How to write or lookup data to OneDrive in SSIS (Import data)
In upper section we learned how to read data, now in this section we will learn how to configure OneDrive in the API Source to Post data to the OneDrive.
-
Read the data from the source, being any desired source component. In example we will use ZappySys Dummy Data Source component.
-
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.
-
Select New Connection to create a new connection:
API Destination - OneDriveOneDrive Connector can be used to integrate OneDrive and your defined data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete OneDrive data in a few clicks!
-
Use a preinstalled OneDrive Connector from Popular Connector List or press Search Online radio button to download OneDrive Connector. Once downloaded simply use it in the configuration:
OneDrive
-
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.
OAuth App must be created in Microsoft Azure AD. These settings typically found here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-register-app-v2. [API Help..]
Steps to get OneDrive Credentials
Firstly, login into Azure Portal and there create an OAuth application:
- Go to Azure Portal and login there.
- Then go to Azure Active Directory.
- On the left side click menu item App registrations
- Then proceed with clicking New registration.
- Enter a name for your application.
- Select one of Accounts in this organizational directory only as supported account type to access data in your company.
- In Redirect URI section leave option selected at Web.
- In nearby textbox enter https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient as Redirect URI or any other valid redirect URL, e.g. https://zappysys.com/oauth
- Use this Redirect URI in Redirect URL grid row.
- Copy Application (client) ID and paste it into API Connection Manager configuration grid in Client ID row.
- Then click on Endpoints link and copy first URL to Authorization URL and second one to Token URL in configuration grid. Usually they look similar to these:
- https://login.microsoftonline.com/daed1250-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ef0a982d3d1e/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
- https://login.microsoftonline.com/daed1250-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ef0a982d3d1e/oauth2/v2.0/token
- https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
- https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
- Close "Endpoints" and create a Client Secret by clicking Certificates & secrets.
- Proceed by clicking New client secret and setting expiration period. Copy the client secret and paste it into configuration grid in Client Secret row.
- Use these scopes in Scopes field: offline_access Files.Read Files.Read.All Files.ReadWrite Files.ReadWrite.All openid profile User.Read email
- Click Generate Token to generate tokens.
NOTE: If you are planning to use your current data connection/token for automated processes, we recommend that you use a generic account for token generation when the login box appears (e.g. sales_automation@mycompany.com instead of bob_smith@mycompany.com). When you use a personal account which is tied to a specific employee profile and that employee leaves the company, the token may become invalid and any automated processes using that token will fail. Another potentially unwanted effect of using a personal token is incorrect logging; the API calls (e.g. Read, Edit, Delete, Upload) made with that token will record the specific user as performing the calls instead of an automated process.
- That's it!
