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 |
Note that on some systems executing Windows Powershell scripts is disabled by default, see troubleshooting for workarounds
Each Powershell script in the list above provides some help at the command line, this can be output by passing the -help
parameter to the script. For Example > .\Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1 -help
Step-By-Step Guide
Setup and configure RED Metadata Repository
Run Powershell as Administrator:
- Script 1 >
Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1
Important Upgrade Notes If RED repository exists, it will prompt to upgrade the repository.
This enablement pack will overwrite any existing Source Enablement Pack UI Configs:
Connection UI Config | Load UI Config |
Amazon S3 | Load From Amazon S3 |
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 | Load From Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 |
Google Cloud | Load From Google Cloud |
To ensure existing Source Enablement Pack connections and associated Load Tables continue to browse and load:
Go into UI Configuration Maintenance in RED before installing this Enablement Pack and rename the affected UI Configurations. While the updated Load Template will work with 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.
