I just added a new folder and several packages to TFS server from source control, and they do exist when checking from source control.
However, none of them could be found when I tried to build a Parent package and to locate those uploaded packages in SQL server. My operation is as follows:
1. Add "Execute Package Task" component, then double click to edit
2. Package Location: SQL Server;
Connection: XXXX;
Package Name: Here pops up a list of folders and package files but newly uploaded ones are not included.
"Connection" is filled correctly because old filefolders and packages (uploaded by other people) are listed in Package Name pop-up window.
So how could I configure my packages on TFS to make it shown from SQL Server package list?
P.S. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008
You can't. As the documentation says:
The Execute Package task can run packages stored in the SQL Server
msdb database and packages stored in the file system. The task uses an
OLE DB connection manager to connect to SQL Server and a File
connection manager to access the file system.
The Execute Package task has no idea what TFS is or how to connect to it. If you really needed to do this, then you would have to write your own custom task that does know how to connect to TFS.
However I have no idea why you want to execute packages directly from TFS anyway, it's a source control system (among other things), not a package repository.

I am using VS 2017 SSDT 15.9.20 to create an SSIS package. The package is originally created in Server A where SSDT is installed and the SQL server resides in Server A. So I was ale to create the package in Server A. I created a SQL job in Server A and linked directly to run the DTSX file without deploying it.
What my package does:
In server A my package will read the excel in the location C:\Users\xxx\Documents\myproj\excelfile.xls
and will create excel sheets inside C:\Users\xxx\Documents\myproj\files\ folder.
Deployment:
Now I want to deploy this package to Server B. And my package will read the excel in the location \ServerB\S:\Documents\myproj\excelfile.xls
and will create excel sheets inside \ServerB\S:\Documents\myproj\files\ folder.
My questions:
Should I deploy my project to create dtsx file? There is already a dtsx file inside my project folder. Can I not just move that file to server B and change the connection string and paths? Will it work that way?
SSIS deployent tool does not work for me from server A. It does not identify the destination servers.How can be deployment made easy? How can I change the destination paths?
Server A has both SSDT installed and SQL database resides in same server. But the target server B is a database server and does not have SSDT in it. I will schedule a job in SQL server of server B that will call my dtsx package and execute it.
I am new to SSIS. so please don't close this question and would be great if anyone can help me with these questions. Thanks!
Without knowing the version of SQL, I'll give both answers:
Should I deploy my project to create dtsx file? There is already a
dtsx file inside my project folder. Can I not just move that file to
server B and change the connection string and paths? Will it work
that way?
Versions less than SQL 2012: Copy the dtsx file from your project to the folder on the target server. Connection strings can be change in the configuration of the SQL Agent job or by using package Configurations:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/lesson-5-add-ssis-package-configurations-for-the-package-deployment-model?view=sql-server-ver15
Versions greater SQL 2012: Create the ssis catalog on the target servers:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/create-the-ssis-catalog?view=sql-server-2014.
Right click on the project and use the wizard to deploy to the target server. Connection strings can be modified in SQL Agent as noted above, or you can use parameters:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/lesson-6-using-parameters-with-the-project-deployment-model-in-ssis?view=sql-server-ver15
The latter my seem like more work at first, but there is a myriad of benefits and it is the preferred way of doing things
SSIS deployent tool does not work for me from server A. It does not
identify the destination servers.How can be deployment made easy?
How can I change the destination paths?
Follow either deployment method noted above. Package deployment (copy files to a folder) still works in later versions, but it is less easy to manage and less things done for you like securing configurations and setting up logging.
Server A has both SSDT installed and SQL database resides in same
server. But the target server B is a database server and does not
have SSDT in it. I will schedule a job in SQL server of server B
that will call my dtsx package and execute it.
SSDT has no bearing on SSIS, but Integration Services does. SSDT is a developer tool and really should only be installed on developers machines for the purpose of creating packages and testing. It is better to not have this on the server because it encourages development to happen there and for devs to logon to the server like it's their laptop. Integration Services is a service that comes with SQL Server and is used for executing packages. You'll need to add this service to the instance if you want to execute packages from SQL Agent. This link explains that and gives guidance on installing SSDT locally:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/install-windows/install-integration-services?view=sql-server-ver15
I have a fairly simple control flow with two data flows. The first one reads data from an Excel spreadsheet using a source script component and stores data into a cache transform component. The second data flow uses a source script component to read a text file, then uses a lookup component to verify that the text file contained the correct information. The No match output from the Lookup is written into a flat file destination. If I run the package in Visual Studio, either debugger or execute, everything works. If I try to run the package from the command line using dtexec.exe I get the following error.
Description: The component is missing, not registered, not
upgradeable, or missing required interfaces. The contact information
for this component is "Cache Transform;Microsoft Corporation;
Microsoft SQL Server; (C) Microsoft Corporation; All Rights Reserved;
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/support;1".
Other packages that don't use a Lookup component give a different error.
Description: To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools
you must install Enterprise Edition (64-bit) of Integration Services
or higher.
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and SSIS 2016, and the project target server version is SQL Server 2016. I'm running dtexec.exe from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DTS\Binn\. Running dtexec.exe from c:\Program Files (x86)\...\DTS\Binn\ gives the same result.
Try repairing / reinstalling SSIS per your comment:
Integration services are installed but I can't find SQL Server
Integration Services on the services list. Something must have gone
wrong in the installation.
When I try to run my Package from SQL Server Management Studio(I've got it in Stored Packages in Integration Services Service) or just by double clicking package file, I get an error:
Connection Manager not found.
If I make connection manager as package instead of project It runs fine.
I found this problem on google but didn't find solution.
I haven't deploy my package to ssisdb yet so I don't know if it's working in that case.
I found out that this is common problem in SSIS. If you deploy your application - project (scope project- instead of package) connection managers will be visible and package will work. But if you want to run a package by double clicking in folder - you can't use project connection managers.
On our new server, when I try to run the SSIS packages from Integration Services in SSMS (ie by right clicking on the package and selecting "run")
I get the following error
The program has failed to Load the library "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\dts.dll"
Odd - the dll file is at that address, the SQLAgent login (under which integration services and Sql Agent runs) has permission to execute the file, and I have permission to execute the file (meaning we both have full control on the folder containing the dll). I can't see any reason why integration services wouldn't be able to load the library
This happens with all packages on the server
Stopping and restarting services (SQL and SSIS) has not resolved the issue
Any ideas?
I have made a SSIS package to create an XML file, which works fine in Visual Studio, but when I try to run in cmd prompt using dtexec /f "C:\OakeyCreek.dtsx" it throws an error
SSIS Package "TestOakey" failed with exit code: 1
In the package a sqltask gives resultset as XML and a script task creates the xml file.
I did some research, same package without script task run fine both studio and cmd prompt. I am suspecting problem with script task, because I have both VS2005 and VS2008 on the same machine.
Any idea how to resolve this problem ?
Exact error ms popup is ...

