Script Task - ( SSIS Control Flow )

The Script Task in SSIS Control Flow allows you to add custom code to your package. You can use C# or VB.NET code to perform any task that you could do in a console application.

Syntax

The syntax for creating a Script Task is as follows:

public void Main()
{
    // Add your C# or VB.NET code here
}

Example

Here is an example of a Script Task that writes a message to the SSIS log:

public void Main()
{
    Dts.Log("Hello, World!", 0, null);
    Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}

Output

The output of a Script Task is determined by the code that you write. You can write code to perform any number of tasks, such as retrieving data from a database, sending an email, or manipulating files.

Explanation

The Script Task allows you to add custom code to your SSIS package. The code that you write can perform any task that you could perform in a console application. You can access SSIS variables, retrieve data from databases, manipulate files, and more.

To add a Script Task to your SSIS Control Flow, simply drag the task from the SSIS Toolbox and drop it onto the design surface. Then, double-click on the task to open the Script Task Editor, and write your custom code.

Use

You can use the Script Task to perform any task that you could perform in a console application. This allows you to extend the functionality of your SSIS package beyond what is possible with the built-in tasks and transformations.

Some common uses for the Script Task include:

• Retrieving data from databases
• Manipulating files
• Sending email notifications
• Performing custom calculations or transformations

Important Points

• The Script Task uses either C# or VB.NET code.
• You can access SSIS variables and connection managers from your code.
• The Script Task can be used to perform any task that you could perform in a console application.

Summary

The Script Task is a powerful tool that allows you to add custom code to your SSIS package. You can use C# or VB.NET to perform any task that you could perform in a console application, such as retrieving data from databases or manipulating files. By using the Script Task, you can extend the functionality of your SSIS package beyond what is possible with the built-in tasks and transformations.
