That's it; we successfully configured the POST API Call. In a few clicks we configured the Jira API call using ZappySys Jira Connector
Load Jira data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination (Insert or Update)
Once you read data from the desired source, now let's see how to Load Jira 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 Jira and load the data in the SQL Server/PostgreSql/Redshift using Upsert Destination.
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 How to design, debug, deploy, schedule SSIS Package (In SQL Agent and Catalog) article to see how to do it.
