[Microsoft][ThriftExtension] (12) Error occurred while contacting server:

Hi @Elf ,

Please test your environment to see if it meets the needs of:

  • Your Azure Databricks account must be on the Premium Plan. This is because Partner Connect uses Databricks SQL, which is available only on this plan. To view your Azure Databricks account details, see Manage your subscription.
  • To create new connections to partner solutions, you must first sign in to your workspace as an Azure Databricks admin. For information about Azure Databricks admins, see Manage users.
  • For all other Partner Connect tasks, you must first sign in to your workspace as an Azure Databricks admin; or an Azure Databricks user who has at least the Workspace access entitlement and, if you are working with SQL endpoints, the Databricks SQL access entitlement. For more information, see Manage users.

And detail operation refer:

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!


Best Regards

Lucien

@Elf , You need to make sure the access method is correct, I doubt that. Hope you do not have a token access method

Share with Power BI Enthusiasts: Full Power BI Video (20 Hours) YouTube
Microsoft Fabric Series 60+ Videos YouTube
Microsoft Fabric Hindi End to End YouTube

I've tried every access methods had. Username/Password, Access Token(Generate from databricks) and AAD Neither ways is working. It still producing same error.
