Create an Alibaba Cloud Lindorm (Wide Table Engine) Data Source

Add an Alibaba Cloud Lindorm (Wide Table Engine) data source to NineData for Database DevOps, backup and restore, data replication, database comparison, and other supported features. This guide covers connection mode, endpoint settings, encrypted transmission, environment settings, and the connection test.

Before you begin

• The server IP address of NineData has been added to the data source allowlist. The server IP address can be viewed by selecting the target region in Access Region on the Create Datasource page.

  

• Make sure you have available data source quota; otherwise, the data source cannot be added. You can check your remaining quota in the NineData Console header.

Procedure

1. Sign in to the NineData Console.

2. Go to Datasource > Datasource.

3. Click the Datasource tab, and then click Create Datasource. In the data source type dialog, choose Alibaba Cloud > Cloud Datasource > Lindorm (Wide Table Engine). On the Create Datasource page, configure the parameters using the table.

   tip

   If you select the wrong type, click the icon at the top of the Create Datasource page to reselect the data source type.

4. Configure the data source parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Enter a data source name. Use a meaningful name to find and manage it later.
   Connection	Select how NineData connects to the data source. The console supports Private Network and IP Address. Private Network is suitable when a private connection has already been established.
   Architecture Type	The current fixed value is Single.
   Access Method	The current fixed value is Connection Address.
   Connection Address	Enter the Lindorm Wide Table Engine endpoint and port. The default port shown in the console is 3306.
   DB Account	Enter the database login username.
   DB Password	Enter the database login password.
   Access Region	Select the access region closest to the instance.
   Environment	Select the environment tag for the data source, such as Production or Development.
   Encryption	Choose whether to enable encrypted transmission. This option is enabled by default in the console. After expanding it, choose Prefer or Require, and configure SSL Cipher, server certificate validation, server identity validation, and client certificates when needed.

5. After you configure all parameters, click Connection Test next to Create Datasource to test connectivity. When Connection Successfully is displayed, click Create Datasource to create the data source. Otherwise, review the connection settings and run the test again.

Result

After the connection test succeeds and the data source is created, it appears in the data source list and is available to NineData features that support Alibaba Cloud Lindorm (Wide Table Engine).
