Noob to SSIS

  • Hi everyone,

    I just started reading a book about BI and it is saying "From the Toolbox, drag and drop an OLE DB Source Adapter from the Data Flow Sources group of components."

    I only have Control Flow Items, Maintenance Plan Task in the Toolbox. In other pages of the book, I see that he also has Data Flow Transformations and Data Flow Destinations. How can I add these groups to the toolbox? Thanks in advance.

  • You're still operating in the Control Flow, which is just that - it controls the flow of the package but doesn't actually handle the data flow.  If there isn't one already there, drag and drop a Data Flow task onto the Control Flow pane.  Then double-click the new Data Flow task, which will take you to the Data Flow pane.  From there, you will see the source and destination adapters, along with the numerous transformations.
