Why study this course

The SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) course provides a comprehensive overview of SSIS, a powerful data integration and workflow application platform for SQL Server. Students will learn to use the Import/Export Wizard, work with solutions and projects, understand basic control flow, and explore common tasks. The course delves into data flow sources, destinations, transformations, dynamic package creation, containers, troubleshooting, and package reliability. Additionally, students will learn how to deploy to the SSIS Catalog, install and administer SSIS, and secure the SSIS Catalog. Throughout the course, hands-on labs help students gain practical experience and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.

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.

Course subjects

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.

Lessons

  • Import/Export Wizard

  • Exporting Data with the Wizard

  • Common Import Concerns

  • Quality Checking Imported/Exported Data

  • Understanding Solutions and Projects

  • Working with the Visual Studio Interface

Lab 1: Working with Solutions and Projects

  • Import and run a package in SSDT-BI

Module 3: Basic Control Flow
The Control Flow tab of the SSIS Designer is used to organise 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.
