Interview Question :: SQL Server 2005 SSIS capabilities


I have never really worked with SSIS but I have a situation and I am wondering if a SSIS project could take care of it for me. SAP is going to be dumping flat text files (not IDOCS) into a folder, I want to grab those files, parse out the data that I need, and store the data into the SQL Server 2005 DB. Is it possible to write a program that can do this using SSIS. A SSIS project that will grab files every X seconds, parse that data, then run SP's to insert the SAP data into the correct SQL tables in my database? I know I can write a C# application to do this but I was wondering if this can be accomplished through SSIS?

RE: SQL Server 2005 SSIS capabilities?

you can do a data flow in SSIS specifying that the source is flat file and then do an sql task (which is parsing out the data you need) and then as the destination specify the database you want this dumped into. you can set the ssis job to run when you want.
