SOLVING BUSINESS PROBLEMS WITH SSISBusiness Problem:The ability to perform a one-time mass update to warehouse associates’ Tax ID in the Manhattan Associates Labor Management System (LM) for a new enhancement to automate Clock In/Out data

Solution: Create a SSIS package that retrieves their Employee ID (i.e. LM Tax ID) from the Warehouse Management System (WM) :•It validates if a user from the source .csv file from WM also exists in LM •If the User ID matches, it will update the LM Tax ID from the WM Employee ID and create a log of those successfully updated associates •If the User ID does not match or exist in LM, it will create a log of those associates that are only in WM•If the User ID does match and already has the correct LM Tax ID, it will create a log of those associates with no updates•When the package is complete, it will move the source .csv file to a “Processed” folder

Example: Created a SSAS cube for book sale data:•Analyzing business requirements: • To create relevant dimensions in a cube• To define many-to-many dimensions for

cross-referencing through fact tables, a role-playing for a Date Dimension, and referenced dimensions

• To define the attributes and hierarchies based on how the OLAP data will be sliced “BY” and displayed in reports

• To manage and deploy OLAP databases and extract dimension and fact source data from the data warehouse (staging area database) into the Cube from the SSIS package

• To create the appropriate calculations that will be used for reporting and performance management
