How to create a ssis project - sql-server

I want to use ssis to transfer database. I installed sql server 2017 developer version. After installation, I could not found SQL Server Data Tools under the SQL Server 2017. Then I installed the SSDT for my visual studio 2017. I could not found the Integration Services Project in the File -> New -> Project.
Maybe when I installed the VS, I didn't pick Business Intelligence as the default setting.
So how can I create a SSIS and make a ETL package? I don't mind do it through VS or SQL server.

Open SQL Server Data Tools > New > Project. Then in New Project box, choose Business Intelligence from the Templates. There you can see the Integration Services Project. Select it and create the project.

VS 2017 Cannot deploy SSIS SQL Server 2012

Running Visual Studio 2017 with latest patches and SQL Server Data Tools installed. Created a new Integration Services project, target server version is SQL Server 2012. Added an existing SSIS package from a SQL Server 2012, made a small edit a task, and saved. When I try to deploy via package model, I get this error:
Storing or modifying packages in SQL Server requires the SSIS runtime and database to be the same version. Storing packages in earlier versions is not supported.
Since both the project and target server are both SQL Server 2012, I'm stumped on where the version discrepancy lies.
Previously I was able to download, edit, and re-save the package in VS 2010, so it seems to be something particular to Visual Studio 2017. Any ideas?
Edit: I also tried creating a new package in the project with nothing in it and it has the same error, so it's definitely something with VS 2017 and not code related.
In the property pages for an Integration Services project, on the General tab of Configuration Properties, select the TargetServerVersion property and choose SQL SQL Server 2012 and deploy it.

Integration services project Templates missing in VS 2015

I am trying to create Integration services project in VS 2015. i Installed the SQL Server Data Tools for VS 2015. i also installed SQL Server 2016.
I still dont see the templates.
can anyone please help.
The current release of SQL Server Data tools for VS 2015 doesn't include the BI templates that you need for integration services etc, what you need to install is Microsoft's pre-release SSDT RC0 version, which now finally includes the SQL server database projects and the BI templates, finally it will all be in one place:
Download SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)
Make sure you download the release from the link "Download the Latest SSDT Preview for Visual Studio 2015"

installing SSIS feature in SQL Server

Does SQL Server 2008 Express support Integration Services? When I try to create an Integration Services project, it says that I have to install Integration Services, but I cannot find the option in the setup for the installation. How can I install it?
Is there any service pack for this?
The SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services version does have SSIS in the box. If you've not installed that exact version, then you'll need to get the right version to have SSIS.
In order to develop SSIS packages, you need to have features enabled in Visual Studio. For Visual Studio 2010 and higher, those features are packaged in the SQL Server Data Tools that can be downloaded and installed .

can I use SSDT/BIDS/SSIS using SQL Server 2012 express?

Ideally, I want to make SSDT/SSIS packages on my desktop PC that I can test and deploy to a production server environment.
On my PC I have:
Windows 7
Visual Studio 2008
Visual Studio 2010 (shell)
SQL Server Express 2012 (local dev copy of prod)
[supposedly] BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) and SSDT (SQL SErver Data Tools) etc.
On my production server I have:
Windows Server 2008
SQL Server 2012
Visual Studio 2010 (shell)
I cannot load/run SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) onto my machine because SQL Server express doesn't allow for it, as suggested by these articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=963070
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx#SSIS
And I am getting this error when trying to look at a "package.dtsx" file in VS:
Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document: To design
Integration Services packages in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). SSDT
has to be installed by one of these editions of SQL Server 2012:
Standard. Enterprise. Developer, or Evaluation. To install SSDT, run
SQL Server Setup and select SQL Server Data Tools.
When I run the SQL2012Express installer, it says SSDT is installed already.
Question #1: But why can't I just point a local VS2010/SSDT/SQL2012Express at my production SQL2012 environment? (Microsoft is getting their money legitimately!)
Question #2: I can get it to work on the production server, but isn't it bad form to develop on a production server? (and it complicates source control etc.)
You must have One of those versions installed. The SQL server express edition with advanced tools only includes reporting. Not ssis. Sql serverv dev edition is actually pretty cheap.
To be able to create SSIS packages you'd want the following:
1) For SQLServer 2008 SSIS packages - BIDS, either integrated into VS2010 or as a stand-alone. If you also want SQL server, then I'd use the dev edition of SQLServer that is an optional install with VS2010.
2) For SQLServer 2012 SSIS packages - download and install SSDT, either integrated into VS2012 as as a stand-alone. If you also want SQL server, then I'd use localDB (here).
Also, SSDT is two things - an improved replacement for 'Data Dude' AND the new BIDS - here's a blog with explanation.
"Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 does not support Business Intelligence Development Studio Integration Services, Report Services and Analysis Services projects for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2. To work around this issue, you can install Visual Studio 2008 alongside Visual Studio 2010 on the same machine and then open the Business Intelligence Development Studio projects in Visual Studio 2008."

Guess this means: NO BIDS projects are possible under VS 2010.

SQL Server Reporting Services Basics

This project I'm working on has me using SQL Server 2008 R2 which I'm pretty new to. I have the full version of SQL Server and, SSIS, SSAS etc. What I don't know anything about is reporting services. I can connect to the report server but I don't see anyway to actually build reports. This is all in management studio, by the way. Is there a GUI interface for building reports? I have to assume that this software is distinct from SSMS?
You have to install BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio). It's in your SQL Server setup. Maybe you already did, have a look in your Visual Studio directory in your start menu.
yes its possible to install that way.
Business Intelligence Development Studio is a must to USE SSIS feature.
