Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Integration Services: An Expert Cookbook

Overview of this book

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a leading tool in the data warehouse industry - used for performing extraction, transformation, and load operations. This book is aligned with the most common methodology associated with SSIS known as Extract Transform and Load (ETL); ETL is responsible for the extraction of data from several sources, their cleansing, customization, and loading into a central repository normally called Data Warehouse or Data Mart.Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Integration Services: An Expert Cookbook covers all the aspects of SSIS 2012 with lots of real-world scenarios to help readers understand usages of SSIS in every environment. Written by two SQL Server MVPs who have in-depth knowledge of SSIS having worked with it for many years.This book starts by creating simple data transfer packages with wizards and illustrates how to create more complex data transfer packages, troubleshoot packages, make robust SSIS packages, and how to boost the performance of data consolidation with SSIS. It then covers data flow transformations and advanced transformations for data cleansing, fuzzy and term extraction in detail. The book then dives deep into making a dynamic package with the help of expressions and variables, and performance tuning and consideration.

Execution from a command-line utility


Execution of a package from SSMS is very easy and handy, but there are many cases where you might want to execute a package from the command line in silent mode, or you may want to run it from an external application or you may want to run some SSIS packages within a batch file. SSIS provides a Command Line Utility to support such cases and execute a package without need of any specific GUI.

In this recipe we will execute a package from the Command Line Utility and will discuss different options for execution.

Getting ready

We need to have an SSIS project deployed on SSMS from Chapter 9, Deployment.

How to do it...

  1. Open the Command Prompt and go to this path:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn

    And run this command:

    DTExec /?
    
  2. Then run this command:

    DTExec /SQL P02_Child
    

    P02_Child package will be run and its execution log will appear in the command prompt window. This command runs a package from SQL Server storage.

  3. Then run the following command...
