I want to execute an SSIS package stored on an SQL server (2008 R2) from another computer. However, everything I've found online involves loading the package from the server and then running it locally.
Is it possible to run the package on the server? Any resources are appreciated.
To execute a package, you normally create a new job and use a job step to start the desired package.
If you got the sql server management studio(ssms) installed on your remote computer, you simply connect to the database engine and start the job. Alternativly, you can connect to the integration services with ssms and start the package directly.
If there is no ssms available, you can start the job using the stored procedure sp_start_job. You could use something like this to execute.
You could execute the stored procedure sp_start_job in the remote server. I've used it (creating a stored procedure to control a bit the parameterisation) succesfully.

The situation is that I have two DB servers with SQL Server, I need to transfer the data from Server A to Server B automatically every night.
So according to sql server data transfer from one server to another server, I created an SSIS project. And it manage to transfer data with good performance. But the question is, how do I export the project into SSIS package and run it every night?
I assume you are still running it from Visual Studio. To schedule it daily you will need to do the below,
Deploy your project to a SQL Server
Create an Agent job and schedule it.
Found a good article, sharing that with you here.

You can either store the package as in the file system or in the SSIS catalog. I would say that storing it in the SSIS catalog is the best way to go here.
Before you deploy your package to the SSIS catalog you need to make sure that integration services is installed on your server as well as that the SSIS catalog has been created.
How to create ssis catalog
If all above is OK then proceed and deploy your package and create an agent job. Please notice that you need to set up permissions for the sql agent account so it can access your databases.
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
I am learning to work with the SSIS packages.
I have made an SSIS package to work with the delta data(changed data since last run).
But i am having troubles running the package outside the development enviroment
I have tried to runt it with DTEXECUI.EXE utilty but it gives me the following error.
I have also tried to run it from a stored procedure by enabling the xp_cmdshell but i still get some error like this.
Please help, i am also trying to Google my way through.
It's clear from the error messages To run a ssis package outside of sql server data tools you must...
SSIS 2012 components have to be installed on your server to resolve the issue.
As per this post:
What you need are the base SQL Server binaries which are installed
with the DB engine. So you need a SQL Server Instance of some flavour
to have dtexec running. Whether it's the DB Engine or the SSIS service
installed but disabled.
Running packages in BIDS is a special case. Run the package on the
same PC as BIDS via dtexec and it will fail unless you have installed
server components (= a SQL Server Instance)
i'm using Sql Server 2008. There are options to run from command line. Is there a way to execute an ssis package using sql statement?

Im my experience one of the easiest way to control them from within SQL is not to try an xp_cmdshell etc but to add a job that executes the SSIS package as the first step and then from within the SQL msdb.dbo.sp_start_job 'yourjobname'
This also makes it easy to control which account (via proxy / credential) the job gets run under.
I have a SSIS package that is stored in a SQL Server 2005 DB. I am trying to execute this package from a stored procedure on the same server. Is there a better way than exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL...
I am running into (I think) file system permission issues with xp_cmdshell that is preventing execution
I don't think so, here are two good articles:
http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/sql-server-2005/executing-ssis-packages-/
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/Call_SSIS_from_SP.aspx
I recommend using Agent instead:
Create Agent proxy account for the account that will run the job
Create Agent job that runs this package
Make it use the proxy account created in #1
Test the job
In SQL code, use sp_start_job to start this job
The downside is that you can't easily pass the parameters from SQL to the package this way.
Since 2012, MSSQL has an SSIS Catalog, where you can park your packages there. You can then execute a package with parameters. This way we can avoid xp_cmdshell to call dtexec, or sp_start_job without parameters. Key SPs: create_execution, set_execution_parameter_value, and start_execution.
