In our articles published recently on this forum, we have been discussing the use of dtexec.exe command line utility in executing SSIS projects and packages. Its superior role in this area results primarily from its flexibility, which not only allows you to control execution behavior in a very granular manner, but also provides access to […]

In our most recent article published on this forum, we described the way to leverage the dtexec.exe utility to execute SQL Server 2012 Integration Services (SSIS) packages stored in the traditional .dtsx file system format. However, as you might recall from our earlier discussions on the subject, of two SSIS deployment models (Package and Project), […]

SQL Server 2012 Integration Services introduced a new approach to manage the deployment of packages developed using SQL Server Data Tools, referred to as Project Deployment Model, while still maintaining support for traditional methodology (labeled as Package Deployment Model). As the result, SSIS packages can reside in any of the following locations: file system outside […]

As we have recently demonstrated on this forum, SQL Server 2012 Integration Services offers several different options for deploying and storing SSIS packages along with their associated projects (whenever applicable). These options are directly related to two deployment models available in SQL Server Data Tools console. The choice of the deployment model (Project or Package) […]

As we have described in our recent articles published on this forum, SQL Server 2012 Integration Services introduces an innovative approach to deploying SSIS projects, known as Project Deployment Model. This is the default and recommended deployment technique, due to a number of benefits it delivers (such as, the ability to centralize management of package […]
