Integration Services User Interface

Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

In addition to the design surfaces on the SSIS Designer tabs, the user interface provides access to the following windows and dialog boxes for adding features to packages and configuring the properties of package objects:

  • The dialog boxes and windows that you use to add functionality such as logging and configurations to packages.

  • The custom editors for configuring the properties of package objects. Almost every type of container, task, and data flow component has its own custom editor.

  • The Advanced Editor dialog box, a generic editor that provides more detailed configuration options for many data flow components.

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) also provides windows and dialog boxes for configuring the environment and working with packages.

Dialog Boxes and Windows

After you open a package or create a new package in SSIS Designer, the following dialog boxes and windows are available.

This table lists the dialog boxes that are available from the SSIS menu and the design surfaces of SSIS Designer.

Dialog box Purpose Access
Getting Started Access samples, tutorials, and videos. On the design surface of the Control Flow tab or the Data Flow tab, right-click and then click Getting Started.

To automatically display the Getting Started window when you create a new Integration Services project, select Always show in new project at the bottom of the window.
Configure SSIS Logs Configure logging for a package and its tasks by adding logs and setting logging details. On the SSIS menu, click Logging.

-or-

Right-click anywhere on the design surface of the Control Flow tab, and then click Logging.
Package Configuration Organizer Add and edit package configurations. You run the Package Configuration Wizard from this dialog box. On the SSIS menu, click Package Configurations.

-or-

Right-click anywhere on the design surface of the Control Flow tab, and then click Package Configurations.
Digital Signing Sign a package or remove the signature from the package. On the SSIS menu, click Digital Signing.

Right-click anywhere on the design surface of the Control Flow tab, and then click Digital Signing.
Set Breakpoints Enable breakpoints on tasks and set breakpoint properties. On the design surface of the Control Flow tab, right-click a task or container, and then click Edit Breakpoints. To set a breakpoint on the package, right-click anywhere on the design surface of the Control Flow tab, and then click Edit Breakpoints.

The Getting Started window provides links to samples, tutorials, and videos. To add links to additional content, modify the SamplesSites.xml file that is included with the current release of SQL Server Integration Services. It is recommended that you not modify the <GettingStartedSamples> element value that specifies the RSS feed URL. The file is located in the <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn folder. On a 64-bit computer, the file is located in the <drive>:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn folder

If the SamplesSites.xml file does become corrupted, replace the xml in the file with the following default xml.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

- <SamplesSites>

<GettingStartedSamples>https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=203147</GettingStartedSamples>

Custom Editors

Integration Services provides a custom dialog box for most containers, tasks, sources, transformations, and destinations.

The following table describes how to access custom dialog boxes.

Editor type Access
Container. For more information, see Integration Services Containers. On the design surface of the Control Flow tab, double-click the container.
Task. For more information, see Integration Services Tasks. On the design surface of the Control Flow tab, double-click the task.
Source. On the design surface of the Data Flow tab, double-click the source.

Destination. On the design surface of the Data Flow tab, double-click the destination.

Advanced Editor

The Advanced Editor dialog box is a user interface for configuring data flow components. It reflects the properties of the component using a generic layout. The Advanced Editor dialog box is not available to Integration Services transformations that have multiple inputs.

To open this editor, click ShowAdvanced Editor in the Properties window or right-click a data flow component, and then click ShowAdvanced Editor.

If you create a custom source, transformation, or destination but do not want to write a custom user interface, you can use the Advanced Editor instead.

SQL Server Data Tools Features

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) provides windows, dialog boxes, and menu options for working with Integration Services packages.
