About this book
Why are custom components necessary? Because even though the SSIS catalog of built-in tasks and components is a marvel of engineering, there do remain gaps in the functionality that is provided. These gaps are especially relevant to enterprises practicing Data Integration Lifecycle Management (DILMS) and/or DevOps.
One of the gaps is a limitation of the SSIS Execute Package task. Developers using the stock version of that task are unable to select SSIS packages from other projects. Yet it’s useful to be able to select and execute tasks across projects, and the example used throughout this book will help you to create an Execute Catalog Package task that does in fact allow you to execute a task from another project. Building on the example’s pattern, you can create any task that you like, custom tailored to your 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 Visual Studio Team Services, or your own favorite tool set
- Code not only your tasks themselves, but also the associated task editors
- Troubleshoot and then execute your custom tasks as part of your own project
Who This Book Is For
Database administrators and developers who are involved in ETL projects built around SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Readers should have a background in programming along with a desire to optimize their ETL efforts by creating custom-tailored tasks for execution from SSIS packages.
