ETL with Azure Cookbook

By: Christian Cote, Matija Lah, Madina Saitakhmetova

Overview of this book

ETL is one of the most common and tedious procedures for moving and processing data from one database to another. With the help of this book, you will be able to speed up the process by designing effective ETL solutions using the Azure services available for handling and transforming any data to suit your requirements. With this cookbook, you’ll become well versed in all the features of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to perform data migration and ETL tasks that integrate with Azure. You’ll learn how to transform data in Azure and understand how legacy systems perform ETL on-premises using SSIS. Later chapters will get you up to speed with connecting and retrieving data from SQL Server 2019 Big Data Clusters, and even show you how to extend and customize the SSIS toolbox using custom-developed tasks and transforms. This ETL book also contains practical recipes for moving and transforming data with Azure services, such as Data Factory and Azure Databricks, and lets you explore various options for migrating SSIS packages to Azure. Toward the end, you’ll find out how to profile data in the cloud and automate service creation with Business Intelligence Markup Language (BIML). By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills you need to create and automate ETL solutions on-premises as well as in Azure.

Deploying SSIS customizations

In this recipe, you are going to deploy the custom task and custom component that you created in the previous recipes in this chapter to the SQL Server instance on your workstation. You are going to copy the assembly files to the destinations used by the SSIS runtime and register them in the Windows Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

You will finish this recipe by implementing both of these customizations in two SSIS packages. You are going to see them in action – at design time, and at runtime.

Getting ready

This recipe depends on the results of the previous two recipes, Designing a Custom Control Flow Task, and Designing a Custom Data Flow Component, in this chapter. You need to complete both previous recipes successfully before you can complete this recipe.

How to do it…

You are going to start these tasks in the file system of your workstation, and then continue in SSDT by completing an existing SSIS solution:

  1. Use Windows...
