My issue pertains specifically to SSIS packages saved to "SQL Server" through the Import and Export Wizard in SQL Server Management Studio. When a package is saved to "SQL Server" instead of "File System", it does not save to the Integration Services Catalog. My question is, how do you access those packages for editing or viewing.
I.E., I want to make a minor adjustment to an SSIS package stored in SQL Server, but I do not recall all the changes and options I made when initially setting it up (so I cannot simply recreate it). Additionally, I'd like to delete old test versions of the package.
As per the Wizard documentation:
The wizard saves the package in the msdb database in the sysssispackages table. This option does not save the package to the SSIS Catalog database (SSISDB).
Removing records from this table will remove the package.
You can open the package to edit it with SQL Server Data Tools. Create a new SSIS project, and then in the Solution Explorer pane, right-click on the SSIS Packages folder icon and choose Add existing package....
In the next dialog, you'd choose "SQL Server" as the package location, put in your server address and login credentials, and then for "Package Path" click on the three dots and it will let you browse to the package. Hit "OK" and your package will then be loaded into SSDT.

I have an SSIS package that I am looking to save to a SQL Server database. In prior versions of Visual Studio, I had no issue doing this. I would go to:
File -> Save copy of package as
and it would give me the option to either save the package on the file system or to a SQL Server database.
Now the only option I get is to save to the file system.
How can I save to the SQL Server database again?
"Save Copy of Package as..." is only available if the SSIS Project is using the Package Deployment Model. By default, new project's use the Project Deployment Model.
To convert, right click on the Project and select "Convert to Package Deployment Model"
Microsoft SQL Server 2016. I've done an export of a table (using the wizard) I saved the package and I see it in the msdb.sysssispackages table. But it doesn't show up in the Integration Services Catalogue section. So how can I make it show up so I can execute this package again?
If you're executing it through SQL Agent, the Package Source is SQL Server for packages stored in the msdb
A confusing bit of terminology that I started to respond with on your deleted question is that you can store a package in SQL Server and that usually means the msdb.dbo.sysssispackages table. But we also have the project deployment model, which deploys an .ispac file into the SSISDB.
If you want a package to be in the SSISDB that is not of the project deployment model, the 2016(?) release of SSIS allowed for an Incremental package deployment for a project deployment model. You could use that approach to uplift your msdb based SSIS package into a new "project" without ever opening Visual Studio to create an actual solution.
That's a technical answer, it can be done that way but I would advise against it as you generally want to source control any processes that you operationalize.
I want to backup SSIS package that already deploy. First I login to SQL Server Management Studio. Then click Integration Services Catalog then click SSISDB then right click on name project, then click export. After finished, there is no sln file. How to fix this problem?
If you truely are trying to "BACKUP" SSIS packages, then you should only backup the following two things:
Backup SSISDB database just like any other database
Backup the Master encryption key for SSISDB.(Also keep save the password for SSISDB Master Encryption Key somewhere safe, you do need this while restoring SSIS Catalog)
You will need these two things to restore the SSISDB database.
Alternatively, if you are just trying to download SSIS packages from SSISDB, that have been already deployed, then you need to open Visual Studio, and create an SSIS project using template "Integration Services Import Project Wizard", this will allow you to connect to a server and download SSIS projects from SSISDB.
I have an one data transfer package with .DTSX extension.
I want to edit that package.
Please help me.
DTS was the old extension name used for Integration Services packages.
DTSX is new (I guess my new! refers to SQL2005)
With recent releases SQL Server introduced SQL Server Data Tools which is very similar to Visual Studio but concentrated on SQL Server tasks.
SQL Server Business Intelligence developers can use SQL Server Data Tools for creating and editing Analysis Services, Integration Services and Reporting Services solutions
Here is a download link
Follow the following steps:
Open BIDS or SSDT (it depends which version of sql server development tool you have installed)
Create a new Sql Server Integration Project
copy the .dtsx package by pressing Ctrl + c and go back to the newly created project , you will see the portion "Package" in Solution Explorer , Paste your copied package here by selecting the "Package" header.
double click to this copied package, you can now edit your package.
I was wondering how I would be able to get an SSIS package from a SQL Server that has already been deployed and move it to another SQL Server?
NOTE: I do not have the original package project to just install it on the other server.
It depends on how the package has been deployed. If it's in MSDB, you can right-click the package in SSMS and choose Export Package. You can save it locally as file and the deploy that to another server. If it's on the file system, you can just copy the .dtsx file.
Bear in mind that any hard coded connections may not be able to be changed, unless you can load the package in BIDS.
Do the following:
Connect to the new server SSIS through SSMS.
Open Stored Packages and right click MSDB.
Select "Import Package...", set the Server to the source instance (MSDB where the package resides).
Click button for "Package path:" and select the package from the list.
Set the "Protection level" if applicable or leave the default.
Click OK.
You will now have the package transferred to the second server and saved in MSDB. It is not certain that the SSIS package will work without modifications as mentioned by previous post.
