There can be issues with data types when loading data through Fabric Data Factory.In such cases, the Fabric pipeline will display an error, suggesting using varchar(8000) for the affected column (e.g., “”). The user should update the column’s data type to match the recommendation from Data Factory.After making the changes, the table should be recreated, the script regenerated,and the pipeline executed again with the extended property “Recreate Pipeline on run” set to “True” or left blank.

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

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>
