SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 1 Basics of SSIS and Creating Package
Introduction
In this article we will see what a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is; basic on why SSIS
is used for, how to create a SSIS Package and how to debug the same.
SSIS and DTS Overview
SSIS is an ETL tool (Extract, Transform and Load) which is very much needed for the Data
warehousing applications. Also SSIS is used to perform the operations like loading the data
based on the need, performing different transformations on the data like doing calculations
(Sum, Average, etc.) and to define a workflow of how the process should flow and perform
some tasks on the day to day activity.
[more]
Prior to SSIS, Data Transformation Services (DTS) in SQL Server 2000 performs the tasks with
fewer features. With the introduction of SSIS in SQL Server 2005 many new features can be
used. To develop your SSIS package you need to get installed with the SQL Server Business
Intelligence Development Studio which will be available as client tool when installing SQL
Server Management Studio (SSMS).
SSMS and BIDS
SSMS provides different options to develop your SSIS package starting with Import and
Export wizard with which you can copy the data from one server to the other or from one
data source to the other. With these wizards we can create a structure on how the data flow
should happen and make a package and deploy it based on our needs to execute in any
environment.
Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) is a tool which can be used to develop the
SSIS packages. BIDS is available with SQL Server as an interface which provides the
developers to work on the work flow of the process that can be made step by step. Once the
BIDS is installed with the SQL Server installation we can locate it and start our process as
shown in the steps below.
STEPS
Now lets take an example of importing data from a text file to the SQL Server database
using SSIS. Lets have the step by step process of how to achieve this task using SSIS
Step 1 Go to Start Programs Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SQL Server Business
Intelligence Development Studio as shown in the below figure
It will open the BIDS as shown in the below figure. This will similar to the Visual Studio IDE
where we normally do the startup projects based on our requirements.
Step 2 Once the BID studio is open, now we need to create a solution based on our
requirement. Since we are going to start with the integration services just move on to File
New Project or Ctrl + Shift + N It will open a pop up where we need to select Integration
Services Project and give the project name as shown in the below screen
After creating this new project we can see that by default a new SSIS package is added
(Package.dtsx) when you create an Integration Services Project; you can right click on it and
rename it. Now the designer will show the empty workflow tabs as shown below.
Step 3 Since our task is to load the text file into the database, we need to create a new
connection or otherwise in simple words we need to create a data source. Right click on the
connection manager pane and select New Flat File Connection as shown in the below
image
Step 4 It will open a window as shown in the below image. We need to fill in the details
like the path of the text file, and Format of the text file. If the text file first row contains the
columns then we need to select the Column names in the first data row check box as
shown in the below image.
Step 5 You can see the columns which we are trying to import from the text file by going
to the columns tab or the preview tab in the below image. In the preview tab we can see the
data as per our requirement like say a huge amount of data is available in the source like 1
million records. In the preview tab it shows only 100 records at a time. To see the records
from 500 to 600 you need to specify Data rows to skip = 500 in the preview tab. So we can
see the records from 501 to 600. Click on the ok button to complete this task.
Step 6 Now we are done with the source section defined, we need to so the similar steps
to make the destination section. Now right click on the connection manager pane and select
New OLEDB Connection. It will pop up a window to get the connection details as shown
below. Fill in all the connection details and test the connection
After clicking on Ok we will see the connection details in the connection manager as shown
in the below screen.
Step 7 Now we need to create the data flow task in order to achieve our requirement to
import the data from the text file to the database. SSIS uses the work flow tasks in order to
process the request as step by step process. Most of our tasks will be completed here with
writing coding to make it done. So in the tool box at the left pane Click on the Data Flow
Task item, and drag it to the screen. Youll see an icon as shown in the below screen.
Double-click on that icon to open it.
Step 8 Double click on the Data Flow Task, it will redirect to the Data Flow tab where we
need to place our logic how the data flows as per our requirement. Since our requirement is
to import the text file Drag and drop the Flat File Source from the tool box to the data
flow tab screen. Again double click on the Flat File Source task it will pop up a window which
has the connection which we set up at the initial stage as shown in the below screen.
If you could notice there is an option Retain null values from the source as null values in the
data flow. This is disabled by default, which means that null values in the source defined
will be treated as empty strings. You can click on the Preview button to double-check your
structure.
Step 9 Now we need to set the destination flow i.e. till now we read the data and now we
need to insert it to the database as per our requirement. Go to the tool box and click on the
data flow destination section and drag and drop the OLE DB Destination. Now we need
to map the source and the destination in order to tell SSIS how the map works. So click on
the Flat file Source and drag the green arrow to the Ole DB destination as shown in the
below screen
Step 10 Now click on the destination task to configure it. Double click on the Destination
task to configure it. Notice that this also allows you to keep nulls. In our example, were
going to create a new table, but if you have a table already created, you can select it from
the table drop-down menu available. I have created a new table in my Database with the
below structure before doing the above steps. So I can see the table name in the list as
shown in the below screen
create table tNewApplication
(
[intApplication.] int identity(1,1),
AppID uniqueidentifier default newid(),
AppName varchar(100),
AppType varchar(100),
AppOwner varchar(100),
AppCompany varchar(100),
AppState varchar(100),
AppCountry varchar(100)
)
GO
Step 11 Now we need to do the mapping I.e. we are going to map the columns from the
Source (Flat File Schema) to the destination (DB Schema) as shown in the below screen
Step 12 Finally once everything is configure click on Ok button. You should see the screen
similar to the one below.
Step 13 Press F5 to start the execution of the SSIS package. We should see each step turn
green as the data is read and written. And you can see the datas that has been imported
from the Text file to the Database.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 2 Transforming SQL Data to Excel Sheet
This article is the 2nd part of the series of article on SSIS packaging and transformations.
Introduction:
In this article we will see how data can be transferred from SQL Server DB to Excel sheet.
Steps to achieve transforming data from SQL DB to Excel:
Step 1 and Step 2 Refer to my previous article on the steps at the below url.
Step 3: Since our task is to transform the data from SQL Server DB to Excel sheet , add a
Data Flow task in the control task tab of package.dtsx as shown in the below screen and
double click on the task which will redirect to the Data Flow tab
[more]
Step 4: In Data Flow tab add an OLE DB Source task and configure it to the database where
we need to perform the transformations and select the table as shown in the below screen.
In order to follow the steps on how to configure the SQL DB configuration check my previous
article as stated above.
Step 5: Now add the destination source (Excel Data source) as shown in the below screen
and make the configuration. To do the configuration first drag the green arrow from SQL data
source to the Excel destination tasks and then double click on the excel destination task it
will open the below screen for configuration
Step 6: Do the mapping of the columns from both the source and the destination tasks as
Step 7: Once everything is configured (Source and destination) Press F5 to execute the task
and you can find the result at the path where we specified the excel sheet. Check the
download section to see the excel sheet which is created with this project.
Conclusion
In this article we have seen how to transform the data from DB to Excel sheet:
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 3 Export Data using Wizard
This is part 3 of the series of article on SSIS. In this article we shall see how to export the
data from SQL Server using the wizard.
Introduction
In this article we will see on how to export the data from SQL server using the wizard which
is provide with the SSMS (SQL server Management Studio). Using SSMS we can perform
many tasks like copying data from one server to the other or from one data source to the
other in variety of formats. Here our task is to do a transform of data from SQL server to
Excel using the Wizard.
You can look into my series of article on SSIS at the url - http://f5debug.net/tutorial/ssis.aspx
[more]
Steps
Step 1: Go to Programs Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SQL Server Management Studio and
connect to the list of server dbs which we have to perform the task as shown in the below
screen
Step 2: Once you locate the Database where we need to perform the transformation then
Right click on the database and go to Tasks then select Export Data. It will open a welcome
screen Click Next and move to the Datasource tab.
Step 3: Choose a Datasource tab helps to select the source of the data transformation
selected at the initial stage itself. Once the required informations are selected click on next
and it will ensure to select the destination source.
Step 4: Now the destination data source window will open, here we need to specify the
destination (In our example excel sheet) so select Microsoft Excel from the drop down and
provide the path on where it should save the excel sheet
Step 5: Now we need to specify from which table we need to transform the data or we can
write our own query based on which the data need to be transformed. Here we can select
the table so mark that option and click on next as shown in the below screen
Step 6: Once we click on next button it will show the list of tables to be selected. Select the
table which we need to do the transformation and click on preview to double check the
output as shown in the below screen and click on Next button.
Step 7: Once we are done with the source and destination it will ask to save and execute
the package. Click Next and Finish to complete the transformation as shown in the below
screen.
Step 8: Once we are done it will show the process on the how the task is carried over and
shows the final result on the tasks completed as shown in the below screen. If its completed
without any error it will create the excel sheet at the folder where we specified in the
destination tab
Conclusion
This article we have seen on how to use the export wizard to make a transformation and to
execute the package using the wizard. Sample project is included along with the final result
(excel sheet).

Step 8: Since we are given the option to save the SSIS package it will ask for the
configuration on which server we need to save the SSIS. Or you can give a path to save the
SSIS as show in the below diagram
Step 9: Once we are done it will show the process on the how the task is carried over and
shows the final result on the tasks completed as shown in the below screen. If its completed
without any error it will Copy the data to the SQL DB table.
Conclusion
This article we have seen on how to use the Import Wizard to make a transformation and to
execute the package using the wizard.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 5 Building and Executing a Package
This is part 5 of the series of article on SSIS. In this article I have described how to build and
execute a package in SSIS.
Introduction
In this article we will look into how to build and execute a package in SSIS. The idea behind
this article is the reader should get familiar with the options available in executing the
package to check for any errors or to see if the package is executed correctly or not and
finally in the next article we will look into the deployment strategies for SSIS.
[more]
Steps
In order to see the building and the execution process of SSIS, we are first going to create a
solution (project) and do some tasks which you can see in my Part 1 to Part 4 Series on the
step by step process at the below URL.
You can look into my series of article on SSIS at the url - http://f5debug.net/all-articles/
So Once we are ready with creating tasks and preparing a format to perform some tasks as
shown in the below screen we will see how to build and execute the SSIS packages
I have performed 2 tasks here, one is from a OLE DB connection (SQL DB) Northwind
Database in products table Im taking product values > 25 to an excel sheet. Is there is any
problem with the source then it will transform them to Flat File.
So once we are ready with the project tasks, go to Build menu and click on
BuildDebugandExecute
At the bottom on the window (Status bar) you can see the status of the build as shown in the
below screen
Now in order to do the execution debug and check if the process goes on step by step Go to
Debug menu and click on Start Debugging or Press F5 directly as shown in the below screen
The execution process starts and the tasks will be executed step by step and the completed
tasks will be shown in green color as shown in the below screen
If there is any error in the process tasks then the task will be shown as RED color.
Conclusion
We have gone over the process on how to build and execute the SSIS package. We will look
into the deployment options and techniques in the upcoming articles..
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 6 Options to execute a package in SSIS
This is part 6 of the series of article on SSIS. In this article we shall see how to deplay a SSIS
package
Introduction
In this article we will see on how to deploy a package once we are done with creating and
building the package.
[more]
Approaches:
Once a package is created and build it successfully, we have 3 options to make a
deployment. We will look into each approach with an example.
Approach 1:
DTEXEC command line utility
SQL Server provides a command line utility (DTEXEC.EXE) that helps the developers to
execute the SSIS package. It can be directly used from the command prompt by moving
around to the folder where the package is available and executing making use of this EXE.
DTEXEC /? Provides the list of available options to execute the package from the command
prompt as shown in the below screen
So to execute the package go to that folder where the package is available and provide the
syntax as shown in the below screen
This is the result once we execute a package in SSIS Command line utility. This example
shows an error that package is not executed properly and it has some errors which need to
be fixed.
For more details on DTEXEC utility refer to the below msdn article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162810%28SQL.90%29.aspx
Approach 2:
SSIS Package Windows Application
This approach is straight forward a user interface option to execute the package. Microsoft
has provided a user interface or we can say a tool kind of option to execute the SSIS
packages. DTEXECUI.EXE is the User interface exe which performs the task of executing the
package.
We can launch DTEXECUI.EXE by double clicking on the package itself directly (i.e. go to
project folder and double click on *.dtsx file). It will open the graphical user interface as
shown below.
As we can see there are many options available in order to execute the package based on
our needs. If we want to follow the standard format then directly clicking on EXECUTE button
at the bottom will do the task. We can navigate through each option and customize the
package based on our needs.
You can have a look at the msdn article on DTEXECUI.EXE utility at the below url
Approach 3:
SQL Server Agent Scheduling
The last and the final approach to execute the SSIS packages are the SQL Server Integration
services Job step type which helps to schedule the package and execute it based on our
needs. This is one of the easiest approaches since we have the UI to schedule the package
and execute it without any user interactions.
In order to do these approaches go to SQL Server Management Studio Connect to the
Database using the credentials open object explorer and go to JOBS Select New Job and
fill the details based on our needs
Conclusion
In this article we have seen the different options to execute the SSIS packages. We will look
into the deployment options in the upcoming articles.

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 7 Options to deploy a package in SSIS
This is part 7 of the series of article on SSIS.
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on how to deploy a SSIS package once we are done with
developing, building and executing the package. Deploying an application is something
which we need to take care since it performs based on the requirement like when the
package should execute, who should execute the package etc. We have 3 options available
with deploying a SSIS package and the options are as follows
[more]
1. Deployment Utility
2. Command line Executable
3. SQL Server Management Studio
We will see on each approach and the steps involved in deploying the package. You can refer
to my previous articles on SSIS to get some idea before going ahead with this article.
Approaches:
Approach 1 : Deployment Utility
This approach is used to create an installer for the package and can be execute at the place
where ever its required. This Utility is available by default to all the Integration projects; we
will see the steps to make use of this utility.
Steps:
Go to BIDS (Check my previous articles on how to go to BIDS) and open the package solution
which you want to deploy and right click on the project and go to properties as shown in the
below figure.
A dialog will open where you have the option as Deployment Utility. Clicking on that will
show the options at the right side of the dialog box where we need to set the
CreateDeploymentUtility to TRUE and give the path where the installer need to be created
as shown in the below screen
Once we are done, now right click on the project and give BUILD it will show the result at the
bottom of the page if the build is succeeded or failed. If its succeeded it will create the
deployment installer as shown in the below screen. You can copy these files to any location
and double click to make use of it
Approach 2: Command Line Executable

Microsoft has provided an Executable DTUTIL.EXE that can be used to deploy SSIS packages.
This command like utility is a good option to script the package. We can use this executable
directly or can make use of it in the batch file.
To execute it at the command prompt check the below script. Go to the path of the package
and execute the below scripts.
DTUTIL /FILE Package1.dtsx
/COPY
SQL;SSISPackage1
In order to deploy the package at the file system level then go with the below script
DTUTIL /FILE Package1.dtsx
/COPY
FILE;C:\SSIS\SSISPackage1.dtsx
For more option on this utility check the below url
Approach 3: SQL Server Management Studio
This approach required integration services to be connected and must be in running mode in
order to use this deployment option. In the object browser you can see something like below
To deploy our package right click on the File system and select the Import Package from the
menu. Fill the details as shown in the below screen
Clicking on OK will deploy the package

Conclusion
This article describes on the options available to deploy the SSIS packages.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 8 Scripting in SSIS Packages
This is part 8 of the series of article on SSIS
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on the scripting option available with SSIS, which is
nothing but the Script Task component in SSIS. The very cool feature available in SSIS
packaging is the Script Task, to justify is many task components are available which
performs a single operation as per the nature of the task. But with this Script task we can
perform our own custom task on how the process should happen as per the business. We will
see the step by step process on how to use this task.
[more]
Steps
Follow steps 1 to 3 on my first article to open the BIDS project and select the right project to
work on integration services project. Once the project is created, we will see on how to use
the Script Task component.
On the Tool box available in the right side pane, select the Script Task component as shown
Right Click on the Script Task and select edit or double click on the task component in order
to go through the properties of the task as shown in the below screen.
In the Script Pane, we have option as Script Language which points to Microsoft Visual
Basic .Net. We have only this option in SSIS 2005 version, if we have installed with SSIS 2008
then we have option for C#.Net as well. Entry Point option is the place which we need to
specify the main method for the script which we are going to write. Readonlyvariables and
Readwritevariables are the options where we can use it for specifying the variables which
are used at the script. We can specify the variables in comma separated format in order to
use more than a single variable.
At the bottom of the pane you can find Design Script option which is the main window where
we are going to put the script code. Clicking on that button will open the window as shown in
the below screen.
As you see in the screen ScriptMain is the main method which is going to act as the entry
point. This window helps to put our own custom logic as per the business using all the Visual
Basic references and build a complete useful task.
Conclusion
So in this article we have seen on how to create a Script task and write a custom code as per
our requirement.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 9 Breakpoints in SSIS Packages

Introduction
In this article we are going to look into the options to debug the SSIS package, mainly on the
Break point options available with SSIS. As you all know breakpoints are nothing but a point
where the developer can hold of and see the how the code executes at that particular point.
In SSIS similar break point options are provided to check the status of the task at that
particular point. SSIS breakpoints are provided with some events based on which we can
track the execution plan and see how the process flows. We will see the step by step process
on how to enable breakpoints and how to use the windows available in order to analyze the
breakpoint execution.
[more]
Steps
breakpoint options available with SSIS.
I have created a project here which will copy the data from SQL db to Excel sheet from the
Northwind database. I have created a Dataflow task along with OLEDB Source and Excel
destination tasks to make the flow perfect. Now in order to activate the Break points just
right click on the DataFlow task and select Edit Breakpoints as shown in the below screen.
It will open a window which has the list of events available for the SSIS process execution.
We need to select our exact needed break point to check the process at that particular point.
There are about 10 events available and are as follows
OnPreExecute: Triggered when task is about to Execute

OnPostExecute: Triggered when task is executed
OnError: Triggered when error occurred with the Task
OnWarning: Triggered when task just throws a warning
OnInformation: Triggered when task is about to provide some informations
OnTaskFailed: Triggered by task host when it fails to execute.
OnProgress: Triggered to update progress about task execution.
OnQueryCancel: Triggered in task processing when you can cancel execution.
OnVariableValueChanged: Triggered when the variable value is changed
OnCustomEvent: Triggered by tasks to raise custom task-defined events.
Here I have selected OnPostExecute event, so in my project once the task is execute this
break point wil be triggered and we can check the execution process at that point.
Lets now see on how the breakpoint execution works, if you notice after selecting the break
point a red dot will appear in the task as break point notification as shown in the below
screen
Now go ahead and press F5 to run the application. It will process the task and shows the
execution after the tasks completed as shown in the below screen
In the above image if you see it points to the RED dot with an arrow symbol which indicates
that the execution is waiting at this breakpoint to get completed. If you see the below pane
in the IDE there are some windows which tells the execution process of this task.
The LOCALS windows at the bottom tells you exactly on the execution status if its success or
failure, and the duration of the execution process and the execution status. Similar wise on
the right hand side we can see the Breakpoints window which shows the complete list of
breakpoints available not specific to the task but to the whole application.
OUTPUT window shows the execution process on the steps done and shows what is available
at the current section. If we go to the data flow tab it shows the execution in green color
which confirms that the execution is completed and then the process breakpoint triggered.
Conclusion
So in this section we have seen on the break point essentials in SSIS Packaging and the
execution plan status available in order to check the process flow.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 10 Check Points in SSIS Packages
Introduction
In this article we will look into the Check points usage in SSIS package. Check points are
nothing but a structure where we can restart the package at the point where it fails without
having to restart from the first step. This feature is an added advantage for SSIS packaging
which provides a better performance in order to achieve complex tasks. Check point saves
the configuration details in a XML file which acts as the source for the later execution
section. The package once restarted the default point is restored by the check points by
referring to this xml file only.
[more]
Check point configuration is by default false in SSIS, we need to manually configure in order
to use this feature. We will see here on how to configure and use the check points feature in
SSIS packaging. Before enabling the check points we need to know the properties available
with check points in order to use it effectively. It has 3 main properties as shown below
CheckpointFileName Automatically created XML file for configuration

CheckpointUsage Shows if the check point is in Use or not
SaveCheckpoints Shows if the check points saves or not in the packaging.
Lets jump into the step by step process on how to configure check points and how to use it
for our packages.
Steps
work on integration services project. Once the project is created, we will see on how to
configure Check points.
I have created a project here which has 2 tasks, both the tasks returns a positive response
as success. At this point we will not see the properties and the tasks are executed perfectly
as shown in the below screen
In order to enable the check points we will make the second task a negative task and try to
run the project. It will display as shown in the below screen
No we can see the Check point properties in the property window of the package list as
shown in the below screen. Here we have configured to save the check point and to use it.
Now the check points are configured and in order to use it now make the negative response
to respond as positive and run the package again and see how it going to take it.
Conclusion
So in this section we have seen the usage of check points and how to make the
configuration and how to use the check point as per the requirements.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 11 Send Mail in SSIS Packages
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on how to send a mail from SSIS using the SMTP services.
This send mail concept is used in real time when the packages are automated and to notify
the end user at certain circumstances about the execution process or also about any failure
in process or any things need to be skipped as the business needs. We have an option here
as Send Mail Task which is used to perform the task which have been discussed. Lets
discuss in detail about this task.
This article will show on how to set the configuration for the send mail option and send a test
mail to the end user.
[more]
Steps
Send Mail Task available with SSIS.
Once you created the project drag and drop the Send Mail Task from the tool box. It will open
a pop up as shown in the below screen. It has 3 sections on to that and we will see on how to
configure using the options available.
General tab This section has options to give a name and description for the task similar to
the one available in common in all the tasks.
Mail tab This is the very important section in configuration, here we have many otpions
which we need to configure in order to make use of sending mails from the SSIS packages.
Check the below screen for example.
You need to give your systems SMTP Server details and from, to and cc mail ids to whoever a
mail has to be sent from this package.
When you click on the SMTP new server configuration you will see a window as shown below
in order to input the new server details.
Expression tab This page is used to edit property expressions and to access the Property
Expressions Editor and Property Expression Builder dialog boxes.
Once we have configure then we can run the application and see how the mail is sent using
SSIS package as shown in the below figure. Running the package will send a mail to the
recipients and execute the package successfully.
Conclusion
SO this article helps you to do a send mail task which is very much necessary for a package
to execute automatically and send a result to the end users.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 12 For Loop task in SSIS Packages
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on how to use a For Loop container task in SSIS packaging.
For loop task is the looping implementation of a task by which the task will evaluate an
expression and loops through the process and until the evaluation goes to False. We will see
through the steps on using this container and how to configure the properties associated
with this task.
[more]
Steps
For Loop Container task options available with SSIS.
Once you created a project, just drag and drop the For Loop Container as shown in the below
screen
Here I have placed an Execute SQL task to insert some records to a table. We are going to
make use of the Loop container and insert to the table when it loops through. See the below
screen once we have inserted the Execute SQL task inside the for loop container
Now we need to configure the For Loop Container, before proceeding we are going to set 2
variables which we are going to use in the loop process. To create a variable for to View
Other windows Variable and assign values as shown in the below screen
Once we created the variable then go to the for loop container and double click it, it will
open the container configuration as shown below. Just do the configuration as shown below
Here we have given the count as 10 so it will loop through the process 10 times and insert
the same record 10 times into the table. Here I have created a table like this and inserted a
single record as shown in the below screen. Once we execute the package we can see the
data which is inserted.
Once the package is executed it will show as below
To check if the Package is executed properly or not go to the query analyzer and we can see
the result as below
So we are good with the package execution process.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 13 Backup Database task in SSIS and Send
Mail
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on how to use a Backup Database task to create an
execution plan in SSIS to take a database backup. This task will be very helpful for the DBAs
to maintain the database automatically by creating the package and using it across the
servers. This task has many options to do a Full, Differential backups based on our
requirement we can go ahead and use the respective option. Lets jump into the steps on
how to create and use the backup database task
[more]
Steps

Once we are into the project drag and drop the Backup Database Task from the tool box as
shown in the below figure
Now drag and drop the Send Mail task, so here our task is to do a backup and send a mail to
the DBA that the backup has be done successfully. Once you drag and drop the Send mail
task then you project will look like below
Now lets step into the configuration section of the Backup Database task and do the
configuration for a Full backup database. Just double click on the backup database task it will
open a window as shown in the below screen. We need to do the configuration as shown
below. Its self-explanatory on the options available
Clicking on the View T-SQL button will open a popup as shown in the below screen
Now configure the Send mail task (Check my previous link on how to configure Send Mail
task in SSIS). Now press F5 to execute the package to make a Full database backup. Once
everything is ready and executed your screen will look like below.
Send Mail task shows red color which means there is an error in the task. Its a known error,
since its executed in my local system SMTP is not configured.
Conclusion
So in this article we have seen how to back up a database using SSIS package and send a
mail to the DBA on success.

structure used in Deploying the SSIS package and the usage of those folders.
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on the folder structure used in deploying the SSIS package
and the usage of those folders.
[more]
SSIS Folder Structure

When ever we create a SSIS package and we completed with our development task and
finally to deploy the package we need to follow some folder structure which normal we used
to follow. Lets go in depth and see the different folders used and the purpose of each one.
Normally all the folder should reside under a single folder which can be of any custom name.
Under this root folder we can have number if sub folders as below
Packages: All the packages can be placed in this folder. This will be the main folder.
Project: This is the sub folder of Packages, which contains all the SSIS package files and
Configuration files for each prokect deployed
WorkFiles: This is a temporary folder, the file which are used to import or export or any log
files can be placed in this folder.
Project: This is the subfolder of Workfiles folder which is used for the same purpose as
above and also they can have any logs, data received for import, or data exported
Archive: This is the subfolder of Project folder, after a file has been imported that file will be
dated and placed in this folder
Logs: This is the subfolder of Project folder, Log files generated for SSIS package and SQL
Agent jobs are placed here
Response: This is the subfolder of Project folder, Rejected process of data imported file will
go to this folder
Temporary: This is the subfolder of Project folder, Raw files generated during the package
execution will be placed in this folder
Conclusion
This article explains on the purpose of the different folders used in the deployment of SSIS
package and how to use them effectively.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 15 Conditional Split Task in SSIS
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on how to use a Conditional Split task based on the
decision. Conditional tasks transformation will be used to split the data based on some
condition and save the result set in different destinations. This task will be very useful at
cases like to insert some passed test cases data to Database and the failed test cases data
to the text file or sending a mail to the administrator.
[more]
Steps:
Conditional Split transformation task options available with SSIS.
Once the project is opened, now we can proceed to the steps on how to create a conditional
split and see how to configure the task.
Drag and drop a Data Flow Task and double click on the same will open the Data Flow tab as
shown in the below figure add a Flat File source which is going to be an input for the
package. I have configure the Flat File source (Refer to previous articles on how to configure
the Flat File Source).
Input file for the Flat File source will be like below
Here we are going to save the application name into different destination files based on the
Country (US or India). To achieve this task I just dragged and dropped the Conditional Split
task as shown in the above image. Now in order to configure the task just double click on the
Conditional Split task
To make this configuration as shown in the above image just drag and drop the Column
which u are going to make it as a condition here in this example I dragged and dropped
Column 4 to the bottom pane and give the condition(both) as shown in the above screen.
Once above configuration is done click on the OK button. Now we need to make the
destination configure. Here Im saving the destination data to a different Flat File as FILEUS
and FILEINDIA. So drag and drop 2 flat file destinations and configure as shown in the below
screen
Once configured now click on the F5 button to build and execute the package. You will see
the below screen once the execution is completed.
You can see 2 new files created for US and INDIA countries as shown in the below screen.

the same in order to achieve multiple destination output based on the condition.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 16 Sequential Container Task in SSIS
This is part 16 of the series of article on SSIS where I shall show how to work with sequential
Container Task in SSIS.
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on how to use a Sequential Task container. This container
is used in areas where the process needs to follow certain tasks sequentially. Sequential Task
groups the tasks into multiple control flows and executes the process sequentially. We can
use this task widely based on our requirement like, disabling a sequence when it should not
process, use it when managing multiple tasks at a same time in one location. We can easily
disable a set of tasks under sequential task by disabling the sequential task alone which is
straight forward. If there are many tasks in our package we can group them based on their
sequence and used to collapse and expand them and also to enable and disable them easily.
[more]
Steps
Sequential Container Task in SSIS packaging.
Once we are into the BIDS, now we will start with drag and dropping a sequential container
task on to the designer view as shown in the screen below

This is part 19 of the series of article on SSIS. It describes using ActiveX Script task container
in SSIS package.
Introduction
In this article we are going to see on how to use ActiveX Script task container in SSIS
packaging. Here we take some simple example of executing a VB Script at runtime using the
ActiveX Script task container. This task container is mostly used on when we move the SQL
2000 DTS objects to SSIS packaging. So this task container is used to customize our process
of writing script and executing those scripts at runtime. Lets see a simple example of how to
use this task and execute a script.
[more]
Steps:
ActiveX Script task container and execute a script.
Drag and drop the ActiveX script task container as shown in the below screen.
Now in order to execute a script at the start of the SSIS Package we need to provide the
startup script to the script container. To provide the script right click on the ActiveX script
task and select Edit. It will show a window as shown in the below screen.
Move on to the SCRIPT tab, which is the main section we need to concentrate since we are
going to write the script in this section. Here we have 2 sections one is
LANGUAGE this section we need to provide which scripting language we going to write the
script.
SCRIPT this section we are going to right the click, just click on the button at the right side
will open a window to write the script as shown in the below screen.
Here I have written a bit of code to write a string to a file as shown in the below screen.
ENTRY POINT You need to provide which is the entry point for the script, in our case you
need to give it as MAIN().
Once we wrote the script now click on OK will move back to the previous screen. In that
screen at the bottom you can see an option like PARSE. Clicking on that button will check the
syntax and give the result as shown below.
Once all the configurations are over, now we need to execute the package and see if the
script has been execute perfectly. To do that right click on the ActiveX Script task and give
execute task as shown in the below screen.
It will show the result as shown in the below screen.
And the result, a file will be created at the location specified as shown in the below screen.

This is part 20 of the series of article on SSIS. In this article we shall learn how to execute
SSIS package from stored procedure.
Introduction
In this article we are going to see how to execute a SSIS package inside a stored procedure.
[more]
Steps:
In this article since we are going to see on executing the SSIS package using a stored
procedure. We need to carry out some basic configuration. Go to SQL Server Surface area
Configuration and select the Surface Area Configuration for features as shown in the below
images.
Now to go xp_cmdshell tab and select the checkbox Enable xp_cmdshell.
Here we have enabled this in order to execute our SSIS Package using this procedure. We
will use one our package which we have created as sample in our existing articles. Now we
are going to create a stored procedure to execute the package with passing some input
variables to be used in the connection string as follows,
CREATE PROCEDURE USP_ExecuteSSIS @strLocation VARCHAR(500), @strServer
VARCHAR(500), @strDbName VARCHAR(500), @EmailAddress VARCHAR(500)AS SET
NOCOUNT ON DECLARE@Cmd VARCHAR(4000),@ReturnCode INT,@Msg VARCHAR(1000)
SELECT @EmailAddress = QUOTENAME(@EmailAddress,'"')SELECT @strServer =
QUOTENAME(@@servername,'"')SELECT @Cmd = 'DTexec /FILE "' + @strLocation +
'MyProject.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT 1 /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW' + ' /SET
\Package.Variables[User::varSourceSQLServer].Properties[Value];' + @strServer + ' /SET
\Package.Variables[User::varErrorNotifyEmail].Properties[Value];' + @EmailAddress EXEC
@ReturnCode = xp_cmdshell @Cmd IF @ReturnCode <> 0BEGIN SELECT @Msg = 'SSIS
package execution failed - ' + @strLocation + 'INstance Name: ' + @strServer + '.' +
@strDbName EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @recipients = @EmailAddress , @body =
@Msg, @subject = 'SSIS Execution Failure'END RETURN @ReturnCodeGO
We can then call the stored procedure as follows,
EXEC USP_ExecuteSSIS 'C:\Packages\', 'KARTHIK-PC/Karthik', 'MyProject' '[email protected]'

1TB in 30 Minutes with SSIS, and So Can You
Writers: Len Wyatt, Tim Shea, David Powell

In February 2008, Microsoft announced a record-breaking data load using Microsoft SQL
Server Integration Services (SSIS): 1 TB of data in less than 30 minutes. That data load,
using SQL Server Integration Services, was 30% faster than the previous best time using a
commercial ETL tool. This paper outlines what it took: the software, hardware, and
configuration used.
[more]
We will describe what we did to achieve that result, and offer suggestions for how to relate
these techniques to typical scenarios. Even for customers who dont have needs quite like
this benchmark, such efforts can teach a lot about getting optimal performance.

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 38 Audit Transformations Control in SSIS
use an Audit transformation control.
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use an Audit transformation control. Audit
transformation helps the uses to build a package which requires about the environment on
which the package runs like the computer name, the path where the package is running,
name of the package and the operator by using the system variable available with these
functions. Lets jump start into the example to see on how to use this control.
[more]
Steps:
an audit control. Now drag and drop an audit control as shown in the below screen.
To configure the audit transformation, as mentioned earlier it uses some of the system
variables to be used across the packaging process. The list of system variables used are as
follows
Value
Variable Name
Description
ExecutionInstanceGUID
GUID that identifies the instance running
PackageID
Unique identifier od the package running
PackageName
Name of the package
VersionID
Version ID of the package
ExecutionStartTime
Time when the package is started
MachineName
Computer Name on which package running
UserName
User Name under which package running
TaskName
Name of the task which is running
TaskId
Unique identifier of the task running
Now to start configuring the Audit task, just double click on the control will open the popup
where we need to select the process which we need to carry on as shown in the below
screen
Here we are collecting the information and going to store in a file, so add a flat file
destination as shown in the below screen
Now press F5 to build and execute the package. It will run the package and show a screen
like below
Now navigate to the path where we gave for the output folder and open the file. We can see
the output as below

which satisfied the condition.
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the AUDIT transformation control to make
some audit for the process happening inside the package.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 39 Character Map (Upper to Lower) Transformations in SSIS
use the Character Map transformation control in SSIS Packaging.
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Character Map transformation control in
SSIS Packaging. Character Map transformations are used to do some formatting for the
columns based on users selection. The formatting can be like transforming Lower to upper
case, Upper to lower case, Byte reversal, half width, Full Width etc. These transformations
are used in the data flow process to maintain some standards across the application and to
save some issues in the log based on the application name search. Lets jump start into the
example to see on how to use this control.
[more]
Steps:
the Character Map control. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Character map
control as shown in the below screen
Before configuring the controls we need to make sure on which process we are going to
follow to do the transformation. Here we are going to take 2 tables as source and destination
in the same database and do some transformations to check how exactly the process is used
for.
I have created a table as shown below
CREATE TABLE EmpTable (EMPID INT, EMPFname VARCHAR(50), EMPLnmae
VARCHAR(50))GoINSERT INTO EmpTable (EMPID, EMPFname, EMPLnmae)VALUES
(1,'KARTHIK','KARTHIK')INSERT INTO EmpTable (EMPID, EMPFname, EMPLnmae)VALUES
(1,'KARTHIK','KARTHIK')
Now I have created a destination folder as shown below

CREATE TABLE EmpDestination (EMPID INT, EMPFname VARCHAR(50), EMPLnmae
VARCHAR(50))
Now our process we are going to make a transformation on converting the upper case to
lower case, lets see on how to do that.
To configure the Character Map just double click on the control and select the columns to be
added for the transformation and select the necessary transform as shown in the below
image
Now drag and drop a destination oledb provider and connect to the destination table and
map it as shown in the below screen
Once everything is configured your package screen looks like below
Now press F5 to run the package. Once the package gets executed it will look like the below
screen
Now the package is executed successfully, to check the transformations are completed
successfully go to the query analyzer and run the query as shown in the below screen

package. Copy Column task help to copy a column to a destination as and when required to
have sync across the environments. Lets jump start to the section on how to do that using a
sample package.
[more]
Steps:
the Copy Column control. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Copy Column
control and a source and destination OLEDB provider control to get and update the column
We have configured the OLEDB Source to fetch the data which we are going to make a copy.
Now lets configure the Copy Column as shown in the below screen
Clicking on OK will do the configuration of the copy column control. Now go to the OLEDB
Destination control and configure to the correct Column as shown in the below screen
Once we are done with the configuration Press F5 to build and execute the package. Once
the package gets executed successfully your screen looks like below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Copy Column to transform a copy of
column to the destination for particular columns in a table.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 42 Data Conversion Transformations in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Data Conversion transformation inside a
package. Data Conversion task mainly used in large transformations where the data
compatibility should be checked in order to update back to the database. Say for example
we get some daily morning loads as some file and in that file we can see some data type
wrong which needs to be altered from string to integer in that case this task can be used.
Lets jump start to the section on how to do that using a sample package.
[more]
Steps:
the Data Conversion control. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Data
Conversion control and a source and destination provider as shown in the below image.
Here we are using a Flat file data source which has 3 columns as string. Out of the 3, we
need to convert the data type of 2 columns. Lets see on how to do that using this sample.
Double click the Data Conversion control will open a window to do the configuration. Follow
as it shows in the below image.
Here we can select the data type based on our need, like we can select a Currency Data
type if an amount filed is found. Now click on the OK button to complete this step. Now we
need to drag and drop a destination file task and configure as shown in the below image.
Now press F5 to run the task and you can find the data type converted. To have it used in
real time we need to use to update to the database where it has constraints on having only
numeric or a string based on the business.
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Data Conversion Transformation to
transform a data of different type.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 43 Derived Column Transformations in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Derived Column transformation in SSIS
packaging. Derived column transformation is used in cases where we do some
manipulations and get the desired result in a separate column. Say for example we need to
do some transformations based on calculating the salary with some perks and have it in a
separate column then we can go with the derived columns. Lets jump start to the section on
how to do that using a sample package.
[more]
Steps:
the Derived Columns control. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Derived
Column control and a source and destination provider as shown in the below image.
Now we need to do the configuration for each of the tasks, first we will start with Source. In
our example we are going to create a table as shown in the below scripts
CREATE TABLE EmpDetails(EMPID int, EMPFName varchar(10), EMPLName varchar(10),
EMPDOB Datetime, EMPSal int, EMPHra int)
GO
INSERT INTO EmpDetails (EMPID, EMPFName, EMPLName, EMPDOB, EMPSal,
EMPHra)VALUES(1,Karthik,'Anbu,01/01/1980, 10000,1500)
EMPHra)VALUES(2,Arun,'Kumar,02/02/1981, 8000,1200)
EMPHra)VALUES(3,Ram,'Kumar,01/02/1982, 6000,1000)
Go
Now configure the source to get the details from the table above. Once the source is
configured now we need to do the configuration for the destination section. So here we are
going to create a new table as shown in the below script
CREATE TABLE EmpDetailsDestination (EmpFullName varchar(21), EmpAge int, EmpCTC int,
InsertedDate DATETIME)
Now the records in both the source and destination tables are shown in the below screen
Our primary goal is to do some manipulations using the derived column task and save it in a
separate table. So we are configure the Derived Column by double clicking the control will
open the window for configuration as shown in the below screen
In the expression section if you see we have created some expressions to do some
manipulations as per our requirement.

manipulation and transform data to a new column.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 44 Export Column Transformations in SSIS
4Comments

Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Export column transformation in SSIS
packaging. Export column transformation task is used in cases where we need to read the
data from the data flow in the package and save the information to a file. Say for example if
we want to get some information of a product or an order to be saved in a file, like product
image for sending mail to the user we can use this task. Unlike the other transformations
this task does not require a destination task to create a file. Lets jump start to the section
on how to do that using a sample package.
[more]
Steps:
the Export Columns control. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Export
Column control and a source provider as shown in the below image.
Now configure the source provider by mapping to the correct database and the table as
Now we need to configure the Export Column task, to configure double click on the control
will open the window as shown in the below screen.
Here we have option to select the column where the path to be places as. You can also find
checkboxes at the right side.
Allow Append Will create a new file and add the data to the end of an existing file
Force Truncate Will overwrite the file if it already exists.
Now once the package creating is completed, press F5 to start the build and the execution of
the package. Once the package is executed you can find the screen as shown in the below
image
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Export Column Transformation to do some
manipulation and transform data to a new column.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 45 Fuzzy Grouping Transformation in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Fuzzy Grouping task. This task is mainly
used to group some similar data in a row and cleaning the duplicates to maintain a standard
of the table. This task requires a connection to the SQL database that the transformation
algorithm requires to. Lets jump start to the section on how to do that using a sample
package.
[more]
Steps:
the Fuzzy Grouping control. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Fuzzy
Grouping control and a source provider as shown in the below image.
Now I configured the OELDB source by selecting Order tables from Northwind database as
shown in the below screen.
Now we need to configure the Fuzzy Grouping, double click on the task and it will open the
window as shown in the below screen
We need to do the configuration as shown in the below screen. Now we will see on how the
fuzzy grouping transformation works out. Go to the Columns tab and select the row which
we need to exact do the full search of the reduplicating and applying the fuzzy algorithm.
CustomerID is the value which we are going to do a fuzzy grouping using the in-build
algorithm, Here we have different options to search for the conditions.
Match Type has 2 values as EXACT and FUZZY. Exact do the exact match for the specified
column and give the result only it matches the exact value. Fuzzy do a similar search and
checks for some particular value and uses it to do the transformation like (Example a column
employee name has Karthik A and Karthik B if the type is Fuzzy then it takes this value into
account where in Exact it will not take since last name A and B changes)
How exactly the algorithm works out is as follows
Step 1 It transforms and loads the data to a temporary table
Step 2 Fuzzy algorithm takes into account and searches for the matched ones
Step 3 For each row the transformation conditions checks for the match above the
threshold and created an exact match
Step 4 Applies the resulted output to the packages to proceed further.
The columns available for the fuzzy grouping logic are as follows
Input Column Selected columns

Output Alias This values comes as output for the fuzzy inputs
Group Output Alias This values holds the best value match
Match Type Exact or Fuzzy selection
Minimum Similarity Has the minimum similarity value
Similarity Output Alias Has the similarity score for that column
Numerals Handles the matched data in number
Comparison Flags Checks for the comparison string handling
Now move to the next tab Advanced as shown in the below image
Here we update the global values which are used across the package to handle the fuzzy
transformation can be applied here. The main feature here we need to look is the similarity
threshold where we need to specify the minimum threshold match that should be accepted
in the transformation.
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Fuzzy Grouping transformation task and
the key configurations used in order to use this task handy.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 46 Fuzzy Lookup Transformation in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Fuzzy Lookup transformation in SSIS.
Fuzzy lookup transformation uses an equi join to do a check for the matching records across
the tables. Fuzzy lookup can be used in place where we have a large number of corrupted
data and we need to consider doing a cleanup and processing the data to be available
across the systems.
[more]
Take an example when we need to write a package which fetches the details from the
customer table and process the data to some systems, in that case if there is some
mismatch in the name then also we need to process the data at that situation we can have
this fuzzy lookup which takes the matchup as per the threshold and process the missing
records so that the accuracy comes into picture. Lets jump start on how to use this task in
real time and see the steps to do the configurations.
Steps:
the Fuzzy Lookup control. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Fuzzy Lookup
control and a source provider as shown in the below image.
There are some Red Cross icons on the tasks which indicate that the controls are not
configured yet. Now lets start to configure the controls in the coming sections. First
configure the Source provider as shown in the below task.
Now the Source provider is configured, which mean we have the data to process in our
package, here we need to see the corrupted data that is like any data repeated and anything
against the policy for the business. Now lets configure the Fuzzy Lookup as shown in the
below screen
Configure for each tabs as shown below
Here we have an option to create a new index or use an existing index, normally Fuzzy
lookup creates an index to do the check for the sorting and do the transformation for
checking the duplication of values accordingly. If we have an existing index on the table then
we have option to use the same instead of creating a new one to maintain the performance
of the table.
The above image shows on which column we should map and which column holds the
responsibility of doing the column check.
The above screen shows the advanced setting on to use the fuzzy lookup transformation like
providing the threshold and giving the exact match for the fuzzy transformation
After finishing the configuration your screen looks like below image
Executing the package (Press F5) will execute the package and your screen looks like below.
This indicates that the package is executed perfectly.
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Fuzzy Lookup transformation task and the
key configurations used in order to use this task handy.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 47 Import Column Transformation in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use Import Column transformation in SSIS.
Import column is used in order to import some data from a file to the data flow and do some
manipulations and then forward the data to the destination, here the data includes a binary
file, an image, a media, or any sort of document which is huge to handle across. If we want
to move a huge file from one location to the other using the package we can use this to
import them using this transformation.
[more]
A practical exposure to this transformation is say you have a product with some customer
reviews, when we need to archive the product (include product image) with the customer
reviews then we can go with this task. Lets jump start on how to use this task in real time
and see the steps to do the configurations.
Steps:
the Import Column Transformation task. Once you open the project just drag and drop the
Import Column control and a source provider as shown in the below image.
Now we need to create a table which has the file location. I have created a table as shown in
the below script with a record having the file path.
Scripts:
Create table ImportColumnSample
(
PhotoName varchar(50),
Photolocation varchar(200)
)
Insert into ImportColumnSample values(File1,D:\Books\Book1.pdf)
Select * from ImportColumnSample
Now we need to configure the source provider as shown in the below screen
Once the source is configured we are now in place to handle the import. Now we need to
configure the import column transformation. To configure that double click on the control will
open the configuration window as shown below
There are 3 different tabs we need to configure. Lets see the different sections on how to
configure each and the import sections that should be taken care when we configure.
The first tab has the basic information on about the transformation on having a unique id for
the transformation; name and description which we no need to take care of.
Second tab looks like below
This is the most important configuration where we need to select the path where the file is
exactly located. Here Photolocation is the file path where the file is located.
Now if you see the main screen it will show as if an error is there in the package as shown in
the below screen
This is mainly because we have not configured the output column upon which the
transformation has to happen. So double click once again the Import column transformation.
It will open the same window, now navigate to the 3rd tab as shown below
Here navigate to the Import Column Output in the tree view and select Output Columns and
then click on Add Column. Here only we need to create an output column as shown in the
below screen
We need to note down 2 things in the above image, LineageID this is autogenerated in our
example it generated it as 144 and the Name which we have given it as
sampleoutputcolumn.
Now move to the ImportColumnInput and navigate to the path as shown in the below screen
and we can find a property FileDataColumnId and give the value 144 which its generated in
the output column as shown in the below screen
Once this configuration is over then we are get ready with the data flow which has the file
and the location where it resides. Now your screen looks like below
We can use any destination as per our business to access the file and do the necessary
transformations across the flow. If we run the process now it will execute the package and
show the output as shown below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Import Column task and the key
configurations used in order to use this task handy.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 48 Lookup Transformation in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use Lookup Transformation in SSIS Packaging.
Lookup transformations are mainly used to provide a join with some other source with the
current source and fetch the result in a much needed format. Joining source can be any one
of the following: cached objects, a table, a destination file source, a result from a query etc.
Lookup transformations are available for the below data sources only SQL, Oracle and DB2.
[more]
Lets jump start on how to use this task in real time and see the steps to do the
configurations. You can look into my series of article on SSIS at the url
- http://f5debug.net/tutorial/ssis.aspx
Steps:
the Lookup Transformation task. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Lookup
control and a source provider as shown in the below image.
You can see the red marks on the control which indicates that the configuration is not done
with the controls. Lets do the configuration one by one so that its easy for the readers to
get it done practically.
The scenario which we are going to take and create a package is we have a sample text file
which has the customer details we are going to make use of that as source and do a lookup
with the database and the finally send it to the destination db.
Now configure the source file with the source provider as shown below
Now we need to configure the lookup transformation as shown in the below screen. Here we
need to select the table where the lookup should happen and select the mapping correctly
Here using the region code only we are going to do the lookup and do the mappings and get
the desired result based on the flat file and the source.
Once we are done with the configuration of the source and the lookup transformation we
need to specify the destination. Please take care of the mapping as the priority. Here in this
example since I dont have the desired table as output I map it some other destination table
for time being shown an output as shown below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Lookup transformation task and the key

these are some of the real time usage which I came across.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 50 Merge Transformation in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use Merge transformation in SSIS Packaging.
Merge transformation is used in cases where we need to get data from 2 different data
source and merge in order specified and send the result to the destination. Merge
transformation can be very effective when we need to do manipulation across the data sets
or the data source.
[more]
Lets jump start on how to use this task in real time and see the steps to do the
configurations. You can look into my series of article on SSIS at the url
- http://f5debug.net/tutorial/ssis.aspx
Steps:
the Merge Transformation task. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Merge
transformation control and a source provider as shown in the below image.
Now we need to start configuring the transformation. Let us start with configuring the source
data, for that we need to create table as shown in the below screen.
Scripts:
Create table Merger1( Empid int,EmpName Varchar(50))
Create table Merger2( Empid int, EmpName Varchar(50))
Insert into Merger1 values (1,Arun)
Insert into Merger1 values (3,Karthik)

