Establishing a Connection
Enabling SSIS in Visual Studio 2022
If you're using Visual Studio 2022, you will need to install the SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension to use SSIS.
- Navigate to Extensions > Manage Extensions.
- In the Manage Extensions window's search box, search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects 2022" and select the extension in the list.
- Click Download.
- Close Visual Studio and run the downloaded Microsoft.DataTools.IntegrationServices.exe installer. Proceed through the installer with default settings.
- Open Visual Studio. There should now be an "Integration Services Project" project template available.
Adding the Redis Connection Manager
Create a new connection manager as follows:
- Create a Visual Studio project with the "Integration Services Project" template.
- In the project, right-click within the Connection Managers window and select New Connection from the menu.
- In the Description column, select CData Redis Connection Manager and click Add...
- Configure the component as described in the next section.
Alternatively, if you have an existing project and CData Redis Source or CData Redis Destination:
- Right-click your CData Redis source or destination component in your data flow
- Select Edit... to open an editor window.
- Click the New... button next to the Connection manager: dropdown selector to create a connection manager.
- Configure the component as described in the next section.
Connecting to Redis
Set the Server connection property to the name or address of the server your Redis instance is running on.
If your Redis server is running on a port other than the default (6379), you can specify your port in the Port property.
Authenticating to Redis
The component supports Password and ACL authentication. Connections to Redis instances that aren't password protected are supported as well.
No Authentication
Set the AuthScheme property to None. This indicates the Redis instance is not password protected (using the requirepass directive in the configuration file).
Password
Set the AuthScheme property to Password and set the Password property to the password used to authenticate with a password protected Redis instance using the Redis AUTH command.
ACL (Access Control List)
Set the following to connect:
- AuthScheme: Set this to ACL.
- User: Set this to the username you use to authenticate with Redis ACL.
- Password: Set this to the password you use to authenticate with Redis ACL.
Securing Redis Connections
You can set UseSSL to negotiate SSL/TLS encryption when you connect.
