Is there any major difference between SSIS 2012 and SSIS 2014 - sql-server-2014

I have not seen the SQL Server 2014,just wondering is there any difference in SSIS 2012 and SSIS 2012?Any new components introduced?Any new tasks?

According to the MSDN article What's New (Integration Services), no changes have been introduced in SSIS:
SQL Server 2014 Integration Services is unchanged from the previous release.

Feature wise they are exactly the same but for some stupid reason the package format has changed and you cannot mix versions.
i.e. Packages created in VS2010/2012 can only be deployed to SQL 2012 instance (SSIS2012 runtime) and VS2013 -> SQL 2014.
If you open a VS2010/2012 solution in VS2013 it will upgrade and you cannot go back.
See this for more feedback.

Edit: it seems you can deploy SSIS2012 packages to SQL2014 using Management Studio as they are automatically upgraded. The rules about Visual Studio still stand.
(I have used this - my team are mixed between 2012 and 2014)

Is possible to deployed SSDT 2017/2019 in SQL Server 2014

We are currently working on a project to execute a wide range of data migration tasks and we are thinking on SSIS one of the component of Microsoft SQL Server. Currently, we have SQL Server 2014 Enterprise installed Database and SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT - BI 2014). Also, I found out that there are different version of SSDT - BI (2017, 2019) which is more advance than the previous one. Now, just wondering if possible to create and deploy a package build in the latest SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 to SQL Server 2014 version? Sorry, quiet new on this technology. Hope for some advice and recommendation from our SQL Experts here. Thanks in advance for your inputs. Greatly appreciated
You should be able to install VS 2017 or 2019 and target 2014 for your version. My VS 2019 install can target SSIS 2012 and higher.

SSIS 2005 to 2019

In the company where I work I have SSRS, SSIS and SSAS projects done in 2005 and 2008, and at this moment the company has purchased VS 2019, is it possible to migrate ssis packages from 2005 and 2008 to 2019 directly? I can't find anything on the net that is very specific in relation to this matter.
Thank you
greetings
Maybe is the answer.
If the packages were built using only standard, out of the box, tasks and components and there's no scripting involved, you can run that 2005 package with the 2019 execution engine and it'll work.
Behind the scenes, the run-time engine will create an in-memory copy of the old package and upgrade to 2019 and then run it (and then dispose of it).
When you open the package in the VS designer, then that transient upgrade becomes permanent.
With the 2016 release of the VS designer tools, MS gave us "multi-targeting" for SSIS package development. Prior to that, you needed VS 2005 to create SQL Server 2005 packages. VS 2008 or 2010 for SQL Server 2008/2008R2. VS 2012 for SQL Server 2012, etc. With 2016 though, you could now go into the project properties and specify "target 2012, 2014, 2016" etc for deployment. This continues with 2019.
Also new for 2012 is the concept of a Project deployment model. The old stuff is under the Package deployment model. It's still a valid approach and you'll likely want to remain in that model as there are differences for configuration, logging, package execute package task between them.
Script Task/Components are tricky. Some times they upgrade easy. Others you merely need to open the Task/Component and click recompile and errors sort themselves out. If someone got really clever with metadata and pipelines in a Script Component, then you're likely looking at a rewrite. The default language has switched between 2005/2008 which only offered VB.NET to C#. Both compile to IL so it doesn't matter but most folks stick with the default.
If you used custom components, then you'll need to acquire new versions built on the target set of SSIS binaries (and pray they haven't gone out of business). Register in GAC etc
You specify you purchased VS 2019, but do you have a SQL Server 2019 license to go with that? Otherwise, you're pouring new wine into old skins

Unable to find "CreateDeploymentUtility" in SQL Server 2017

I observe that CreateDeploymentUtility is not available in same place as it should be as explained in this video. By any chance do you know where I can find and set it?
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, version 15.3.4, .Net Framework version 4.7.02046
The SQL Server 2017 Integration Services (SSIS) introduced the
Incremental Package Deployment feature that allows you to deploy one
or more packages without deploying the whole project.
To Deploye follow steps given in below Link.

