Connect to AtScale

AtScale's semantic layer delivers a single source of governed metrics and KPIs, tied to live lakehouse data and to BI tools including Excel, Tableau, and Power BI.

You can connect Databricks SQL warehouses (formerly Databricks SQL endpoints) and Azure Databricks clusters to AtScale.

Connect to AtScale manually

This section describes how to connect to AtScale manually.

Requirements

Before you connect to AtScale manually, you must have the following:

• An AtScale account.

• A cluster or SQL warehouse in your Azure Databricks workspace.

  • Compute configuration reference.
  • Create a SQL warehouse.

• The connection details for your cluster or SQL warehouse, specifically the Server Hostname, Port, and HTTP Path values.

  • Get connection details for an Azure Databricks compute resource.

• An Azure Databricks personal access token. To create a personal access token, follow the steps in Azure Databricks personal access tokens for workspace users.

  Note

  As a security best practice, when you authenticate with automated tools, systems, scripts, and apps, Databricks recommends that you use personal access tokens belonging to service principals instead of workspace users. To create tokens for service principals, see Manage tokens for a service principal.
