I have installed Buisness Inteligence Studio, does this mean my machine has ssis engine installed? I just drove analogy from the fact that if I install Visual Studio then .Net framework gets installed by default.
not exactly. BIDS is a plug-ig for Visual Studio that allows you to build BI solutions (SSIS, SSAS and SSRS). You conld have BIDS installed because you have a Reporting Service intance installed for example.
Usually if you have Integration Services or an instance of SSAS or SSRS intalled, you would have BIDS too. But that not mandatory, It wouldnt be true on a PROD server for example where you can have SSIS but wouldnt have BIDS.
Best way yo know if you have SSIS is to go to the "SQL Server Configuration Manager". It will list all instances of the 3 products you have intalled

I have installed SQL Server Data Tools in standalone mode (SSDT 2012 11.0.3000.0) i.e. without it being part of any SQL Server or Visual Studio Package. All I'm seeing now in SSCM is Integration Services running. There is no SSRS, SSAS or for that matter not even Database Engine and Agent services running. Even when I create any analysis or reporting service projects, all I see is SSIS toolbox over there. I haven't done this kind of standalone installation before and don't know if I might be missing something. Really appreciate some help here
Thanks,
Pratik
Client :
- Windows 7 SP1 32bit
- With SQL Express - Advance series installed (with VS2008)
Server:
- Database: SQL Server 2008R2 Enterprise Ed., 64bit
- OS: Windows Server 2008
I always get the message "To design IS packages in BIDS, BIDS has to be installed"
What am I missing here?
Really need your help guys, first time using VS much more the BIDS.
Thanks,
Elmer
You need to install BIDS on your client machine. BIDS is not included as part of Visual Studio, it is part of SQL Server (but runs in the Visual Studio shell). So get your SQL 2008R2 media and run the installation a new instance or add features. You don't need any of the Instance Features, but you should include the following Shared Features:
Business Intelligence Development Studio
Client tools Connectivity
Client tools SDK
Management Tools - Complete
SQL Client Connectivty SDK
I just have a simple question:
I have a production server with SQL Server 2008 SP2 installed with no BIDS!
Installing just ONLY Visual Studio 2008, will allow me to create an Integration Service Project?
Or BIDS is absolutely a mandatory requirement?
Thanks!
Visual Studio 2008 will let you create an Integration service Project
So no Bids isn't required but you have to have analysis services installed i believe to get that project type.
I have a server running SQL Server 2008 R2, and the Analysis and Integration services are running on that server.
I have on my Windows XP PC Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio.
In Visual Studio, when I go to open a new Analysis Services project, it lets me. However, if I try to open a new Integration Services project it doesn't let me and at the end it tells me that:
To install Integration Services, run SQL Server Setup and select
Integration Services.
So I locate the install media and run Setup and chose this option:
New installation or add features to an existing installation.
However, through the steps, it looks as if it's going to install the server engine on my PC, so I hesitated and stopped the process.
I looked around and found this one How to install SQL Server Management Studio 2008 component only that refers to being able to
install just the Client/Workstation Components
but I didn't see that so far.
I also found this: http://www.codefrenzy.net/2011/06/03/how-to-install-sql-server-2008-management-studio/ and she says to
Run the SQL Server Management Studio installer
What is she referring to? I don't see that in my media.
I wonder, wouldn't it be logical to start the install process with asking Client components or Server components or both?
please uninstall and reinstall SQL Server Management Studio(Client/Workstation Components) on client PC, in order to work with SSIS.
I have brand new Windows machine which we are planning to use as production machine to run our SSIS packages. My pacakges are on filesystem not in SQL Server. Is it possible we can install SSIS Engine only without BIDS. Will utility like dtexec work if We install only SSIS Engine? Is it a good idea?
In Production you wont be developing the SSIS packages so you don't need BIDS .
BIDS is a plugin for Visual Studio with additional Project types that are
specific to SQL Server business intelligence.
While installing SQL server you should include Integration Service Instance.SSIS runtime is actually not needed to run your packages .
SSIS Service Usage
Check out this article
Description of the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) service and of alternatives to clustering the SSIS service
dtexec utility comes with SQL Server to run a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package .So even without BIDS ,this utility will run your SSIS packages
