We are running an End-2-End configuration with TWSzOS as the MDM. The MDM & all of the current FTA's are 8.5.1 and I'm attempting to upgrade everything, but I have a current request to install a new FTA and I don't want to install another out of support 8.5.1 Agent. The issue I'm having is that I can't figure out which install package I need. I'm only going as high as 9.2 because that's as high as our Service Provider can go right now. Do I need the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent or the IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler Agent ? I've DL'd both and when I unzip them, the z/OS Agent zip seems to reference a zCentric Agent install. We need an FTA and the IBM TWS Agent zip references an FTA. But I just want to make sure I'm giving the Unix SA's the right package.
IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS Agent is only for zCentric Agent (this has a different license with a lower price).
For legacy end-to-end based on FTA you need the full package IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler Agent

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 want to setup a High Availability environment using Open Source Puppet version 4.10.
I did some research and found that master less architecture can be a
solution with it trades offs (No pinpoint to failed process)
High Availability in Puppet Enterprise is available is there a way to mimic that in open source and using foreman for GUI?
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

I have a running sql server installation on which I would like to install the reporting services module. Now because it is very important that the sql server it self keeps available and running without any interruptions I get a little scary about this step.
Now my question. Are there any pittfalls I have to be aware of before I install the module? E.g. does the server restart during the installation?
Can you try this change in a virtual machine first?
For example, use the Disk2vhd application (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx) to make a snapshot of your current production system. Then, use the VHD that was created in Microsoft Virtual PC, Hyper-V, or Windows 7 native VHD boot.
If you try a virtual machine for testing, disable networking or create a private network before starting the virtual machine! Having two servers with the same name and SID on your network is a Bad Thing.
(If you're not using virtual machines, isn't it time? :)
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
