I have an SSIS package named Extract.dtsx. I want to deploy it to the file system in F:\SQL2005\MSSQL\Package\Extract.
The Package Instllation Wizard does this simply. I only have to choose "File system deployment" and choose the path, then click next a few times and finish. I'm having trouble figuring out if I can do the same this using DTUTIL.
Does anybody know if this is possible?
Yes, it's possible. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.
If you have an SSIS package C:\temp\Extract.dtsx, you can deploy it to the file system in F:\SQL2005\MSSQL\Package\Extract using these commands:
c:\temp\md F:\sql2005\mssql\package\Extract
c:\temp\dtutil /file Extract.dtsx /Copy FILE;F:\sql2005\mssql\package\Extract\Extract.dtsx
The destination folder must already exist.
You can see the package in SQL Enterprise Manager by connecting to SSIS on the server, open Stored Packages > SSIS Application Packages > Extract.

I am working as part of a wider team, on an SSIS package. We use TFS for collaboration, and the package has links to .sql files amongst other things.
When I run the package manually, the package runs without any issues, as the connection manager references my directory. When someone else tries to execute the package, they get an error message "Could not find a part of the path ......... script.sql"
Is there a way to correctly reference the TFS location, so it works for everyone, or is there some other way to reference these files in SSIS, so they work for everyone in the team?
Thank you
I'm trying to use VSTS to deploy into my database, the problem is in one of the steps I need to pick up the dacpac file and deploy it to the Azure SQL server but it fails:
in that step, I'm using "Execute Azure SQL: DacpacTask" which is provided by Microsoft in VSTS.
there is a filed to do it which is called "DACPAC File" and the documentation said to use it like this:
$(agent.releaseDirectory)\AdventureWorksLT.dacpac
but it gave me the below error:
No files were found to deploy with search pattern
d:\a\1\s\$(agent.releaseDirectory)\AdventureWorksLT.dacpac
so I did a cheating and put the below value in it:
d:\a\1\s\AdventureWorksLT.dacpac
it does work but obviously, it won't work forever as I need to use an environment variable, something like :
$(agent.releaseDirectory)\AdventureWorksLT.dacpac
any suggestion?
I've had this same problem. I wasn't able to find detailed documentation, but from experimenting, this is what I found.
I'm assuming that your DACPAC is created as part of a Build Solution task. After the build completes and the DACPAC is created, it exists in a sub-folder of the $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) directory.
Apparently, the Azure SQL Database Deployment task cannot access the $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) folder. So the file must be copied somewhere where it can be accessed. So here's what I did:
The Visual Studio Build task builds the solution, including the DACPAC. The resulting DACPAC is placed in a $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) sub-folder.
Add a Copy Files task as your next step. The Source Folder property should be "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)". The Contents property should be "**/YourDacPacFilename.dacpac". The Target folder should be $(build.artifactstagingdirectory). The "**/" tells VSTS to search all subfolders for matching file(s).
Add an Azure SQL Database Deployment task to deploy the actual DACPAC. The DACPAC file will be in the $(build.artifactstagingdirectory).
I had the same problem and I solved it by removing the old artifact from the release and adding it again to take the correct alias of the new artifact.
That's why the Azure SQL Database Deployment task says it doesn't have access to the $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) folder, the artifact has changed and you must make sure you're using the new one that is saved in the azure pipeline.
I have a deployed SSIS package, with a schedule and everything. Now, I have made changes to this package. Do I have to re-deploy it, and setup the schedule for it again, or is there a way for an already deployed SSIS package to be updated with the latest build?
Yes, you need to redeploy the package(s) to whatever location the scheduler expects to find the package(s).
You do not, however, need to recreate the job, configurations or any of that jazz, simply perform an in-place replacement of the dtsx package. If you stored it to the file system, copy the new version over it. If you stored it in SQL Server, use the command-line to replace it (approximately dtutil /file PkgName.dtsx /destserver thatdatabase /copy SQL;PkgName) or use the ssismanifest to deploy packages or my current favourite, use PowerShell for SSIS deployment and maintenance
I have a SSIS master package, which executes several child packages. It works great, but when I deploy it to the file system on the server, I get an error code "0xC00220DE". "The system cannot find the file specified."
When I run the package on the server by double-clicking it, it works correctly. But when I use DTExec:
dtexec /FILE "d:\cmcdx\ssis\MAESTRO_FACTURACION.dtsx"
I get the mentioned error.
The package configuration is correct, and the user I'm executing the package with is administrator of the machine.
Should I deploy the packages to Sql Server? What are the best practices for deploying a master-child package? I'm running out of ideas here...
By the way, I'm running Sql Server 2005 sp3.
Solved it.
I was using relative paths to point to the child packages, and in runtime SSIS was unable to find them.
In the end I used a specific path, set in a configuration file. Then I used the deployment utility, copied everything to the server, run it by double clicking on the SSISDeploymentManifest file and changed the paths to the proper location.
Thank James and Justin for your answers.
Is the package not getting a path or location value from a package configuration file? If so make sure you include the /ConfigFile argument and the path to the config file. Another thing to possibly check is if you have any connections in the package that refer to mapped network drives, these may not work running under the different service account than your local console account.
[Edit]
Try this command line below on the server (notice the double slashes).
dtexec /FILE "d:\\cmcdx\\ssis\\MAESTRO_FACTURACION.dtsx"
There are several things that could be going wrong here. You mention that you're using a master package to run several child packages. Are all of your child packages in their proper location on the server as well?
Remember that the paths to the child packages should be variables in your master package so that those values can be changed through a configuration file on the server if need be.

These tutorials explain how to properly enable package configurations on the server when your package runs.
I am deploying my SSIS packages to MSDB by configuring the deployment utility and creating the manifest file in Visual Studio (2005).
In the Integration Services, I created a new folder to segregate my packages. Is there a way to specify this folder for my packages when creating the deployment utility?
If not, how do I move packages into the new folder once they're installed?
Thank you
I don't think it's possible to change the target folder in the deployment utility, as it can be used for both MSDB and file system deployments. It would be something you specified in the deployment wizard after selecting a SQL Server deployment - but the option isn't presented.
Once deployed, you can move packages around using the dtutil.exe utility, using the /move subcommand
dtutil /Sources *serverName* /SQL *packageName* /move SQL;*folderName\packageName*
As you can also use it to copy packages between the file system and MSDB storage, DTutil offers an alternative method of deploying files in the first place.
