Upgrade Of Existing Repository

For upgrade of an existing repository

• From host script set the script type of wsl_post_install_enablement_pack as Auto Execute - PowerShell Script

    Image Removed Image Added
Important Upgrade Notes
If the RED repository exists, it will prompt to upgrade the repository. This enablement pack will overwrite any existing Source Enablement Pack UI Configs:

...

To ensure existing Source Enablement Pack connections and associated Load Tables continue to browse and load:
Go into UI Configuration Maintenance in RED prior to before installing this  Enablement Pack and rename the affected UI Configurations. While the updated Load Template will work with previous Source Enablement Pack's Packs 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.

...

If you used the script Setup Wizard for installation then the following optional post-install steps are available.
Configure Connections
There were Three connections added that will optionally require your attention:

1. Connection: Data Warehouse ('Google BigQuery' )- This connection was setup set as per parameters provided in Setup Wizard
   1. open its properties and check the extended properties tab, set it up for GBQ_BUCKET and LOCATION
2. Connection: 'Database Source System' - this connection was set up as an example source connection,
   1. open its properties and set it up for a source DB in your environment
   2. or you can remove it if not required

...

Several stand-alone scripts provide some features such as "Ranged Loading", these scripts have been added to the Script Launcher menu but you will need to enable the menu toolbar item to see them.
To enable the Script Launcher menu in RED: Select menu item 'View->Toolbars->Script Launcher' , select View>Toolbars>Script Launcher

   Windows Powershell Script Execution
   On some systems, Windows Powershell script execution is disabled by default. There are several workarounds for this which can be found by searching the term "Powershell Execution Policy".
   Here is the most common workaround that WhereScape suggests, which does not permanently change the execution rights:
   Start a Windows CMD prompt as Administrator, change the directory to your script directory, and run the WhereScape Powershell scripts with this command:

...

• Method 2
  Press the Windows Key on your keyboard and start typing cmd.exe, when the cmd.exe icon shows up in the search list right click it to bring up the context menu, select "select Run As Administrator"
  Now you have an admin prompt navigate to to the folder where you have unpacked your WhereScape Red Enablement Pack using the 'cd' command:
  C:\Windows\system32> cd <full path to the unpacked folder>
  Run the below command:
  python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

For upgrade of an existing repository 

Image AddedImage Removed
In the upgrade of the existing repository if the user gets the above error then it means the script type of wsl_post_install_enablement_pack is set to PowerShell(64-bit) change the script type to Auto Execute-PowerShell before the upgrade or manually run the wsl_post_install_enablement_pack script from the host script from RED after the upgrade.

...

If you have RED 10.x or higher installed but the script (Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1) fails to find it on your system then you are most likely running the PowerShell (x86) version which does not show installed 64-bit apps by default. Please open a 64-bit version of Powershell instead and re-run the script.
