Build Data Flows from SQL Server to Snapchat Ads through SSIS

SQL Server databases are commonly used to store enterprise records. It is often necessary to move this data to other locations. The CData SSIS Task for Snapchat Ads allows you to easily transfer Snapchat Ads data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to Snapchat Ads.

Add Source and Destination Components

To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new Snapchat Ads Destination control to the data flow task.

Configure the ADO.NET Source

Follow the steps below to specify properties required to connect to the SQL Server instance.

1. Open the ADO.NET Source and add a new connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "Table or view" and select the table or view to export into Snapchat Ads.
3. Close the ADO NET Source wizard and connect it to the destination component.

Create a New Connection Manager for Snapchat Ads

Follow the steps below to set required connection properties in the Connection Manager.

1. Create a new connection manager: In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
