Delete SSISDB

  • We enabled / created SSISDB in one of our non-prod environments before we discovered we aren't allowed to use SSISDB on our servers (long story, don't ask). Now I'm trying to figure out if we can just delete the database or if there is something else we need to do in order to properly remove it.

    All the articles Google points me to talks about cleaning up old projects and data in SSISDB. I can't find a single one about dropping / deleting / removing SSISDB itself.

    Does anyone know if it will cause any problems if I just drop the database?

    I can't imagine any issues at all, though it's not something I have ever done. I'd be tempted to take it offline for a week or two first, just in case something unexpected happens and it needs to be reanimated quickly (please post if it does, as it would be interesting to know).

  • You also need to remove the SSIS maintenance agent job - but other than that there shouldn't be any issues.  That system will still think it has been configured though - not sure what would happen if you tried to re-enable it again.

    It's too bad, I know you have had a lot of issues with SSIS in the past and the recommendations have all been to upgrade to use the catalog.

  • The question is a bit old, but in case it can help someone else, here is what I did to disable SSISDB Catalog.

    In SSMS go to Integration Services Catalogs folder, right click on the SSIDB catalog and choose Delete.

    It will drop the catalog, drop the SSISDB database and drop the maintenance Job.

    It will allow you to re-create/re-enable again in the future if needed.

  • I deleted SSISDB and now I canot create a new one.Just wanted to ask you here what should I do but...I restarted the SQL Server Integration Service only allows to create again a new SSIDB.

  • Did you delete the SSISDB Catalog or the SSISDB Database ?

    Which verison of SQL Server do you run ? Do you have an error message when you try to create a new catalog ?

    Check if :

    • the SSISDB database is gone
    • the SSISDB catalog is gone
    • the SSIS Server Maintenance Job is gone

    English is not my native language... so, you know... sorry in advance 😉

  • Yes of course.

    SQL 2019.

    No error.

    They are gone but new catalog NOT available to select and use. The only way is to restart the service!
