Amazon MWS Connector for SSIS

Amazon MWS (Marketplace Web Service) Connector can be used to integrated web service API that helps Amazon sellers to programmatically exchange data on listings, orders, payments, reports, and more.

In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Amazon MWS data in SSIS without coding. We will use high-performance Amazon MWS Connector to easily connect to Amazon MWS and then access the data inside SSIS.

Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that!

Amazon's MWS (Marketplace Web Service) is being deprecated and replaced by the newer AWS Selling Partner API (SP-API). For a more robust and secure integration, we recommend using our AWS Selling Partner (SP-API) Connector. As Amazon is phasing out MWS functionality and eventually plans to fully deprecate it.

  1. Read the data from the source, being any desired source component. In example we will use ZappySys Dummy Data Source component.

  2. From the SSIS Toolbox drag and drop API Destination (Predefined Templates) on the Data Flow Designer surface and connect source component with it, and double click to edit it.

  8. That's it; we successfully configured the POST API Call. In a few clicks we configured the Amazon MWS API call using ZappySys Amazon MWS Connector

    Execute Package - Reading data from API Source and load into target

Load Amazon MWS data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination (Insert or Update)

Once you configured the data source, you can load Amazon MWS data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination.

Upsert Destination can merge or synchronize source data with the target table. It supports Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Redshift databases as targets. Upsert Destination also supports very fast bulk upsert operation along with bulk delete.

Upsert operation - a database operation which performs INSERT or UPDATE SQL commands based on record's existence condition in the target table. It inserts records that don't have matching records in the target table or updates them, if they do, by matching them by key columns.

Upsert Destination supports INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations, so it is similar to SQL Server's MERGE command, except it can be used directly in SSIS package.

  1. From the SSIS Toolbox drag-and-drop Upsert Destination component onto the Data Flow designer background.

  2. Connect your SSIS source component to Upsert Destination.

  3. Double-click on Upsert Destination component to open configuration window.

  4. Start by selecting the Action from the list.

  5. Next, select the desired target connection or create one by clicking <New [provider] Connection> menu item from the Target Connection dropdown.

  6. Then select a table from the Target Table list or click New button to create a new table based on the source columns.

  7. Continue by checking Insert and Update options according to your scenario (e.g. if Update option is unchecked, no updates will be made).

  8. Finally, click Map All button to map all columns and then select the Key columns to match the columns on:

    Configure SSIS Upsert Destination component to merge data with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Redshift table

  9. Click OK to save the configuration.

  10. Run the package and Amazon MWS data will be merged with the target table in SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Redshift:

    Execute Package - Reading data from API Source and load into target

  11. Done!

Deploy and schedule SSIS package

After you are done creating SSIS package, most likely, you want to deploy it to SQL Server Catalog and run it periodically. Just follow the instructions in this article:

Running SSIS package in Azure Data Factory (ADF)

To use SSIS PowerPack in ADF, you must first prepare Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime. Follow this link for detailed instructions:
