Chapter Introduction: What Is Included (Video)

More info about this video:

For many of you chapter 8 will be your last chapter, as chapter 9 is strictly for those moving from SQL Server 2000 DTS to SSIS.  This is not a difficult chapter, but it still covers important concepts such as security and context, different ways to execute SSIS packages, scheduling packages, and using package configurations with SQL jobs.  In this video Scott will give an overview of the chapter, which can be watched out of order.  This chapter will show you how to create packages that will accomplish goals, but the focus of this chapter is on security and executiong, not necessarily building the tasks.

Highlights from this video:

• Can I skip this chapter?
• Do you know how these concepts worked in SQL Server 2005?
  
• Security
• Package execution
• Deploying to different servers
  
• different credentials
• context
  

and much more

• Using the new formatting options in the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS)
• Aligning sides and centers
• Using the Visio-style controls to manipulate task-boxes and text
• Formatting text annotations
• Suggestions for auto-sizing
