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

Add Source and Destination Components

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

Create a New Connection Manager for Autify

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 Autify Connection Manager in the menu.
3. Configure the connection properties.

   In order to authenticate, you must specify the Autify API Key and Project ID:

   • ApiKey: Log into your account and go to Configurations/Personal Settings and create "New personal access token".
   • ProjectId: ID of the project in your account URL. For ex: If URL is "https://app.autify.com/projects/343/scenarios", 343 is your ProjectId.

Configure the Autify Destination

In the destination component Connection Manager, define mappings from the SQL Server source table into the Autify destination table and the action you want to perform on the Autify data. In this article, you will insert Scenarios entities to Autify.

1. Double-click the Autify destination to open the destination component editor.
2. In the Connection Managers tab, select the connection manager previously created.
3. In the Use a Table, menu, select Scenarios. In the Action menu, select Insert.
4. On the Column Mappings tab, configure the mappings from the input columns to the destination columns.

Run the Project

You can now run the project. After the SSIS Task has finished executing, data from your SQL table will be exported to the chosen table.