Can I create SSRS Reports in VS 2015 using SQL Server 2008 R2?

I'm new to SSRS.
Recently upgraded my development environment from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition. Currently my reports are made using Crystal Reports. I would like to to use SSRS and I'm trying find out my current environment will allow me to do it.
So now I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
Can I create SSRS Reports using these two?
If yes, how can I create it?
I know how to create a report and publish it using the Business Intelligence Development Studio in SQL Server 2008 R2. But could not understand how I could use those reports in my WebApplication project in Visual Studio 2015.
Also would like to know - Is it possible to reuse my existing datasets which I'm using in my Crystal Reports?
Should I upgrade my SQL Server version?
Yes, you can create reports for SSRS 2008 R2 with VS 2015. You will need to download, and install, the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) at the following link.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt204009.aspx
To build reports, create a new project using the Report Server Project template found under Templates/Business Intelligence in the New Project dialog. (After you install SSDT)
This is the replacement for BIDS, so much of what you see should look familiar.
Not sure about the Crystal Reports datasets, but you should be able to reuse any SQL or stored procedures that may be a part of these.
Should you upgrade? At some point, sure, but it isn't required. SQL Server 2016 is about to be here, and you are working with a product that is over 4 years old, and more than likely going to be out of support soon, if it isn’t already.
There is a setting in Visual Studio (See above answers for more details.)
There is a setting in
Project --> Properties --> TargetServerVersion
Note that here, server means database server or db-server, as opposed to web server or report-server.
But note well: For me, it is only the version in the folder:
..Projects\myProject1\myProject1\bin\Debug
that will actually deploy and work.

How do I open SSRS (.rptproj) and SSIS (.dtproj) files in Visual Studio 2015? [duplicate]

I want to use SSIS /BIDS project in Visual Studio 2012.
I have both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed along with Microsoft SQL
Server 2012.
VS 2010 was installed first followed by MS SQL 2012 which got me BIDS integrated with VS 2010.
However I cannot seem to find any help on integrating BIDS with VS 2012.
I came across few question on SO related to this topic but all of them had integration with 2010 and not 2012.
I know that with MS SQL 2012 I get a SQL Server Data Tool. Does this mean that Visual Studio 2012 and BIDS cannot be integrated ?
Solution 2012:
I had to update the solution here since one of the answers I received partially solved the issue. The Answer provided by did solve the issue #user2141936 but I kept on getting an BlockMixedArchitectureInstall error while updating an existing instance.
It worked without with creating a new instance!!
Side Note :
Installing the update broken my publishing database project onto 2012 server. You need to download and install a DACFramework patch for it.
Solution 2013:
download and install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.
There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.
There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2012)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2014)
None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals
Today March 6, 2013, Microsoft released SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSDT BI) templates. With SSDT BI for Visual Studio 2012 you can develop and deploy SQL Server Business intelligence projects. Projects created in Visual Studio 2010 can be opened in Visual Studio 2012 and the other way around without upgrading or downgrading – it just works.
The download/install is named to ensure you get the SSDT templates that contain the Business Intelligence projects. The setup for these tools is now available from the web and can be downloaded in multiple languages right here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36843
First Off, I object to this other question regarding Visual Studio 2015 as a duplicate question. How do I open SSRS (.rptproj) and SSIS (.dtproj) files in Visual Studio 2015? [duplicate]
Basically this question has the title ...Visual Studio 2012 / 2013 What about ALL the improvements and changes to VS 2015 ??? SSDT has been updated and changed. The entire way of doing various additions and updates is different.
So having vented / rant - I did open a VS 2015 update 2 instance and proceeded to open an existing solution that include a .rptproj project. Now this computer does not yet have sql server installed on it yet.
Solution for ME : Tools --> Extension and Updates --> Updates --> sql server tooling updates
Click on Update button and wait a long time and SSDT then installs and close visual studio 2015 and re-open and it works for me.
In case it is NOT found in VS 2015 for some reason : scroll to the bottom, pick your language iso https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
