Lakeflow Connect CDC error, broken links

I get this error, regarding database validation, when setting up a lakeflow connect CDC pipeline (see screenshot). The two links mentioned in the message are broken, they give me a "404 - Content Not Found" when I try to open them.

Youโ€™re not doing anything wrong โ€“ this dialog is actually telling you the fix, the problem is just that the doc links behind it have recently moved (hence the 404s).

Whatโ€™s happening here:

  • Lakeflow Connect created a set of SQL Server utility stored procedures in your source DB (v12demo), e.g.
    lakeflowFixPermissions, lakeflowSetupChangeTracking, lakeflowSetupChangeDataCapture, lakeflowDetectPlatform, lakeflowUtilityVersion_1_1.

  • The ingestion user svc_databricks doesnโ€™t have EXECUTE permission on those procedures.

  • The validation step picks that up and generates the โ€œfix scriptโ€ you see in the screenshot.

So the fix is simply to run that script in the source SQL database, as a user with db_owner (or equivalent) privileges.
