DataWorks:Bind an OpenSearch computing resource

Last Updated:Aug 23, 2025

To use DataWorks to develop and manage OpenSearch tasks, you must first bind your OpenSearch instance as a computing resource in DataWorks. After the instance is bound, you can use the computing resource for data synchronization and development operations.

Prerequisites

  • You have purchased an OpenSearch Vector Search Edition instance.

    Note

    When you purchase an OpenSearch Vector Search Edition instance, make sure to select the same Region as your DataWorks workspace. You cannot bind the instance to the workspace if their regions are different.

  • You have created a workspace in DataWorks. The RAM user who performs the operation must be added to the workspace and assigned the Workspace Administrator role.

    Important

    This feature is supported only in workspaces that are in the Public Preview of the New DataStudio.

  • You have attached a resource group to the workspace and ensured network connectivity.

Limits

  • Supported products: You can bind only OpenSearch Vector Search Edition instances as OpenSearch computing resources.

  • Supported regions: China (Hangzhou), China (Shanghai), China (Beijing), China (Shenzhen), China (Hong Kong), Singapore, and Germany (Frankfurt).

  • Permissions:

    Operator

    Required permissions

    Alibaba Cloud account

    No additional permissions are required.

    RAM user or RAM role

    Only workspace members who have the O&M and Workspace Administrator roles, or workspace members who have the AliyunDataWorksFullAccess permission can create computing resources. For more information, see Grant a user the permissions of a workspace administrator.

Go to the computing resource list page

  1. Log on to the DataWorks console. Switch to the destination region. In the navigation pane on the left, choose More > Management Center. From the drop-down list, select your workspace and click Go To Management Center.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, click Computing Resources.

Bind an OpenSearch computing resource

On the computing resource list page, configure the required parameters to bind an OpenSearch computing resource.

  1. Select a computing resource type.

    1. Click Bind Computing Resource to open the Bind Computing Resource page.

    2. On the Bind Computing Resource page, set the computing resource type to OpenSearch. This opens the Bind OpenSearch Computing Resource configuration page.

  2. Configure the OpenSearch computing resource.

    On the Bind OpenSearch Computing Resource page, use the following table to configure the parameters.

    Parameter

    Description

    OpenSearch Instance

    Select an OpenSearch instance that you purchased. You can also click Create in the drop-down list to go to the OpenSearch purchase page and purchase an OpenSearch Vector Search Edition instance.

    Note

    If you chose to isolate the production and development environments when you created the workspace, select separate OpenSearch instances for each environment.

    Username

    Enter the username that you configured when you created the OpenSearch instance. To view the username, go to the OpenSearch Instance Management page.

    Password

    Enter the password that you configured when you created the OpenSearch instance.

    Computing Resource Instance Name

    Enter a custom name for the computing resource. At runtime, this name is used to select the computing resource for a task.

  3. Test the network connection.

    In the connection configuration section, select the resource group that DataWorks uses to run offline OpenSearch sync tasks. Click Test Connectivity to verify that the resource group can access your OpenSearch instance. For more information, see Network connectivity solutions.

  4. Click Confirm.

Note

When you bind an OpenSearch computing resource, the system automatically creates an OpenSearch data source with the same name in the Data Source section of the current workspace.

What to do next

After you configure the OpenSearch computing resource, you can use it to develop offline sync tasks in a Data Integration > Offline Synchronization node in Data Development. For more information, see Offline synchronization nodes.
