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>

Re-install Python Libraries

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> 

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>uninstall_WslPython_Modules.bat

For installation of Python libraries there are two methods

Method 1

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_WslPython_Modules.bat

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 "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 the below command

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

For upgrade of existing repository 

Image Added

In upgrade of exiting repository if the user gets 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 upgrade or manually run the wsl_post_install_enablement_pack script from host script from RED after upgrade.

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.

Table name should be given in lowercase only

While loading the table, the table name should be given in lowercase, for example, load_tablename; otherwise, loaded data will now get displayed.Image Removed
