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

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 am troubleshooting an SSIS package, permission issues around external files.
It only fails when running via the SQLAgent obviously using the SQL Agent unattended account.
This is fixed now however in order to test I needed to create a SQLAgent job and then a step within that job to test.
Obviously when a package is run locally via Visual studio it uses your own credentials. When you log into SSIS server via Management studio and use the Execute package utility does this use your own credentials or the SQL Agent credentials?
Is there any quick way of executing a package with the Agent without going through the fuss of creating an Agent job?
I have installed SSIS for VS2012 (SQL Server 2012) and I am able to create basic packages that run, however I am unable to get any of the logging to work. I have configured logging for text files and for the SQL Provider however, neither will log the execution of the package which is just a few SQL statements. I have configured all of the events to log in the details and in the advanced selections. The exec SQL tasks are in a Data Flow container, which I have also enabled logging.
When I look for the table msdb.dbo.sysssislog it is there but it is empty. If I configure the file writer, it will not create a file, which I specified to be in \windows\temp to avoid any permission problems.
If you deploy your packages to SSIS Catalog, you can have access to a better logging system that is offered by SSIS2012. You can Right-Click on your project under Integration Services Catalog and Report All Executions. This is highly recommended and makes your DBA's life much easier. you can learn more about how to set this up here.
I have some task which I want to schedule and I did not work with SSIS before. I have created SSIS package using the Execute T-SQL Statement Task. It has run my procedures from DB.
But I need to run this procedures weekly using SSIS package. Is it possible and how can it be implemented?
Once this is implemented, I will send this SSIS package to the guys who are working with SQL server.
One possible option would be to use an SQL Server Agent job to run the SSIS packages.
Have a look at the following link. It explains how to create an SQL job that can execute an SSIS package on a scheduled basis. You can create a Credential and Proxy if you need to access any external resources outside of the database. If your package accesses only a database, you can possibly skip the steps that create Credential and Proxy Account.
The scheduling part is not explained in the below link but I think it should be easy enough to figure out on the SQL Server Agent Job creation dialog.
How do I create a step in my SQL Server Agent Job which will run my SSIS package?
Hope that gives you an idea.
SSIS package execution scheduling is done on the SSIS server, when the package is imported (or, on the machine you wrote the SSIS package on, if it's the Production machine - it isn't, right?)
The SSIS GUI (BIDS) offers a range of scheduling options.
Ok - this is probably a silly question but what the hell.
I've created a SSIS package with configuration and a deployment manifest. When I copied this over to the server and double clicked it, the Package Wizard returned an error - that Integration Services wasn't installed - bad.
But when I did an export data task via SSMS, I noticed I could save this task as a package. When I set up a job I noticed I could actually select an SSIS package to schedule - even though SSIS is not installed(!?!) Does this mean I could just point to my earlier package and schedule that?
If so, do you only need Integration Services installed in order to install packages within SQL Server - its fine to run them from the file system?

Here is a good article on different ways to execute a package programmatically:
