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.

1. Navigate to Extensions > Manage Extensions.
2. In the Manage Extensions window's search box, search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects 2022" and select the extension in the list.
3. Click Download.
4. Close Visual Studio and run the downloaded Microsoft.DataTools.IntegrationServices.exe installer. Proceed through the installer with default settings.
5. Open Visual Studio. There should now be an "Integration Services Project" project template available.

Adding the IBM Cloud Object Storage Connection Manager

Create a new connection manager as follows:

1. Create a Visual Studio project with the "Integration Services Project" template.
2. In the project, right-click within the Connection Managers window and select New Connection from the menu.
3. In the Description column, select CData IBM Cloud Object Storage Connection Manager and click Add...
4. Configure the component as described in the next section.

Alternatively, if you have an existing project and CData IBM Cloud Object Storage Source or CData IBM Cloud Object Storage Destination:

1. Right-click your CData IBM Cloud Object Storage source or destination component in your data flow
2. Select Edit... to open an editor window.
3. Click the New... button next to the Connection manager: dropdown selector to create a connection manager.
4. Configure the component as described in the next section.

Connecting to IBM Cloud Object Storage

To connect to IBM Cloud Object Storage data, set these parameters:

• InitiateOAuth: GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
• ApiKey: The API key which was noted during setup (see Before You Connect).
• CloudObjectStorageCRN (Optional): The cloud object storage CRN established during setup (see Before You Connect). The component attempts to retrieve this automatically, but if you have more than one Cloud Object Storage account, we recommend that you specify this explicitly.

When you connect, the component completes the OAuth process.

1. Extracts the access token and authenticates requests.
2. Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation to be persisted across connections.
