Build Data Flows from Vercel to SQL Server using SSIS

Using SQL Server as a backup for critical business data provides an essential safety net against loss. Backing up data to SQL Server enables business users to more easily connect that data with features like reporting, analytics, and more.

This example demonstrates how to use the CData SSIS Tasks for Vercel inside of a SQL Server SSIS workflow to transfer Vercel data into a Microsoft SQL Server database.

Add the Components

To get started, add a new Vercel source and SQL Server ADO.NET destination to a new data flow task.

Create a New Connection Manager

Follow the steps below to save Vercel connection properties in a connection manager.

1. In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
2. In the Connection Manager type menu, select API. The CData Vercel Connection Manager is displayed.
3. Configure connection properties.

   Using API Key Authentication

   Vercel uses Bearer token authentication. You can use either a personal access token or an OAuth access token as the API key.

   To obtain a personal access token:

   1. Log into your Vercel account at https://vercel.com/
   2. Navigate to Account Settings > Tokens.
   3. Click Create Token, enter a name and expiration, and click Create.
   4. Copy the generated token (it will only be shown once).

   After obtaining your token, set the following connection properties:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
   • APIKey: Set this to your Vercel personal access token or OAuth access token.

   Example Connection String

   Profile=C:\profiles\Vercel.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;APIKey=your_access_token;
   

   Working with Teams

   Many Vercel resources are scoped to a team. To scope all requests to a specific team, set the TeamId connection property to your team's ID. You can find your team ID by querying the Teams table or from the Vercel dashboard. Alternatively, you can specify TeamId in your SQL queries using the WHERE clause where supported.

   Connecting to Vercel

   Once the authentication is configured, you can connect to Vercel and query data from any of the available tables such as Projects, Deployments, Teams, and Domains.

Configure the Vercel Source

Follow the steps below to specify the query to be used to extract Vercel data.

1. Double-click the Vercel source to open the source component editor.
2. In the Connection Manager menu, select the connection manager previously created.
3. Specify the query to use for the data extraction. For example:

   SELECT , FROM User WHERE = ''
   

   👁 The SQL query to retrieve records. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
4. Close the Vercel Source control and connect it to the ADO.NET Destination.

Configure the SQL Server Destination

Follow the steps below to specify the SQL server table to load the Vercel data into.

1. Open the ADO.NET Destination and add a New Connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "table or view".
3. In the Table Or View menu, select the table or view to populate.
4. Configure any properties you wish to on the Mappings screen. 👁 The mappings from the SSIS source component to SQL Server. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

Run the Project

You can now run the project. After the SSIS Task has finished executing, your database will be populated with Vercel data.
