Microsoft Purview

Configure LineageAdvisor connector

This wizard simulates the install path: source selection, Microsoft Entra consent, Purview target selection, optional Databricks and/or Power BI scopes, schedule, and review.

Presenter note

My connectors

After setup, the customer sees an operational connector status page: last crawl, next schedule, Purview publish status, run logs, and the ability to trigger a manual run.

Run timeline

Presenter note

Click “Run now” during the demo. The simulated run should show the customer that the connector is operational: crawl, transform, publish, verify. Then click “Open in Purview” to show the Data Map result.

Unified Catalog verification

This is the payoff screen. The customer sees the published collection, created assets, and lineage path connecting Databricks source assets to Power BI consumption.

Presenter note

This screen answers the client’s practical question: “After setup, what do I get in Purview?” Keep repeating that this is metadata lineage and governance evidence, not business data movement.

What we can leverage from Purview

This page is for Q&A. It separates the Microsoft connector/gallery route from the working Data Map API route, so the demo stays credible.

Discovery / listing route

Purview connector gallery pattern

Microsoft’s connector experience gives admins a familiar place to discover, configure, and monitor connectors. Partner connectors commonly involve prior partner/customer setup and service principal provisioning.

  • Good for first-interaction parity.
  • Good for admin install workflow.
  • Requires Microsoft partner/listing path before real availability.
Working technical route

Purview Data Map / Atlas APIs

For lineage and data governance, the practical backend route is to create custom types, create/update assets, create lineage relationships, and query lineage from Purview Data Map.

  • Databricks assets can be represented as DataSet-derived types.
  • Jobs/notebooks/processes can be Process-derived types.
  • Relationships model dataset/process inputs and outputs.
Productized customer route

LineageAdvisor hosted onboarding

While the Microsoft listing is pursued, LineageAdvisor can provide the same setup journey from its own UI: connect, scope, schedule, publish to Purview, monitor.

  • Fastest route to pilot.
  • Can mirror connector-like UX.
  • Preserves honest messaging: export works now, listing is planned.

Recommended Ray demo wording

“The screens you saw simulate the connector-style install experience we want customers to have inside Purview. The underlying mechanics are already aligned with Purview’s extensibility model: Entra authorization, service-principal-style setup, Data Map asset publishing, custom type definitions, and lineage relationships. For today’s pilot, we can run this through LineageAdvisor and export into Purview; for long-term parity, we pursue the Microsoft connector/listing route.”
