Build custom SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) tasks using Visual
Studio Community Edition and C#. Bring all the power of Microsoft .NET
to bear on your data integration and ETL processes, and for no added
cost over what you've already spent on licensing SQL Server. New in this
edition is a demonstration deploying a custom SSIS task to the Azure
Data Factory (ADF) Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime (IR).
All examples in this new edition are implemented in C#. Custom task
developers are shown how to implement custom tasks using the widely
accepted and default language for .NET development.
Why are custom components necessary? Because even though the SSIS
catalog of built-in tasks and components is a marvel of engineering,
gaps remain in the available functionality. One such gap is a constraint
of the built-in SSIS Execute Package Task, which does not allow SSIS
developers to select SSIS packages from other projects in the SSIS
Catalog. Examples in this book show how to create a custom Execute
Catalog Package task that allows SSIS developers to execute tasks from
other projects in the SSIS Catalog. Building on the examples and
patterns in this book, SSIS developers may create any task to which they
aspire, custom tailored to their specific data integration and ETL
needs.
**
What You Will Learn
**
- Configure and execute Visual Studio in the way that best supports SSIS
task development
- Create a class library as the basis for an SSIS task, and reference
the needed SSIS assemblies
- Properly sign assemblies that you create in order to invoke them from
your task
- Implement source code control via Azure DevOps, or your own favorite
tool set
- Troubleshoot and execute custom tasks as part of your own projects
- Create deployment projects (MSIs) for distributing code-complete tasks
- Deploy custom tasks to Azure Data Factory Azure-SSIS IRs in the cloud
- Create advanced editors for custom task parameters
Who This Book Is For
For database administrators and developers who are involved in ETL
projects built around SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Readers do
not need a background in software development with C#. Most important is
a desire to optimize ETL efforts by creating custom-tailored tasks for
execution in SSIS packages, on-premises or in ADF Azure-SSIS IRs.
