DataWorks Data Development

❗ 5-SECOND SUMMARY — Read This First

Credentials: Run aliyun configure list first. The CLI is almost always pre-configured (STS token). Do NOT search for credential files — just check the CLI config.

Install plugin first: Run aliyun plugin install --names dataworks-public. All commands use plugin mode (kebab-case): aliyun dataworks-public create-node ...

APIs: create-workflow-definition → create-node (per node) → create-pipeline-run (deploy). For updates: update-node → create-pipeline-run. NEVER use deploy-file, submit-file, create-file, create-business.

FlowSpec: Copy the exact JSON from the "Quick Start" section below. Do NOT guess the format. version is "2.0.0", kind is "CycleWorkflow" or "Node". Common wrong values: apiVersion, type, Workflow, metadata — all wrong.

Publish after update: update-node → create-pipeline-run(type=Online) → poll get-pipeline-run → exec-pipeline-run-stage. deploy-file does NOT work.

⚡ MANDATORY: Read Before Any API Call

These absolute rules are NOT optional — violating ANY ONE means the task WILL FAIL:

Pre-check: Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3 required
