Migrating data from Claude Compliance to Databricks using CData SSIS Components.

Databricks is a unified data analytics platform that allows organizations to easily process, analyze, and visualize large amounts of data. It combines data engineering, data science, and machine learning capabilities in a single platform, making it easier for teams to collaborate and derive insights from their data.

The CData SSIS Components enhance SQL Server Integration Services by enabling users to easily import and export data from various sources and destinations.

In this article, we explore the data type mapping considerations when exporting to Databricks and walk through how to migrate Claude Compliance data to Databricks using the CData SSIS Components for Claude Compliance and Databricks.

Data Type Mapping

Special Considerations

• String/VARCHAR: String columns from Databricks can map to different data types depending on the length of the column. If the column length exceeds 4000, then the column is mapped to nvarchar (max). Otherwise, the column is mapped to nvarchar (length).
• DECIMAL Databricks supports DECIMAL types up to 38 digits of precision, but any source column beyond that can cause load errors.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2022
• SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension for Visual Studio 2022
• CData SSIS Components for Databricks
• CData SSIS Components for Claude Compliance

Create the project and add components

1. Open Visual Studio and create a new Integration Services Project.
2. Add a new Data Flow Task to the Control Flow screen and open the Data Flow Task.
3. Add a CData Claude Compliance Source control and a CData Databricks Destination control to the data flow task.

Configure the Claude Compliance source

Follow the steps below to specify properties required to connect to Claude Compliance.

1. Double-click the CData Claude Compliance Source to open the source component editor and add a new connection.
2. In the CData Claude Compliance Connection Manager, configure the connection properties, then test and save the connection.

   The driver connects to Claude Compliance using a Compliance Access Key, the only supported authentication method. Set the following connection property:

   • APIKey: The Compliance Access Key you created.

   Creating a Compliance Access Key

   1. Enable the Compliance API for your organization.
   2. Sign in to claude.ai as a primary owner or organization owner and open Organization settings > API > Keys.
   3. Select Create Key and assign only the scopes your integration needs:
      • read:compliance_activities for Activities and the typed activity views.
      • read:compliance_org_data for organizations, roles, groups, and settings.
      • read:compliance_user_data for users, chats, files, projects, and downloads.
      • delete:compliance_user_data for the explicit Delete stored procedures.
   4. Create the key and copy it when it appears. The key starts with sk-ant-api01- and is shown only once.

   Optionally, set OrganizationUUID to limit organization-scoped views (such as OrganizationUsers and ComplianceRoles) to a single linked organization. If it is left empty, those views default to the first available organization and do not include data from all linked organizations.

   
3. After saving the connection, select "Table or view" and select the table or view to export into Databricks, then close the CData Claude Compliance Source Editor.

Configure the Databricks destination

With the Claude Compliance Source configured, we can configure the Databricks connection and map the columns.

1. Double-click the CData Databricks Destination to open the destination component editor and add a new connection.
2. In the CData Databricks Connection Manager, configure the connection properties, then test and save the connection. To connect to a Databricks cluster, set the properties as described below.

   Note: The needed values can be found in your Databricks instance by navigating to Clusters, selecting the desired cluster, and selecting the JDBC/ODBC tab under Advanced Options.

   • Server: Set to the Server Hostname of your Databricks cluster.
   • HTTPPath: Set to the HTTP Path of your Databricks cluster.
   • Token: Set to your personal access token (this value can be obtained by navigating to the User Settings page of your Databricks instance and selecting the Access Tokens tab).

   Other helpful connection properties

   • QueryPassthrough: When this is set to True, queries are passed through directly to Databricks.
   • ConvertDateTimetoGMT: When this is set to True, the components will convert date-time values to GMT, instead of the local time of the machine.
   • UseUploadApi: Setting this property to true will improve performance if there is a large amount of data in a Bulk INSERT operation.
   • UseCloudFetch: This option specifies whether to use CloudFetch to improve query efficiency when the table contains over one million entries.
   
3. After saving the connection, select a table in the Use a Table menu and in the Action menu, select Insert.
4. On the Column Mappings tab, configure the mappings from the input columns to the destination columns.

Run the project

You can now run the project. After the SSIS Task has finished executing, data from your SQL table will be exported to the chosen table.
