Connector Overview
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) connector allows importing SSIS package contents from .dtsx files. The extracted objects and their correspondences are detailed in the following table:
| SSIS object | DataGalaxy object |
|---|---|
| SSIS Package | Data Flow |
| Data Flow | Data Processing |
| Source (Data Flow) | Data Processing Input |
| Target (Data Flow) | Data Processing Output |
Step 1: Installation
- Download DataGalaxy connector from the portal (see here)
- Extract the connector archive in the directory of your choice
- Download the SSIS plug-in from the portal and copy it into the /lib directory of the connector
Step 2: Run the SSIS connector
- After starting the connector, access Processing type connectors:
- If it has been correctly installed, the SSIS plug-in appears in the list
- The following information is requested:
| Parameter | Mandatory | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace folder | Yes | Directory containing the SSIS packages (.dtsx files) to be imported. The subdirectories will also be browsed. |
| Mapping File | No | Path to a file allowing to define string substitutions in the generated CSV file (an example is provided in the /samples directory of the connector). |
| Custom components file | No | Path to a file allowing to take into account custom SSIS components as a source or destination for processing in DataGalaxy (see below). |
Custom component configuration (optional)
The addition of components is done through a configuration file to be used when running the connector. An example is provided in the /samples directory of the connector.
To add a new component, you have to fill in the following properties:
| Key Configuration | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [$key].usercomponenttypename | Corresponds to the value of the UserComponentTypeName property related to the component | KingswaySoft.IntegrationToolkit.DynamicsCrm.CrmSourceComponent |
| [$key].dataprocessingtype | Identify if the component should be considered as an input or an output of the process (put input or output) | intput |
| [$key].tablepropertyname | Value of the component property to be used to identify the table concerned. | SourceEntity |
The [$key] value of the configuration keys must be replaced by a unique name that will identify a set of configuration keys (1 key per component).
These properties can be identified by opening in a text editor an SSIS package containing a custom component that you want to take into account.
Once this information is filled in, you can launch the import procedure.
