Export Data from SQL Server to Cosmos DB 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 Cosmos DB allows you to easily transfer Cosmos DB data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to Cosmos DB.

Add Source and Destination Components

To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new Cosmos DB 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 Cosmos DB.
3. Close the ADO NET Source wizard and connect it to the destination component.

Create a New Connection Manager for Cosmos DB

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 CosmosDB Connection Manager in the menu.
3. Configure the connection properties. A typical connection requires:
   • AccountEndpoint
   • AccountKey

   SQL API を使ってCosmos DB アカウントに接続するために必要な接続文字列を取得するには、Azure Portal にログインして［Azure Cosmos DB］を選択し、自分のアカウントを選択します。［Settings］セクションで、［Connection String］をクリックして次の値を設定します。

   • AccountEndpoint: 値は、Cosmos DB アカウントの［Keys］ブレードからのCosmos DB アカウントURL である必要があります。
   • AccountKey: Azure ポータルで、Cosmos DB サービスに移動してAzure Cosmos DB アカウントを選択します。リソースメニューから、 ［Keys］ページに移動します。［PRIMARY KEY］値を見つけ、Token をこの値に設定します。
   

Configure the Cosmos DB Destination

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

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