Databricks Connection Method

Use Databricks connection method for adding targets.

Databricks connection methods use the Databricks Connect client library for IDEs, the JDBC/ODBC drivers for BI tools like Excel, and, HTTP connections for connecting to external services (for example, IBM's Watsonx). When you use the Databricks connection method you set the authentication method and additional details about the connection.

After specifying Target Details, set the Connection Method to Databricks.
Select Next: Add/Verify Parameters.

2. Enter an Access Token.
3. Alternately, you can use a Service Principal as the Authentication Type for the connection. In this scenario, you'll authenticate using service principals for programmatic access.
4. For the Service Principal authentication type, specify the Client ID and enter the corresponding Secret.
