Step 1: Create a personal access token within Databricks

In this step we will confirm that the ability to create personal access tokens is enabled within your Databricks workspace, then create one for your Databricks user. (Required for the next step.) Personal access tokens are used to authenticate to and access Databricks REST APIs.

    1. In the Workspace ID field, enter your Databricks workspace ID. See tip below on how to locate it.

      TIP
      The quickest way to locate your Databricks workspace ID is to copy it from the web URL. Sign in to your Databricks workspace and look at the URL displayed in your browser’s address bar. The workspace ID is the long series of numbers displayed at the end of the web URL after o=. For example, in this URL: https://dbc-c94690a5-8580.cloud.databricks.com/browse?o=4135841184671186, the Databricks workspace ID is 4135841184671186.

    2. In the Workspace Name field, enter a human-readable term to identify your workspace later. For example, ACME-Workspace.
    3. In the Instance(Region) URL field, enter your Databricks workspace URL. See tip below on how to locate it.

      TIP
      The quickest way to locate your Databricks workspace URL is to copy it from the web URL. Sign in to your Databricks workspace and look at the URL displayed in your browser’s address bar. The workspace URL is the long character and number string displayed before the forward slash (/). For example, in this URL: https://dbc-c94690a5-8580.cloud.databricks.com/browse?o=4135841184671186, the Databricks workspace URL is https://dbc-c94690a5-8580.cloud.databricks.com.

    4. In the Tier field, select your Databricks workspace subscription plan from the available radio button options. You will need to get this from your Databricks Administrator. See tip below on how to locate it.

      TIP
      The quickest way to locate your Databricks workspace subscription plan is to go to the Administrator Account Console (not the Databricks Platform) and select Settings from the vertical menu. Your current plan will be displayed on the default Subscriptions & billing tab. Contact your Databricks Administrator should you need help.

    5. In the Token field, enter your personal access token you generated from Step 1: Create a personal access token within Databricks.
    6. Select the Save button. Unravel will need a few minutes to add your new Databricks workspace. Do not refresh this page or close this dialog box.
    7. Congrats, your Databricks workspace is now connected to Unravel. Almost done!
