I'm trying to create an expression for a date variable. My SSIS package is calling a particular RESTful JSON API and the date parameters format has to be in the <br />
RFC 3339 or UTC ISO-8601 format. So if I wanted to get a date for today &nbsp;i'd like to create an expression in order to make it auto populate. I've never ran into this format so i'm not very familiar. <br />
<br />
so for today at 4:00PM my variable expression needs to look like this: &nbsp; 2019-02-26T16:00:00Z

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server database software that can be used to perform a broad range of data migration tasks. SSIS is a platform for data integration and workflow applications. It features a fast and flexible data warehousing tool used for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). The tool may also be used to automate maintenance of SQL Server databases and updates to multidimensional cube data. SSIS replaced Data Transformation Services, which had been a feature of SQL Server since Version 7.0.
