Migration Wizard - missing conversion of Datapump tasks

  • Hi,

    I'm working on the conversion of a group of DTS to SSIS and the function of a part of them is to export data from an Oracle database to a Sql Server database using :

    Source Oledb connection for ODBC

    Destination Oledb provider for Sql Server

    Transform Data Task

    The migration is generating an Execute DTS 2000 package task that refers to a task of the original DTS (see attachment).

    I really can't understand why this simple task is not being converted to a Data Flow task.

    Thanks.

    Alex.

    The mapping between the functionality offered by the DTS datapump task and SSIS's data flow task is not a clean one. Some things can be done in the DTS datapump that cannot be done in a data flow task (they are probably done differently in SSIS).

    So I think they decided that data pumps were too hard for the wizard to handle.
