This three-day course teaches students how to implement an Integration Services solution in an organization. The course discusses how to develop, deploy, and manage Integration Services packages.

Doelgroep

This course is intended for information technology (IT) professionals and developers who need to implement data transfer or extract, transform, and load (ETL) solutions by using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services.

Voorkennis

Before attending this course, students must have:

• Exposure to enterprise data import and export scenarios.
• Experience navigating the Microsoft Windows Server environment.
• Experience with Microsoft SQL Server, including: SQL Server Agent, SQL Server query language (SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE), SQL Server System tables, SQL Server accounts (users and permissions).

Module 1: Introduction to SQL Server 2008 Integration Services

The students will be introduced to the role that Integration Services plays in extracting, transforming, and loading data. The students will also be introduced to the tools that are used to build and manage Integration Services solutions.

Lessons

• Lesson 1: Overview of SQL Server Integration Services
• Lesson 2: Using Integration Services Tools

Module 2: Developing Integration Services Solutions

The students will be introduced to the development tasks that are involved in creating an Integration Services package.

Lessons

• Lesson 1: Creating an Integration Services Solution
• Lesson 2: Using Variables
• Lesson 3: Building and Running a Solution

Module 3: Implementing Control Flow

The students will be introduced to the tasks and precedence constraints that can be used to implement control flow in an Integration Services package.

Lessons

• Lesson 1: Control Flow Tasks
• Lesson 2: Control Flow Precedent Constraints
• Lesson 3: Control Flow Containers

Module 4: Implementing Data Flow

The students will be introduced to the data flow sources, transformations, and destinations that can be used to implement a data flow task in an Integration Services control flow. It also explains how to use data flow paths to direct valid and invalid rows through the data flow.
