Package deployment through local machines

  • Is there a way to deploy package without logging on server? From local machine or developer machine?

  • Anybody?

  • Not enough information. File system or SQL Server deployment? And what precisely do you want avoid doing - visiting the server physically, using an RDP session, mapping a drive to the server? Is it a single package or a whole project? Does it use Package Configuration and if so where are the configuration settings held?

  • For new packages and old packages; package will reside in MSDB. I am trying to avoid RDP access to users to logon to server and deploy that way. I haven't tried package configuration yet. Old packages are not deployed using package configurations. To edit and deploy, is there any alternatives for developers without logging onto server?

  • I don't use packages in msdb, so I'm not entirely sure. Are you using a deployment manifest? If so, you sholuld be able to just specify the location of the package, in this case msdb on a certain server. If not, you should just be able to save the package to SQL Server. Try it on a test server.

    Packages should be developed locally using Visual Studio.

    When they are ready to be deployed to the server, you can use dtutil to deploy them.
