Overview of this book

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. You’ll have explored on-premises Big Data integration processes to create a classic data warehouse, and will know how to extend the toolbox with custom tasks and transforms.

Preface

Requesting an execution tree in SSDT


Every time the execution of an SSIS package is started, the SSIS execution engine first prepares the execution plan. This plan contains the package metadata used by the execution engine to determine the range of resources that are going to be needed to perform the operations defined by the package.

The Execution Tree of a given SSIS package, representing its execution plan, can be prepared on demand at design time. The functionality is available when the SSIS package is being edited in SSDT. The purpose of the Execution Tree is to provide you with the same information the execution engine uses to determine resource usage. By examining the Execution Trees, you can understand the expected behavior of the package in terms of resource usage, and become familiar with resource requirements before the SSIS package is deployed, or used, in the destination environment.

In this recipe, you are going to configure an SSIS package to capture two special events during...
