ManagedEngine ServiceDesk Plus (Zoho) Connector for SSISManagedEngine (Zoho) ServiceDesk Plus Connector can be used to integrate ServiceDesk Plus data in your App / BI Tools. You can read/write Requests, Tasks, Comments, Worklogs and many other items. In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate ManagedEngine ServiceDesk Plus (Zoho) data in SSIS without coding. We will use high-performance ManagedEngine ServiceDesk Plus (Zoho) Connector to easily connect to ManagedEngine ServiceDesk Plus (Zoho) and then access the data inside SSIS. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! ManagedEngine ServiceDesk Plus (Zoho) Connector for SSIS is based on ZappySys API Connector Framework which is a part of SSIS PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance SSIS connectors that enable you to integrate data with virtually any data provider supported by SSIS, including SQL Server. SSIS PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few (if you are new to SSIS and SSIS PowerPack, find out more on how to use them). |

Load ManagedEngine ServiceDesk Plus (Zoho) data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination (Insert or Update)
Once you configured the data source, you can load ManagedEngine ServiceDesk Plus (Zoho) 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
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.
-
From the SSIS Toolbox drag-and-drop Upsert Destination component onto the Data Flow designer background.
-
Connect your SSIS source component to Upsert Destination.
-
Double-click on Upsert Destination component to open configuration window.
-
Start by selecting the Action from the list.
-
Next, select the desired target connection or create one by clicking <New [provider] Connection> menu item from the Target Connection dropdown.
-
Then select a table from the Target Table list or click New button to create a new table based on the source columns.
-
Continue by checking Insert and Update options according to your scenario (e.g. if Update option is unchecked, no updates will be made).
-
Finally, click Map All button to map all columns and then select the Key columns to match the columns on:
-
Click OK to save the configuration.
-
Run the package and ManagedEngine ServiceDesk Plus (Zoho) data will be merged with the target table in SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Redshift:
-
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:
