Create MaxCompute Datasource

NineData supports adding data sources of different types and environments to the console for centralized management. After a datasource is added, you can use features such as Database DevOps, Backup and Restore, Data Replication, and Data Comparison. This topic describes how to add an Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute datasource to NineData.

Prerequisites​

  • 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 quickly check your remaining quota at the top-right corner of the NineData console.check_quota

Procedure​

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Datasource > Datasource.

  3. On the Datasource tab, click Create Datasource. In the datasource type dialog box, choose Alibaba Cloud > Cloud Datasource > MaxCompute, and then configure the parameters on the Create Datasource page using the table.

  4. Configure the datasource parameters:
