SQL Server Integration Services is a tool that facilitates data extraction, consolidation, and loading options (ETL), SQL Server coding enhancements, data warehousing, and customizations. With the help of the recipes in this book, you’ll gain complete hands-on experience of SSIS 2017 as well as the 2016 new features, design and development improvements including SCD, Tuning, and Customizations. At the start, you’ll learn to install and set up SSIS as well other SQL Server resources to make optimal use of this Business Intelligence tools. We’ll begin by taking you through the new features in SSIS 2016/2017 and implementing the necessary features to get a modern scalable ETL solution that fits the modern data warehouse. Through the course of chapters, you will learn how to design and build SSIS data warehouses packages using SQL Server Data Tools. Additionally, you’ll learn to develop SSIS packages designed to maintain a data warehouse using the Data Flow and other control flow tasks. You’ll also be demonstrated many recipes on cleansing data and how to get the end result after applying different transformations. Some real-world scenarios that you might face are also covered and how to handle various issues that you might face when designing your packages. At the end of this book, you’ll get to know all the key concepts to perform data integration and transformation.

Configuring SSIS for scale out executions


We'll now configure the SSIS catalog and workers to be able to use scale out executions with SSIS.

Getting ready

This recipe assumes that you've installed SQL Server 2017, SSIS in scale out mode as well as SSMS 17.1 or later.

How to do it...

  1. Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the newly installed SQL Server 2017 instance.
  2. In the Object Explorer, right-click on the Integration Services Catalogs node and select Create Catalog.
  3. The Create Catalog window appears. As shown in the following screenshot, check the Enable this server as SSIS scale out master option as well as providing a password for the catalog. Click on OK when finished.

  1. Still in SSMS, run the following SQL statements. The first statement lists the workers available. Copy the WorkerAgentId into the clipboard by right-clicking on the value in the grid and select Copy. Type the second SQL statement and use the clipboard's content as parameter (the grayed-out shape in the screenshot...
