Overview

You must create Databricks accounts to connect to Databricks Snaps in your Pipelines with the source or target CDWs (databases). This account enables you to write-and-transform data in the target databases hosted in the cloud locations listed in the following table. The JDBC URL you configure for your target database indicates the respective cloud location where the database is hosted. You can configure your Databricks accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.

Limitations

• With the basic authentication type for Databricks Lakehouse Platform (DLP) reaching its end of life on July 10, 2024, SnapLogic Databricks pipelines designed to use this authentication type to connect to DLP instances would cease to succeed. We recommend that you reconfigure the corresponding Snap accounts to use the Personal access tokens (PAT) authentication type.

Supported JDBC JAR Version

You can configure your Databricks Account to automatically use the recommended JDBC JAR file - databricks-jdbc-2.6.25-1.jar for connecting to your target DLP instance and performing the load and transform operations. 

Snap-Account Compatibility

Snaps in the Databricks Snap Pack work with the different accounts and protocols in the following table:
