How to Make Generic API Request (Bulk Write) — Nativo Connector for SSIS

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

1. SSIS designer installed. Sometimes it is referred as BIDS or SSDT (download it from Microsoft).
2. Basic knowledge of SSIS package development using Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services.
3. SSIS PowerPack is installed (if you are new to SSIS PowerPack, then get started!).

Make Generic API Request (Bulk Write) in SSIS

1. Begin with opening Visual Studio and Create a New Project.

2. 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.

3. Now, Drag and Drop SSIS Data Flow Task from SSIS Toolbox. Double click on the Data Flow Task to see Data Flow designer.

   

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

5. 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.
   

   

6. Select New Connection to create a new connection:
