Export Data from SQL Server to SurveyMonkey through SSIS

SQL Server databases are commonly used to store enterprise records. It is often necessary to move this data to other locations. The CData SSIS Task for SurveyMonkey allows you to easily transfer SurveyMonkey data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to SurveyMonkey.

Add Source and Destination Components

To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new SurveyMonkey Destination control to the data flow task.

Configure the ADO.NET Source

Follow the steps below to specify properties required to connect to the SQL Server instance.

1. Open the ADO.NET Source and add a new connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "Table or view" and select the table or view to export into SurveyMonkey.
3. Close the ADO NET Source wizard and connect it to the destination component.

Create a New Connection Manager for SurveyMonkey

Follow the steps below to set required connection properties in the Connection Manager.

1. Create a new connection manager: In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
2. Select CData SurveyMonkey Connection Manager in the menu.
3. Configure the connection properties. A typical connection requires:
   • OAuthClientId
   • OAuthClientSecret
   • CallbackURL

   SurveyMonkey uses the OAuth 2 authentication standard. See the Getting Started section in the help documentation for a guide.

   

Configure the SurveyMonkey Destination

In the destination component Connection Manager, define mappings from the SQL Server source table into the SurveyMonkey destination table.

1. Double-click the SurveyMonkey destination to open the destination component editor.
2. In the Connection Managers tab, select the connection manager previously created.
