Deploying SSIS Packages

By: Ray Barley

Overview

When we are ready to deploy our packages we have the following options available:

Deploy to the file system
Deploy to the package store
Deploy to SQL Server

The simplest approach to deployment is probably to deploy to the file system. As SSIS package is actually just an XML file and it can simply be copied from its project location to a folder on the deployment target. You can use the DOS COPY command, Windows Explorer, etc. to perform the copy operation. The package store is a particular folder on the file system; the default for SQL Server 2005 is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Packages. SSIS packages deployed to SQL Server are stored in the msdb database.

There are three ways to deploy our packages:

Create a deployment utility from our project
Use the DTUTIL command line tool
Use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

In this section of the tutorial we will discuss the deployment options.

I'm having a problem while deploying SSIS Package in Integration Services Catalog. It gives me error like this when I try to create a folder in SSISDB "Operation 'Create' on object 'CatalogFolder[@Name=SSISTEST']' failed during execution. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=11.0.5058.0+((SQL11_PCU_Main).140514-1820+)&LinkId=20476

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

The operation cannot be started by an account that uses SQL Server Authentication. Start the operation with an account that uses Windows Authentication. The operation cannot be started by an account that uses SQL Server Authentication. Start the operation with an account that uses Windows Authentication. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 27123)"

It seems like I cannot use SQL server authentication user for creating a catalog. When I was trying to Deploy the project through BIDS the same thing happens it's going to use windows authentication which is not valid in my case.

Is there any way I can use SQL server authentication for deployment purpose.

Hi,

Can you tell me if it is possible to deploy SSIS 2014 packges to file system and SQL server I see only one option to deploy in SSIS catalog.

When i try to automate my package through SQL agent they still show 4 options to pick up a package i.e. file system,ssis package store,sql server, SSIS catalog. But, I can only deploy package using SSIS catalog.
