I am using SSIS to transfer data from MS SQl server as data source and Sharepoint list as data destination. Now, I need to fire an update command on the sharepoint list. Please guide me to implement this.

The requirement is to use a list of contacts in a spreadsheet (excel/CSV) and "merge" this data with a microsoft SQL table.
I've looked at Data Quality Services and i can't find a way to use my own Reference Data Service.
Is there any other way to use a spreadsheet to edit, update data in a Microsoft SQL server 2012 table.
Thanks in advance
As of now, DQS does not support using own reference data sets.
I have been given the task to Load all our company's project data from MS Project into SQL Server to be able to create reports and dashboards from the project data.
I know you can export a specific projects data into a access database, but every project must have it's own access database. So my first thoughts was to create some kind of dynamic access SSIS connector and ETL. So that the project managers export their projects to access and the SSIS package takes care of the rest.
Is there a simpler way of doing this?
My company also have a SharePoint infrastructure as well as SAP BusinessObjects infrastructure. Is there a way I can accomplish this by the use of SharePoint or bobj
The simplest but costy way is called MS Project Server - it stores all data in MS SQL database already, has precalculated reporting database and so on. Here is a link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973404.aspx. The last version can be either installed locally or hosted by Microsoft.
Another option I see is to use kind of automation around MS Project which will load project plan, extract all interested information and upload to to your database. There is no big magic in this solution.
The third option is to export projects to XML and then use the XML to upload data to SQL Server database. This solution is also doable through Project automation
After defining your database and column structure in SQL Server, just use Project VBA to A) collect the project and task data into an array, B) set a connection string to your database, then C) send it. I have created several applications around this procedure and it works very well.
Anyone knows of a easy way to export a sql server table to a sharepoint list
If you're using SharePoint 2010:
How to: Create an External Content Type Based on a SQL Server Table
If you will use SSIS to perform the export, take a look at the SharePoint List Source and Destination in the Microsoft SQL Server Community Samples: Integration Services project on CodePlex.
I am using WSS 3.0 and trying to restore a mdf. I attached the database in SQL Management Studio, created a new web application, and associated the database to it. When I go into Central Administration-> Application Management -> Content Databases I see the WSS_Content and it says Sites: 2. One of the sites looks more similar to the other. I was able to log into the Sharepoint web app that has the db attached to it, and while it gives me the basic structure of the backed up site, the content of lists is blank, that was the data I was really after (Announcements, tasks, etc exist as lists but are empty). How do I get access to this?
Kindly remove your old database and make newly added database as a default/only database for your webapplication
I'd link to the the data from SQL Server into an Access database.. and then use MS Access to write these values back into sharepoint.
I've written a LOT of data to sharepoint using MS Access.. and I love the functionality.
the data is in SQL server.. but it's got different guids, or it's not wired up from what I'd assume.
You have the data posted to the SQL Server instance.. I'd just link to it in MS Access, write a couple of queries.. recreate a couple of lists.. and then push it from queries based on Access linked tables (to sql server).. and then jam it into Access linked tables (to sharepoint).
Open Access. right-click link basically. times two. and write a couple of queries.
If it was me, and it was just a couple of lists, I'd do this in a couple of minutes I swear.
i want to display the SQL server data which is in table form into the SHarepoint.
I dont have sharepoint 2007/2010
I just have SHarepoint services 3.0 and sharepoint designer 2007
please help.
I think business data catalog cant be used in this version.
IS it true ?
do i have to go for paid version ?
You could use SharePoint designer to create a webpart that shows sql data. Look at the following article. YOu cannot use that data in another way (i.e. as a column in a list or something linke that, you need the BDC for that).
