Hi everyone,
Im trying to deploy Azure OpenAI to PVA and whenever I do and PVA loads - there's nothing in there. Are there any reconfigurations I need to do in PVA aside from the default topics?
I was able to connect Azure Open AI to blob storage and attempted to deploy in PVA. Even tested the bot but its not giving me any response like it doesnt have the data on it (from the blob storage). See photo below.
Can Anyone share a link on the step by step guide in the actual deployment of OAI in PVA? Or if you could share some basic workflows that I can follow - that would be very helpful as well.
Thanks.
Hi @brandonsierra
Can you share more on what you mean by "there is nothing in there"?
Is the Azure OpenAI connection created?
Does the same user query returns results when tried in the Azure OpenAI Studio with "on your data" configured?

Hi @HenryJammes
Thank you for the response. I deployed a model in azure openai and connected a data from a blob storage - things are working okay in the chat playground. Now I wanted to make some adjustments using in greetings like 'Thank you' and other stuff. So I deployed in PVA (see image below).
When I made a prompt it seems like it doesnt recognise the data that I used in azure openai. See photos below.
1) Are there any configurations that I need to do in PVA to reconnect what I have in azure openai?
2) Can I directly connect PVA to azure cogtive service?
Thank you very much.

Thanks @brandonsierra
That'd odd, this should work natively, especially if you were able to do the whole setup with no error message.
Can you check that the Azure OpenAI connection exists in your target environment?

I've given some guidance in that post on how to deploy to a different environment or to an existing chatbot, let me know if that helps: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General/Azure-OpenAI-on-your-data-deploying-to-a-different-environment/m-p/2316247/thread-id/6412

Hi @HenryJammes ,
Thank you for the response. The link was indeed very helpful.
Needed to create another environment to create the pva bot.
I have a small clarification on the link that you shared: Where exactly can I find the YAML definition?
Was trying to locate it in the portal but I couldnt seem to find it.
Thanks again!

This is the YAML definition of the topic in PVA.
You can access it by clicking on ... and Open code editor at the top right corner of your topic in PVA:
to clarify, where can I find "title" and "file name" in Azure Search Service?
Thanks again and apologies for the confusion.
Thank you.. Could you also point out where to get the title and file name from azure search service? Been going back and forth but I couldnt find it.
Thanks again @HenryJammes
No problem @brandonsierra, that space is still very new for most of us 🙂
These indeed exist in your Azure search service, in your index.
If you click on search, you'll likely get the columns you have configured in your index.
In my below example, I could use content, filepath, title and url and use them for my mapping with the Azure OpenAI On Your Data configuration in PVA:
I see you're using SharePoint as a data source, so I would look at the available data you have in your index.
Sometimes, title and filepath are the same for lack a better option.
My data is actually from azure search service 🙂
I also did the search as per your example in my index but I have more that 10 pdf files in there. Can I use any of the titles, urls, filepaths and content?
Thanks!
