    Image Removed Image Added

Important Upgrade Notes
If RED upgrade upgrades the repository option is chosen.
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 the previous Source Enablement Pack 's 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.

...

  1. Connection: Data Warehouse ('Redshift' )- This connection was setup set as per parameters provided in Setup Wizard
    • open it's its properties and check the extended properties tab, set it up for Access Key, Secret Key, S3 Region and , and S3 Storage Location
  2. Connection: 'Database Source System' - this connection was setup set up as an example source connection,
    • open it's properties and set it up for a source DB in your environment
    • or you can remove it if not required

...

Restarting failed scripts

Some of the setup scripts will track each step and output the step number when there is a failure. To restart from the failed step (or to skip the step) provide the parameter "-startAtStep <step number>" to the script.
Example: 
Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\<script_file_name.ps1> -startAtStep 123

Tip

...

To avoid having to provide all the parameters again you can copy the full command line with parameters from the first "INFO" message from the beginning of the console output.
