SQL Server 2017 Integration Services Cookbook

What Is New in SSIS 2016

This chapter will cover the following recipes:

  • Creating an SSIS Catalog
  • Custom logging
  • Azure tasks and transforms
  • Incremental package deployment
  • Multiple version support
  • Error column name
  • Control flow templates

Introduction

The 2016 release of SQL Server Integration Services is a major revision of the software. But, instead of being a complete re-write of the product, it's more an evolution of the product. Here is the SSIS timeline since its beginning in SQL Server 7.0 (1998):

In the early years of SQL Server, Microsoft introduced a tool to help developers and database administrator (DBA) to interact with the data: Data Transformation Services (DTS). The tool was very primitive compared to SSIS and it mostly relied on ActiveX and T-SQL to transform the data. SSIS V1.0 (2005) appeared in 2005. The tool was a game changer in the ETL world at the time. It was a professional and (pretty much) reliable tool for 2005. 2008/2008 R2 versions were much the same as 2005 in the sense that they didn't add much functionality, but they made the tool more scalable.

In 2012, Microsoft enhanced...

Creating SSIS Catalog

This section will walk you through the various steps to create an SSIS Catalog in SSMS. As mentioned before, the SSIS Catalog contains information about the package components and their execution. As we will see later in the book, SSIS projects are deployed into this catalog. It can be easily queried for custom reports as well, allowing us to create SSIS executions using T-SQL. This is very useful for on-demand executions of SSIS packages.

SSIS versions prior to 2012 did not have these capabilities since the catalog appeared with 2012. It is still possible to bypass the deployment to an SSIS Catalog by using a special mode: the package deployment model. This is mostly used for backward compatibility with previous SSIS frameworks.

Getting ready

...

Custom logging

This section will talk about various loggings and how we can customize logging to suit our needs in terms of logging information. The reason why we need logging is because we want to retrieve some information on our package executions.

Here are some examples of logging info we might be interested in getting:

  • How much time it took to execute a specific package
  • How many rows have been transferred from one transform to another in our data flows
  • What were the warnings or errors that were issued by the package execution
  • The new values that have been assigned to a variable in a package, and so on

All the topics listed here will be discussed in the next sections of the book. For now, we'll focus on the customized logging levels.

There are various ways that we can log package execution information in SSIS. In versions prior to 2012 (or if we opt for a Package Deployment...

Azure tasks and transforms

This section will guide you on how to install the Azure Feature Pack that, in turn, will install Azure control flow task and data flow components. The Azure ecosystem is becoming predominant in Microsoft ecosystems and SSIS has not been left over in the past few years.

The Azure Feature Pack is not an SSIS 2016 specific feature. It's also available for SSIS version 2012 and 2014. It's worth mentioning that it appeared in July 2015, a few months before the SSIS 2016 release.

Getting ready

This section assumes that you have installed SQL Server Data Tools 2015.

How to do it...

...

Incremental package deployment

Prior to SSIS 2012, packages needed to be deployed one by one. We were usually downloading all packages from the source control software, such as Team Foundation Server (TFS), Visual Source Safe, SVN, and so on. Once downloaded, packages were moved to their destination. At that time, the person who deployed the packages had the choice to overwrite or skip existing packages. Usually, they overwrote all the packages since they were using the source control.

For those who didn't use the source control, they had all the necessary flexibility to deploy what needed to be deployed. Usually, they were keeping a backup somewhere on a file share of all packages. The reason why they chose what to deploy was mainly because they had doubts about the consistency of the packages in the file share. They were simply not sure of the state of the packages because...

Multiple version support

Since its inception, SSIS designer never supported backward compatibility. For example, if you developed a package in SSIS 2014 and tried to deploy it in a SSIS 2012 catalog, you would not be able to do it. Or worse, if you opened a package developed with SSIS 2012 with a SSDT that was used with SSIS 2014, the package was upgraded. When another developer tried to open it with SSDT used for SSIS 2012, he/she was not able to do it. The package was upgraded, period.

With SSIS 2016, SSDT had the following enhancements:

  • Backward compatibility to prior SSIS versions down to SSIS 2012.
  • Unified SSDT: as we'll see later in the book, SSDT can be used for BI components development as well as database development. Prior to SSDT for Visual Studio 2015, it was confusing whether we were using SSDT-BI for BI development or SSDT-SQL for database development.

A really good kick start for doing most things in SSIS. Requires some basic knowledge of SSIS and thinking abilities, so you can apply the recipes of the book to your environment. I enjoyed the later chapters of the book most, when I could get jump-started into R, Azure and load balancing features that would be hard to learn without instructions.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
