I need to upgrade my SSIS package developed in SQL Server 2008 R2 to Sql Server 2016 package. What is the easiest way to upgrade my package.dtsx file.
I am looking at an option where the upgrade happens on the file system. I would need to then open it using Visual studio 2015 editor and extend it further. The package should be compatible to run on SQL Server 2016 database server.
The easiest upgrade method is just to open the file in VS 2015.
You will need to make sure the correct provider for OLEDB conns.
Also, watch out for script tasks. They don't always upgrade properly.

I tried to develop a simple Task but encountred this error
You can try this :
Download and install “SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio” the
last version
Repair SQL Server along with client components. This can be done by
choosing option in SQL Setup
I am importing my SQL 2008 R2 packages into my SQL 2014 server. I'm noticing there are 2 ways to do this
Integration Services Catelog -->SSISDB
Connect to SSIS -->Stored Packages
I'm trying to understand the difference between the 2 ways. I like the SSISDB way better. Don't ask me why. I just do.
Is one way the "new" way or "proper" way and the other way is just for backwards compatibility?
You can export the SSIS Project to Sql server data tools 2014 by opening the exported ispac file in Visual Stdio 2012 or newer version.
You just right click on the deployed project and export the ispac file to a particular location in your system.
Now, Open Visual Studio and open business integration import project and browse that file.
Here, your packages in that project will be upgraded to newer version of SSIS.
Hope, this could help you!
I am trying to deploy a Script component to SSIS toolbox in the Data Flow for reuse. I'm using visual studio 2010, and SQL server 2014.
I have created the script, Signed the assembly, used Gacutil.exe /i on the DLL file to add it. It now recedes in the GAC_MSIL folder under it's strong name folder.
The above procedure is the current way I'm trying to get it to work, but I have additionally tried to use SN utility to generate a strong name and add this key back into the build. Didn't work any better than the above procedure. Is it supposed to be next to impossible to add custom components to SSIS?
In my simple mind it should be just sign, build, GAC and done.
The editor for SSIS packages is tightly bound to the version of the SQL Server you're working with.
As a general reference, we have the following
VS 2005 = SQL Server 2005 {90}
VS 2008 = SQL Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2 {100}
VS 2010, VS 2012 = SQL Server 2012 {110}
VS 2013 = SQL Server 2014 {120}
VS 2015 = SQL Server 2016 (once it's RTMed) {130}
Now, you could be using VS 2010 to build your custom DLL, as long as you've referenced the correct version of the SSIS DLLs, and then used SSDT-BI edition for VS 2013 to author your SSIS packages --- that's fine.
Making it work
Your current build and deploy cycle is what you need to do on your servers. That will allow SSIS to find the components when it runs.
However, you need the development experience so you need to also add that same DLL into the correct folder in your SQL Server installation. For SQL Server 2014, a custom "Script Component", or anything that lives in the data flow, would also need to be copied to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\PipelineComponents
If you've done it properly, then items automatically show up for VS 2010+. VS 2005/2008 required an additional step of explicitly adding tasks and components into the Toolbox.
If they aren't showing then you've either
built your DLL against the wrong version of the SSIS framework
using the wrong version of SSIS tools
not deployed the DLL to both the GAC and the correct DTS subfolder based upon your SQL Server version.
Clear as mud?
Which version of SSIS track versions of SSIS Package deployed to Server ? Please provide version.
DTS (very old version of SSIS) used to do it automatically. But as far as I know no versions of SSIS do it. You use TFS for that, but it just manages all the source code.
To check the package format version you have to open .dtsx file itself .
If PackageFormatVersion>3 then its 2008 when PackageFormatVersion>6 then its 2012 and when PackageFormatVersion>8 then 2014.
I have added snapshot it might help you to understand how to check version in SSIS.
SSIS 2012, 2014 and 2017 can track versions of SSIS Package deployed to Server. SSIS 2005, 2008 did not have this features.
I have a package that is developed in SSIS 2012 using Visual Studio 2010.
Is it possible to deploy/attach this package on SQL Server 2008
If it is possible, does the licence of the sql server matter
no, you cant. SSIS package are not backwards compatible.
Also it doesn't make much sense if you think about it. If it was the other way around, "maybe" it could be done because 2012 would somehow be aware of 2008 structure, but 2008 engine isn't aware of 2012 package structure.
You cannot run it with the 2008 version of dtexec and you certainly cannot deploy it into the catalog, but if you could install the minimum you need to run SSIS 2012 onto a server somewhere you could then execute the package from filesystem with the 2012 version of dtexec.

Best guess would be no. The engine to run the SSIS package would have to match the release level of the code. You have not been able to run any SSIS package on any release level below the developed level of the package (i.e. 2005 server will not run a 2008 package etc.)
It is not a license issue, it is an engine issue. The SSIS engine code changes with each release and therefore the code would be running in an engine that doesn't support the features or structure of the package.
