Frequently asked questions for mirrored databases from Azure Databricks (preview) in Microsoft Fabric (Preview)

This article answers frequently asked questions about mirrored databases from Azure Databricks (preview) in Microsoft Fabric.

I am unable to create a new connection to my Databricks Workspace using the Connect to Azure Databricks Workspace wizard.

Try these steps to resolve a connection issue.

  1. Select the Settings button in your workspace.
  2. Locate and select the Manage connections and gateways.
  3. Select New in the workspace.
  4. Select Cloud Object.
  5. Provide a Connection name.
  6. For Connection type, search for or type "Azure Databricks workspace".
  7. Paste your Databricks workspace URL into the URL field.
  8. Select Edit credentials and select your auth ID.
  9. Select Create.
  10. You can now go back to the Workspace landing page select New Item+ from the workspace then select Mirrored Azure Databricks catalog.
  11. This returns you to the wizard. You can now choose the Existing connection radial and choose the connection you created.

What if I cannot perform an action because there is already existing sync in progress?

In the event the catalog is performing a metadata sync and Manage catalog is selected, you could be blocked from modifying the catalog until the sync is complete. Wait for the sync to complete and try Manage catalog again.
