55321: Building Packages with SSIS Courseware

This five-day instructor-led course is intended for IT professionals who need to learn how to use SSIS to build, deploy, maintain, and secure Integration Services projects and packages, and to use SSIS to extract, transform, and load data to and from SQL Server. This course is similar to the retired Course 20767-C: Implementing a SQL Data Warehouse but focuses more on building packages, rather than the entire data warehouse design and implementation. Audience Profile The primary audience for this course is database professionals who need to fulfil a Business Intelligence Developer role. They will need to focus on hands-on work creating BI solutions including Data Warehouse implementation, ETL, and data cleansing. At Course Completion After completing this course, students will be able to: Create sophisticated SSIS packages for extracting, transforming, and loading data Use containers to efficiently control repetitive tasks and transactions Configure packages to dynamically adapt to environment changes Successfully troubleshoot packages Create and Manage the SSIS Catalog Deploy, configure, and schedule packages Secure the SSIS Catalog Course Details  Course Duration: 5 Days Module 1: SSIS Overview This module explains the purpose of SSIS and teaches how to use the Import/Export Wizard to exchange data between data structures.

Understand solutions and projects. Work with the Visual Studio interface. Module 3: Basic Control Flow The Control Flow tab of the SSIS Designer is used to organize the general flow of your package execution. The control flow of a package includes different element types, such as tasks, containers, and precedence constraints. Each of these element types has a set of properties that you will use to define and manage individual instances of these elements. In this module, students learn to add containers or tasks from the SSIS Toolbox to the Control Flow Designer. Lessons Working with Tasks Understanding Precedence Constraints Annotating Packages Grouping Tasks Package and Task Properties Connection Managers Favorite Tasks Lab 1: Basic Control Flow Precedence Constraints and Execute SQL Task After completing this module, students will be able to: Understand the control flow. Work with tasks. Understand precedence constraints. Annotate packages. Group tasks. Work with package and task properties. Work with connection managers. Module 4: Common Tasks Microsoft has organized the tasks in the Common section of the SSIS Toolbox alphabetically. This module will touch on the functionality of each of these tasks, and provide Try It exercises for the tasks that are most commonly seen in classes and companies. Lessons Analysis Services Processing Bulk Insert Task Data Profiling Task Execute Package Task Execute Process Task Expression Task File System Task FTP Task Hadoop Tasks Script Task Introduction Send Mail Task Web Service Task XML Task Lab 1: Common Tasks Create a package to copy a file and send an email message on completion Create a package to perform data profiling and then review the results Create a master package and test the execution flow of the child packages After completing this module, students will be able to: Understand the Analysis Services processing task. Use the Bulk Insert task. Use the Data Profiling task. Use the Execute Package task. Use the Execute Process task. Use the Expression task. Use the File System task. Understand the FTP task. Understand the Hadoop tasks. Understand the Script task Introduction. Use the Send Mail task. Understand the Web Service task. Understand the XML task. Module 5: Data Flow Sources and Destinations In this module, students will learn to work with data flow sources and destinations. Lessons The Data Flow Task The Data Flow SSIS Toolbox Working with Data Sources SSIS Data Sources Working with Data Destinations SSIS Data Destinations Lab 1: Data Flow Sources and Destinations Working with Data Sources and Destinations After completing this module, students will be able to: Use the Data Flow Task. Use the Data Flow SSIS Toolbox. Work with Data Sources. Work with Data Destinations. Module 6: Data Flow Transformations In this module, students learn about transformations, which allow you to modify data in the data flow pipeline. Lessons Transformations Configuring Transformations Lab 1: Data Flow Transformations Working with Derived Column Transformations Working with Lookup Transformations After completing this module, students will be able to: Working with Derived Column Transformations Working with Lookup Transformations Module 7: Making Packages Dynamic In this module, students will learn to make SSIS packages dynamic. Lessons Features for Making Packages Dynamic Package Parameters Project Parameters Variables SQL Parameters Expressions in Tasks Expressions in Connection Managers After Deployment How It All Fits Together Lab 1: Making Packages Dynamic Making a Package Dynamic After completing this module, students will be able to: Understand the features for making packages dynamic. Use package parameters. Use project parameters. Use variables. Use SQL parameters. Use expressions in tasks. Use expressions in connection managers. Understand how it all fits together. Module 8: Containers In this module, students learn to use containers, which provide a way to organize tasks that need to be managed together as a group. Lessons Sequence Containers For Loop Containers Foreach Loop Containers Lab 1: Containers Use a Foreach Loop container to send a custom email to the names found in a database view After completing this module, students will be able to: Work with containers. Sequence containers. Use For Loop containers. Use Foreach Loop containers. Module 9: Troubleshooting and Package Reliability This module puts together common troubleshooting methods along with some of the reliability features for SSIS all in one place. Lessons Understanding MaximumErrorCount Breakpoints Redirecting Error Rows Logging Event Handlers Using Checkpoints Transactions Lab 1: Troubleshooting and Package Reliability Creating a Script Task to Merge Error Messages Configure a package to use transactions After completing this module, students will be able to: Understand MaximumErrorCount. Work with breakpoints. Redirect error rows. Understand Package Logging. Use Event Handlers. Use the Checkpoint feature. Use Transactions. Module 10: Deploying to the SSIS Catalog The project deployment model provides the framework for new functionality such as the SSIS catalog, environments, project level parameters and project level connection managers. This module explains how to deploy projects to the SSIS catalog. Lessons The SSIS Catalog Deploying Projects Working with Environments Executing Packages in SSMS Executing Packages from the Command Line Deployment Model Differences Lab 1: Deploying to the SSIS Catalog Deploying a Project to the SSIS Catalog Manually executing a Package After completing this module, students will be able to: Understand SSIS deployment and the SSIS catalog.
