This document contains a portfolio summary of Hong-Bing Li's business intelligence projects using Microsoft's BI product stack. It includes examples in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), SQL programming, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), and SharePoint Server. The portfolio demonstrates Li's skills in ETL processes, SQL functions/stored procedures, report design, and deploying reports to SharePoint.

This portfolio contains examples of my business intelligence
projects using Microsoft BI Product Stack.

Services (SSIS)

4. A new database “All Works” is setup as the staging area for the ETL process. A
thorough understanding of the relationships between the tables in the following
data diagram is important in determining the sequence of tables to be loaded and
in enforcing referential integrity.

5. A Script Task is utilized to maintain multiple sets of variables with scripts in C#, for
instance, one for keeping track of row counts of data processed dynamically at the
folder level, one for row counts at the file level.

6. One SSIS package is created to do ETL for one target table. The following illustrates
the data processing within the Job Timesheets package: the data process pipeline
starts by extracting data from a CSV file. The data is then conversed, processed and
transformed (filter, remove duplicates, lookups, validate) as it passes through the
pipeline, and is finally loaded into the target job timesheets table either as inserts
or updates. It logs any rows that error out for review and correction. Similarly,
seven more packages are generated for seven target tables.

A Sequence Container is deployed to run the eight ETL packages in sequence based on the
relationships between the tables in the “All Works” Database to ensure referential integrity. If the
eight packages are processed successfully, data maintenance tasks are performed. A success or
failure notice email will be sent out depending on whether the data maintenance tasks are all
successfully completed or not.
A Master Package is created to contain the Sequence Container, the maintenance tasks and the
email notices; then a SQL Server Agent Job is setup to run the Master Package on a predefined
schedule to automate the entire data processing procedure.

8. SQL Programming
SQL Programming covers a broad range of content: Data Types and
Variables, Specialized Functions, Stored Procedures, Control-Of-Flow Operations,
Error Handling, Etc. Due to time/space constraints, I will illustrate only some of
the relatively new SQL functions/procedures/ programs that I have used in my
projects in the following:
1. Data Modification: OUTPUT clause, MERGE, select TOP(with ties) option
2. Aggregation: RANK() OVER (Partition by), GROUPING SETS
3. SQL Functions: PIVOT, CROSS APPLY
4. Common Table Expression (CTE), Correlated and Recursive Queries
5. User Defined Functions (UDF) that returns TABLE type
6. Error Handling Program:
Begin Try...End Try
Begin Catch...End Catch
