I have VS 2013 installed with Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013.
I need to write a SSIS package to be run on SQL Server 2008 R2
Per Analysis Services & PowerPivot Blog
this is not officially supported.
Anyone know of a workaround to leverage VS 2013 and it's tool set. I really thought I was done having to keep four generations of development tools on my machine... holding out hope here.
No it is not possible. SSIS only allows a specific version of the visual studio tools (BIDS/SSDT) to work for each version of SQL Server. Each version only creates one specific SSIS Package Version.
See link here explaining.
https://sqlstudies.com/2015/04/27/what-sql-version-is-my-ssis-package/
The newest version, SSDT/Visual Studio 2015 has added backwards compatibility for SSIS finally, but only back to SQL Server 2012.
See info here in link here.

so it will not solve your problem with SQL Server 2008 R2 sorry :-(

I am trying to connect to a SQL server 2008 SSIS package from my computer. I am using visual studio 2012. When I try to add an existing packaged, I get the error in the link below.
What do I need to install for this to be compatible?
To edit 2008 packages you need BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio).
BIDS runs within Visual Studio 2008. Later updates to Visual Studio do not support older versions of SSIS.
BIDS was replaced by SSDT-BI (SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence). The current version of SSDT-BI is the first to offer backwards compatibility with SSIS (although it only supports SSIS 2012, 2014 and 2016, not 2008 or 2008 R2).
Microsoft has published this handy document. It details which development environment you should use for each version of SQL Server.
I want to start devleoping SSIS packages. I want to do this in Visual Studio Business Intelligence Integration Services developer.
It looks like Business intelligence is only available for Visual Studio 2013 at the latest. I currently have Visual Studio 2015 Community.
I have SQL Server 2014 and SQL server 2014 Management studio installed. In order to get SSIS packages will I have to install SQL Server data tools 2014?
After that will have I to install Visual Studio 2013 Community and Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013?
Is this all I need to create an SSIS Business Intelligence Project in Visual Studio?
SSDT comes wrapped with sql server editions but SSIS and SSAS aren't included with express editions (SSRS is). Developer edition might be appropriate for you.
The installation process will ask you what you want to install.I have never been able to get any of the editions to "work" with WIN home editions - professional or above, fine. When choosing a version of an edition simple rule of thumb is biggest for best for your architecture. For a presentation layer I would also get the excel add ins Power query and power pivot (if you have excel) and if you are thinking of getting to grips with dashboarding have a look at Power BI, Tableau, Qlikview all of which are free or have community editions.
Recently upgraded to SQL server 2014 from SQL 2008 R2 and SQL server object explorer in Visual Studio 2010 professional is no longer recognising my 2014 database.
When trying to add a database I get this error
"Incompatible SQL Server version found"
MSDN blog about SSDT
I tried installing SSDT 2014 for VS 2012 hoping that VS 2010 problem will get some how resolved, but not to avail.
The normal server explorer is able to connect to the SQL2014 instance, but there are a lot of stored procedures and the interface is a bit slow.
The blog suggests to upgrade to VS 2012 or later version.
But is there any way to stay in VS 2010 and access SQL 2014 with SQL server object explorer.
Short answer: I think you will need to switch to a newer version of Visual Studio
Long answer:
This announcement promotes an update for VS 2012 & 2013 for a new version of SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) compatible with SQL Server 2014: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/archive/2014/03/25/sql-server-data-tools-for-sql-server-2014-is-available.aspx
This link states that with the release of VS 2013, they will no longer be updating VS 2010: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/archive/2014/01/30/ssdt-and-visual-studio-versions.aspx
From those MSDN links, my conclusion is that you'll need to get a newer version in order for SQL Server 2014 to play nicely with Visual Studio (I would love to be contradicted on this though!).
I have a question for someone out there who has Visual Studio 2013 - SSDT installed... I know that we cannot deploy SSIS packages to a SQL Server version less than 2014, what about SSRS reports? Everyone on my team except the database guys have been using VS2013 for some time now. I want to upgrade too!!! If I convinced the business to upgrade the SSIS servers to 2014, we would still need to support SSRS reports in 2008R2 (because of SharePoint 2010). Arggg... Leave it to Microsoft to leave the database developers behind (again). A new version of Visual Studio is out for preview and I don't want to be two versions behind.
Can someone please check to see if you can deploy an SSRS report to a 2008 R2 server using Visual Studio 2013? I know it's a long shot. Otherwise, I'll have to go through the massive 2013 install just to have my dreams crushed when it doesn't work out..
Thanks All!
SSDT-BI 2014 for VS 2013 can support SSRS 2008 R2. It just can't support SSIS 2008R2. Please see the blog below:

Short question, I hope the answer is will be also short.
I'm a starting BI developer and we make a lot of use of Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Server Data tools (SSDT, previously BIDS). SSDT is a Visual Studio shell with components catered towards BI-centric solutions. I've always installed SSDT from a SQL Server installation.
I'm now doing a Visual Studio 2012 installation and notice an option to install SSDT. A quick search on Google only yielded a difference that SQL Server 2012 installs Visual Studio 2010 shell instead of 2012. Is there any other difference in installing SSDT from SQL Server or from Visual Studio?
Any and all help is welcome.

Server and SQL Server Data tools (SSDT, previously BIDS).
Ah. No. SSDT and BIDS are not the same. SSDT are a plugin into visual studio for SQL Server development, adding mostly the SQL Server Database Project which allows versioning and development of sql code in visual studio (as in: Stored procedures, table schemata etc.). BIDS is the visual studio version for - Analytics service, Integration Services and Reporting Services.
And SQL Server BIDS is most of the time built on an older version - for the 2012 Shell IIRC you need the 2014 server..... and the concurrent modern version of VS is 2013.
BIDS is NOT SSDT.
