I have created SSIS packages. Configurations are stored within a .dtsconfig file. In order to deploy these packages to SQL Server, I am doing an Import Package (from File System) within Stored Packages.
If I make a change to the .dtsconfig file, do I need to rebuild the SSIS package and then run the Import Package again? I was wondering if there was a way to deploy an SSIS package without having to rebuild the package when a change was made to the .dtsconfig file.
The config is read at run-time. You just need to save the new .dtsConfig file and deploy it to where the package is looking for it.

I am developing a SSIS package using BIDS 2008 which is for SQL Server 2008 R2.
I need to deploy my application in DEV and QA. Would generating a dtsConfig for both environments sufficient for deployment. I am planning a file based deployment where I deploy the package and dtsConfig file on a server location. I have included the configuration file in the job step of the job. So what I understand is if there are two enviornments ,I would need to create two job scripts. Am I right ?
You need two different job scripts if there are any differences in the name/location of either the package or the config file between the two environments.
If you are doing a file system deployment, and using relative/local path to specify the location of the package and config (in other words, you don't have to specify the servername in the path) then the same job script should work in both environments.
I have an SSIS package that simply exports a database field into a excel file. When I run it in BIDS OR SSMS it outputs perfectly however when I run it from an SQL Job it only creates an empty excel file.
If your SQL server agent get the package from Integration Service Catalog, make sure the deployed package has every task enabled, or you could enable the certain importing task and deploy again to the server. Sometimes the deployed package has disabled tasks which may not noticed by the one who deploy the package.
If you use file system, also make sure certain task has been enabled.
More important, make sure that you are using the UNC path for tasks getting access to that file.
I enabled package configurations using SSIS 2012, but when I execute my package through the debugger, the values are not being read from the package. I can tell by stepping through the script tasks and also I can see the values for variables do not change as they did when the config files were read in SSIS 2008. Is there something more that I need to do other than enable package configurations and point to the files?
Thanks
During migration from SSIS 2008 to SSIS 2012 there is an option checked by default that says 'ignore config files.' If you're using config files make sure to uncheck this box. This solved my problem.
I have a dtsx file which i saved on my desktop.
It grabs a particular file(Source file (CSV)) and concatenate with the other file(Target file (CSV) as an appending manner . How can I run this DTSX? I just want this to be run on a regular basis without using sqlserver as it has nothing to do with the server.
I created this using a import and export data wizard in sql server 2008.
You can run SSIS Packages standalone via DTEXEC or by double clicking on the package to run the "Execute Package Utility" (DTEXECUI).
These would need to be installed which you do so by installing SSIS and the SQL/Server workstation tools.
You can do this via the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) as well, though this would give the workstation the ability to modify the package as well.
I am new to SSIS package and don’t have enough knowledge of the same. Below are some of my requirements:
I have a C# web application which reads data from an excel file, and we just need to give the folder path and its reads all excel files data in that folder.
Then I am putting that data in sql database.
I want to associate this C# web application code with an SSIS Package.
Can anyone give me steps how to create an SSIS package and how to associate this package with the c# code?
Yes you can do by following steps.
1. Create SSIS package - Please do search how to create SSIS package.
2. Host web application with dynamic loading package there you can update all configuration parameters dynamicaly.
3. I hope folder you mentioned in the server, if not then it has to be
go through this - Programatically load SSIS package configurations
please let me know if you need further help
