Upgrade Desktop Application

Contents:

The Wrangler Enterprise desktop application can be installed on local desktops to provide access to  Trifacta Wrangler Enterprise. This client is useful if a supported browser is not available for use.

Test Access

Upgrades to the Wrangler Enterprise desktop application do not need to happen with each upgrade of the platform.  An upgrade of the Wrangler Enterprise desktop application is needed only if one of the following occurs:

1. You have upgrade the Trifacta platform and can no longer access the Trifacta application through the Wrangler Enterprise desktop application.
2. You have been instructed by  Trifacta Support to upgrade to resolve an issue.

Uninstall

To uninstall from your Windows machine, use the Add or Remove Programs control panel.

Install

To install the application on a single desktop or across multiple desktops for the upgraded release, please follow the steps listed below.

Download

To begin, you must download the following Windows MSI file (TrifactaEnterpriseSetup.msi) from the location where your software was provided.

If you are planning to automate installation to desktops in your environment, please also download setTrifactaServer.ps1.

Setup

Before you begin, you should perform any necessary configuration of the Trifacta node before deploying the instances of the application. See Configure for Desktop Application in the Configuration Guide.

Install for Windows

Steps:

1. On your Windows desktop, double-click the MSI file. 
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

Windows Command Line Installation and Configuration

As an alternative, you can perform installation and initial configuration from the command line. Download the MSI and the PS1 files to a local directory that is accessible.

Install software:

msiexec /i <path_to_TrifactaEnterpriseSetup.msi> /passive

Configure URL of Trifacta node:

setTrifactaServer.ps1 -trifactaServer <server_url> -installDir <local_dir>

<http|https>://<host>:<port>

After this install is completed, desktop users should be able to use the application normally.

Launch the Application

Steps:

1. When installation is complete, double-click the application icon.

2. For the server, please enter the full URL including port number of the Trifacta instance to which you are connecting.

   1. By default, the server is available over port 3005. For more information, please contact your IT administrator.

   2. If you connect to the Internet through a proxy, additional configuration is required. See Configure Server Access through Proxy.

      NOTE: If you make a mistake in specifying the URL to the server, please uninstall and reinstall the MSI. This step clears the local application cache, and you can enter the appropriate path through the application. See 320735828 below.

3. When the proper URL and port number are provided, you may launch the application.

4. If your environment contains multiple server deployments, you can select the one to which to connect:
