Check Warehouse Details

In the warehouse selector, you can see all the warehouses you are permitted to check.

The warehouse selector will display each warehouse's name, cloud platform, region, and status. The ticked one is your current warehouse.

Hover the cursor over a warehouse, and you will see a pop-up card, which displays the name, ID, core version, cloud platform, region, zone and organization of the warehouse.

Note

  • Warehouse ID coding rules: have 8 characters, consisting of uppercase letters and numbers. The first 4 letters represent the cloud platform & region (e.g. US East (N. Virginia) of AWS, AWVA), and the last 4 letters represent the warehouse by a random combination of letters and numbers (such as X7NG).

Switch Current Warehouse

In the warehouse selector, you can scroll and find your target warehouse and switch to it by a simple click.

Upgrade to Paid Warehouse

If you want to reuse the trial warehouse's data, connections, and other configurations, you can go to the Settings page from the navigation bar on the left and click Upgrade to convert to a paid warehouse.

Warning If the trial warehouse is not upgraded to a paid warehouse, it will be automatically deleted after the end of the 7-day trial, together with all its resources and data, which cannot be recovered.

Change Warehouse Name

You can change the warehouse name on the Settings page. Please enter a new warehouse name (self-explanatory names are recommended) and press Enter to confirm the modification.

Warning The warehouse name must be unique within the current organization, with a maximum of 32 characters. It only supports Chinese, letters, numbers, _ and -

Change Warehouse Password

The username and password are required when connecting to a warehouse. You can initialize or reset the password on the Settings page.

Warning The password only supports uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special characters ~!@#$%^&*()_+|&lt&gt,.?/:;'[]", need to contain at least 3 of them, length 8-20 characters.

Operation and Maintenance Time Window

Operation and Maintenance Time Window refers to the time window during which system maintenance or user scheduled tasks (operation requests) can be performed. For example, if you set the core to automatically upgrade the patch version, the system will automatically upgrade the core version to the latest stable patch version during the maintenance time window.

The default maintenance time window is 02:00 ~ 03:00 every day, and the default time zone is UTC+0. You can modify it on the Settings page according to business conditions, usually during the business trough.

Each warehouse can set a separate maintenance time window. The start time and end time are only accurate to the hour, and the end time must be greater than the start time.

Upgrade Core Version

Manually Upgrade Core Version

If the core version of the current warehouse is too old to meet the business requirements, or you want to experience new features, you can upgrade the core version on the Settings page.

Switch to Manually Upgrade Core Version, select the target version, select Execute Now or Execute Later, and confirm.

If you select Execute Now, the system will immediately execute the core version upgrade task

If you select Execute Later, you can choose "O&M Time Window" or "Other Time Window", and the system will perform the core version upgrade task at the specified time.

You can view the scheduled event on the Message Center page. If the scheduled execution time window is not suitable, you can modify it before execution.

After the upgrade starts, the "Running" warehouse status changes to "Upgrading", and the background will automatically complete the version upgrade process, which takes about 1 minute to complete. After the version upgrade is completed, the warehouse status will change from "Upgrading" back to "Running".

Notice:

  1. If the warehouse has a cluster other than "Running" and "Stopped", manual upgrade will fail if you choose to execute now. Please confirm that the cluster status meets the requirements before operating.
  2. If the warehouse has an unfinished core version upgrade task, the system will not be able to perform manual upgrade operations. Please confirm that the version upgrade event has been completed or canceled and try again.
  3. Upgrading the core version will interrupt services for about 1 minute. Please perform the upgrade during off-peak hours and ensure that the application has the reconnection mechanism.
  4. When upgrading the core version, the system will automatically start the cluster in the stopped state, and after the upgrade is completed, the system will automatically restore it to the stopped state.

Set Patch Version Upgrade Policy

When creating a warehouse, or after the warehouse is created, in Settings > Upgrade Core Version > Patch Version Upgrade Policy, you can set two strategies for minor versions: Auto Upgrade or Manually Upgrade.

  • If you select "Auto Upgrade", the system will automatically upgrade the core version to the latest stable patch version during the O&M Time Window (major and minor versions still require manual upgrade). You can view the scheduled event on the Message Center page. If the scheduled execution time window is not suitable, you can modify it before execution.
  • If you select "Manually Upgrade", you can also choose to execute immediately or in a specified time window (upgrade to the selected target version). If you choose to execute in a specified time window, you can view the scheduled event on the Message Center page. If the scheduled execution time window is not suitable, you can modify it before execution.

Delete Current Warehouse

Since deleting a warehouse is a high-risk operation, we need to make sure that you understand the impact of the deletion and confirm it through email verification code.

You can delete the current warehouse on the Settings page.

Warning Deleting a warehouse involves the deletion of all its resources and data, which cannot be recovered.

Delete current BYOC warehouse and Destroy the BYOC infrastructure

If the current BYOC warehouse is the last warehouse in the VPC, deleting the current warehouse will also destroy the BYOC infrastructure.

Please refer to the following steps for deletion operations on each cloud platform:

AWS

After clicking Delete, it is expected to take 5 minutes, please wait patiently.

After the warehouse is deleted, click Cloud Platform, enter AWS CloudFormation, and continue to delete the resource stack to destroy the BYOC basic environment.

1. Clear the bucket

Enter the resource stack to be deleted, switch to the Resources tab, search Bucket, click to enter the bucket, and remember the name.

Return to the bucket list, select the bucket. Click Empty. Input permanently delete. Click Empty.

Note: The empty bucket operation cannot be restored. Confirm that there are no files to be retained before the operation.

2. Delete the resource stack

Return to the resource stack, click Delete, and wait for the deletion to complete.

GCP

After clicking Delete, it is expected to take 5 minutes, please wait patiently.

After the warehouse is deleted, copy the command, click Cloud platform, enter GCP CloudShell, and continue to delete the resource stack to destroy the BYOC basic environment.

If you see Resources: xx destoryed in the execution result and xx is not 0, it means that the resources are destroyed successfully. Otherwise, Get Help.
