Conversational Agent App integration with genie in Databricks

Hi,

I have recently explore the feature of conversational agent app from marketplace integration with Genie Space.

The connection setup went well but I could find sync issue between the app and genie space. Even after multiple deployment I couldn't see any sync on the app from the genie space.

Is this a expected behavior or anything wrong here?

Hi @Nidhig,

This isn’t expected behavior,it usually happens when the app's service principal lacks permissions to access the SQL warehouse, Genie Space, or underlying Unity Catalog tables.

Try these fixes:

--> SQL Warehouse: Go to Compute -> SQL Warehouses -> Permissions and grant your app's service principal (CAN USE) access.
--> Genie Space: Under Settings -> Permissions, add the same service principal and give it CAN USE access.
--> Unity Catalog: Ensure it has USE SCHEMA and SELECT on tables Genie queries.

After updating permissions, redeploy the app:
databricks apps deploy <app-name>

That usually resolves sync issues between Genie Space and the conversational agent app.

Hi @HariSankar ,

The issue related to conversation agent app by Databricks integration with genie is fixed now.
Seems there was bug before, yesterday I tried the same steps as previous. The app is working as expected no re-deployment needed and sync is automated.

No manual permission we have to grant from anywhere during step up process the permission grant option will pop up and just select and proceed ahead with the setup.
Thanks Databricks for the fix.
