SSIS package A discrete executable unit of work composed of a collection of control flow
and other objects, including data sources, transformations, process sequence,
and rules, error and event handling, and data destinations.
Containers Package objects that provide structure to packages and special services to
tasks. Containers are used to support repeating control flows in packages and
to group tasks. Containers can include other containers in addition to tasks.
Tasks Package elements that define activities and processes, including data sources,
destinations, transformations, and others.
Precedence Constraints that link executables, containers, and tasks within the package
constraints control flow and specify conditions that determine the sequence and
conditions for determining whether executables run.
Variables Storage for values that an SSIS package and its containers, tasks, and event
handlers can use at run time. The scripts in the Script task and the Script
component can also use variables.
Control flow An SSIS package process control component used to control flow elements:
the containers that provide structure in packages and services to tasks, tasks
that provide functionality in packages, and precedence constraints that
connect containers and tasks.
Data flow An SSIS package data process control component defined from within
package control flow that loads data from sources, transforms and routes it
through transformations, and saves it to destinations.
Event handler An SSIS package process control component used to define the process
activities to be performed at the time of a specific event state for the package
or for any of its tasks or containers.
Data Pipeline The memory-based, multithreaded, buffered transformation process flow of
data through an SSIS data flow task during package execution.
BIDS SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. Provides the
Integration Services project in which you create packages, their data sources,
and data source views.
SSMS SQL Server Management Studio. Provides the Integration Services service
that you use to manage packages and monitor running packages.

Solution A container for projects in BIDS. It can contain multiple projects, but at a
minimum, a solution contains one project.
Project Contains all of the files and object definitions for a specific type of
business intelligence project (such as Integration Services, Analysis
Services, or Reporting Services). All of these files are managed in a file
system folder and are referenced in the project definition files.
Business A special edition of Visual Studio that is installed with the SQL Server
Intelligence 2005 client tools. No special licensing is required, and it may be distributed
Development freely within the organization for BI and database developers connected to
Studio (BIDS) a database server.
SSIS package Consists of connection managers, control flow tasks, containers, data
sources, transformations, and data destinations. These components are used
in concert to perform data extract, transform, and load (ETL) operations.
SSIS Import and Used to create a package from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or
Export Wizard from an SSIS project in BIDS. A package and all of its components can
also be created manually in an SSIS project within the BIDS environment.
Visual SourceSafe A version control system similar to Microsoft Team Foundation that is used
to manage files and collaborate with other developers. These applications
maintain a central copy of the files and allow files to be checked out,
checked in, and locked by different developers. A project and all related
files should be managed within the developer's personal hard disk or file
system. A single project should never be shared between different
developers. These files should be backed up regularly regardless of whether
they are to be shared with others.
Execute package In BIDS, a package that can be executed in Debug mode by using the
Debug menu or toolbar or from Solution Explorer. In production, the
package can be executed from the command line or from a Microsoft
Windows utility, or it can be scheduled for automated execution by using
the SQL Server Agent.
