-------------------------------------

Starting with SQL Server, Integration Services (SSIS) packages can now is deployed to a single source for managing ex Ecution in multiple environments. The SSIS Catalog is a single database container for all deployed packages. The configuration files is replaced with environments. Deployed versions is tracked historically and a package can is reverted to a previous deployment. On top of the these features, internal reports with a dashboard if debugging errors or examining performance over time.

To use this feature, the SSIS Catalog must is created. The System Administrator of the SQL Server instance needs to create the Catalog or a user with elevated permissions for CR Eating databases. Figure 1 shows the menu after right-clicking on the integration Services Catalog folder in SQL Server Management Studio (S SMS).

The Create catalog ... MEU option would launch the Create catalog window. Some configuration takes place during its creation. CLR integration would need to is enabled on the this instance. On SQL Server Startup, the automatic execution of the SSIS stored procedure (s) can is enabled or not. The most important-provide a strong password for the management of this new database container.

When the configuration was complete, a new database was created on this instance:ssisdb. The database needs the same maintenance as any and production database on this system. Maintenance items include backups, index rebuild/reorganize and update statistics. The recovery mode of the database inherits the properties from the Model database just like all new databases. Simple recovery mode was adequate for SSISDB because of the infrequent deployments.

Figure 3:ssis Catalog Projects Deployed

A user does not need to is a SysAdmin to deploy projects (and packages) to the Catalog. There is a database Role named Ssis_admin in the SSISDB database. This role contains the permissions-to-deploy projects from Visual Studio. A Developer ' s Active Directory account, or an ad group can is added to this role.

Deploying SSIS projects, along with the project's package (s), is added in SQL Server-as well as the SSIS Catalog. This organization of packages in a SSIS Project enables objects, properties and values to being shared among the packages in A project. Figure 5 shows the Project.param file associated with a SSIS project.

Figure 5:project Parameters

This project has multiple packages. The source Database and source Server are shared with packages like DimProduct and dimcategory. The connection is created under, the connection Manager in the Project's solution as seen in Figure 6. Not only can the packages can share parameter values, it also shares these database connections. This example contains staging, source and destination databases. The prefix (project) is added to the package Connection Managers ' connections as seen in Figure 6 under the objects of the Package.

In this environment, the development team uses a separate server as the testing team and production system. The use of Project Parameter enables a is effect multiple packages in the project. To deploy the project to the SSIS Catalog, right-click the project in the Solution Explorer of Visual Studio.

Figure 7:deploy Project and Packages

The integration Services Deployment Wizard would show a welcome screen. You can disable this screens for the future deployments. The Select Source would default to the project selected while in Visual Studio. The wizard first brings the Select Destination page, but you can use the Back button to go to the select Source Pag E. The Source Selection can changed, but usually the Deployment Wizard was launched from the project being deployed. Figure 8 shows the Select Destination screens where the Server Name and Path in the SSIS Catalog is selected.

The Server name is the instance the Catalog was created. The path can be a existing one or a New path can created. The same path can be used for different projects. All project packages is together under the project in the Path.

The Review screen gives the options to view the selected source and destination. Once the Deploy button is selected on the Review screens, the Results screen would show the success list or an indication of What failed during deployment.

A package can is launched in several ways. In SQL Server Management Server (SSMS), the Integration Services Catalog folder can is expanded to see the Paths created I n the Catalog. Figure Ten shows the menu from right-clicking the package dimcategory in the SSIS Catalog.

Figure 10:executing A package from SSIS Catalog

After selecting Execute ... from the menu, the execution prompts for Parameters, Connection Managers and advanced options. Figure One Show the Parameters that can being changed before the Dimcategory package is executed. This is where we can change the server or database names for the Project Parameters before the package is executed.

One of the cool features of the SSIS Catalog is free reports. Figure shows the execution report, can be displayed after launching the package. There is a prompt to view or not view the report. There is and additional links to drill down into Messages and performance. Individual Tasks can drilled into to show messages from different steps of the.

Figure 12:report Overview of the package execution

If There is an error, the messages was the best place-to-start to debug a package. To see the performance of the "This" over time, click on the View performance drill down.

There is a main Dashboard so can be used to see a overview of all packages running from the Catalog. This dashboard are launched from SSMS by right-clicking on the SSISDB folder under the integration Services Catalog. Figure shows the "path to the" report.

Figure 13:launching the integration Services Dashboard

Figure shows for today's one package had executed successfully and another has failed.

Figure 14:integration Services Dashboard

By clicking in the Failed number, the next report gives the ability-to-drill into the Messages-returned from the success a nd fail steps of the package as in Figure 15

Figure 15:failed Package Messages Report

As can see, the SSIS Catalog have a wealth of information and management for SSIS projects and packages. The reports and drill down capabilities help with debugging problems before opening the package in Visual Studio. Performance reports can give an idea if a package was taking longer to run in the last execution than previous executions. History can being configured and is explained more in the side note at the end of this article. The Catalog is a great place-to-store and manage SSIS package deployment and execution.

Side Note

Other configuration options is available by going to the properties of the integration Services Catalog from SSMS. Clean Logs periodically can is set to TRUE or false. This enables or disables a SQL Server Agent Job, which is the run on a scheduled time. Retention Period (days) indicates to the job how long to keep history of the execution of the packages.

The descriptions of the Server-wide Default Logging level options can is seen at the following link:enable Logging for Pa Ckage execution on the SSIS Server. The Maximum number of Version per project indicates how many deployments would be saved to the catalog of a project. Purging these versions can be controlled by the property periodically Remove old versions.
