Export Data from SQL Server to TaxJar through SSIS



Easily push SQL Server data to TaxJar using the CData SSIS Tasks for TaxJar.

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 TaxJar allows you to easily transfer TaxJar data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to TaxJar.

Add Source and Destination Components

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

Create a New Connection Manager for TaxJar

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

    To authenticate to the TaxJar API, you will need to first obtain the API Key from the TaxJar UI.

    NOTE: the API is available only for Professional and Premium TaxJar plans.

    If you already have a Professional or Premium plan you can find the API Key by logging in the TaxJar UI and navigating to Account -> TaxJar API. After obtaining the API Key, you can set it in the APIKey connection property.

    Additional Notes

    • By default, the CData connector will retrieve data of the last 3 months in cases where the entity support date range filtering. You can set StartDate to specify the minimum creation date of the data retrieved.
    • If the API Key has been created for a sandbox API account please set UseSandbox to true, but not all endpoints will work as expected. For more information, refer to the TaxJar developer documentation.

Configure the TaxJar Destination

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

  1. Double-click the TaxJar 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 Orders. 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.
