Azure Blob XML File Connector for SSISAzure Blob XML File Connector can be used to read XML Files stored in Azure Blob Container. Using this you can easily integrate Azure Blob Storage XML File data. It's supports latest security standards, and optimized for large data files. It also supports reading compressed files (e.g. GZip /Zip). If you are new with SSIS and ZappySys SSIS PowerPack then check below links to get started.

Prerequisites
Before we perform steps listed in this article, you will need to make sure following prerequisites are met:- SSIS designer installed. Sometimes it is referred as BIDS or SSDT (download it from Microsoft site).
- Basic knowledge of SSIS package development using Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services.
- Make sure ZappySys SSIS PowerPack is downloaded and installed (download it). Check Getting started section for more information.
- Optional (If you want to Deploy and Schedule ) - Deploy and Schedule SSIS Packages
How to read data from Azure Blob XML File in SSIS using Azure Blob XML File Source (Export data)
In this section we will learn how to configure and use Azure Blob XML File Connector in the API Source to extract data from the Azure Blob XML File using Azure Blob XML File Source
-
Begin with opening Visual Studio and Create a New Project.
Select Integration Service Project and in new project window set the appropriate name and location for project. And click OK.
-
In the new SSIS project screen you will find the following:
- SSIS ToolBox on left side bar
- Solution Explorer and Property Window on right bar
- Control flow, data flow, event Handlers, Package Explorer in tab windows
- Connection Manager Window in the bottom
Note: If you don't see ZappySys SSIS PowerPack Task or Components in SSIS Toolbox, please refer to this help link. -
Now, Drag and Drop SSIS Data Flow Task from SSIS Toolbox. Double click on the Data Flow Task to see Data Flow designer.
-
From the SSIS toolbox drag and drop Azure Blob XML File Source on the dataflow designer surface
-
Double click on Azure Blob XML File Source component to configure it.
-
Create and configure a connection for the Azure Blob storage account.
-
You can use select your desired single file by clicking [...] path button.
myblob/dbo.tblNames.xmldbo.tblNames.xml
----------OR----------You can also read the multiple files stored in Azure Blob Storage using wildcard pattern supported e.g. dbo.tblNames*.xml.
Note: If you want to operation with multiple files then use wild card pattern as below (when you use wild card pattern in source path then system will treat target path as folder regardless you end with slash) myblob/dbo.tblNames.xml (will read only single .XML file) myblob/dbo.tbl*.xml (all files starting with file name) myblob/*.xml (all files with .xml Extension and located under folder subfolder)
myblob/dbo.tblNames*.xml
----------OR----------You can also read the zip and gzip compressed files also without extracting it in using Azure Blob XML File Source.
-
Now select/enter Path expression in Path textbox to extract only specific part of XML string as below ($.value[*] will get content of value attribute from XML document. Value attribute is array of XML documents so we have to use [*] to indicate we want all records of that array)
NOTE: Here, We are using our desired filter, but you need to select your desired filter based on your requirement.Click on Preview button to view the parsed XML string response data and click OK. -
That's it; we are done. In a few clicks we configured the to Read the Azure Blob XML File data using ZappySys Azure Blob XML File Connector
Load Azure Blob XML File data in SQL Server using Upsert Destination (Insert or Update)
Once you read data from the desired source, now let's see how to Load Azure Blob XML File data in SQL Server using Upsert Destination. Upsert Destination can Merge/Synchronize data from source to target for Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSql and Redshift. It supports very fast Bulk Upsert (Update or Insert) operation along and Bulk delete.
-
From the SSIS toolbox drag and drop Upsert Destination on the dataflow designer surface
Connect our Source component to Upsert Destination
-
Double click on Upsert Destination component to configure it.
-
Select the desired Microsoft SQL Server/PostgreSql/Redshift Target Connection or click NEW to create new connection. Select Target Table or click NEW to create new table based on source columns.
Configure SSIS Upsert Destination Connection - Loading data (REST / SOAP / JSON / XML /CSV) into SQL Server or other target using SSIS -
Set Action to Upsert => (insert if not matching in target else update). Select Target Connection and Target Table. Check on Insert and Update. Click on Map All to Mappings all columns and check on Only Primary Key columns.
-
Click on OK to save Upsert Destination settings UI.
-
That's it. Run the SSIS Package and it will read the data from the Azure Blob XML File and load the data in the SQL Server/PostgreSql/Redshift using Upsert Destination.
