Enable Integration Services on a remote server - sql-server

I am attempting to deploy an SSIS package on a remote SQL Server by following the following tutorial. My issue is that the Integration Services Catalogs folder is empty and when I try to create a catalogue, I get the following error:
The path to the catalog backup file could not be determined.
Integration Services might not be installed on this server, or the user may not have the appropriate access permissions
Is it even possible to achieve my goal on a remote server or do I absolutely need access to the machine on which it is running on?

Once SSIS is installed on the server, you can create the SSIS catalog and deploy SSIS projects to the catalog remotely.

SSIS Project Deployment with excel

I created an SSIS project with multiple packages. One of my package has a data flow task using Excel as data source. After deploying the project to SQL SSISDB, I can see the .dtsx files in SSMS. But where should the excel file reside? Should it still be in my local machine. The SQL resides on another server and not my local machine. Where is the deployed packages stored?
Can someone explain these?
Excel file
If the excel connection manager are pointing to a fixed path on your local machine. It will throw an error when executed from different server since the excel file path is not found.
You have to use dynamic excel connections to fix this issue, or to use an excel file on a shared network location (UNC path).
Package deployment
After deployment, the packages are stored within SSISDB database:

Error Execution Package SSIS from SQL Server Agent, but runs from catalog

I have an SSIS Package deployed in the Integration Service Catalogs of Sql Server 2014. When I run the package from the catalogs all works perfectly, the sql server session works with an authentication windows. I have created a job in Agent Sql Server to run this package, I am the owner of the job and I have admin rights on Sql Server, the step that runs the package is run as a service account SQL Server Agent. But when running the job it crashes with the following error:
Load FTP file Qc: Error: The directory is not specified in the User Connection Manager::DownloadDirectoryQc.
But it is beautiful and well otherwise it would not work catalog. Would anyone have a reason for what is causing this problem?
You may need to create a configuration file that the job can use to find connection manager information, such as the download directory path. This information may be available in your environment when you run from the catalog in SSMS, but isn't available to the job when it runs. Configuration files help with this problem. (Also, see discussion here).

Why does my SSIS package fail with filesystem permission error when run from the Integration Services Catalog

I have an SSIS package that accesses a folder on a network share.
If I run this package as part of a SQL Agent Job, it succeeds.
If I run this package directly from the SSIS Integration Catalog (Right Click and execute) on my development PC, it fails with a permission error .
If I run this package directly from the SSIS Integration Catalog (Right Click and execute) on the server hosting the SQL instance, it works.
All users's involved in this process have access to the folder (my username, the user setup to run the SSIS service and the SQL Agent service). I know this for sure because I can accsess the folders logged in under any of these users.
Any ideas why this would be?
What baffles me is that it works if you run it from the server hosting the SQL instance, but not from my local PC (when logged in under the same user)!
We've gotten to the point that when we want run certain packages that access the file system, we create an SQL agent job to run it. It's not ideal.
Adding the NETWORK SERVICE user account to the folder fixed the issue. I'm not entirely sure why as it runs under the context of the user executing the package, but it fixed the issue.
SQL Server Management Studio does not provide execute permission on Integration Service catalog using 'Sql server Authentication'. So, you can not execute any package from your machine.
you are able to run your package on the server machine because SQL server instance is installed on that particular machine and you are connecting SQL server by 'Windows Authentication'.
I hope this could help you!

How to retrieve saved SQL import task when Integration Services not installed

I've just inherited a 2008R2 instance with a few jobs (scheduled jobs that execute various ssis packages) which are failing.
I want to export the .dtsx packages concerned from MSDB so I can troubleshoot them in Visual Studio, however, I can't connect to integration services to get at them, because its not installed!
I'm also unable to use DTUTIL at command prompt, because I get an error that Integration Services is not installed!
User says these pacakges were created as import/export jobs and saved to SQL Server (not file system) which appears to be the case.
I can see the packages by querying the msdb.dbo.sysssispackages table.
First question, is how have these been saved to SQL Server MSDB when SSIS isn't even enabled?
Secondly, how can I get at those pesky dtsx files?
Thanks

Deploy SQL Server and my dataBase with oneClick setup

I'm asking if it's possible to deploy SQL Server and my database with oneClick setup.
I'm mean that I have to give to my client the setup file that contains my application and my database. The user should just have to click on the setup, and automatically install my application, SQL Server and deploy the database in one operation.
Is that possible?
Thanks but I
need alos to know how to deply te SQL SERVER 2008 runTime?
I mean after installing the application, I have to instal the SQL Server and then deploy the database
You can script all the objects in a database via the SSMS by right clicking on the db -> Tasks -> Generate Scripts -> Check Script All Objects in this database. Save the script to a .sql file and execute it against their SQL Server Instance.
Of course it is possible, your client just needs to provide SQL Server credentials during setup and your code can execute scripts during setup to create all the necessary database objects. If this doesn't fit your definition of "oneClick" than you would need to have this information ahead of time and include it in your installation but that would not be secure and it doesn't make much sense because you'd than have to create a unique setup for each client...
