Designing a ETL Solution Architecture for the Enterprise using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

The purpose of this course is to teach Business Intelligence (BI) professionals working in enterprise environments to design an extract, transform, and load (ETL) solution that supports their BI solution. Students will learn how to plan an ETL solution, and specifically how to design and implement a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) based ETL solution. They will also learn how to monitor, optimize, and deploy an SSIS solution. The course focuses on the planning and design aspects of an ETL solution and does not teach students how to create SSIS packages or how to use the development tools provided with SQL Server 2005. After completing this course, students will be able to: • Plan data transfer and staging solutions for an ETL operation. • Plan an SSIS Solution. • Design and implement data flows. • Incorporate logging, error handling, and reliability into a package. • Optimize an SSIS solution. • Deploy and operate an SSIS solution.

Voor wie

This course is intended for experienced Business Intelligence (BI) professionals. The target students for this course already have experience of using the SQL Server 2005 tools to implement ETL functionality, but need to develop their understanding of design principles and best practices when planning, implementing, and deploying an ETL solution.
