Getting Started with the CData SSIS Components for Bitbucket

This guide explains everything you need to get started with the CData SSIS Components for Bitbucket. You'll learn how to install the components, activate your license, configure your first SSIS connection manager, and build a data flow task to move and transform Bitbucket data in your SQL Server Integration Services workflows.

Installation & Licensing

System Requirements

• Windows: Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016+
• Visual Studio: Visual Studio 2015 or later
• SQL Server: SQL Server 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, or 2022

Installing the SSIS Components

1. Download the SSIS Components installer for Bitbucket from your CData account or the evaluation download page
2. Run the installer and follow the installation wizard
3. The installer automatically registers the Connection Manager, Source, and Destination components with Visual Studio
4. When prompted, activate your license using the product key sent to you by the CData Orders Team:
   XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
   • Note: To run a trial, choose the Trial Key option.

Enabling SSIS in Visual Studio 2022

If you are using Visual Studio 2022, the SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension must be installed.

1. In Visual Studio, select Extensions > Manage Extensions
2. Search for SQL Server Integration Services Projects 2022
3. Click Install
4. Close Visual Studio and run the downloaded Microsoft.DataTools.IntegrationServices.exe installer
5. Reopen Visual Studio. The Integration Services Project template will now appear when creating a new project

Activating Your License

During installation, you are prompted to activate the SSIS Component license. If you need to update or change activation:

License Activation

The installer automatically prompts you to add your license. During installation, you can choose to:

• Use your existing subscription license key, or
• Enter your trial license

To activate a full subscription license, contact the CData Orders Team and request your product key at [email protected].

Enter the license key in the installer when prompted. Once activated, the components will be licensed and ready to use inside Visual Studio without any additional steps.

Runtime Licensing

When deploying SSIS packages, a Runtime Key (RTK) can also be used:

• Set the RTK property in the Connection Manager before deployment

Common Licensing Questions

Can I use my license on multiple machines?
Yes, depending on your subscription tier. Contact [email protected] for details.

I lost my license key. How do I retrieve it?
Email [email protected] with your order number, and we'll resend your license key.

How do I transfer my license to another machine?

Yes. When transferring the license to a different machine, you will need to submit a License Transfer Request on our site linked below:

After the License Transfer Request is submitted and successfully processed, an activation will be added to your Product Key and you will be able to activate the full license on the other machine. Once this process is finished, the license on the previous machine will be invalid.

You may also view and upgrade licenses in the self-service portal at portal.cdata.com.

Connection Configuration

Once the components are installed and licensed, you can configure a connection to Bitbucket using an SSIS Connection Manager. This Connection Manager stores all authentication and connection properties used by the Source and Destination components.

Creating a Connection Manager

1. In the bottom Connection Managers panel of your SSIS package, right-click and select New Connection
2. Select CData SSIS Components for Bitbucket from the list
3. Click Add to open the Connection Manager UI
4. Enter the required authentication properties (OAuth, API token, client credentials, etc.) depending on your Bitbucket

Configuring Connection Properties

For most queries, you must set the Workspace. The only exception to this is the Workspaces table, which does not require this property to be set, as querying it provides a list of workspace slugs that can be used to set Workspace. To query this table, you must set Schema to 'Information' and execute the query SELECT * FROM Workspaces>.

Setting Schema to 'Information' displays general information. To connect to Bitbucket, set these parameters:

• Schema: To show general information about a workspace, such as its users, repositories, and projects, set this to Information. Otherwise, set this to the schema of the repository or project you are querying. To get a full set of available schemas, query the sys_schemas table.
• Workspace: Required if you are not querying the Workspaces table. This property is not required for querying the Workspaces table, as that query only returns a list of workspace slugs that can be used to set Workspace.

Authenticating to Bitbucket

Bitbucket supports OAuth authentication only. To enable this authentication from all OAuth flows, you must create a custom OAuth application, and set AuthScheme to OAuth.

Be sure to review the Help documentation for the required connection properties for you specific authentication needs (desktop applications, web applications, and headless machines).

Creating a custom OAuth application

From your Bitbucket account:

1. Go to Settings (the gear icon) and select Workspace Settings.
2. In the Apps and Features section, select OAuth Consumers.
3. Click Add Consumer.
4. Enter a name and description for your custom application.
5. Set the callback URL:
   • For desktop applications and headless machines, use http://localhost:33333 or another port number of your choice. The URI you set here becomes the CallbackURL property.
   • For web applications, set the callback URL to a trusted redirect URL. This URL is the web location the user returns to with the token that verifies that your application has been granted access.
6. If you plan to use client credentials to authenticate, you must select This is a private consumer. In the driver, you must set AuthScheme to client.
7. Select which permissions to give your OAuth application. These determine what data you can read and write with it.
8. To save the new custom application, click Save.
9. After the application has been saved, you can select it to view its settings. The application's Key and Secret are displayed. Record these for future use. You will use the Key to set the OAuthClientId and the Secret to set the OAuthClientSecret.
5. Click Test Connection to confirm connectivity

Building an SSIS Data Flow

With a Connection Manager created, you can now pull data from Bitbucket or push data into it using SSIS data flow tasks.

Creating a Data Flow Task

1. In the Control Flow tab, drag a Data Flow Task onto the design surface
2. Double-click the task to open the Data Flow workspace

Using the Source Component

1. In the SSIS Toolbox, drag the CData Bitbucket Source component into the Data Flow
2. Double-click it to open the Source Editor
3. Select the CData Bitbucket Connection Manager you created
4. Choose a table or view to extract records from
5. Click OK to save your configuration

Using the Destination Component

1. Drag a SQL Server Destination onto the canvas
2. Double-click it to open the Destination Editor
3. Select an existing table or click New to auto-generate a table based on the Source schema
4. Connect the Source output to the Destination input and map the columns as needed
5. At this point you have created a data flow task for replicating your Bitbucket data to a SQL Server database

Testing Your Data Flow

1. Return to the Control Flow tab
2. Click Start Debugging
3. Monitor the progress indicators
4. Review row counts and ensure data is loading as expected

Common Connection Issues

Authentication Failed

Solution: Verify OAuth settings, client IDs, secrets, or token permissions for your Bitbucket. Contact [email protected] for OAuth troubleshooting.

Cannot Reach Server

Solution: Check firewall, proxy, and VPN configurations. Contact [email protected] for specific port requirements.

Table Not Found

Solution: Confirm you selected the correct schema or database when querying Bitbucket.

FAQs

Installation & Licensing

• Do I need administrator rights to install the SSIS Components?
  Yes, administrator rights are required to install components for use across Visual Studio.

Performance & Troubleshooting

• Why is my data flow slow?
  Add filters, limit rows, and ensure batching settings are configured in the Source component.
• How do I enable logging?
  Add the following to your connection manager:
  • Logfile: /path/to/logfile.log
  • Verbosity: 3
