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.

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 use SSIS 2012 and want to set the value True to CreateDeploymentUtility option. The package contain an Execute SQL Task that insert a value into a sql table.
I search for this Option in : Solution Explorer -> Properties -> Deployment Utilities but i don't found it. There I have only 'Server Name' and 'Server Project Path' options.
How can I set True for CreateDeploymentUtility option?
Please help me!!
Thanks!!!
There are two different deployment models available to you with the 2012 release of SSIS. The new model, called project deployment model, treats all of your SSIS packages as class files that get "compiled" into a .ispac file, much as .net files get turned into an assembly. This .ispac file then gets deployed into the database into a dedicated catalog, SSISDB. Very cool stuff and by default when you create a project in SSIS 2012, this is the model it will use.
The second deployment model, the classic one familiar to SSIS developers from 2005 on is called the package deployment model. Right click on the SSIS project and you will have an option for converting from project deployment to package deployment.
Note that there are incompatible features between the two. Project level Connection Managers are only available in the Project Deployment Model and the last time I tried to convert a project from package to project deployment model, it switched the configuration to package and project parameters.
I am using the following command to build package and deploy site on remote server using teamcity msbuild
/M /P:Configuration=%env.Configuration% /P:DeployOnBuild=True /P:DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish /P:MsDeployServiceUrl=%env.TargetServer%/MsDeployAgentService /P:DeployiisAppPath=%env.IISPath% /P:MSDeployPublishMethod=RemoteAgent /P:CreatePackageOnPublish=True /P:Username=%env.username% /P:Password=%env.password%
But I want to take a backup of that site to a particular directory. Tried doing this using batch file to compress and take a backup but it is a too much time consuming as it will run on a remote machine. I am looking for a solution that I can use using msbuild or any other that is efficient.
Have you checked this document?
http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-web-deploy/web-deploy-automatic-backups
It says that a backup is automatically created if it is enabled on the server (and then explains how to set it up)
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 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.
