Learn to 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 coverage showing how Azure Data Factory (ADF) developers can create the equivalent of custom Data Factory activities by executing SSIS from ADF. This ability fills a current gap by showing how to provide for yourself functionality not currently built in to ADF.All examples in this new edition are implemented in C#. You’re now able to create 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, there do remain gaps in the functionality that is provided. One such gap is the inability using the SSIS Execute Package task to select SSIS packages from other projects. Examples in this book show how to create a custom Execute Catalog Package task that does allow you to execute tasks from other projects. Building on the examples and patterns in this book allows you to  create any task that you like, and custom tailored to your specific data integration and ETL needs. 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. weiterlesen
