3. SQL Server Integration
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

Whenever users make a selection on the "City" parameter, the cascading parameter "Product
SKU" is processed immediately. Its values are filtered dynamically based on two factors:
A. Selected cities B. Product SKU with dollar Sales greater than “0 “
The technique to implement cascading parameters in SSRS using MDX, which is based on OLAP,
is somewhat more complex than that using SQL, which is based on regular OLTP RDBMS.

The Development and Deployment of the All Works SSAS Cube
Data Source View of the Star Schema

22. 22
Browsing the All Works Cube Data

23. 23
Definition of Calculated Members

24. 24
Definition of Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs)

25. 25
This is an example of a KPI developed from the AllWorks.cube, which is deployed to
the Excel Spreadsheet for the end users. All the data in the cube, including all KPIs,
can be explored through the Pivot Table Field List.

26. Partitions Performed for the “All Works” Cube

28. Employee Labor Report
Deployed to a SharePoint Server

29. configure security settings: give users/
groups appropriate permissions.

30. MDX Programming

31. MDX query for the primary dashboard
(Slide 15 and 16 in SSRS Section)

32. This MDX Query shows two measures, Internet Sales Amount and
Internet Freight Cost, are sliced against three dimensions:
Date (FY Year), Product and Customer (Country)
