tracking changes to SSIS packages

  • is it possible to somehow track changes made to any SSIS packages stored in SQL Server? if it is then how can it be implemented?

    thanks

  • There is the source control option from within business intelligence studio - but its not part of SQL Server - that would be the obvious choice for tracking.

    SSIS Packages deployed to a server just seem to be held as dtsx files in

    \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Packages

    The [SSIS Configurations] table seems to contain only data to run the package, so possibly no use in tracking changes.

    I tried importing a file system dtsx package, and it did sucessfully become an MSDB package, from where you can track it on the msdb.dbo.syddtspackages90 table (add a trigger to the table to write a history - but I'm not sure how useful this would be as the package data is in a binary field)

    So the short answer is there is no obvious or easy way within SQL Server.

  • Hi Tom,

    I'm new to SSIS, and I had one QUERRY, May I ask you?
