Deploying SSIS for dynamics 365

Posted on by Ashay Shingornikar 135

Hi Experts,

I have created a SSIS package using kingswaysoft tool to extract data from attachment uploaded and push the same to new entity. 

Ours is Dynamics 365 environment. I am wondering where should I deploy my SSIS package so it will get triggered when attachment is uploaded?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks, 

Ashay

    If you are looking for a cloud alternative for SSIS, please have a look at Azure Logice Apps or more simple version of Logic Apps -> Microsoft Flow. For SSIS you need to install and maintain a SQL Server.

    It is not SSIS per se, but is meant for data integration in cloud and onpremises systems.

    With current technology, and if using CRM Online, then the way I'd do this is:

    1. Commission an Azure VM and install SQL and SSIS on it. Deploy the package on this server
    2. Use either a plugin to post to the Azure Service Bus or Event Hub, or an event hook (if using CRM 9) to send a message to the Azure VM when there's a new attachment
    3. Write some (can be pretty simple) .Net code run on the Azure VM and listen for the message in step 2, then run the SSIS package

    Although each step is not too onerous if you know the technology, the overhead of an Azure VM may be excessive, if this is the only use of SSIS. Instead, I'd consider just writing a plugin to do the work, and not use SSIS.

    Another option, if the process is not time critical, is to schedule the SSIS package to run frequently (maybe every 5 minutes) to check for new attachments and process them. This avoids the need for a notification mechanism, and would allow you to deploy the SSIS package on an OnPremise SQL Server, if you had one available

    Note my caveat ('current technology') in the first sentence. At time of writing Microsoft have Azure Data Factory v2 in Preview, which would allow you to run an SSIS package without needing an Azure VM, but this does not (yet) support custom components (such as KingswaySoft)
