Integration services package



The objects that compose an Integration Services package include the following:
The package itself
The package, the unit of work that is retrieved, executed, and saved, and the most important Integration Services object.

The objects that compose an Integration Services package include the following:
The package itself
The package, the unit of work that is retrieved, executed, and saved, and the most important Integration Services object.

















 package is an organized collection of connections, control flow elements, data flow elements, event handlers, variables, and configurations, that you assemble using either the graphical design tools that SQL Server Integration Services provides, or build programmatically. You then save the completed package to SQL Server, the SSIS Package Store, or the file system. The package is the unit of work that is retrieved, executed, and saved.
When you first create a package, it is an empty object that does nothing. To add functionality to a package, you add a control flow and, optionally, one or more data flows to the package.
The following diagram shows a simple package that contains a control flow with a Data Flow task, which in turn contains a data flow.
After you have created the basic package, you can add advanced features such as logging and variables to extend package functionality. For more information, see the section about Objects that Extend Package Functionality.
The completed package can then be configured by setting package-level properties that implement security, enable restarting of packages from checkpoints, or incorporate transactions in package workflow. For more information, see the section about Properties that Support Extended Features.


A control flow consists of one or more tasks and containers that execute when the package runs. To control order or define the conditions for running the next task or container in the package control flow, you use precedence constraints to connect the tasks and containers in a package. A subset of tasks and containers can also be grouped and run repeatedly as a unit within the package control flow. For more information, see Control Flow Elements and Designing Package Control Flow.
A data flow consists of the sources and destinations that extract and load data, the transformations that modify and extend data, and the paths that link sources, transformations, and destinations. Before you can add a data flow to a package, the package control flow must include a Data Flow task. The Data Flow task is the executable within the SSIS package that creates, orders, and runs the data flow. A separate instance of the data flow engine is opened for each Data Flow task in a package. For more information, see Data Flow Task, Data Flow Elements and Designing Package Data Flow.
A package typically includes at least one connection manager. A connection manager is a link between a package and a data source that defines the connection string for accessing the data that the tasks, transformations, and event handlers in the package use. Integration Services includes connection types for data sources such as text and XML files, relational databases, and Analysis Services databases and projects.


Packages are frequently used as templates from which to build packages that share basic functionality. You build the basic package and then copy it, or you can designate the package is a template. For example, a package that downloads and copies files and then extracts the data may include the FTP and File System tasks in a Foreach Loop that enumerates files in a folder. It may also include Flat File connection managers to access the data, and Flat File sources to exact the data. The destination of the data varies, and the destination is added to each new package after it is copied from the basic package. You can also create packages and then use them as templates for the new packages that you add to an Integration Services project.
When a package is first created, either programmatically or by using SSIS Designer, a GUID is added to its ID property and a name to its Name property. If you create a new package by copying an existing package or by using a template package, the name and the GUID are copied as well. This can be a problem if you use logging, because the GUID and the name of the package are written to the logs to identify the package to which the logged information belongs. Therefore, you should update the name and the GUID of the new packages to help differentiate them from the package from which they were copied and from each other in the log data.
To change the package GUID, you regenerate a GUID in the ID property in the Properties window in Business Intelligence Development Studio. To change the package name, you can update the value of the Name property in the Properties window. You can also use the dtutil command prompt, or update the GUID and name programmatically.


Packages can include additional objects that provide advanced features or extend existing functionality, such as event handlers, configurations, logging, and variables.
Event Handlers
An event handler is a workflow that runs in response to the events raised by a package, task, or container. For example, you could use an event handler to check disk space when a pre-execution event occurs or if an error occurs, and send an e-mail message that reports the available space or error information to an administrator. An event handler is constructed like a package, with a control flow and optional data flows. Event handlers can be added to individual tasks or containers in the package.
Configurations
A configuration is a set of property-value pairs that defines the properties of the package and its tasks, containers, variables, connections, and event handlers when the package runs. Using configurations makes it possible to update properties without modifying the package. When the package is run, the configuration information is loaded, updating the values of properties. For example, a configuration can update the connection string of connection.
The configuration is saved and then deployed with the package when the package is installed on a different computer. The values in the configuration can be updated when the package is installed to support the package in a different environment. For more information, see Creating Package Configurations.
Logging and Log Providers
A log is a collection of information about the package that is collected when the package runs. For example, a log can provide the start and finish time for a package run. A log provider defines the destination type and the format that the package and its containers and tasks can use to log run-time information. The logs are associated with a package, but the tasks and containers in the package can log information to any package log. Integration Services includes a variety of built-in log providers for logging. For example, Integration Services includes log providers for SQL Server and text files. You can also create custom log providers and use them for logging. For more information, see Integration Services Log Providers.
Variables
Integration Services supports system variables and user-defined variables. The system variables provide useful information about package objects at run time, and user-defined variables support custom scenarios in packages. Both types of variables can be used in expressions, scripts, and configurations.
The package-level variables include the pre-defined system variables available to a package and the user-defined variables with package scope. For more information, see Integration Services Variables.


