My first-pass testing worked really well, so I decided to go live on LinkedIn Live and demonstrate it. I practiced a few test-walk-throughs and it all worked. As is …

SSIS Framework Manager Property Overrides Video
I’m adding a GUI to DILM Suite called SSIS Framework Manager. If you read that name and guessed the GUI manages the SSIS Framework metadata, you are correct! I’ve been streaming as I’ve coded along on the project. I reached a pretty good functionality place earlier this week. Since then, I’ve been testing. I thought …

SSIS Framework Manager CE Version 0.3 is Available
I made a few more changes to SSIS Framework Manager CE (Community Edition). The latest change is to add fields to specify the Database and Schema names. A customer shared that their enterprise considers the SSIS Catalog database – SSISDB – a system database (which I totally understand). At their request, I built a new collection of …

SSIS Framework Manager Community Edition Updated
I made a few changes to SSIS Framework Manager CE (Community Edition). The most impactful change is to the SSIS Framework Application Execute functionality. In the initial (alpha!) release, framework application executions – executed from SSIS Framework Manager CE (only) – timed out at 30 seconds. This was due to the default SqlCommand timeout and …

In this video, I share more about a negative review on Amazon, one about which I wrote in Regarding Amazon Reviews. I’m channeling my inner Gary Vaynerchuk and addressing a critic directly. Enjoy! :{>

It’s that time of year again; that time when bloggers and others share their thoughts about the year that was and the year to come. “2020 was ____.” I complete this sentence three ways, listed below.

Azure DevOps, Git, and SSIS
After a couple false starts, I was able to live-stream one way to use Azure DevOps with Git to source-control the contents of an SSIS Catalog folder – including SSIS Catalog Folder, Projects, Packages, Environments, Environment Variables, Configured Literals, References, and Reference Mappings. In the video, I create an Azure DevOps project configured to use …

AWS and SSIS
Brent Ozar, my friend and brother from another mother, shared an interesting link on LinkedIn. The article Brent linked is titled Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports the Business Intelligence Suite on SQL Server 2019. I find the topic interesting for a number of reasons.
