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.

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.
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.
We've been working to get some SSIS packages deployed to our SSISDB catalog in the sql server. After fixing umpteen issues with permission in proxy accounts the latest issue is this;
After deploying the project to the SSISDB (SQL Server 2012) then either updating the existing SQL Agent job to use the deployed SSIS package OR deleting it and creating a fresh agent job, the sql agent is detecting a connection manager to the dev SQL Server that I deleted from the package. This is causing a failure when the job runs with some sort of permissions issue however the connection manager doesn't exist in the package. I even checked the XML code for the connection managers and there is nothing in there for the one I deleted.
I can't understand how the SQL agent is detecting a connection manager in the configuration tab of the job step when that connection manager isn't visible in the package dev files anywhere.
I've deleted and re-deployed the project after saving it in Visual Studio again and again.
Is there some deep, hidden setting somewhere that contains more connection data? It feels like the problem lies more with SSMS than SSIS but at this point I'm lost!
You haven't given enough information for me to tell you WHY that connection manager is showing up, but I can tell you what you can do about it.
You can script DROP and CREATE JOB scripts in SSMS by right-clicking the job in the object explorer. In the CREATE JOB script, find the connection manager that you don't want any more, remove it from the script, and then run the scripts.
Just started to work on a SSIS ETL package at work and I am sort of stuck thinking how to solve this problem and how others solved it. Since I am fair new to SSIS, I must ask the experts here. So I am creating a SSIS ETL package which I create source and destination connection (mostly relational databases) in a development environment, which means the source and destination connections are to development databases. Everything works out fine. The problem is when I complete the SSIS package, build it, create the manifest and deployed, then I realize the package will fail, because I have deployed the package in the production environment, which means the source and destination connection are to production databases, in production environment.
So my questions is how do I create a ssis ETL package in the development phase or development environment using development source and destination connections be able to deploy a package into a different environment where the source and destination connection are different?
I am using sql server 2012 with BIDS 2012, Data Tools 2012.
You can make the package connection configurable.
select "SSIS">> Pacakage Configuration >> navigate to connection >> select servername and database name
Click next
Save pacakge configuration to dtsconfig file.
During deployment modify this dtsconfig file and specify.
once you have deployed your package navigate to Integration Services Catalog -> SSISDB -> your SSIS Project.
Once there open up the desired package and under [Connections] tab you can change the connection.
Alternative to this (method 2) is to create Environments; where you can quickly change between dev, qa, prod by checking towards the bottom which environment you wish SSIS to pick up config from.
