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.

DTUTIL—the command-line utility for deployment


Package Deployment Model is based on packages and this means that every package should be deployed independently, but Deployment Utility can help to create one setup kit for all packages. Deployment Utility is helpful but it needs a user who is familiar with SSIS to choose destination type, set server properties, and other things which were in Package Installation Wizard. There should be a method to deploy everything without interaction with the user in silent mode.

Fortunately, SSIS provides a command-line utility—DTUTIL.exe—for Package Deployment Model. We can write statements on DTUTIL to deploy packages in silent mode.

In this recipe, we take a look at how to deploy packages with DTUTIL.

How to do it...

  1. Open the command-prompt window and go to the following path in the command prompt:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn
    
  2. Type the following command:
