Hi All,
I hope someone can help me. I've recently been tasked with developing an SSIS package to consolidate data contained on two separate servers. The data collected from each can only be moved to either server by FTP.
This means that SSIS can't connect to either server by using Server credentials. The steps that I'm trying to achieve are below:
1. SSIS extracts data from Secure Server 1 and Secure Server 2
2. Data is consolidated into one or more tables
3. Data is delivered to SQL Server tables that are identical within both Secure servers
4. Users from both environments can safely connect to the data in each of their environments
My concern is that I need a SSIS package on each server extracting data, then using FTP to transfer data between the two Servers, then using SSIS to consolidate and then, again, using FTP to transfer results to each server, and once more, using SSIS to import to SQL Tables within the respective Servers.
My concern is TIMING! if I need two SSIS packages, is there a way to trigger SSIS from one server to another using FTP or what is the most effective way achieve my goal?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
