Deploying /Editing SSIS packages remotely problem

  • Hi All,

    I wanted to know whether there is a way of Editing SSIS packages remotely and also deploying them remotely as well, so the user doesn’t have to remotely connect to the windows server in order to deploy SSIS packages.

    The old SQL 2000 DTS would allow users to remotely create DTS packages and deploy it remotely.

  • So long as you can connect to the remove server via SQL, you can create it locally, and save it to MSDB on the remote server. To edit it, open it from the server and resave it to the server. Fiddly but doable.

  • Hi

    When it comes to editing it, thats where the problem is.

    What if i dont want people to edit the package from the server, cant that be done remotely?

  • Yes it can. Open a solution in BIDS and add existing package. Choose SQL Server location. This will open the package from the server even though your client machine is sitting at the north pole.

    You could probably put some security in SQL to stop any local accounts opening the package but off the top of My head, I don't know how.
