Flat File on a CD ROM Destination.

  • Hello,

    In a Data Flow task, I need to copy data from a SQL Server table to a flat file destination that resides on a CD, then execute a task (script task?) to invoke the Windows XP cd burning software to burn the file to cd. I have come across a couple of ideas. One idea is to use the ICDBurn Interface;

    The other idea is to use the IMAPI IDiscMaster::RecordDisc Interface;

    As far as I can tell, the ICDBurn approach would cause the Windows XP wizard for burning CD's to open, which I don't want. Are there any other ideas out there about how I might accomplish this? If IDiscMaster::Record disk is the way to go, do you know of example code that I can look at?

    Thank you for your help!

  • You may want to simplify this a bit by splitting the two actions.  There are command line utilities that will copy a file from your hard drive to a CD (burning it).  I seem to remember NERO even having this feature available.  Then your SSIS package would only have to write to a file residing on your hard drive and then execute a batch file or command line to do the burning.

  • I did actually find a handy utility that is supposed to work with a batch file to do the burning. I haven't had time to look into it yet, but the application is called CreateCD.

    Thank you for your help!
