  • integration services are needed for running the packages. designing them is done in BIDS (Business Intelligence Design Studio - or something like that)

  • u mean if integration services are not installed then packages can't be executed?

  • thats the way i understand it to be yes. i stand to be corrected by anyone though if its wrong. You can obviously schedule the packages to run using sql jobs which will use the sql agent but unless the integration services components are installed the package will fail.

  • I believe this is true. Integration Services is the subsystem for running packages. They can be stored in msdb or in the file system, and built in Visual Studio or the BIDS tool, but SSIS is required to execute them.

  • This is definitely true. I ran into this same issue last week and had to install integration services on the server to be able to schedule the job.

  • It is all true, except for running maintenance plans which are really just specialized SSIS packages. Maintenance plans as of SP2 (I believe it was this, could have been SP1) are not run using integration services.

  • thats what i wanted to know, how come maintainance plans run without integration services?

  • Maintenance plans include a small subset of SSIS and contain their own installation of an embedded SSIS. Prior to SP2 they required SSIS to be installed. After that, some basic components were installed to allow them to run without the SSIS installation.

  • can u tell me the drive location of those maintainance plan packages?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    They are not stored in the file system - maintenance plans are stored in MSDB. You can export them using dtutil or BIDS to the file system if you want.

    How to do what? Create a new SSIS project in BIDS and Add Existing items to the project. When prompted, put in the appropriate information and select the package you want to add to your project.
