SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS ) coding conventions, best practices, tips and programming guidelines for sql server.This slide is really helpful for starting conversion between architects and developers. Just print 2nd slide and put on your desk as coding life board.

1. SSISCoding Conventions, Best Practices, Tips and Programming Guidelines
BY-VISHAL PAWAR

2. Remember - SSIS is an
in-memory pipeline
Extract data in parallel
Use Specific SSIS Process
step logging
Calling a child package
multiple times
Unnecessary columns
usage and avoidance
Pulling High Volumes of
Data
Utilization of Checkpoint
features
Remember - SSIS is case-
sensitive for all name
Optimum use of event
in event handlers
Utilize more SQL Script
usage for optimization
SQL job with many
atomic steps
Use queries instead of
tables
Avoid SELECT * in SSIS
Query
understanding SSIS
resource utilization
Sequence containers to
organize package
Configure Data access
mode option in OLEDB
Email only when
something is failing
Distributed transaction
spanning multiple tasks
Filter, Sort, Group, Join
in source
Effect of OLEDB
Destination Settings
Application and
Hardware contention
How much memory
does my package use?
SSIS parallelism is Key
for Optimization
Audit- and Event-Driven
Logging
Limit the package names
to 100 chars
Non-blocking, Semi-
blocking & Full-blocking
Maximum Insert Commit
Size Settings
Partial Caching and No
Caching Usage
Use Proper data types in
SSIS variable
Rows / sec = Row Count
/ TimeData Flow
Scheduling and
monitoring SSIS Package
Excel Source and 64-bit
runtime
High Volumes of Data
and indexes
SQL Server Destination
Adapter
Avoid using dot (.) is all
names and script
Minimize logged
operations
Don’t use too many
single-threaded tasks
Keep it simple example
getdate() from server
On failure component
Decision stop/continue
formatting of the SSIS
package must
Avoid asynchronous
transformation
SQL Task is our best
friend in SSIS
Get all configuration
from SQL Table DB
Baseline source system
extract speed
SSIS variable and
Scoping Reach SSIS Use Protection
Level=DontSaveSensitive
Better performance with
parallel execution
Always do performance
benchmark & Test
SSIS connection for
Package use dynamic
SSIS and network
topology relation
Sequencing, Formatting,
& Annotation - Proper
filter your data in the
Source Adapter
Lookup transformation
consideration
DefaultBufferMaxSize
DefaultBufferMaxRows
Plan for capacity
precedence constraints
to control package flow
SSIS and I/O bound
Relationship
Grouping SSIS Task
whenever possible
variables to store your
expressions
implicit typecast
Awareness
BufferTempStoragePath
BLOBTempStoragePath
performance impact
analysis for changes
Use caching in your
LOOKUP components
Process / Private Bytes
(DTEXEC.exe)
Improve drivers and
driver configurations
Use common folder
structure
use template
packages to standardize
DelayValidation property
True - skip
Priorities usage of
custom and tasks
Rename all Name and
Description properties
Process / Working Set
(DTEXEC.exe)
Start multiple
connections
Protection level -
DontSaveSenstive
Develop a SSIS
framework first
MaxConcurrentExecutab
les and Parallelism
Deployments – File
System or SQL server
Sort in the query instead
of in adaptors
Memory Manager/Total
Server Memory-SQL
Use multiple NIC cards Copy pasting the Script
component
Design Deployment &
debugging strategy
Monitoring the SSIS
Performance
Real-time SSIS Package
calling and Needs
Extract required data
with validation
SSIS - Memory / Page
Reads / sec
Always log to a text file Optimal use of
configuration records
Use BIDSHelper
Add in for productivity
Distributed Transaction
in SSIS
Maintenance and
Troubleshooting Impact
