Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Azure DevOps to your Connect AI account:
1
Open the Sources page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
2
Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.
3
Type Azure DevOps into the search field, then click the data source name.
4
On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
5
Enter your Organization name. This is the segment of your Azure URL that follows the base URL, for example, https://dev.azure.com/Organization_Name.
6
Enter the Catalog to use.
  • If you want to query data for a specific project, set Catalog to either Project_projectId or Project_projectName. For example, to query data in a project named dev with the ID 2ee729d6-804d-4ece-84af-d5befa94abe8, you can set Catalog to either Project_dev or Project_2ee729d6-804d-4ece-84af-d5befa94abe8. To get a list of project IDs and names, execute a SELECT query against the Projects table.
  • Otherwise, enter CData to query information independent of a specific project.
7
(Optional) Enter a Schema. If you are using the CData catalog, enter Information to access general Azure DevOps information not related to a specific project. Within any of the project catalogs, Schema can be set to Project, Analytics, or any of the repository schemas. To query data for a specific repository, set Schema to Repository_repositoryId. Note that Analytics is read only.
8
Select the Authentication method, then proceed to the relevant section and follow those instructions.

​
Authentication Methods

1
Click Sign in to connect securely through OAuth. This action opens the Azure DevOps sign-in page in a new tab.
2
Sign in to your Azure DevOps account and provide the requested permissions (if applicable).
3
At the top of the Connect AI Add Connection page, click Save & Test.
  • If the connection test succeeds, a Connection successfully saved message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the Edit Connection page, in the Data Model tab.
  • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.
  • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