The package object can be configured to support features such as restarting the package at checkpoints, signing the package with a digital certificate, setting the package protection level, and ensuring data integrity by using transactions.
Restarting Packages
The package includes checkpoint properties that you can use to restart the package when one or more of its tasks fail. For example, if a package has two Data Flow tasks that update two different tables and the second task fails, the package can be rerun without repeating the first Data Flow task. Restarting a package can save time for long-running packages. Restarting means you can start the package from the failed task instead of having to rerun the whole package.
Securing Packages
A package can be signed with a digital signature and encrypted by using a password or a user key. A digital signature authenticates the source of the package. However, you must also configure Integration Services to check the digital signature when the package loads. .
Supporting Transactions
Setting a transaction attribute on the package enables tasks, containers, and connections in the package to join the transaction. Transaction attributes ensure that the package and its elements succeed or fail as a unit. Packages can also run other packages and enroll other packages in transactions, so that you can run multiple packages as a single unit of work.

creating SSIS Package templates for reusability

Problem
We often need to create similar SSIS packages which contain some common components such as connection managers, data flow components, log providers, event handlers, etc... So do we really need to create a package from scratch each time and add all these commonly used components in each package again and again. Is it possible to create a SSIS package with a basic structure/workflow and common components which can be used as template to create subsequent packages?
Solution
SSIS allows creating a package with a basic structure/workflow that has common components which can be further leveraged as a template for reusability or for creating new packages based on this template. This means you are not required to add each item over and over again for each package that you create. This reduces the time needed for development and makes packages look/behave consistently.
Creating a Package to be used as Template
To create a SSIS package to be used as template you have to follow the same approach as creating a new package. You need to use Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) to create a new project of type "Integration Services Project". Create a new package, specify an appropriate name for this package and add the work flow and components you want to be part of the template.
For example, I have a sample package below in which the first task logs the start of the ETL batch. Next I have a container which will eventually contain components for loading data into staging.  After that I have another container which will contain components for data loading into dimensions and facts and for cube processing. At the end, it will log success or failure for the package.



















Once you are done with creating the basic structure of the package and have added the common components, you need to save a copy of this package at the following locations based on the version of SQL Server you are using:
For SQL Server 2005
<<Installation drive>>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems

OR

<<Installation drive>>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems


For SQL Server 2008

<<Installation drive>>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems
 
OR
<<Installation drive>>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems









For SQL Server 2012
<<Installation drive>>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems
 
OR
<<Installation drive>>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems
You need to specify the drive location where Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) or SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) has been deployed. Please note, as BIDS or SSDT runs locally on client machine, you need to copy the template package to the above location on all the development machines you want it to use.  For this example we are naming the template package "SamplePackageTemplate.dtsx".
You are not restricted to deploying only one template.  You can deploy as many templates as you want to the folders listed above and reuse them as needed.
Using the SSIS Template in Other Projects
In a new or existing project where you want to add this SSIS package template, you just need to right click on the project name in the Solution Explorer, click on Add > New Item as shown below:

















In the Add New Item dialog box, you will notice the deployed package template as shown below. You can select it and specify a name for the package for which the template will be used and click on the Add button to add the new package to your project based on the selected template. That's all you have to do.  You now have a package that is pre-configured and you can now customize it for your specific need. Please note, the modifications that are done in the new package do not impact the deployed template as we are working with a copy of the template which is now part of the current project and not the template itself.
















If you are using SQL Server 2012, when you add a new item you will see the template appearing in the Add New Item dialog box as shown below. Select the template and specify the name for the new package which will be based on this template.














Generate Unique ID

If you are using SQL Server 2005 or 2008 then you should generate a unique ID.  This is recommended because it helps in analyzing log data with better differentiation for each package. To generate a unique ID value for the package, click the ID in the Properties pane, and then click Generate New ID.
In SQL Server 2012 when you add a package based on a template, SSDT generates a unique ID for each package and hence you don't need to do it separately.
