Watch this quick video to see the integration in action. It walks you through the end-to-end setup, including:

  • Installing the SSIS PowerPack
  • Configuring a secure connection to Nativo
  • Working with Nativo data directly inside SSIS
  • Exploring advanced API Source features
While this video uses the OData Connector as an example, the core concepts and setup process are exactly the same for the Nativo Connector.

Once you are done watching, simply follow the step-by-step written guide below to configure your data source.

  • How to configure connection for Nativo
  • How to write or lookup data to Nativo
  • Features about SSIS API Destination
  • Using Nativo Connector in SSIS

Step-by-step instructions

In upper section we learned how to read data, now in this section we will learn how to configure Nativo in the API Source to POST data to the Nativo.

  1. Open Visual Studio and click Create a new project.

  2. Select Integration Services Project. Enter a name and location for your project, then click OK.

  3. From the SSIS Toolbox, drag and drop a Data Flow Task onto the Control Flow surface, and double-click it:

  5. Read the data from the source, using any desired source component. You can even make an API call using the ZappySys JSON/XML/API Source and read data from there. In this example, we will use an OLE DB Source component to read real-time data from a SQL Server database.

  6. 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. To configure the Nativo connector, choose one of the following methods:

    • Choose from Popular Connector List: Select a pre-installed service directly from the dropdown menu.
    • Search Online: Use this to find and download a new connector file to your computer.
    • Use Saved/Downloaded File: Once the file is downloaded, browse your local drive to load it into the configuration.

    After that, just click Continue >>:

    Nativo
    API Destination -
  9. Proceed with selecting the desired Authentication Type. Then select API Base URL (in most cases default one is the right one). Finally, fill in all the required parameters and set optional parameters if needed. You may press a link Steps to Configure which will help set certain parameters. More info is available in Authentication section.

    Execute Package

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

Once you configured the data source, you can load Nativo 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 Nativo 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:

Supported Nativo Connector actions

Got a specific use case in mind? We've mapped out exactly how to perform a variety of essential Nativo operations directly in SSIS, so you don't have to figure out the setup from scratch. Check out the step-by-step guides below:

Conclusion

In this article we showed you how to connect to Nativo in SSIS and integrate data without writing complex code — all of this was powered by Nativo Connector.
