SSIS Package Execution for a non BIDS installed user

  • Is is possible to build an SSIS package that a person who does not have BIDS installed on their local machine can execute.

    I have a project where a person who does not have BIDS installed needs to be able to execute a package for file validation.

    hmm

    how about the task kicks off when a certain folder has a file in it?

    you turn the task into a SQL Server Agent job that checks the directory every 5 minutes

  • How about installing SSMS?

    You can call it via command line also. Here is the info:

  • Thanks everybody, but maybe I did not explain this very well. The user in this case will not have BIDS nor SQL Server installed on their machine. I just wanted to know if I provided them a SSIS package if they would be able to execute it without having the said above installed. Just needed for a file validation test.

    No, they will not. DTSX is not a self-encapsulated compiled software, it's a map for other software to use, in particular, IS server.
