Now when we execute the package it will do the execution but we are not sure at
what point what happens. So in order to see the transformation between the source
and the destination we can use a data viewer browser.

Data viewer provides different options to view the data, the types are: Grid,
Histogram, Scatter Plot, and Chart Format. To start the data viewer Right click on the
green arrow which connects the source and destination and select the data viewer. It
will open the window as shown below.

Now click on ok will take the Grid view. Now we are done with the configuration and
ready to execute the package. We can see a viewer icon next to the arrow as shown in
the screen below which indicates that the viewer is active to view.

We have an arrow button in the browser, once we are done with our analysis we can
click on the button to proceed. Once we click that button the execution start and
proceed further and the final screen will appear as shown in screen below.

Conclusion:

In this chapter we have seen how to use the data viewer to analyze the data and to
proceed further which acts like a debugging portion for SSIS packaging.

DATA VIEWERS (HISTOGRAM)

Introduction
In this chapter we are going to see how to use the Data viewers (Histogram) in SSIS
packaging. Data viewers are used as one of the debugging option for the developers to
check the data between the processes of a packaging.
Data viewers are good at places where we have a minimum data to analyze and then
executing the package at the development stage to see the changed took place in the
prior task and proceed to the next task.
Let’s jump start to see this sample how to set the properties of the control.

Steps

Follow steps 1 to 3 of the first chapter to open the BIDS project and select the right
project to work on integration services project. Once the project is created, we will see
how to use the data viewers to see the data flow.

Now once the project is opened drag and drop a source and a destination task along
with a dataflow to do some manipulation as shown in the screen below.

Now we will do a small task on copying the data from the source table to a destination
file using the OLEDB source and Flatfile destination as shown in the screen above.

Now let’s configure both the tasks to make a flow as shown in the screen below.
