Azure DevOps Connector for Azure Data Factory (SSIS)

Azure DevOps Connector can be used to integrate Azure DevOps data in your App / BI Tools. You can create, read, query, modify, and delete WorkItems, Projects, Teams and more.

In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Azure DevOps data in Azure Data Factory (SSIS) without coding. We will use high-performance Azure DevOps Connector to easily connect to Azure DevOps and then access the data inside Azure Data Factory (SSIS).

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

Download Documentation

Create SSIS package

First of all, create an SSIS package, which will connect to Azure DevOps in SSIS. Once you do that, you are one step closer to deploying and running it in Azure-SSIS integration runtime in Azure Data Factory (ADF). Then simply proceed to the next step - creating and configuring Azure Blob Storage Container.

Prepare custom setup files for Azure-SSIS runtime

Now it's time to start preparing custom setup files for Azure-SSIS runtime. During Azure-SSIS runtime creation you can instruct ADF to perform a custom setup on a VM (Azure-SSIS node); i.e. to run the custom installer, copy files, execute PowerShell scripts, etc. In that case, your custom setup files are downloaded and run in the Azure-SSIS node (a VM) when you start the runtime. In this section we will prepare custom setup files so that you can run SSIS packages with SSIS PowerPack connectors inside in Azure-SSIS runtime.

Read more on Azure-SSIS runtime custom setup in Microsoft Azure Data Factory reference.

Trial Users

Use the step below if you are a Trial User, when you did not purchase a license key. Proceed with these steps:

  1. Download ~/Views/IntegrationHub/ContentBlocks/Links/SSIS-PowerPack/DownloadTrial.cshtmlSSIS PowerPack trial installer.
    Make sure you don't rename the installer and keep it named as SSISPowerPackSetup_64bit_Trial.msi.
  2. Create a text file and name it main.cmd (make it all lowercase, very important).
  3. Copy and paste this script into it and save it:
    set DIR=%CUSTOM_SETUP_SCRIPT_LOG_DIR%
    
    echo Calling Step 1 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    dir /s /b > "%DIR%\file_list.txt"
    
    echo Calling Step 2 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    
    ::Install SSIS PowerPack
    msiexec /i  "SSISPowerPackSetup_64bit_Trial.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL /q  /L*V "%DIR%\powerpack_trial_install_log.txt"
    
    echo Calling Step 3 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    dir "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\*Zappy*.*"  /s /b >> "%DIR%\installed_files.txt"
    dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\*Zappy*.*"  /s /b >> "%DIR%\installed_files.txt"
    
    echo DONE : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    
    echo complete
    This is the entry-point script that is executed when Azure-SSIS runtime is started.
  4. At last! You are ready to upload these two files — main.cmd & SSISPowerPackSetup_64bit_Trial.msi — into your Azure Blob Storage container's folder, which we will do in the Upload custom setup files to Azure Blob Storage container step.

Paid Customers

Use the steps below if you are a Paid Customer, when you purchased a license. Proceed with these steps:

  1. Download SSIS PowerPack paid installer.
    Make sure you don't rename the installer and keep it named as SSISPowerPackSetup_64bit.msi.
  2. Have your SSIS PowerPack license key handy, we will need it in the below script.
  3. Create a text file and name it main.cmd (make it all lowercase, very important).
  4. Copy and paste the below script into it.
  5. Paste your license key by replacing parameter's --register argument with your real license key.
  6. Finally, save main.cmd:
    set DIR=%CUSTOM_SETUP_SCRIPT_LOG_DIR%
    
    echo Calling Step 1 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    dir /s /b > "%DIR%\file_list.txt"
    
    echo Calling Step 2 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    
    ::Install SSIS PowerPack
    msiexec /i  "SSISPowerPackSetup_64bit.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL /q  /L*V "%DIR%\powerpack_install_log.txt"
    
    echo Calling Step 3 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    
    ::Activate PowerPack license (Optional)
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\ZappySys\SSIS PowerPack (64 bit)\LicenseManager.exe" -p SSISPowerPack --register "lgGAAO0-----REPLACE-WITH-YOUR-LICENSE-KEY-----czM=" --logfile "%DIR%\powerpack_register_log.txt"
    
    ::Show System Info
    echo Calling Step 4 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\ZappySys\SSIS PowerPack (64 bit)\LicenseManager.exe" -i -l "%DIR%\sysinfo_log.txt"
    
    echo Calling Step 5 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    dir "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\*Zappy*.*"  /s /b >> "%DIR%\installed_files.txt"
    dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\*Zappy*.*"  /s /b >> "%DIR%\installed_files.txt"
    
    echo DONE : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    
    echo complete
    This is the entry-point script that is executed when Azure-SSIS runtime is started.
  7. At last! You are ready to upload these two files — main.cmd & SSISPowerPackSetup_64bit.msi — into your Azure Blob Storage container's folder, which we will do in the Upload custom setup files to Azure Blob Storage container step.

