Databricks Inbound Share Token Extended but Not Updating in Amperity

Overview

Sometimes a Databricks access token is extended, but the updated expiration date does not appear in Amperity. This can make it look like the token is still expiring soon, even though it has already been extended in Databricks.

This article explains why this happens and how to fix it.


Why This Happens

When you extend or update a Databricks token directly in Databricks, Amperity does not automatically pick up that change.

Amperity only refreshes the token details when the credential is re-uploaded through the Databricks inbound share settings. Simply extending the expiration date in Databricks does not push the update into Amperity.

Because of this:

  • Databricks shows the new expiration date

  • Amperity continues to show the old expiration date


Solution: Re-Upload the Credential in Amperity

To reflect the updated token expiration in Amperity, you must re-upload the credential for the Databricks inbound share.

Steps

  1. Go to Sources in Amperity

  2. Open the Databricks inbound share

  3. Click the three-dot (⋯) menu next to the inbound share

  4. Select Upload credential

  5. Upload the token that has the updated expiration

  6. Save the changes

Once this is done, the new expiration date will appear correctly in Amperity.


Expected Result

  • Amperity shows the updated token expiration date

  • No credential expiry warnings

  • Inbound share continues running without interruption


Important Notes

  • Extending a token in Databricks alone is not sufficient

  • Amperity does not auto-sync token expiry changes

  • Re-uploading the credential is required after:

    • Token extension

    • Token renewal

    • Token rotation


Summary

  • Token expiry changes made in Databricks do not automatically update in Amperity

  • The credential must be re-uploaded in Amperity using Upload credential

  • Once re-uploaded, the correct expiration date is reflected and the issue is resolved
