SSIS Package not showing under MSDB file - sql

I am running SQL Server 2008 R2 and after trial and error I created a package the server agent executes on a schedule, on test server. When I move over to the production server - Using SSMS logged in as SA - I create the package from right clicking the database and going to tasks just like I did in test.
When I log into the Integration Services I see all the folders including the MSDB folder, but my saved package isn't there. When I go to Server agent and navigate to the package I created it's there! But it fails when the Server Agent runs it.
I am trying to eliminate the running of the package itself as the thing causing the error. This is the first time anyone has used the Integration service on the production server so maybe there's a setup step that was missed? How do I get my packages to show up in SSMS under the MSDB folder just like on my test database?

Stop SSIS package after running locally

In dire need of help. I have a simple SSIS package created but here is the thing. It is NOT stored nor ran from the SQL Server Agent. It's stored locally. We don't have access to utilize SQL Server Agent. So we are using a batch file that is scheduled in Windows to execute the SSIS package. This works, however, someone has to press the stop button when finished. I've googled how to stop it through vb.net but everything I've read is based on hitting the SQL server, looking for the package name and then stopping it this way. Since this isn't stored in SQL Server, that method doesn't work. Any ideas?

Running batch file in ssis SQl Agent job

Scheduled a SSIS package on my Sql Server Agent, when i go to the Job History it says the Job succeded for the time it was scheduled to run, but im noticing the Job does nothing, i mean the Package is running but it's not doing what it is supossed to do.
I know the Package works because when i go to the BI Studio and rightclick>Execute Package it works.
Could be a security issue. Agent jobs run as the Agent Service Account, so you want to make sure that account has correct permissions in the database or else you will need to create an SSIS proxy to run the job.

How to create Tabular Project for Analysis Services using REMOTE workspace server

I am trying to create a Visual Studio SSAS Tabular project connecting to a remote workspace server without success. I have no problem creating and deploying using localhost.
However I need the remote server to deploy to production or shared development server. I get error: "Cannot deploy model to the deployment database server 'xxxx.cloudapp.net'. Reason: You are not an Administrator on the deployment database server 'xxxx.cloudapp.net'."
I know I am reaching the server as otherwise the error is about not connecting to the server. I am already running Visual Studio as mydomain\adminuser and added it to the Analysis Server to make it administrator. However I am still getting that error. I can also connect remotely to the Analysis Server in Management Studio using that same user.
All the examples I've seen use localhost but have not found any using a shared/remote server even though some say it is possible without showing how. By the way, I understand using a local instance is better for development but I still need to deploy to a remote server. Hope that makes sense. Please help.
I ran into the same issue when trying to deploy a SSAS Tabular model remotely. The corresponding MSFT docs further even discourages to deploy to production via Visual Studio.
But, a viable alternative is to deploy via XMLA:
Create your SSAS Tabular Model in Visual Studio and use your local SSAS instance for your workspace database
Launch SSMS connecting to your local SSAS instance
Right-click on your workspace database, and select Script > Script Database As > CREATE to > File
Open the generated XMLA file, and a) replace the temporary workspace database name with the database name on the deployment server, and b) search for the database connection string and re-add the password (see the note here)
Launch SSMS connecting to your deployment SSAS instance
Open the XMLA file, and Execute it (by pressing F5)
Refresh the list of databases, right-click on the new one, and select Process Database
In case you already have a deployed database, then you need to select the ALTER to option instead of CREATE to in step 3 above.

What are the connection managers to connect to an external SSAS cube in SSDT 2012

We are experiencing issues when executing an SSIS package from a SQL Server job. However, when we execute the package locally, it is successful. The package connects to an external SSAS cube using MDX. I have attached the error message below. The connection manager is OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 11.0. We can successfully ping the external site where the cube is located from the server
with the job.
Unfortunately, at this point, it appears that the issue is related to the windows server core install. I found this link which outlines the issues related to core - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee441257(v=ws.10).aspx. We can get the job to execute from a Windows Server with a full version install, but not on the core install.

Run SSIS package from SQL client

I deployed my working package on server which is enterprise edition, SSIS installed on it. When I tries to run package by connecting to integration services engine from my desktop SQL client (which doesn't have SSIS installed) I get error "The task "Send Mail Task" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition."
Does it mean that I need to login to the server (RDP) and then run the package?
Also, when I schedule the package thru SQL agent it fails saying login time out but my windos auth login works for everything from connecting, deployment. Any clue?
For your first problem - yes, you need to RDP into the server in order to use SSMS to start the package. When you start it using SSMS on your client, it's attempting to launch the DTExec process on your client machine. It's not running DTExec on the server.
Your second problem is likely a permissions issue. Possibility #1: The connections you have set up on your package require your authentication information, and they don't have it because they're running as the Agent account. You can fix that by creating a Proxy for your account and using that to run your job step. Possibility #2: The connections you have set up on your package are having their sensitive information stripped out due to the default encryption on the packages that prevents anyone but "you" from seeing it - including a SQL Agent job that isn't running "as you". The same resolution as above can help that (as well as others).
