Data Management Process

The data management function helps you quickly establish data models and provides you with data entities for script and job development. With data management, you can:

Manage multiple types of data lakes, such as DWS and MRS Hive.
Use the GUI and DDL to manage database tables.

If you have created a data connection and a corresponding database and data table by referring to Preparations Before Using DataArts Studio before using DataArts Factory, you can skip data management operations and directly go to Script Development or Job Development.

The following figure shows the process for using the data management function.
