Multiple Tasks in SSIS Package

    Hi,

    I'm new to SSIS and I'm trying to accomplish a project at work using SSIS.

    1.Get the data from SQL server using stored procedures and populate the tables. The data will be same for all the feeds.

    2.Get the data from the tables and create flat files for different vendors.

    Do I need to create two packages to accomplish this? If I have to create two packages, can I run them in sequential order i.e. task 1 and then task 2. How will I be able to accomplish this.

    Let me know if you need any additional information. Pardon my SSIS lingo as I just started working on this product.

    Thanks,

    Prasad

    You don't need to create 2 packages for this, you can have both of them in a single package.

    At this point, there is not much I can help on the SSIS packages you may need,

    since I don't have much details.

    A single package will do the job for you. An EXECUTE SQL task can be used to run the sp's. Followed by one or more dataflow tasks to export the data for you. Use precedence constraints to control the order in which the tasks are executed.

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.

    Hi Phil,

    Thanks for the response. I should be able to run multiple SQL statements in one EXECUTE SQL task right? I need to populate multiple staging tables. I'm planning to use stored procedures to populate the data in to the tables.

    Thanks,

    Yes you should be able to run multiple SQL Statements in 1 Execute SQL Task.

    Instead of using Stored Procedures, you can use the Data Flow task in SSIS which would give additional benefits of enabling checkpoints etc in the package.
