the contents of the Ex2 folder.

2. Double-click the AdventureWorksETL.slnVisual Studio solution file to open it in Visual Studio.3. In the Solution Explorer pane, double-click the Extract Reseller Data.dtsxpackage to open it in the

designer.

4. On the Control Flow surface, note that the package contains two Data Flow tasks.5. Double-click the Extract ResellersData Flow task to view it on the Data Flowtab and note that it

contains a data source named Resellersand a data destination named Staging DB.

6. Double-click the Resellersdata source, note the following details, and then click Cancel: On the Connection Managerpage, the data source is configured to use an OLE DB connection

manager named localhost.ResellerSalesand extracts data from the [dbo].[Resellers]table.

On the Columnstab, the data source is configured to retrieve every column from the Resellerstable, and the output columns that the task generates have the same names as the source

columns.

7. Double-click the Staging DBdata destination, note the following details, and then click Cancel: On the Connection Managerpage, the data destination is configured to use an OLE DB

connection manager named localhost.Stagingand to use a Table or view - fast loadaccess

mode to insert data into the [dbo].[Resellers]table.

On the Mappingstab, the data destination is configured to map the input columns (which arethe output columns from the Resellersdata source) to columns in the destination table. The

order of the columns in the destination is different from the column order in the source, and the

source ResellerKeycolumn is mapped to the ResellerBusinessKeydestination column.8. Right-click anywhere on the Data Flow surface, click Execute Task, and then observe the task as it

runs, noting how many rows are transferred.

9. On the Debugmenu, click Stop Debugging. Task 2: Create a Data Flow task1. In the Solution Explorer pane, right-click SSIS Packages, and then click New SSIS Package.2. Right-click Package1.dtsx, click Rename, and then change the name of the package to Extract

Internet Sales Data.dtsx.

3. With the Extract Internet Sales Data.dtsx package open, and the Control Flow surface visible, in theSSIS Toolbox pane, double-click Data Flow Task, and then drag the new Data Flow task to the centerof the Control Flow surface.

Task 3: Add a data source to a data flow1. In the Solution Explorer pane, right-click Connection Managers, and then click New Connection

Manager.

2. In the Add SSIS Connection Managerdialog box, click OLEDB, and then click Add.3.

In the Configure OLE DB Connection Managerdialog box, click New.

4. In the Connection Managerdialog box, enter the following values, and then click OK: Server name: localhost Log on to the server: Use Windows Authentication Select or enter a database name: InternetSalesNote When you create a connection manager, it is named automatically based on theserver and database name; for example, localhost.InternetSales. If you have previouslycreated a connection manager for the same database, a name such as

localhost.InternetSales1may be generated.

5. In the Configure OLE DB Connection Managerdialog box, verify that a new data connection islisted, and then click OK.

6. In the SSIS Toolbox pane, in the Favoritessection, double-click Source Assistant.7. In the Source Assistant -Add New Sourcedialog box, in the Select source typelist, select

the contents of the Ex3 folder.

2. Double-click the AdventureWorksETL.slnVisual Studio solution file to open it in Visual Studio.3. In the Solution Explorer pane, double-click Extract Reseller Data.dtsx.4. On the Data Flowtab, in the Data Flow Taskdrop-down list, click Extract Reseller Sales. Note that

this data flow includes a data source, two transformations, and two destinations.

5. Double-click the Reseller Salesdata source, in the OLE DB Source Editordialog box, note thefollowing details, and then click Cancel:

On the Connection Managerpage, the data source is configured to use an OLE DB connectionmanager named localhost.ResellerSalesand extract data using a Transact-SQL command that

queries in the SalesOrderHeader, SalesOrderDetail, and PaymentTypestables. The query

includes an ISNULL function to check for a payment type. If none is specified, the value other is

used.

On the Columnstab, the data source is configured to retrieve several columns includingProductKey, OrderQuantity, and UnitPrice.

6. Double-click the Calculate Sales Amounttransformation, in the Derived Column TransformationEditordialog box, note the following details, and then click Cancel:

The transformation creates a derived column named SalesAmount. The derived column is added as a new column to the data flow. The column value is calculated by multiplying the UnitPricecolumn value by the OrderQuantity

column value.

7. Double-click the Lookup Product Detailstransformation, in the Lookup Transformation Editordialog box, note the following details, and then click Cancel:

On the Generaltab, the Lookup transformation is configured to use full cache mode and an OLEDB connection manager, and to redirect rows with no matching entries.
