Run SSIS from Package Design Screen ??

  • I created and saved an SSIS package. On the "Control Flow" screen, I would expect to see a "Run" or "Execute" button, so I can manually run the package & test the results.

    Is there such an option ?

  • If you developed the package as part of a solution, there will be a run button in the ribbon at the top, or in the debug menu.

    If you create/modify a package outside of a solution, then this will be replaced by a button labeled "Attach to process".  This will try to attach the package execution to a process on the machine (you select which one).  I am not sure what the implications are of attaching the SSIS package execution to one process or another would be (especially when it comes to the 32/64-bitness of the process you are attaching to).

  • Seems strange not to have a "RUN" button inside a stand-alone package.

    How did you create the package?  Was it created in Visual Studio - or through SSMS import/export?

    What version of SSDT are you using?

    You should be able to right-click the object and execute that task.  If there are multiple tasks you want to execute like this - then place them in a sequence container and execute the sequence container.
