SSIS Projects are used to extract data from a wide variety of sources, transform data, and finally load data into the destination. In this article, we will show the step by step approach to creating an SSIS project with an example.
How to Create an SSIS Project?
In this example, we will show the steps involved in creating a New Project in SSIS SQL Server Integration Services. To do so, First Double click on Data Tools or Business Intelligence Development Studio (shortly called BIDS)
First, select the File option from the Menu item. Next, select New and then select the New Project… option to create a new Project.
Once we click on the New Project… option, a new window called New Project will open. Use this window to select the required project from available project templates.
