How to create and SSIS Dashboard for SSIS packages monitoring - reporting-services

I am new to SSIS. I have created few packages in SSIS which basically insert data from SQL Server to Oracle DB. Can someone assist me in creating dashboard which shows me execution status of Packages.
For ex: When it was last executed, When is the next execution time, What was last execution status, How many packages succeeded or failed.
Thanks

you can use "Reporting with the SQL Server Integration Services Catalog". If you deploy your project to SQL-SERVER catalog and then execute your packages(by job agent or Ad hoc execution) then you can use the reports from the SSMS.
Steps to achieve this method:
Open integration services catalog.
Open projects.
Right-click on your solution - reports - standard reports - all executions.
For more information, you can enter this link
Reporting with the SQL Server Integration Services Catalog

there are also options outside the management studio.
For example you can create a dashboard in grafana (I use it like this), I share a repository with examples to create it.

There is also a development that can be mounted on docker, also very interesting.

Azure Data Factory: does Start Integration Runtime cost me?

I have several SSIS packages that I want to deploy and to run periodically. I am following this MS tutorial.
Somewhere near the end there's a command to start Integration runtime. I got a bit put off because it said it will take 20-30mins to complete. So my main question is: Will I get billed if I complete the start Integration runtime command but do not execute any SSIS package?
I read in Data Factory Pricing that
An inactive pipeline is charged at $0.40 per month
But I have had no experience with it yet and I want to be certain I am not wasting my dev allowance.
And if it really is (almost) free unless I do start executing packages, once I start the runtime, then am I supposed to just leave it running?
Also, I have searched online several times but didn't find any tutorial on how to create an integration runtime via portal. Is that really the case?
Lastly, I am trying to deploy these SSIS packages to a SQL Server that has nothing to do with either the source or destination SQL Server - both servers are owned by someone else. Is that fine?
Yes, you will be billed as the SSIS IR is started, regardless if you are executing the package or not. Currently, in ADF V2, Azure SSIS IR is a dedicated pool model, so that as long as your start the pool, it's dedicated for you to use only and it's running. The pricing for the Azure SSIS IR is listed under the section called "SQL Server Integration Services compute resource through Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime" on the ADF V2 pricing page.
if you do not want to be billed while not running packages, you need to stop the IR explicitly. thanks

unable to log execution of package BIDS 2012 (SSIS)

I have installed SSIS for VS2012 (SQL Server 2012) and I am able to create basic packages that run, however I am unable to get any of the logging to work. I have configured logging for text files and for the SQL Provider however, neither will log the execution of the package which is just a few SQL statements. I have configured all of the events to log in the details and in the advanced selections. The exec SQL tasks are in a Data Flow container, which I have also enabled logging.
When I look for the table msdb.dbo.sysssislog it is there but it is empty. If I configure the file writer, it will not create a file, which I specified to be in \windows\temp to avoid any permission problems.
If you deploy your packages to SSIS Catalog, you can have access to a better logging system that is offered by SSIS2012. You can Right-Click on your project under Integration Services Catalog and Report All Executions. This is highly recommended and makes your DBA's life much easier. you can learn more about how to set this up here.

Is there a way to find out which task is currently running in SSIS when running in SQL Server Agent job?

When I have to tell my boss how long it will take to finish the current SSIS package, I can get an estimate when the job is running in Visual Studio environment, but I'm totally blind when it's running using SQL Server Agent.
Is there any way to find out where the SSIS package is at a certain moment or which task is currently running at a certain moment?
Creating your own log tables recording the steps that you are interested in works well if you are using SQL 2008 R2 (or earlier).
SQL 2012 has created a logging framework for you that will tell a host of information including the completed control flow steps. Within SSMS, look under Integration Services Catalogs and find your package. Right click and look under the Reports tab to get a detailed breakdown of past and current SSIS executions
SQL 2014 shows running jobs in Service Catalog.

How to run SSIS package without SQL Server?

On this link 2nd workaround method suggests to try running SSIS package on computer that doesn't have SQL instance. How is that possible? Do I need to have installed VS 2008 Business Intelligence or it's possible even without it?
I found a link that may help you. Read this MSDN article.
This article has answers for your questions:
"You can install SQL Server Integration Services on a computer that has no previous instances of SQL Server."
"The Business Intelligence Development Tools (BIDS) option installs the Integration Services components required to design a package, but the Integration Services service is not installed and you cannot run packages outside of BI Development Studio."
Of couse the only install the latter is not enough to run arbitary packages.
The following may help you:
Install dtexec utility on the webserver or wherever your SSIS package resides. Regarding the minimum requirements please check this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162810.aspx
Create a .cmd/bat file that calls dtexec including all the needed parameters. Your webpage 's button or a scheduled job will trigger this .cmd or .bat file
Now, to stop a package in this setup, you can use a precedence constraint for example a file, you can check if the file exists before executing each next step in your SSIS package, this approach is discussed here: http://www.dotnetspider.com/forum/250123-Stop-SSIS-package-at-runtime.aspx. By the way to stop the package I thus suggest creating a second button.
You can install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) without installing SQL Server by itself, and then you can use integration services. Try this link:

SQl2005 SSIS DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW

Hi
I am trying to build an SSIS package to import text files to SQL data tables and then move the text files to a 'processed' file.
I can get the package to run successfully on my workstation in Visual Studio 2005 (although I got 'access denied' on the 'move' operation but I will worry about that later).
However, when I deploy to the SQL server, and execute the package on the server, I get DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW error on the import to SQL stage. I have checked the SSIS service is running on the server which it is.
The data upload is very simple - just the first column from the text file plus the file name in two columns, so none of the 'smart' stuff that might not be installed.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Possible Causes
This message might appear because of one of the following problems:
You have installed BI Development Studio but you have not installed Integration Services. Running packages outside Business Intelligence Development Studio requires the installation of Integration Services.
Your package may be attempting to use advanced components for Analysis Services, data mining, or text mining that are available only in SQL Server Enterprise.
In the unlikely case you are using SQL Server 2005 without any service packs, there was a problem with running the Import-/Export Data Wizard. This problem was solved beginning with SP1.
A great collection of tips are in this blog post:

Update:
To find out, what SQL Server Version you are running, execute the following query on your server:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
The second column of the result tells you the service pack level.
