SSIS Training
Advanced SSIS Training Course
£750 + VAT for most venues (£895 + VAT for London)
2 days
The main thing that you'll learn from this advanced course is how to use script tasks (in control flow) and script components (in data flow) to validate data, send mail, check file attributes and much more. The course uses C# for its scripting language (as for various reasons you should too). In addition to scripting, the course also includes a smorgasbord of other topics, such as creating dynamic property values and logging packages to SQL Server.
We don't have any dates scheduled for this course, but we may well consider adding them - it's always worth asking & nbsp; (or consider an onsite SSIS training course).
