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.

We'll now deploy the data warehouse database that is called AdventureWorksLTDW2016.

This recipe assumes that you have access to the sample solution that is available for this book and you have read and executed all the steps to deploy the source database.

How to do it...

The steps will be essentially similar to the ones used to deploy the source database. Since we explained most of the steps previously, this recipe will be more concise:

  1. The DB.AdventureWorksDW project contains the following schemas:
    • Cube: This contains specific database objects, mainly views that can be used by an SSAS cube.
    • dbo: This the default schema.
    • DW: This folder contains database objects that belong to the DW schema, that is, the data warehouse star schema objects.
    • Scripts: This is a folder that holds pre or post-deployment scripts, as well as utility scripts.
    • Staging: This folder contains database objects used by the Staging schema.
    • SystemLog: This folder contains database objects...
