Comparison Between Workspace Modes

This section compares the simple mode and enterprise mode from three core dimensions: architecture design, workflow, and permissions control, helping you quickly understand the differences between the two modes.

Core Differences

Dimension

Simple Mode

Enterprise Mode

Difference

Environment architecture

Only the production environment

Development and production environments, which are isolated from each other

In enterprise mode, physical isolation is used to prevent misoperations.

Publishing mechanism

Scripts and jobs take effect and can be scheduled upon submission.

Scripts and jobs developed and submitted must be approved and published before they can be scheduled. There is a complete pipeline.

The enterprise mode requires the approval phase, ensuring stability.

Roles

Admin and developer

Admin, developer, deployer, and operator

The enterprise mode enables separation of duties.

Data security

Developers can directly read and write production data.

Developers can only access the data in the development environment.

The enterprise mode prevents production data from being deleted or modified by mistake.

Workflow Comparison

  • In the simple mode, you cannot isolate the development environment from the production environment in the DataArts Factory and Management Center modules of DataArts Studio. Instead, you can only perform simple data development operations. After submitting a script or job, you do not need to release it. The script or job can be periodically executed to generate result data.
    Figure 1 Workflow in simple mode

  • In this mode, you can isolate the development environment from the production environment in the DataArts Factory and Management Center modules of DataArts Studio. This prevents developers' operations from affecting services in the production environment. The development environment is accessible only to developers for script and job development and release of scripts and jobs to the production environment. The production environment is accessible only to end users and allows no change. Any change that is required must be made in the development environment and released to the production environment again.

Operations for Different Components

The following table lists the operations for Management Center and DataArts Factory of DataArts Studio in the two modes.

Table 1 Operations for Management Center and DataArts Factory in the two modes

Component

Simple Mode

Enterprise Mode

Management Center

Perform operations in the production environment (data connection operations and data import and export).

Perform operations in the development and production environments (data source resource mapping configuration, data connection operations, and data import and export)

DataArts Factory

Perform operations on instances and databases in the production environment.

Perform operations on instances and databases in the development and production environments.

DataArts Migration, DataArts Architecture, and DataArts Quality provide basically the same functions in the two modes. In enterprise mode, they adapt to work with DataArts Factory.

Table 2 Operations for other components in the two modes

Component

Simple Mode

Enterprise Mode

DataArts Migration

Create and run offline or real-time migration jobs in the DataArts Factory production environment.

Create and run offline or real-time migration jobs in the DataArts Factory development or production environment.

DataArts Architecture

Publish physical models (table creation) and synchronize them to the DataArts Factory production environment.

Publish physical models (table creation) and synchronize them to the DataArts Factory development or production environment.

DataArts Quality

Add quality jobs as nodes or subjobs to a scheduling flow and run them in the DataArts Factory production environment.

Add quality jobs as nodes or subjobs to a scheduling flow and run them in the DataArts Factory development or production environment.
