You can use the BCP utilities to customize SQLServer connections in DataFlow.

Follow these steps to install the BCP utility for SQLServer:

  1. Download the Microsoft Red Hat repository configuration file.
    #sudo curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/8/prod.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/msprod.repo
    
  2. If you already installed an earlier version of mssql-tools, remove the older unixODBC packages.
    #sudo yum remove mssql-tools unixODBC-utf16-devel
    
  3. Run the following commands to install mssql-tools with the unixODBC developer package.
    #sudo yum install mssql-tools unixODBC-devel
    
  4. To add bcp/sqlcmd command and make it available to DataFlow, create its symlinks in the /usr/bin folder.
    #sudo ln -s /opt/mssql-tools/bin/bcp /usr/bin/bcp
    #sudo ln -s /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd /usr/bin/sqlcmd
    
  5. Verify your installation by running either the bcp or the sqlcmd command.
    #bcp
    #sqlcmd
    
  6. Restart the DataFlow services.
    #tscli --adv service restart dataflow
