How do I view the SSIS packages in SQL Server Management Studio?

Question

Argh! I created an SSIS package via an Import Wizard and I can\'t find the SSIS packages on the server using Management Studio. Execute an SSIS package doesn\'t appear as an opt

Answer 1

1. Open SQL server Management Studio.
2. Go to Connect to Server and select the Server Type as Integration Services and give the Server Name then click connect.
3. Go to Object Explorer on the left corner.
4. You can see the Stored Package folder in Object Explorer.
5. Expand the Stored Package folder, here you can see the SSIS interfaces.

Answer 2

The wizard likely created the package as a file. Do a search on your system for files with an extension of .dtsx. This is the actual "SSIS Package" file.

As for loading it in Management Studio, you don't actually view it through there. If you have SQL Server 2005 loaded on your machine, look in the program group. You should find an application with the same icon as Visual Studio called "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio". It's basically a stripped down version of VS 2005 which allows you to create SSIS packages.

Create a blank solution and add your .dtsx file to that to edit/view it.

Answer 3

Came across SSIS package that schedule to run as sql job, you can identify where the SSIS package located by looking at the sql job properties; SQL job -> properties -> Steps (from select a page on left side) -> select job (from job list) -> edit -> job step properties shows up this got all the configuration for SSIS package, including its original path, in my case its under “MSDB”

Now connect to sql integration services; - open sql management studio - select server type to “integration services” - enter server name - you will see your SSIS package under “stored packages”

to edit the package right click and export to “file system” you’ll get file with extension .dtx it can be open in visual studio, I used the version visual studio 2012

Answer 4

If you deployed the package to the "Integration Services Catalog" on SSMS you can retrieve the package using Visual studio.

Answer 5

1. you could find it under intergration services option in object explorer.
2. you could find the packages under integration services catalog where all packages are deployed.

Answer 6

When you start SSMS, it allows you to choose a Server Type and Server Name. In the server type dropdown, choose "Integration Services" and connect to the server.

Then you'll be able to see what packages are in the db.
