For Target Database Azure Synapse

Before you begin the following prerequisites must be met:

Create Database and ODBC DSN :
- Azure Synapse
  - At least one schema available to use as a RED Data Warehouse Target
- Python 3.8 or higher
  - Select "Add Python 3.8 to PATH" from installation Window

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	import_python_templates.ps1	Imports or updates the Python Templates to a RED Metadata Repository. Also includes any Script Imports	No*	Existing installations
4	set_default_templates.ps1	Applies the RED Connection defaults in a RED Metadata Repository for Python or Powershell templates.	No*	Existing installations

Configure Connections

There were Three connections added that will optionally require your attention:

Connection: 'Database Source System' - this connection was

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.
Connection: 'Azure Synapse'- this connection was

	Troubleshooting and Tips

...

Run As Administrator

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 "Run As Administrator"
Now you have an admin prompt navigate to to the folder where you have unpacked your WhereScape Red Enablement Pack to using the 'cd' command:
C:\Windows\system32> cd <full path to the unpacked folder>
Run batch (.bat) scripts from the administrator prompt by simply typing the name at the prompt and hit enter, for example:
C:\temp\EnablementPack>install_WslPowershell_Modules.bat
Run Powershell (.ps1) scripts from the administrator prompt by typing the Powershell run script command, for example:
C:\temp\EnablementPack>Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1
Notes: In the event you can not bypass the Powershell execution policy due to group policies you can instead try "-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned" which should allow unsigned local scripts.

Windows Powershell Script Execution

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

cmd:>Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\<script_file_name.ps1>

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.

Python requirements for offline install

Additionally to the base Python installation being required, the WhereScape Python Template set also requires certain additional Python libraries. The install scripts uses the PIP (package manager) to download these libraries, however for offline installs you will need to install the required libraries yourself.
Required Python libraries/add-ons:

pywin32-ctypes
python-tds
pywin32
glob2
gzip-reader
regex
pyodbc

If a valid RED installation can not be found

If you have RED 10.x or higher installed but the script (Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1) fails to find it on you system then you are most likely running 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.
