The Datasphere-Databricks news isn't a feature. It's a choice: rebuild the semantic layer twice, or connect to it once.

SAP's walkthrough reads SAP Datasphere views live from Databricks inside SAP Business Data Cloud. Measures, hierarchies and joins stay in Datasphere; notebooks read them as-is.

Two caveats: Analytic Models are OData-only, not SQL. Production security means certificates plus Databricks Secrets.

Why this matters if you own BDC:

1. One set of definitions: SAP Analytics Cloud and Databricks read the same measures.
2. Write-back is in scope: predictions land in Datasphere.
3. Governed access comes before agent-ready data, not after.

Ask your data platform lead: who is rebuilding Datasphere joins in Databricks?
