I want to know if there is any way to create SSIS packages or projects using Visual Studio Code. Are there any setting, extensions or tools available for the same ? I was trying to find a way to get similar environment for SSIS in Visual Studio Code but was unable to find any such tools or extensions which are needed for SSIS in Visual Studio Code. I want to know if there are any possible ways to do so and if yes, then how can I possibly do that

    Hi, thank you for reaching out. My name is Deeksha and I'm a Microsoft user like yourself and I will try to help you as best as I can today.

    Step 1: Install Microsoft Visual Studio If you don’t already have Visual Studio installed, you will need to download and install it. Use the Community Edition if you're eligible, as it's free for many users.

    Navigate to the Visual Studio download page: Visual Studio Downloads Download Visual Studio Community Edition: Click on the Community Edition, download and run the installer. Follow Installation Prompts: During the installation process, you will select workloads.

    Step 2: Install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) During the Visual Studio installation process, you can add SSDT by selecting the appropriate workload.

    Select Workloads: In the installer window, you’ll see different workloads for various development needs. Choose 'Data storage and processing' Workload: This workload includes SSDT. Make sure it is checked. Review and Modify Installation (if Visual Studio is already installed): Open Visual Studio Installer from your Start Menu. Click on 'Modify' next to your installation. Check "Data storage and processing" and then modify/update. Install and Wait: Continue with the installation. This might take some time depending on your internet speed and computer performance.

    Step 3: Create a New SSIS Project Once SSDT is installed, you can create a new SSIS project in Visual Studio.

    Open Visual Studio: Start Visual Studio from your Start Menu. Create a New Project: Select File > New > Project from the menu. In the “Create a new project” window, type "Integration Services" in the search box to filter the project types. Select “Integration Services Project”. Click Next. Configure Your Project: Name your project and select or create a directory for it. Click Create. Design Your SSIS Package: Use the SSIS Toolbox to drag and drop tasks and configure them. Use the Solution Explorer to manage files and connections within your project.

    Step 4: Work on Your SSIS Package In the SSIS Designer, you can start adding tasks and configuring your data flows:

    Add Data Flow Tasks: Drag a Data Flow Task from the SSIS Toolbox to your design surface. Configure Data Sources and Destinations: Double-click the Data Flow Task. Add source and destination components from the Toolbox. Configure connections to your data sources and specify data destinations.

    Step 5: Build and Deploy Your SSIS Package Once your package is set up, you need to build and potentially deploy it to an SQL Server.

    Build Your Project: Right-click on your project in Solution Explorer and select Build. Deploy: Right-click on the project and select Deploy to bring up the deployment wizard. Follow the instructions to deploy your package to SQL Server.

    Step 6: Test and Execute Your SSIS Package Test your SSIS package to ensure it performs as expected.

    Execute the Package: Right-click within the design surface and select Execute Package. Monitor Execution: Observe the process and check for any errors or warnings in the Output window.

    Try these steps and hopefully, it resolves your issue. In case you need further help or assistance, please let us know. You can also contact Microsoft Support if the problem persists.

    Best regards Deeksha

    Hi Eva, I am Sumit, and I will gladly assist you today. Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    I am afraid for an answer for Visual studio code, you will need to ask QA. It is supported there. We here support end consumer products.
