Import Sharepoint Document Library using SSIS

Question

We need to import SharePoint Document Library (which could be holding multiple document in multiple formats) to a destination folder (on different server) using SSIS.

Answer 1

There are open source SSIS adapters available for SharePoint. You can use these.

Answer 2

You can also create a script task in ssis and use c# to extract files from SharePoint Library to a local folder. Make sure the SharePoint url only contains siteurl/Library/Folder/File (no special characters). Below copies one file but can be modified to copy multiple files. Good luck.

using System.net;


public void main ()
{
WebClient Client = new WebClient();
Client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
Client.DownloadFile("yourSharePointurl/File.ext", 
@"YourLocalFolder/File.ext");
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