Insert into Merger1 values (4,Amit)
Insert into Merger1 values (6,Vinoth)
Insert into Merger2 values (2,Vijay)
Insert into Merger2 values (3,Karthik)
Insert into Merger2 values (5,Ruthesh)
Insert into Merger2 values (7,Ruthra)
Select * from Merger1
Select * from Merger2
To configure the sources we need to do the below steps. Here we are going to use a query to
fetch the data as shown below
Select Empid,EmpName From Merger1 Order by Empid
Select Empid,EmpName From Merger2 Order by Empid
Your screen looks like below after you configure the first data source.
Similarly do the second data source as shown below
Now once configured the sources we need to configure the Merge transformation task by
mapping both the merger source with the merge as shown below
Here we need to do some steps do take the Merge task accept the sources, for this we need
to give the sorting to true. Since the task by itself will not make the sorting to merge the
data. For that you need to right click on the sources task and select Show advanced editor
and select the input output properties tab and click on the OLEDB Source output. Then
change the IsSorted property to True on the output.
Now we are done with configuration of the sources and the merge task. Now we need to get
the output for that we can use a flat file destination as shown in the below screen
Now execute the task (Press F5) you will get the desired output as shown below.
The output we can see in the file which we specified at the configuration of the destination
task.
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Merge transformation task and the key
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 51 Merge Transformation (Setting Sorting) in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to set the sorting properties of the merge
transformation. In my previous article you can see the steps on how to use the merge
transformation. To set the transformation merge we need to follow some setting which
should be taken in the Source data source.
[more]
Lets jump start to see this sample on how to set the properties of the sorting. You can look
into my series of article on SSIS at the url - http://f5debug.net/tutorial/ssis.aspx
Steps:
the Merge Transformation task. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Merge
transformation control and a source provider as shown in the previous article. Follow the
steps till adding the merge control with the input data sources. Your screen will look like
below
You can see some executing symbol shows on the data source as shown in the above screen
and in the merge transformation you can see its showing the failed execution process.
Now right click on the data source (Merger Source 1) and select Show Advanced Editor as
Now move to the Input and output properties as shown in the below screen and select the
IsSorted = true as shown below
Now click on the + symbol and go to Output columns and select SortkeyPosition to 1 as
Now click on ok and go to the main screen, you can see Data Source 1 is configured
correctly and the second one still showing the execution failure fail as shown below
Do the steps configuration which we did for Data source 2 as well and you can see the result
set as shown below
Now you are done with the steps and the sorting properties as enable and ready for
execution.
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Merge transformation(Sorting properties)
task and the key configurations used in order to use this task
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 52 Merge Join Transformation in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Merge Join Transformation in SSIS
packaging. Merge Join Transformation is similar to merge transformation is it handles
multiple data from different source and merges into one process and handles it as if it came
from a single source. Also Merge simply recombines portions of the data flow without
changing the shape of the buffer, much like a UNION but which maintains the sort order.
Merge Join add elements to the buffer which will change its shape, similar to an INNER, LEFT
OR RIGHT OUTER JOIN.
[more]
Lets jump start to see this sample on how to set the properties of the sorting. You can look
Steps:
the Merge Join Transformation task. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Merge
Join transformation control and a source provider as shown in the below image
Here I configured the source data source from 2 different files as shown below
Source 1:
Source 2:
Now I created a table in the database and host it as the destination database as shown
below
Script:
Create table ProductMaster
(
Productid int,
Productname varchar(50),
ProductDate datetime,
ProductLineId int,
ProductOrderID int,
Productorderdetail varchar(40)
)
Select * from ProductMaster
Now the source files are configured and the sorting properties are enabled as shown in my
previous article. Now let us configure the Merge join task as shown below
Here I make an inner join to perform the task and I select productid as the primary key and
select the list of columns that the destination table should have to be updated as shown in
the above image. Now the task is configured and ready to have data. Now we need to have
a destination system to update the data so we will have the OLEDB destination provider as
shown in the below screen and we configure it with the exact mapping.
Now the complete package is ready to build and execute. Press F5 to do the process, you will
see the screen as below
Now lets see how it got affected in the table. Run the destination system query and see the
end result which will be like below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Merge Join transformation task and the key
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 53 Multi Cast Transformation in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Multicast transformation in SSIS
packaging. Multi cast transformation is used when a portion of the data needs to be
transferred to some other flow which is something similar to Conditional task which do the
same process.
The difference between the Multicast and the conditional split transformations are multicast
direct each row of the source to the every output where as in the conditional split it directs a
row to a single output. So using the multicast we can create data of separate logic and try to
have it secured across the flow. This transformation can have a single input with multiple
outputs across to pass the data.
[more]
Lets jump start to see this sample on how to set the properties of the control. You can look
Steps:
the Multi Cast Transformation task. Once you open the project just drag and drop the Multi
Cast transformation control and a source provider as shown in the below image
Now we need to configure the source data source as shown in the below screen
Once the source is configured now drag and drop 3 destinations providers as shown in the
below screen
1 OLEDB provider task to update the table
2 Flat file provider to update a file
3 Excel provider to update to an excel file
Now lets configure each destination as shown in the below image

Here we created a new table where it will copy the complete dataset to the destination table
using the multicast provider.
Now lets configure the flat file provider as shown in the below screen
Now let us configure the excel destination provider as shown below
Now all the destination providers are configured. Now go back to the Multicast provider and
double click to see the configuration as shown below
Once everything is configured your screen should look like below screen
Now the package is ready to execute. Press F5 and you can see the screen looks like below
which indicates that the execution is completed
To see the output in different destinations we can go ahead to the respective sections as
shown below
Output1: Table
Output 2: Flat file
Output 3: Excel destination file
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the Multi Cast transformation task and the key

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 56 Data Viewers in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see on how to use the Data viewers in SSIS packaging. Data
viewers are used as one of the debugging option for the developers to check the data
between the processes of a packaging. Data viewers are good at places where we have a
minimum data to analyze and then executing the package at the development stage to see
the changed took place in the prior task and proceed to the next task. Lets jump start to see
this sample on how to set the properties of the control.
[more]
Steps:
the data viewers to see the data flow. Now once the project is opened drag and drop a
source and a destination task along with a dataflow to do some manipulation as shown
below
Now we will do a small task on copying the data from the source table to a destination file
using the OLEDB source and Flatfile destination as shown above.
Now lets configure both the tasks to make a flow as shown below
Source Configuration:
Destination Configuration:
Now your screen looks like below after the configuration is completed
Now when we execute the package it will do the execution but we are not sure at what point
what happens. So in order to see the transformation between the source and the destination
we can use a data viewer browser.
Data viewer provides different options to view the data, the types are: Grid, Histogram,
Scatter Plot, and Chart Format. To start the data viewer Right click on the green arrow which
connects the source and destination and select the data viewer. It will open the window as
shown below
Now click on Add button to do the configuration of our required data viewer. It will open the
window as shown below
Now click on ok will take the Grid view. Now we are done with the configuration and ready to
execute the package. We can see a viewer icon next to the arrow as shown below which
indicates that the viewer is active to view.
Now we will execute the package and see the data viewer browser. Press F5 to execute the
package and we can see the data viewer browser as shown in the below screen
We have an arrow button in the browser, once we are done with our analysis we can click on
the button to proceed. Once we click that button the execution start and proceed further and
the final screen will appear as below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen on how to use the data viewer to analyze the data and to
proceed further which acts like a debugging portion for SSIS packaging
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 57 Data Viewers (Histogram) in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see how to use the Data viewers (Histogram) in SSIS
packaging. Data viewers are used as one of the debugging option for the developers to
check the data between the processes of a packaging. Data viewers are good at places
where we have a minimum data to analyze and then executing the package at the
development stage to see the changed took place in the prior task and proceed to the next
task. Lets jump start to see this sample how to set the properties of the control.

