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.

Project Deployment Model: Project Deployment from SSDT


SSDT is not a tool only for SSIS Package Development, but also for deployment of packages. There are two types of deployment models in SSIS 2012. In this recipe, we will take a look at Project Deployment Model with SSDT and in the fourth recipe of this chapter we will take a look at Package Deployment Model.

To use Project Deployment Model, we need an SSIS Catalog. SSIS Catalog is a repository for SSIS projects, which also manages their versioning and parameters. We will take a look at how to execute packages and get reports from SSIS Catalog in the next chapters.

Getting ready

Create an SSIS Catalog as follows:

  1. Open SSMS from Start | Microsoft SQL Server | SQL Server Management Studio.

  2. Connect to Database Engine (default instance like machine name or instance name such as machine_name\instance_name).

  3. In the Object Explorer, expand the Integration Services Catalogs under the database server node. If there is no SSIS Catalog there, right-click...
