Getting Started with the CData SSIS Components for Sage Intacct

Complete guide to installing, licensing, and connecting with the CData SSIS Components for Sage Intacct.

This guide explains everything you need to get started with the CData SSIS Components for Sage Intacct. You'll learn how to install the components, activate your license, configure your first SSIS connection manager, and build a data flow task to move and transform Sage Intacct data in your SQL Server Integration Services workflows.

About Sage Intacct Data Integration

CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from Sage Intact. Customers use CData connectivity to:

  • Access Sage Intacct without worrying about API updates or changes.
  • Access custom objects and fields in Sage Intacct with no extra configuration steps involved.
  • Write data back to Sage Intacct using embedded Web Services credentials with Basic authentication.
  • Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional operations like approving or declining vendors, inserting engagements, and creating or deleting custom objects or fields.

Users frequently integrate Sage Intact with analytics tools such as Tableau, Power BI, and Excel, and leverage our tools to replicate Workday data to databases or data warehouses.

Getting Started


Installation & Licensing

System Requirements

  • Windows: Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016+
  • Visual Studio: Visual Studio 2015 or later
  • SQL Server: SQL Server 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, or 2022

Installing the SSIS Components

  1. Download the SSIS Components installer for Sage Intacct from your CData account or the evaluation download page
  2. Run the installer and follow the installation wizard
  3. The installer automatically registers the Connection Manager, Source, and Destination components with Visual Studio
  4. When prompted, activate your license using the product key sent to you by the CData Orders Team:
    XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
    • Note: To run a trial, choose the Trial Key option.

Enabling SSIS in Visual Studio 2022

If you are using Visual Studio 2022, the SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension must be installed.

  1. In Visual Studio, select Extensions > Manage Extensions
  2. Search for SQL Server Integration Services Projects 2022
  3. Click Install
  4. Close Visual Studio and run the downloaded Microsoft.DataTools.IntegrationServices.exe installer
  5. Reopen Visual Studio. The Integration Services Project template will now appear when creating a new project

Activating Your License

During installation, you are prompted to activate the SSIS Component license. If you need to update or change activation:

License Activation

The installer automatically prompts you to add your license. During installation, you can choose to:

  • Use your existing subscription license key, or
  • Enter your trial license

To activate a full subscription license, contact the CData Orders Team and request your product key at [email protected].

Enter the license key in the installer when prompted. Once activated, the components will be licensed and ready to use inside Visual Studio without any additional steps.

Runtime Licensing

When deploying SSIS packages, a Runtime Key (RTK) can also be used:

  • Set the RTK property in the Connection Manager before deployment

Common Licensing Questions

Can I use my license on multiple machines?
Yes, depending on your subscription tier. Contact [email protected] for details.

I lost my license key. How do I retrieve it?
Email [email protected] with your order number, and we'll resend your license key.

How do I transfer my license to another machine?

Yes. When transferring the license to a different machine, you will need to submit a License Transfer Request on our site linked below:

https://www.cdata.com/lic/transfer/

After the License Transfer Request is submitted and successfully processed, an activation will be added to your Product Key and you will be able to activate the full license on the other machine. Once this process is finished, the license on the previous machine will be invalid.

You may also view and upgrade licenses in the self-service portal at portal.cdata.com.

Connection Configuration

Once the components are installed and licensed, you can configure a connection to Sage Intacct using an SSIS Connection Manager. This Connection Manager stores all authentication and connection properties used by the Source and Destination components.

Creating a Connection Manager

  1. In the bottom Connection Managers panel of your SSIS package, right-click and select New Connection 👁 Selecting new connection
  2. Select CData SSIS Components for Sage Intacct from the list 👁 Adding Connection Manager
  3. Click Add to open the Connection Manager UI
  4. Enter the required authentication properties (OAuth, API token, client credentials, etc.) depending on your Sage Intacct

    5. Configuring Connection Properties

    To connect using the Login method, the following connection properties are required: User, Password, CompanyId, SenderId and SenderPassword.

    User, Password, and CompanyId are the credentials for the account you wish to connect to.

    SenderId and SenderPassword are the Web Services credentials assigned to you by Sage Intacct.

  5. Click Test Connection to confirm connectivity 👁 Testing connection

Building an SSIS Data Flow

With a Connection Manager created, you can now pull data from Sage Intacct or push data into it using SSIS data flow tasks.

Creating a Data Flow Task

  1. In the Control Flow tab, drag a Data Flow Task onto the design surface 👁 Dropping data flow task
  2. Double-click the task to open the Data Flow workspace

Using the Source Component

  1. In the SSIS Toolbox, drag the CData Sage Intacct Source component into the Data Flow 👁 Dropping source component
  2. Double-click it to open the Source Editor
  3. Select the CData Sage Intacct Connection Manager you created 👁 Selecting CM and table
  4. Choose a table or view to extract records from
  5. Click OK to save your configuration

Using the Destination Component

  1. Drag a SQL Server Destination onto the canvas 👁 Dragging destination component
  2. Double-click it to open the Destination Editor 👁 Adding new CM
  3. Select an existing table or click New to auto-generate a table based on the Source schema 👁 Creating new table
  4. Connect the Source output to the Destination input and map the columns as needed
  5. At this point you have created a data flow task for replicating your Sage Intacct data to a SQL Server database 👁 Completing data flow task

Testing Your Data Flow

  1. Return to the Control Flow tab
  2. Click Start Debugging
  3. Monitor the progress indicators
  4. Review row counts and ensure data is loading as expected

Common Connection Issues
