I am upgrading SSIS packages created and running in 2008R2 to 2016 version.
Facing various issue where ever there is a script task inside a package.
Can anyone help me with any generic way to upgrade script tasks like upgrading assemblies or libraries in it ?
or
Do I have to pitch into each script and make changes individually inside ?
Tried upgrading the assemblies in one of the script task, the cross sign dissappeared however, there were still some errors in the script related to few classes.

I have created several packages in Visual Studio 2017 (SSDT) SSIS solution, they are showing target server 2017. This was on my development PC. Now, upon completion of it, I am into a challenge. The Server on which, I am moving my packages, is having Visual Studio 2008.
I can understand that downgrading may not be right away possible, but I will still be happy if I can find a way to minimize my work (i can accept package by package or so). Please note I am accessing the other server on the Remote and not able to use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste package objects, so if I don't get some easy ways then have to almost write the whole package again.
Thanks for your support.
Install BimlExpress in your Visual Studio 2017 environment. Once installed, you should be able to right click on the package and with your new BimlExpress options, select Convert SSIS Packages to Biml
In the Miscellaneous section of you SSIS project, you should have a BimlScript.biml file. That is the Biml representation of an SSIS package but in a much more terse, yet user friendly syntax. This XML describes in a version independent way what the SSIS package did. Here's where it's cool as a cucumber: The Biml for a 2005 SSIS package is exact same as a 2019 package and vice versa. The Biml Engine has to "know" how to translate the package definition into version specific .dtsx but the smart folks at Varigence have already solved that problem.
Now, you need to take that generic Biml and match it up to a Visual Studio 2008/2010 installation that has the Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS) bits installed on it. For SQL Server 2005/2008, BIDS only came on the SQL Server installation media as that is how the product is licensed. A developer license cost 25-50 USD but you can no longer purchase it. Hopefully, the target server has BIDS installed on it.
If so, then you need to find a copy of BidsHelper or maybe the renamed product BI Developer Extensions and then you can use the Biml engine embedded in that product to emit a 2008 correct package.
If none of that works, you can try getting a free 7/14 day license for BimlStudio and the 2018 release still allows for the targeting of SSIS 2008.
Now, all of that supposes you haven't used any features in SSIS 2012+ that didn't exist in 2008 (Expression tasks, Parameters, project connection managers, etc) and I doubt a Script Task/Component is going to downgrade but the good news there is you should be able to mostly copy/paste the code into the 2008 version of the object.
Currently in my machine visual studio community version 2017 version 15.9.3 has been installed and in server Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (SP1-CU3) has installed.
The issue is once I build the solution with available version and deploy it to server it gives following errors
even if i rebuild the ssis packages using old VS version and deploy it in server, still shows same error,
seems SSIDB keep tracking some meta data related to latest version deployment ispac.
still trying to figure it out the cause for this.
Initially what I want to do is using older version of VS ,need to deploy the ispac SSIS packages.
Thanks.
I encountered similar issue while upgrading from 2008/2012 to 2017. Somehow VS is not able to upgrade .NET version, even if you do so manually, it keeps coming back to the previous one. Your problem might be related to yet another issue though, but the last message in that validation outcome you pasted actually says about invalid script version and a failure while upgrading it automatically. If you only have a few of those scripts that are causing the problem, I would copy and paste the script to a brand new script component. If you have more, what helped us was this answer.
This is a common issue. If you build SSIS packages in VS(SSDT) 2017 and they have script components/tasks, they will not work on SQL Server 2016. Even though you set 2016 as the Target Version.
The only solution I know is to build your SSIS packages in VS(SSDT) 2015.
I have been searching for a while on this and have no real direction on what the problem may even be. I haven't done SSIS for about 5 years and even 5 years ago I only did one or two.
I have Visual Studio 2012 on my machine. I installed SSDT so that I could write an SSIS package. I have the package written and working locally but when I try to set up a job in the SQL Agent on the server I get this error after selecting the package:
I have looked into this error and none of the resolutions I have found are working. My project is already set to not use 64 bit mode. I'm kind of thinking this might have to do with the fact that the version of SQL Server on that machine is just 2008 and that maybe that means it has an incompatible SSIS runtime. I don't know if there is an additional runtime I need to install to get this to work and I don't know if it's backward compatible with the old runtime they are using if that's even the problem.
I can't find any information online about setting up the environment for an SSDT SSIS package..
Please help.
Thanks
You have a package built against the SQL Server 2012 Integration Services object model. You are attempting to execute it on a 2008 instance. Backwards compatibility is not an option.
You need to either update the 2008 instance to 2012 (there is a licensing change to be aware of) or recreate your package using the 2008 model.
There are 2 steps you have to do:
1) Build you package using correct version - Update 2208 Instance to 2012
2) If you have multiple versions install and you try to deploy using .ispac file, it will most likely pick the latest version. To resolve the issue, you have to pick the correct version of Installer by going to where it is installed. In my case it is (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn)
I have some custom control flow and data flow tasks that are not showing up in the SSIS Toolbox. When I open a package in SSDT containing the custom tasks I get several errors loading the package.
Error loading MyModuleTemplate1.dtsx: Cannot create a task from XML for task "__ECT Fetch Configuration", type "MyEncryptedConfiguration, MyCustomTasks, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2bdffe791d57af79" due to error 0x80070057 "The parameter is incorrect.".
I've followed Russ' and Matt's replies from the following post http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/5fdf9243-7e38-401e-bf4a-9251738877f9/how-to-browse-the-installed-custom-task-in-sql-server-2012-ssis-ie-custom-ssis-control-flow-task, however, the tasks still don't show.
I'm using SQL Server 2012 x64 with SSDT on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. I have verified that the tasks are in the GAC and that the assemblies are in the appropriate SQL Server\110\DTS directories. The assemblies have been compiled as 32-bit since I kept getting a warning about targeting Any CPU while referencing 32-bit assemblies (the SQL reference assemblies).
I'm able execute the packages with the custom tasks, on the target server successfully through command line. Additionally, these tasks work fine on my development machine. I can see the tasks in the SSIS Toolbox and can open packages with the tasks without issue. My dev machine is nearly identical to the target machine except that I have full installation of Visual Studio 2010.
Am I missing something?
This problem is the result of WiX installer not properly installing the custom tasks. Below is what I did to verify this.
For test purposes I created an empty custom task and manually deployed it to the target server by copying the files and the DTS\Tasks directory. This worked so I added the .cs file of one of the tasks that was throwing errors, to the test custom task and re-deployed. I was able to see both tasks. After cleaning the solution with the original custom tasks, I manually deployed the original custom task to the target server, like the test custom tasks and was able see the tasks in the SSIS toolbox. I then uninstalled the custom tasks and deployed them to the target server using a WiX installer -- the problem resurfaced. So the problem is with the installer. My previous attempts at manually installing the custom tasks failed because I was using the assemblies installed from the WiX installer, although I don't know why.
Ok - this is probably a silly question but what the hell.
I've created a SSIS package with configuration and a deployment manifest. When I copied this over to the server and double clicked it, the Package Wizard returned an error - that Integration Services wasn't installed - bad.
But when I did an export data task via SSMS, I noticed I could save this task as a package. When I set up a job I noticed I could actually select an SSIS package to schedule - even though SSIS is not installed(!?!) Does this mean I could just point to my earlier package and schedule that?
If so, do you only need Integration Services installed in order to install packages within SQL Server - its fine to run them from the file system?

Here is a good article on different ways to execute a package programmatically:
