Understanding the SSIS Reference

Introduction

The SSIS Reference provides a comprehensive set of code samples and documentation for the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) framework. It's a critical resource for developers, analysts, and anyone involved in building SSIS applications.

This documentation includes: SQL examples, data flow diagrams, and detailed explanations of core components.

Key Concepts

Here's a brief overview of key concepts:

• Data Flow Task: Executes a series of data transformations and operations.
• Data Flow Container: Orchestrates the data flow process.
• Data Flow Item: A component that performs a specific task.
• Data Step: A component that processes a data element.

Basic Example: Data Flow Task

Let's look at a simple example:

            
                

                    
This is a basic Data Flow Task.
                    
                        
                            DataFlowTask = New DataFlowTask();
                            DataFlowTask.Name = "ExampleTask";
                            DataFlowTask.Execute = false;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowType = DataFlowType.Standard;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
                            DataFlowTask.DataFlowTaskType = DataFlowTaskType.DataFlowTaskType;
