MS2795 Designing an ETL Solution Architecture Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services

Module 1: Planning for ETL

In this module, Students will learn how to plan the way in which data will be transferred and staged in an ETL solution.

Lessons

  • Identifying Data Sources and Destinations

  • Evaluating Source Data

  • Identifying Staging Requirements

    Lab 1: Planning an ETL Solution

  • Identifying ETL Requirements

  • Examining Source Data

    After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Plan data access and load operations.

  • Evaluate source data.

  • Design the ETL staging environment.

    Module 2: Planning an SSIS Solution

    In this module, students will learn how to plan an SSIS-based ETL solution. Specifically, they will learn how to plan SSIS packages, how to plan an effective package development process, and how to design the control flow within the packages.

    Lessons

  • Planning Packages

  • Planning Package Development

  • Designing Package Control Flow

    Lab 2: Implementing SSIS Packages

  • Designing an SSIS Solution

  • Creating a Package Template

  • Implementing SSIS Packages

    After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Plan SSIS packages.

  • Plan package development.

  • Design package control flow.

    Module 3: Designing Data Flow

    In this module, students will learn how to design data flows that extract, transform, and load data. They will also learn about factors to consider when working with slowly changing dimensions (SCDs) and when implementing custom SCD transformations.

    Lessons

  • Understanding Data Flow

  • Designing Data Flow Operations

  • Handling Data Changes

    Lab 3: Implementing Data Flow

  • Designing Data Flow

  • Implementing Data Flow

    After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Describe how data flows work in SSIS.

  • Design data flow operations

  • Design data flows for updated data.

    Module 4: Logging, Error Handling, and Reliability

    In this module, students will learn how to incorporate logging, error handling, and reliability into your SSIS package designs. The module covers standard logging, custom logging, and log reporting. The module also teaches students how to implement error handling and how to handle bad data. Finally, the module shows students how to implement a transaction strategy, use checkpoints, and handle restarts and rollbacks.

    Lessons

  • Logging ETL Operations

  • Handling Errors in SSIS

  • Implementing Reliable ETL Processes with SSIS

    Lab 4: Implementing Reliable Packages

  • Implementing Logging

  • Implementing Error Handling

  • Implementing Transactions and Checkpoints

    After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Design and implement logging in an SSIS package.

  • Design and implement error handling in an SSIS package.

  • Design and implement reliability in an SSIS package.

    Module 5: Optimizing an SSIS Solution

    In this module students will learn how to monitor and optimize SSIS performance. They will also learn how to scale-out SSIS packages

    Lessons

  • Monitoring SSIS Performance

  • Optimizing SSIS Packages

  • Scaling Out SSIS Packages

    Lab 5: Optimizing Packages

  • Monitoring SSIS

  • Optimizing an SSIS Package

    After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Monitor SSIS packages.

  • Optimize SSIS packages.

  • Design scale-out solutions for SSIS packages.

    Module 6: Deploying and Operating an SSIS Solution

    This module describes considerations for deploying an SSIS solution into a production environment. It also discusses some of the issues related to operations and management that you must consider when planning an SSIS solution.

    Lessons

  • Deploying SSIS Packages

  • Operating an SSIS Solution

    Lab 6: Deploying and Managing Packages

  • Deploying an SSIS Solution

  • Backing Up an SSIS Package

    After completing this module, students will be able to:

  • Deploy an SSIS solution.

  • Operate an SSIS Solution.
