Clean data by using the SSIS DQS task

-
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) includes a DQS Transformation to correct data from a connected data source. The DQS Transformation Output column is populated with one of five status as listed below. You can use a Conditional Split Transformation to separate out the output records based on its status. You can apply different business logic to each stream or insert them to a table of file destination for manual processing.

To clean data using the SSIS DQS task follow these steps:
  • Open a new SSIS package in Visual Studio
  • Create a new Data Flow Task
  • Add a Source Component to extract the data to be cleansed
  • Add a DQS Cleansing transformation and connect it to the Source Component Output
  • Edit the DQS Cleansing transformation and set the Data Quality connection manager and Data Quality Knowledge Base to use for the cleansing activity
  • Click on the Mapping tab and map the Input Columns to the corresponding Knowledge Base Domain, then click OK
  • Add a Conditional Split transformation and connect it to the DQs Cleansing Output
  • Edit the Conditional Split transformation and add the following five outputs as shown








Add a destination component to each of the outputs from the Conditional Split transformation.

Non-blocking, semi-blocking, and blocking transforms in SSIS

-
Not all Data Flow transforms are created equal. In fact, some are much faster and require a  lot less memory (non-blocking transforms). Others are slower while consuming much more  memory (blocking transforms), and some are in between (semi-blocking transforms). We don’t  always have a choice if we need to use a certain transform to do a certain specified task, but  it is good to know the differences between these types of transforms so that we can better  understand performance and resource utilization issues. Synchronous and asynchronous There is another related aspect about Data Flow transforms, which is their ability to quickly  process a row as they are coming into the transform, independently of any other rows that  came before or after (synchronous transforms). The other type of transform needs to be  dependent on some or all of the rows that come before and after (asynchronous transforms). On the whole, non-blocking transforms a...

Implement fuzzy grouping, fuzzy lookup with SSIS

Image
A frequent problem that you may experience when you bring data from multiple sources  that need to be unified and consolidated and/or needs to be deduplicated. In the case of an  enterprise maintaining multiple customer or product sales information in for various business  entities, e.g. retail and web sales, or possibly different CRM programs that are a result of  a company merger, all of this information has to be brought under one roof within the data  warehouse. SQL Server provides two fuzzy transformations to help with such scenarios: Fuzzy grouping Fuzzy lookup These transformations can be used independently or in concert to assist with unification  and deduplication of your data. Both the fuzzy transformation algorithms create and utilize  temporary tables created within SQL Server. Fuzzy grouping Fuzzy grouping is used primarily for deduplicating and standardizing values in column data. Fuzzy grouping has input parameters a...

Use the Master Data Services Configuration Manager

-
The Master Data Services Configuration Manager can be used to do the initial setup and  configuration of the MDS database and web application. The MDS Configuration Manager can  be also used to upgrade the MDS database after a new SQL Server update has been installed  or to repair the MDS database in case of corruption or configuration mismatch after a database  has been restored from a backup. The Master Data Services Configuration Manager can also be used in migration scenarios,  for example, when the MDS database needs to be moved to a different SQL Server instance or  when to associate a different web application with an existing MDS database. In addition, the Master Data Services Configuration Manager is used to specify a series of  system settings related to database and web application services. The main settings and setting  categories include: General Settings Database connection time-out Database command time-out Web ser...
