Enablement Pack Setup Scripts

The Enablement Pack Install process is entirely driven by scripts. The below table outlines these scripts, their purpose, and if Run as Administrator is required. 

1

Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1

Setup and configure a RED Metadata Repository for target database
If RED repository exists then updates the repository with 1.Templates 2.Scripts 3.Extended Properties 4.Datatype Mappings 5.UI Configurations 

             Yes           

New and Existing installations

2

install_WslPython_Modules.bat

Installs or updates WslPython Modules and required Python libraries on this machine.

             Yes              

New and Existing installations

3

Applies the RED Connection defaults in a RED Metadata Repository for Python or Powershell templates.

             No*           

Existing installations

Each Powershell script in the list above provides some help at the command line, this can be output by passing the "-help" parameter to the script.For Example > .\Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1 -help

Step-By-Step Guide

Setup and configure RED Metadata Repository

Run Powershell as Administrator:

 Script 1 > Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1


Important Upgrade Notes

If RED repository exists, it will prompt to upgrade the repository.

This enablement pack will overwrite any existing Source Enablement Pack UI Configs:

Connection UI Config

Load UI Config

Amazon S3

Load From Amazon S3

Azure Data Lake  Storage Gen2

Load From Azure Data Lake  Storage Gen2

Google Cloud

Load From Google Cloud

To ensure existing Source Enablement Pack connections and associated Load Tables continue to browse and load:
Go into UI Configuration Maintenance in RED before installing this  Enablement Pack and rename the affected UI Configurations. While the updated Load Template will work with previous Source Enablement Pack we recommend moving these previous versions of Load Tables to newly created Parser-based connections following this install. The earlier versions of the Source Enablement Pack will be deprecated following this release.

Important Upgrade Notes

A change to the script exit code has been introduced. Whenever a load/update script is regenerated, it is essential to regenerate the linked action script. Similarly, regenerating the action scripts requires regenerating the associated load/update scripts to keep both scripts in sync.
