That’s what we sell at Data Integration Lifecycle Management Suite: confidence.
Confidence
There’s no substitute for that feeling of confidence when SSIS Catalog Compare is used to compare two SSIS Catalogs and the comparison yields no differences.
I cannot improve on testimonies from our customers:
The question of comparing a Production SSIS Catalog with a QA (Quality Assurance) SSIS Catalog is a loaded question. The question presumes the enterprise SSIS lifecycle is being managed, and that at least two lifecycle management tiers – other than Development – exist. (I recommend at least four Data Integration Lifecycle Management tiers.)
SSIS Catalog as Code
When a Release Manager uses SSIS Catalog Compare to bundle the scripts required to generate (or regenerate) an SSIS Catalog Folder and all its constituent object and artifact configuration metadata into a single, source-controllable SCCPAC file, the Release Manager is not just practicing DevOps; they are practicing DevSecOps.
In today’s security climate, the more places an enterprise can store infrastructure as code, the better.