Upload custom setup files to Azure Blob Storage container

Within Azure Blob Storage container we will store custom setup files we prepared in the previous step so that Azure-SSIS can use them in custom setup process. Just perform these very simple, but very important steps:

  1. Create Azure Blob Storage container, if you haven't done it already
    Make sure you create and use Azure Blob Storage container instead of Azure Data Lake Storage folder. Azure Data Lake Storage won't allow creating an SAS URI for the container, which is a crucial step in the process.
  2. Find Blob Containers node, right-click on it and hit Create Blob Container option: Create a new blob container in Azure Storage Explorer
  3. Upload the two custom setup files — main.cmd & the MSI installer — into your Azure Blob Storage container's folder: Upload SSIS Custom Setup Files to Azure Data Factory
  4. It was easy, wasn't it? It's time we create an SAS URI in the next step.

Create SAS URI for Azure Blob Container

Once you have custom setup files prepared, it's time we generate an SAS URI. This SAS URI will be used by a new Azure-SSIS runtime to install SSIS PowerPack inside the runtime's node, a VM. Let's proceed together by performing the steps below:

  1. Install and launch Azure Storage Explorer.
  2. Right-click on the Storage Accounts node and then hit Connect to Azure storage... menu item: Add Azure Storage account to Azure Storage Explorer
  3. Proceed by right-clicking on that container node and select Get Shared Access Signature... option.
  4. Next, set the Expiry time field to a date far in the future.
    If you restart Azure-SSIS runtime and your SAS URI is expired by that time, it will not start.
  5. Select Read, Create, Write, and List permissions: Generate SAS URI in Azure Storage Explorer for Azure Data Factory Custom Setup
    We also recommend to add Delete permission too to support future functionality.
  6. Copy SAS URL to the clipboard and save it for the next step: Get container SAS URI for Azure Data Factory SSIS Custom Setup You can also generate and copy SAS URL from within Azure Portal itself: Generate SAS URI in Azure Data Factory Custom Setup via online portal

Create Azure-SSIS integration runtime

Once you have the SAS URL we obtained in the previous step, we are ready to move on to create an Azure-SSIS runtime in Azure Data Factory:

  1. Firstly, perform the steps described in Create an Azure-SSIS integration runtime article in Azure Data Factory reference.
  2. In Advanced settings page section, configure Custom setup container SAS URI you obtained in the previous step: Configure SAS URI in Azure Data Factory custom setup
  3. And you are done! That was quick! You can see your Azure-SSIS runtime up and running: Verify Azure-SSIS runtime status in Azure Data Factory portal

The custom setup script is executed only once — at the time an Azure-SSIS runtime is started.

It is also executed if you stop and start Azure-SSIS runtime again.

Deploy SSIS package in Visual Studio

We are ready to deploy the SSIS package to Azure-SSIS runtime. Once you do that, proceed to the next step for the grand finale! Deploy SSIS package to Azure Data Factory from Visual Studio

Execute SSIS package in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

After all hard work, we are ready to execute SSIS package in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS):

  1. Connect to the SQL Server which is linked to your Azure-SSIS runtime and contains SSISDB database.
  2. Navigate to Integration Services Catalog » Your Folder » Your Project » Your Package, right-click on it, and hit Execute...: Execute SSIS package using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
  3. To view the status of the past execution, navigate to Integration Services Catalog » Your Folder » Your Project » Your Package, right-click on it, and select Reports » Standard Reports » All Executions menu item: Monitor SSIS package execution using SSMS UI

Scenarios

Moving SSIS PowerPack license to another Azure-SSIS runtime

If you are a Paid Customer, there will be a time when you no longer use Azure-SSIS runtime or you need to use your license on a different ADF instance. To transfer a license from one Azure-SSIS runtime to another, perform these steps:

  1. Copy & paste this script into main.cmd we used in the previous step:
    set DIR=%CUSTOM_SETUP_SCRIPT_LOG_DIR%
    
    echo Calling Step 1 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    dir /s /b > "%DIR%\file_list.txt"
     
    echo Calling Step 2 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    
    ::Install SSIS PowerPack
    msiexec /i  "SSISPowerPackSetup_64bit.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL /q  /L*V "%DIR%\powerpack_install_log.txt"
     
    echo Calling Step 3 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
     
    ::De-Activate same license
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\ZappySys\SSIS PowerPack (64 bit)\LicenseManager.exe" -p SSISPowerPack --unregister --logfile "%DIR%\powerpack_un_register_log.txt"
     
    ::Show System Info
    echo Calling Step 4 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\ZappySys\SSIS PowerPack (64 bit)\LicenseManager.exe" -i -l "%DIR%\sysinfo_log.txt"
     
    echo Calling Step 5 : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
    dir "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\*Zappy*.*"  /s /b >> "%DIR%\installed_files.txt"
    dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\*Zappy*.*"  /s /b >> "%DIR%\installed_files.txt"
     
    echo DONE : %TIME% >> "%DIR%\steps_log.txt"
     
    echo complete
  2. Start Azure-SSIS runtime.
    This will unregister your license on the original Azure-SSIS runtime.
  3. Stop Azure-SSIS runtime to deallocate resources in Azure.
  4. Now you are free to activate it on another Azure-SSIS runtime.
