SSIS ODBC Help Please

  • To be honest I don't have any experience with BIDS or VS and have never created an SSIS package or done any development stuff.

    Here's where I stand:

    1. Server where I want to pull data from (Cobol datasource)

    2. Local client with SQL Server, BIDS, and the DSN/ODBC connection to the Cobol datasource

    3. When I opened Excel >> Data >> Connections >> ADD >> Connection files on this computer >> my ODBC... I am prompted with a 'Select a Table' box with all the tables in the Cobol Datasource.

    Now, I want to use BIDS to see and retrieve this data so I can create an SSIS package to put the data into the destination server. However, after creating the Connection manger and successfully testing its connection, I then attempted to create a Data Flow Source but can't seem to access anything...

    Should/Can I be using SSMS to do this?

  • Can't access anything?

    Please be more specific in the steps you use to create your Data flow. Tell us what items you are choosing and how you're connecting them together.
