Accessing Business Context Integrations​

To begin, navigate to the Organization Settings and click on Integrations. From there, select Business Contexts to proceed with setting up your Databricks integration.

Below is an example of the integrations page:
Business Context Integrations Interface

This page provides access to configure and manage integrations with your Business Contexts tools.

The list of integrations will indicate whether there are any active integrations or if the tools are not yet integrated. Active integrations will be marked accordingly, allowing you to easily identify the current status of each integration.

Step 1: Enter S3 Bucket Details​

Integrate Databricks with Business Contexts

To configure the S3 bucket for nOps file uploads, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Correct AWS Account

    • From the dropdown, select the AWS account where the S3 bucket resides.

  2. Enter Bucket Details

    • Bucket Name: Enter the name of your existing S3 bucket or create a new one.
    • Prefix: Specify a unique prefix (e.g., nops/) to ensure nOps only accesses files meant for the integration.
    important

    If you already have an S3 bucket configured for Databricks to write files, it’s recommended to use that bucket to avoid additional setup steps on Databricks.

    • If you don’t have an S3 bucket configured this way, follow these setup instructions to create the bucket and set it up in Databricks.

  3. Save the Configuration

    • Once the account, bucket name, and prefix are entered, click Setup to store these details.

  4. Redirect to CloudFormation Setup

    • After clicking Setup, you will be automatically redirected to create a CloudFormation stack for granting necessary permissions.
    important

    Make sure to be logged in the account selected to proceed with the following step.

Step 2: Deploy CloudFormation Stack​

  1. On the redirected page, the parameters should be prefilled.
    • Click on the checkbox to acknowledge the creation of IAM resources and click Create stack User Acknowledgement of Automated Resource Creation
note

Ensure the stack is deployed successfully. This step is crucial for nOps to access your data.
