By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles of ETL and the role of SSIS.
• Create, deploy, and manage SSIS packages.
• Design and implement Control Flow to define the flow of tasks in a package.
• Implement Workflow and set up constraints for effective task execution.
• Construct Data Flows to extract, transform, and load data.
• Work with Variables and Containers to enhance package flexibility.
• Manage Transactions to ensure data consistency.
• Implement effective error handling and debugging techniques.
• Set up Logging for tracking and monitoring.
• Handle Slowly Changing Dimensions for managing changing data.
• Deploy a Package for production use.
