Hello SSC,
I have a question about executing SSIS packages from a .bat file. I have been on a few blogs and it looks like I have to configure the SSIS package to do this. I was hoping that I could just create a .bat file to execute the file system SSIS package. It looks pretty straight forward, but I am unsure if I have to do anything with my package.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks as always :).

the executable you want is dtexec.exe. that executable can launch a dtsx package from the command line, and you do not need to make any modifications to your package.
mine is located here on my machine: note the double quotes to to spaces in the path.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DTS\Binn\dt
exec.exe" /?
a proper example to call a package, without making any changes to any variables would look like this; you can google a bit if you need to assign values to variables.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DTS\Binn\dtexec.exe" /FILE "C:\Folder with spaces\Package.dtsx"

the /? gives you some flag information