Note: Edited to provide the answer!
So you've set up a SQL Server Agent job, and now you can't write to the file system. This is expected behavior, since SQL Server Agent uses SQL Server credentials to launch the job, not Windows credentials. So, what you'll have to do is this:
Under the Security folder in the Database Server in SQL Server Management Studio, find the Credentials folder.
Right click Credentials and hit New Credential.
Set up the Credential as you.
Expand SQL Server Agent, and right click Proxies, and hit New Proxy.
Set up the Proxy as you, using the Credential you just created.
Enable the Proxy to have the SSIS subsystem (if it's admin, check all of them).
Go edit the step on your job that calls the SSIS package.
Change the Run As field from SQL Server Agent to the Proxy that you just set up (if you did it right, it will be the only other choice in the dropdown).
You should be good to go!
Cheers,

You are creating the package using SSIS 2005, but running it using DTEXEC from SSIS 2008 - you probably have both SSIS 2005 and 2008 installed, and DTEXEC 2008 appears first in the path.
To use DTEXEC 2005, specify full path, like
"c:\program files\Microsoft Sql Server\90\dts\binn\dtexec.exe" /f Package.dtsx
In theory, DTEXEC 2008 should also be able to run the package (it should upgrade it on the fly to SSIS 2008 format), but there might be bugs and incompatibilities between the versions. Also it seems something is wrong with script task setup in SSIS 2008. Why would not you follow the instructions in the error message: logon as administrator and (using elevated command prompt) run -
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\VSTA.exe" /HostID SSIS_ScriptTask /setup
