DLT Direct Publishing Mode

[804082]

Hello,

I'm working on a DLT pipeline and have a block of SQL that runs...

USE CATALOG catalog_a;
USE SCHEMA schema_a;
CREATE OR REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW table_a AS
SELECT ... FROM catalog_b.schema_b.table_b;

Executing this block returns the following...

com.databricks.pipelines.common.errors.DLTSparkException: [UNSUPPORTED_COMMAND_IN_NON_DPM_PIPELINE] USE CATALOG only supported in direct publishing mode enabled DLT pipeline

I can't find any documentation or mention of this error, or anything about enabling "direct publishing mode". Any idea as to how to do that? Or is there another recommended/possible way to create a materialized view using data from another catalog?

Thanks in advance.

Direct Publishing Mode is a Private Preview feature. 

Till it becomes Public Preview or GA, please remove the USE Catalog and Use Schema and try catalog.schema.view

Ah, thank you! I couldn't find anything about Direct Publishing Mode through my Google search (in fact, if you search it now, this post is the top result).

I believe I'll be waiting until it goes into public preview/GA. Removing USE CATALOG and USE SCHEMA, and instead using catalog.schema.view, returns...

org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.ExtendedAnalysisException: Unsupported SQL statement for table 'catalog.schema.view': Multipart table names is not supported.

I'm still running into issues like the op, getting the same error and have confirmed Direct Publishing Mode is set to True in the pipeline definition

@Dorsey Make sure to enable DPM from the Preview page. Can you confirm the region of your workspace?

I'm in EastUS and i don't have that option on my previews page. Also it only works with serverless?
