How is the deployment utility created in SSIS?

 Deployment is nothing but a process of updating the state of the package from development mode to executable mode. Deployment in SSIS can be done by simply performing the right-click operation on the “Integration Services Project” and clicking on the build option. This would create a “package.dtsx” file inside the bin folder named “projectbin”. The utility helps in deploying packages at SQL server or as an executable file on a specified location.

Following are the steps followed to create a deployment utility:

  • Go to Project and right-click on it.
  • Double click on the properties.
  • Choose the path location for deployment by selecting the box next to “True” under Create Deployment Utility.
  • Save changes. Close this window.
  • Right-click again on the project and select the build option. This creates a deployment folder in the project’s root within the BIN folder.
  • The deployment folder will have a .manifest file.
  • Double-clicking on the .manifest file and selecting the deploy option will perform package deployment on the SQL server.

Difference between ETL vs. ELT

Image
  Difference between ETL vs. ELT Basics ETL ELT Process Data is transferred to the ETL server and moved back to DB. High network bandwidth required. Data remains in the DB except for cross Database loads (e.g. source to object). Transformation Transformations are performed in ETL Server. Transformations are performed (in the source or) in the target. Code Usage Typically used for Source to target transfer Compute-intensive Transformations Small amount of data Typically used for High amounts of data Time-Maintenance It needs highs maintenance as you need to select data to load and transform. Low maintenance as data is always available. Calculations Overwrites existing column or Need to append the dataset and push to the target platform. Easily add the calculated column to the existing table. Analysis

What are the for each loop enumerators available in SSIS?

  Below are the lists of various types of enumerators provided by SSIS Foreach Loop Container: Foreach  File Enumerator : It enumerates files in a folder. The plus point here is it can traverse through subfolders also. Foreach  Item Enumerator : It enumerates items in a collection. Like enumerating rows and columns in an Excel sheet. Foreach  ADO Enumerator : Useful for enumerating rows in tables. Foreach  ADO.NET Schema  Rowset  Enumerator : To enumerate through schema information about a data source. For example, to get list of tables in a database. Foreach   From  Variable Enumerator : Used to enumerate through the object contained in a variable. (if the object is enumerable) Foreach   NodeList  Enumerator : Used to enumerate the result set of an XML Path Language (XPath) expression. Foreach  SMO Enumerator : It enumerates through SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) objects.

What are the SSIS package protection levels?

  There are 6 different types of protection levels. Do not save sensitive – (When exporting using DTUTIL specify for protection- 0) Encrypt sensitive with user key – 1 Encrypt sensitive with password – 2 Encrypt all with password -3 Encrypt all with user key – 4 Rely on server storage Do not save sensitive:  makes the sensitive data unavailable to other users. If a different user opens the package, the sensitive information is replaced with blanks and the user must provide the sensitive information. Encrypt sensitive with user key:  Uses a key that is based on the current user profile to encrypt only the values of sensitive properties in the package. Only the same user who uses the same profile can load the package. If a different user opens the package, the sensitive information is replaced with blanks and the current user must provide new values for the sensitive data. If the user attempts to execute the package, package execution fails. Encrypt sensitive with password:...
