This document discusses creating custom control flow components for SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) using Visual Studio Community. It covers the development environment, creating a new custom component project, deploying the component, accessing variables, debugging, internationalization, and best practices like automated builds and versioning. The presenter demonstrates creating a simple component that reads and writes variables, validating properties, and handling events.

12. Dev Environment
 Visual Studio
 SSDT–BI (to develop SSIS Packages)
 (SQL Server)
 If you like to test the package deployed (SSIS Catalog)
 C# knowledge (preferred) 
 Or any other .NET language
 Admin Rights on Development machine

14. DEMO

15. Create a new Custom Component
 New Project (Class Library)
 Sign Assembly
 Reference Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS
 MainClass – Inherit from Task Class
 DtsTask Attribute
 Properties

16. Deployment – on DEV Machine
 Copy to DTS Folder
 %PROGRAMFILES%Microsoft SQL Server120DTSTasks
 SSIS Toolbox
 GAC(util)
 Execution
 Post Build events
 Copy & gacutil
Admin rights needed

17. Deployment – on PROD machine
 GAC – needed
 DTS folder
 Only needed, if you develop on Server machine

18. DEMO

19. DEMO – Recap
 Post Build Events
 Copy to DTSTask folder
 GACutil
 ADMIN rights!
if "$(ConfigurationName)" == "Debug" (
"C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv8.1AbinNETFX 4.5.1 Toolsgacutil.exe" -u $(TargetName)
"C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv8.1AbinNETFX 4.5.1 Toolsgacutil.exe" -i $(TargetFileName)
copy $(TargetFileName) "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server120DTSTasks"
)

20. DEMO - Recap
 Project Settings – Debug
 Start external Program: devenv.exe
 Create SSIS package
 Use the component

21. SSIS Properties (Built-in Validation)

22. Validate(…)

23. DEMOProperties & Validation

24. User Interface
 Recommendation
 separate assemblies for Task and UI
 localization
 Do not need UI @ server
 Deployment
 UI-assembly in GAC only

27. DEMO - Recap

28. Variables
List Variables
Create Variable

29. Variables - Access
VariableDispenser
 LockForRead(..) / LockForWrite(..)
 GetVariables(ref Variables)
 use them
 Unlock()

32. Fire (Log) Events

33. DEMO

34. Debugging
 Design Time Debugging
 UI, configuration, persistance
 Run-Time Debugging
 BreakPoint
 Start SSIS Package
 Attach To Process

37. SSIS Custom Control Flow Komponenten
and Visual Studio Community
Professional Recycling

38. Be Professional - Icon
 Control Flow Icon
 16x16
 16 colors

39. Be Professional - Assembly Version
 If you change AssemblyVersion(“…“)
 SSIS Package contains hardcoded reference

40. AssemblyVersion versus AssemblyFileVersion
AssemblyFileVersion
AssemblyInformationalVersion
AssemblyVersion 1.0.0.0!

41. Be Professional – Automated Builds

42. Be Professional – Automated Builds
 Increment AssemblyFileVersion
 Build for multiple SQL Server Versions
 Build Configurations
 Project File

43. Recycle Application logic
Reduce Copy&Paste errors
Reduce multiple programming efforts
Reuse logic…
.. written in one place
.. used in multiple places
Be professional - Be faster!

44. Thank You!
