Default Simple dimension update in SSIS???? - 03-22-2006 , 10:36 AM






Hi,

SSIS doesn't provides an easy to use interface for a simple dimension
update.
have you any workaround?

In my staging database I allready know which rows are new and which rows
need an update.
The new is simple, I insert, so the mapping is easy and automatically
generated by SSIS.

but an update statement no.
instead-of displaying a user friendly column name, SSIS display Param_1,
Param_2 etc...
so any error in the mapping and I invert the first name and last name of my
employee...

also, this method disallow a good metadata tracking, I can't know which
column update my destination column.

any idea of how to create this mapping more easely, quickly and securely :-)

Does I have to create my own destination object? if yes, any sample
anywhere?
any other idea?

thanks.

Jerome.
