm that the configurations are correct, read the terms of service and select the check box for Terms of Service.

4. Confirm the order.

   1. Click Confirm Order and Pay. In the Verify Resources dialog box, view the details of the order.

   2. After the resources are verified, click Next: View Price List to confirm the price of the order.

      Note

      The price list includes the fees for the DataWorks edition, the resource group of the new version, MaxCompute, and other DataWorks pay-as-you-go resources and features.

   3. In the Price List dialog box, confirm the price and click Next Step: Create Order.
