Link Databricks to System asset

After adding the Databricks data source to Data Access, optionally, link the metastore in the data source to an existing System asset in Catalog. This allows Data Access to automatically map the data objects in the Databricks data source (such as catalogs, schemas, tables, and columns) to the corresponding data assets in Catalog.

Prerequisites

• You have added your data source to Data Access.
• You have a global role with the Data Access > Manage Settings global permission.

Steps

1. On the Data Access landing page, in the left pane, click RESOURCES > Data sources.
2. On the Data Sources page, click the name of the Databricks data source.
3. In the Metastores section, click the data object.
   Note Because a Databricks data source represents a parent Databricks account, which can contain several metastores as child data objects, linking a System asset must happen at the metastore level instead of the account level.
4. On the data object page, in the Details sidebar, click the current value in the System asset field.
   
5. In the Link system asset dialog box, in the System asset field, select the System asset to which you want to link the data source, and then click Link.
   Data Access links the Databricks data source to the selected System asset.

Tip To change the System asset, in the Details sidebar, point to the current value in the System asset field, and then click .
