Step-By-Step Guide

Setup and configure RED Metadata Repository

Run Powershell as Administrator:         

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 ConfigLoad UI Config
Amazon S3Load From Amazon S3
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2Load From Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
Google CloudLoad 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.
