In other ways, we can call them as standard packages that can be re-used during different ETL component development.

SSIS Junkie : SSIS: Suggested Best Practices and naming conventions

I thought it would be worth publishing a list of guidelines that I see as SSIS development best practices. These are my own opinions and are based upon my experience of using SSIS over the past 18 months. I am not saying you should take them as gospel but these are generally tried and tested methods and if nothing else should serve as a basis for you developing your own SSIS best practices. One thing I really would like to see getting adopted is a common naming convention for tasks and components and to that end I have published some suggestions at the bottom of this post. http://consultingblogs.emc.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/01/05/SSIS_3A00_-Suggested-Best-Practices-and-naming-conventions.aspx
In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this: 1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found; http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/331652d1-aec7-4fcc-9eab-15c73fe4b4e1/

SSIS Community Tasks and Components

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alextch/archive/2011/05/15/active-directory-data-from-extract-load-and-transform-etl-perspective.aspx Ensuring consistency of the data stored in Active Directory should be one of the top priorities in achieving the overall security of an enterprise. By consistency in this context I imply how well the organization structure of a company is represented inside Active Directory, i.e. how accurately group memberships are mapped to the business tasks assigned to the employees. This task could only be accomplished by instituting regular and vigorous data analysis procedures.

Parallel execution improves the performance on the computers that have multiple physical or logical processors. To support parallel execution of different tasks in the package, SSIS uses two properties: MaxConcurrentExecutables and EngineThreads. In my next article on SSIS Parallel processing I will cover how you can utilize the parallel processing capabilities of SSIS. http://arshadali.blogspot.com/2009/03/ssis-parallel-processing.html

Balanced Data Distributor

A few weeks ago Microsoft quietly released a new Data Flow transformation for SSIS 2008 and 2008 R2: Balanced Data Distributor. This transform takes a single input and distributes the incoming rows to one or more outputs uniformly via multi-threading. UPDATE: 2012 version has been released How does it work?

Parallel Loop Task | CozyRoc

Overview The Parallel Loop Task is an SSIS Control Flow task, which can execute multiple iterations of the standard Foreach Loop Container concurrently. Based on actual tests, when a CPU-intensive process is run on a 4-core machine using this Parallel Loop Task , it executes 3 times faster as compared to running the same process sequentially. Setup Use the General page of the Parallel Loop Task Editor dialog to configure the parameters needed to execute a loop in parallel. Parameters
