All,
i am a bit new to the concept of SSIS packages and was earlier using DTS packages in the 2000 version.
There is a requirement to accomplish certain ETL activities between DB2 databases and at times between DB2 and SQL server database.
for this same purpose we have a SQL server 2008 installed along with BIDS. Is a database installation also required along with it? we dont intend to store anything related to the application.