Steps:
work on integration services project. Once the project is created, we will see how to use the
data viewers to see the data flow. Now once the project is opened drag and drop a source
and a destination task along with a dataflow to do some manipulation as shown below
using the OLEDB source and Flatfile destination as shown above.
Scatter Plot, and Chart Format. In this sample we will see how to use the Histogram option
to view. To start the data viewer Right click on the green arrow which connects the source
and destination and select the data viewer. It will open the window as shown below
Now we will select the Histogram since we are going to see how to use the Histogram. We

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 60 OLE DB Command Task in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see how to use the OLE DB Command Task in SSIS packaging.
OLE DB Command task is mainly used for set of transformation that happen on each row of
the SQL command which will be executed using this task. Basically the executed SQL
Statements are handled as parameters which will be mapped to the table as an external
source.
[more]
Lets jump start to see this sample how to set the properties of the control. You can look into
my series of article on SSIS at the url - http://f5debug.net/tutorial/ssis.aspx
Steps:
OLE DB Command to see the flow. Now once the project is opened drag and drop a source
and an OLE DB Command task as shown in the screen below
We can see some red marks on each task which indicates that the tasks are not configured.
We need to configure each task so that while execution we can have a smooth process. In
our sample we need two tables as source and destination. So we have created 2 tables as
shown in the screen below
Scripts:
Create table EmployeeSalarySource

(
EmpSourSalary int,
EmpSourGross int,
EmpSourHRA int
)
Create table EmployeeSalaryDestination
(
EmpDestSalary int,
EmpDestGross int,
EmpDestHRA int
)
Select * from EmployeeSalarySource
Select * from EmployeeSalaryDestination
Now we will insert some data to the source table so that we will see a real time example on
the same as shown in the screen below
Now we have a source data table and a destination data table with some sample data in the
source table, in order to proceed with our transformation using OLE DB task we need to
create a stored procedure which takes 3 values as input and process a simple insert
statement in the destination table with small manipulation. So we will create a stored
procedure as shown below
Script:
Create procedure dbo.usp_CalculateEmpSalary
@intEmpSourSalary int,
@intEmpSourGross int,
@intEmpSourHRA int
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
Insert into EmployeeSalaryDestination (EmpDestSalary, EmpDestGross, EmpDestHRA)
Values
(
@intEmpSourSalary * 10,
@intEmpSourGross * 5,
@intEmpSourHRA * 2
)
Now we are ready with the source and destination table with a stored procedure which
prepares the transformation steps. Now lets configure the task step by step as shown in the
screens below
First we are going to configure the OLEDB Source, in this we need to specify our source table
as shown in the screen below
We can see the mapping table column names by navigating to the tab Columns at the right
side menu as shown in the screen below
Now once we are done with the configuration for the Source tables we can see the red mark
is removed as shown in the screen below
Now we will configure the OLE DB Command task, we need to double click the same to go
the configuration window. Once we double click we will see the window as shown in the
screen below
Now we will see how to configure this task. First select the connection manager name using
the drop down as shown in the below screen
Now move to the next tab Component properties. Here we need to specify the source
command that is to be executed across each row on the component. Since in our case its
going to be the stored procedure we should select the procedure as shown in the screen
below
Now we need to move to the next tab Column Mapping. Here we are going to map the
respective columns from the stored procedure to the table so that each will be mapped and
the respective columns take care of execution as shown in the screen below
Now we are ready with our package to build and execute it. Press F5 to build the package
and execute the same. You can see the screen looks like below
This indicates that the execution is completed and we can see the desired output in the
table destination as shown in the screen below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen how to use the OLE DB Command task to execute a
statement on each row set by set and to get the desired result after manipulation.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 61 Percentage Sampling Transformation (Selected Output)
in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see how to use Percentage Sampling transformation in SSIS
Packaging. Percentage sampling transformation is used to split the data set into separate
outputs based on the percent and send it to different transformations for processing the
data set. This task is specifically used for data mining; we can divide the data and send it
across as per our requirement. Lets jump start to see this sample how to set the properties
of the control.
[more]
Steps:
Percentage sampling to see the flow. Now once the projects is opened drag and drop a
source and a Percentage sampling task as shown in the screen below
We need to configure each task so that while execution we can have a smooth process.
Now lets configure each and every task to execute the package. First let us start with the
OLEDB Source as shown in the screen below
Now go to the mappings tab and see the list of columns in the source table which are
mapped correctly as shown in the screen below
Now we are done with the source, we need to configure the percentage sampling task now.
To do that double click on the task will open the window as shown in the screen below
Here we need to specify the percentage of rows to be affected in this transformation and to
proceed further. In our sample we are going to select as 40 as shown in the screen below
Now we are done with the Percentage sampling task, we need to configure the destination
section where the results are expected. To do that drag and drop the green arrow to the
destination task which we created earlier. It will open a configuration window to select the
output name from the percentage sampling task as shown in the screen below
Now we need to select out of the 2 properties which one exactly we require based on our
requirement. Here we are going to select as shown in the screen below
Now we need to configure the destination excel as shown in the screens below which is selfexplanatory.
Now we are ready with our package. We need to build and execute it to see the desired
result. So our screen will look like below.
Now to build and execute press F5 and we can see the result window as shown in the screen
below
We can see the number of rows affected and used across. To see the result in the excel
navigate to the path where we configured our destination and open the excel, we can see
the result as shown in the screen below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen how to use the Percentage Sampling to execute data set and
split based on the percent and uses it across the requirement.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 62 Percentage Sampling Transformation (Un-Selected
Output) in SSIS
Introduction:

dataset into separate outputs based on the percent and send it to different transformations
for processing the dataset. This task is specifically used for data mining; we can divide the
data and send it across as per our requirement. Lets jump start to see this sample how to
set the properties of the control.
[more]
Steps:
output name from the percentage sampling task as shown in the screen below
below
navigate to the path where we configured our destination and open the excel, we can see
the result as shown in the screen below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen how to use the Percentage Sampling (Un-Selected Output) to
execute dataset and split based on the percent and uses it across the requirement.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 63 Percentage Sampling Transformation (Selected and UnSelected Output) in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see how to use Percentage Sampling transformation (Selected
and Un-Selected Output) both at a same time in SSIS Packaging. Percentage sampling
transformation is used to split the dataset into separate outputs based on the percent and
send it to different transformations for processing the dataset. This task is specifically used
for data mining; we can divide the data and send it across as per our requirement. Lets
jump start to see this sample how to set the properties of the control.
[more]
Steps:
output name from the percentage sampling task as shown in the screen below. Since we
have 2 destinations in our package now we will send across the Selected Output and the
unselected output based on our requirement as shown in the screen below
Now our screen will have both the Selected and the unselected output as shown in the
screen below
Since we have one more destination which is the Flat File destination we need to configure
that as well as shown in the below screens
below with the amount of rows affected for each destinations.
navigate to the path where we configured our destination and open the excel and the
notepad, we can see the result as shown in the screen below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen how to use the Percentage Sampling to execute dataset and
split based on the percent and uses it across the requirement.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Part 64 Row Sampling (Selected Output) Transformation in SSIS
Introduction:
In this article we are going to see how to use Row Sampling transformation in SSIS
Packaging. Row sampling is used to randomly select some rows and move it as output to the
required process as and when required to divide the rows. Example of using this
transformation is say example if we want to select some randomly 10 users of a community
for a random prize then we can use this transformation. In this process we are going to see
an example on how to use this process for the selected output values.
[more]
Lets jump start to see this sample how to set the properties of the control. You can look into
my series of article on SSIS at the url - http://f5debug.net/tutorial/ssis.aspx
Steps:
Now we can see the red mark on to the control which indicates that the controls are yet to
be configured. Now let us configure the source (refer to my previous articles on how to
configure OLEDB source) Now your output will look like below
Now we need to configure the Row Sampling task, double click the task will open the screen
as below
Here we can specify the number of random rows can be selected and the name for the
Sample output selected and unselected. Since in our example we are going to see the
Selected Output we will see on how to use it. Now after specifying the number of rows just
clicks on OK button. Now drag and drop the Flat File Destination as shown in the below
screen
Now drag the green line from the Row Sampling to the Flat File destination task. It will open
a window as shown in the below screen
Here we have selected the Selected output as the Output to get the data as we can see in
the screen above. Now click on OK to do the further configuration of the destination as
Once the configuration is done we can see the screen as below
Now our package is ready to execute. Press F5 and execute the project we can see the
screen as below which indicates that the package is executed successfully
We can see only 10 rows are randomly selected and passed to the destination. We can see
the output by opening the file which we gave in the destination configuration section. You
can see the result as shown in the screen below
Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen how to use the Row Sampling (Selected Output) to execute
dataset and split based on the number of rows and uses it across the requirement.

Please post your comments and any real time scenario which needs to be covered
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Balanced Data Distributor

0Comments
Microsoft SSIS Balanced Data Distributor (BDD) is a new SSIS transform. This transform
takes a single input and distributes the incoming rows to one or more outputs uniformly via
multithreading. The transform takes one pipeline buffer worth of rows at a time and moves it
to the next output in a round robin fashion.
[more]
Its balanced and synchronous so if one of the downstream transforms or destinations is
slower than the others, the rest of the pipeline will stall so this transform works best if all of
the outputs have identical transforms and destinations.
The intention of BDD is to improve performance via multi-threading. Several characteristics
of the scenarios BDD applies to: 1) the destinations would be uniform, or at least be of the
same type. 2) the input is faster than the output, for example, reading from flat file to
OleDB.
You can download BDD from the link http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?
