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

On my work i have a situation that we have a three tier setup:
Database server
Application server
Clients
We work with SSIS packages which are stored in Database Server (on a share) but are called from a external scheduler in the application server. When we run the DTEXEC from the Application Server, the consumption of memory and cpu are on the Application Server. Is it possible and how to start the proces(DTEXEC) on the database server, and call it from the Application Server, so the consumption of the CPU and Memmory are on the database server>
Manny thanks

Running an SSIS package is constrained to dtexec.exe, using the ManagedDTS assemblies, running it from the SSISDB, running a SQL Agent job (which is really just using dtexec.exe).
If you've used the project deployment model, running the packages out of the SSISDB is calling a few stored procedures.
Otherwise, package deployment model means you'll want to figure out what makes sense for your environment and skill set.
I find SQL Agent jobs are the easiest but there are limitations (asynchronous nature of starting a job, concurrent execution, etc)
Remoting (PowerShell/PsExec/WMIC/.NET) seems the next logical step to launching a remote process

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.

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.
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 do I schedule SSIS to automatically execute a package from a file at a given time every day?
You have a few options, but I'll give you something that will allow you to get up and running quickly...
Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the Database Engine of the SQL Server that will run the job. This SQL Server should have SQL Server Agent installed and running.
Expand SQL Server Agent, expand Jobs.
Right-click, select New Job.
When you create your package step, for Type choose SQL Server Integration Services Package. For the Package source, choose File system. Then for the Package you can use the browse button (...) to browse for the DTSX file on the file system.
Go to Schedules and create job schedules as you normally would for any other SQL Server Agent job. In your case, set the Frequency to Daily, and set the value of Occurs once at to whatever time the job should run.
A couple of things to keep in mind...
Make sure that the SQL Server Agent service account (this is the default, you can choose an alternative security context if needed) has the permission to access the dtsx package on the filesystem.
This will only work if the server on which you're scheduling the job is also the Integration Services server. There are plenty of ways to handle remote package execution if you require it.

I prefer the above anwser but it is also possible with the windows Task Scheduler and start your ssis package with dtexec. (Only possible on the SSIS server) Check also execution with dtexec
First choice - if possible is to to schedule the package:
1) using the SQL Server Agent for the standard jobs
2) non-standard windows task scheduling, depends on what the package is doing
3) dtexec can play nicely but it depends on what ssis tasks the package runs
4) the more the ssis package does, the more it may require of the dtexec config
and set up to play nicely with the windows scheduler
