SPECIFICATIONS
Tool: Microsoft / SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) version 9.0 (2005) to 15x (2019) via .Net API
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/
Metadata: [Data Integration] Multi-Model, Metadata Repository, ETL (Source and Target Data Stores, Transformation Lineage, Expression Parsing)
Component: MicrosoftSqlServerRepositoryIs version 11.2.0

OVERVIEW
The bridge imports SSIS Packages from a corresponding SQL Server Repository using the SQL Server SDK APIs.

REQUIREMENTS
In order for this bridge to connect to the SQL Server Repository and import, it is necessary to ensure that the SQL Server Client Components are installed properly and corresponding services are running locally or established in your local network. The bridge uses Windows Authentication to connect to Integration Services. Please be sure the application is logged into Windows Domain as a 'User', which has appropriate rights to the objects you wish to import.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is it possible to disable case sensitivity for column names in SSIS packages?
A: ETL bridges import all features "AS IS" depending on the database type and its rules. The Database bridge sets case sensitive flag if needed and the stitcher is capable of stitching, even if names are in different cases.

LIMITATIONS
Refer to the current general known limitations at MIMB Known Limitations or bundled in Documentation/ReadMe/MIMBKnownLimitations.html

SUPPORT
Provide a troubleshooting package with debug log. Debug log can be set in the UI or in conf/conf.properties with MIR_LOG_LEVEL=6


Bridge Parameters

Parameter Name Description Type Values Default Scope
SQL Server version Specifies the version of SQL Server. ENUMERATED
Automatically
SQL Server 2017
SQL Server 2016
SQL Server 2014
SQL Server 2012
SQL Server 2008
SQL Server 2005
2012  
Host Host name or IP address where SQL Server IS is running. STRING   localhost Mandatory
Package SQL Server Integration Service Project name to be processing. REPOSITORY_SUBSET     Mandatory
Password The value of the password for the protected package. PASSWORD      
Variable values file File defines values for SSIS variables. Variables are grouped by their package and task context, and prefixed with namespace:
[Package.Task]
Namespace::Variable=Value

Consider using the file when SSIS employs variables (without reasonable default values) in SQL statements. It should help with understanding lineage through SQL statements.

The file supports SSIS 2005, 2008 and 2012 variables. It does not support SSIS 2012 parameters.

Use the [Package] context to define variables for all tasks in the Package.
When the same variable is defined multiple times in a context, the latest definition is used. However, when the same variable is defined in [Package] and [Package.Task] contexts the definition in the higher level context, [Package.Task] is used.

Variable names are case sensitive. The file overrides default variable values if any defined in SSIS.
FILE
*.txt
*.ini
*.var
*.properties

OTHER OPTIONS
-s

Enable specifying mappings between Transformation Script inputs and outputs externally. In this case, the inputs go to a table in "_Script_" database and outputs come from a table in the database. One can specify mapping relationships between inputs and outputs by defining a mapping between their tables.
By default the bridge interconnect all inputs to all outputs in Transformation Scripts.
