Issue with connection our Alation instance to Azure Databricks using the Unity Catalog OCF connector

When we try and do the above I am able to get the list of schemas. But when I select one to injest we are then getting issue due to it trying to access system.lineage.table_lineage. When I look in the System catalog I can only see a schema called information schema and this table is not listed.

What I am trying to find out is if this is an issue with Alation or if this schema and table it is trying to use exists but is in beta or private preview or something similar.

Are you using partner connect?

We are working with an agency that is a Databricks partner if that is what you mean.
