Ingest from Veeva Vault in 3 steps

note

Before starting, review the Databricks user persona, supported interfaces, ingestion frequency, and common patterns.

1. Configure Veeva Vault for ingestion (Admins) — Set up Veeva Vault to authenticate with Databricks.
2. Create a Unity Catalog connection (Admins) — Create a connection in Catalog Explorer so non-admins can create pipelines.
3. Create an ingestion pipeline (Admins or non-admins) — Select any supported interface and create a pipeline from an existing connection.
