SSIS package execution through VB.net code - ssis

I've kept my ssis package in my local application folder and through vb.net m able to execute that as package.execute(), But when i publish the same code in my server, its showing some eror,
so is that we need to install sql server in the applicaiton server also ?
My server does'nt have sql server installed....
or any prerequisite do we need to install on my server machine to make this work....

You will need to install sql server integration services on that server

Deploying SSIS Package from Server A to Server B

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:

SQL SERVER 2008 SSIS

I have a question regarding to SSIS. I designed a package and it worked fine when I executed in my local machine. I used to extract the data from Teradata and load into SQL SERVER 2008. Everything was fine but I'm looking for how to execute the package without my local machine. I mean how to configure and set up the odbc in the SSIS server machine, not my local machine.
Thank you,
Paul
You'll need to make sure you've installed SQL Server Integration Services on the box; then there's a number of ways to go about running it. From there, I prefer to connect to Integration Services from the Object Explorer in SSMS and import packages, using the "SQL Server" as the Package Location. Once the Integration Services on the box has an entry for the package, you'll be able to run it with the agent by specifying a step type of "SQL Server Integration Services Package." I don't think you will need to set up the ODBC on the server itself if you have it configured correctly in your package, but if you do that should be no different than the way you have it set up on your own box.

SSIS Error When executing from command line [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Executing SSIS 2012 package that has script components from external application
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a small SSIS package which exports data to a excel file from SQL server 2008. The package works perfectly fine in our dev environment, when the package is moved to our another environment we receive the below error on execution from command line.
The package runs for a while and then gives the below error
Error: 2012-05-21 18:34:01.61
Code: 0xC000F427
Source: Create Summary From Detail SSIS.Pipeline
Description: To run a SSIS package outside of Business Intelligence
Development Studio you must install Standard Edition of Integration Services
or higher.
End Error
Other SSIS packages which were exported to this environment before are working fine now. Only this package is throwing this error, what i meant to say is we are having the SSIS installed on this environment.
Can Some one please let me know what could be the possible reason for this?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you
What version of SQL Server do you have installed on your computer? You need at least SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. If you are running Workgroup Edition or SQL Server Express, you will have difficulties with advanced SSIS features (unless you are running through Visual Studio.)
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx#SSIS for a list of SSIS features not supported by SQL Server Workgroup.
A package runs on the same computer as the program that launches it. Even when a program loads a package that is stored remotely on another server, the package runs on the local computer. Also, you can only run a package outside the development environment on a computer that has Integration Services installed. You cannot run packages outside of Business Intelligence Development Studio on a client computer that does not have Integration Services installed, and the terms of your SQL Server 2005 licensing may not permit you to install Integration Services on additional computers.
So, apparently you don't have SSIS on your "another environment". Did you deploy it to SQl Server or File disk?
To run remote packages from a local computer that does not have
Integration Services installed, start the packages so that they run on
the remote computer on which Integration Services is installed. You do
this by having the local computer use SQL Server Agent, a Web service,
or a remote component to start the packages on the remote computer. If
you try to start the remote packages directly from the local computer,
the packages will load onto and try to run from the local computer. If
the local computer does not have Integration Services installed, the
packages will not run.
This article shows mechanisms for running the package on another machine that does have SSIS installed:

SQL Server 2008 does not show the Management Studio option

I'm trying to create a new database using SQL Server 2008, and these are the steps that I follow:
Start -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 ->
I get 2 options:
Configuration tools
Import and Export Data (32 bit).
So I choose Configuration tools and then get these options:
SQL Server Configuration Manager
SQL Server error and usage reporting
SQL Server Installation Center
When I click 1. SQL Server Configuration Manager and start SQL Server sqlExpress I get an error stating request failed or server did not respond in timely fashion.
Could you guys please help.
Usually if you don't see the Mgmt Studio option you forgot to select to install it during your SQL installation.
You need SQL Server with Tools download. When you install with that package you will have the ability to install Management Studio.
You can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/express.aspx
If you installed SQL Server Express alongside with Visual Studio, you're not getting Management Studio. You need to:
either download and install SQL Server Management Studio Express from the Microsoft web site
use Visual Studio as your frontend to SQL Server Express (works for most tasks - but not all)
install a full version of SQL Server and make sure to choose the Client Tools feature (that's the Management Studio) and use that to administer your .\SQLExpress instance

SSIS pckage run from file system

Initially I deployed packages on SQL server but since my machine is not having SSIS installed I faced issue of version while executing the packages. Then I deployed packages to file system on server which has SQL server enterprise edition with SSIS installed on it. I access the folder on server where I have deployed packages from my system and execute the package but I get error saying "cannot run on this edition of integration services, need higher version." Do I need to rmote login (RDP) to execute package?
Don't know whom to blame but my package is running successfully. The solution was restart the server!!! (though client was not ready to that for long period of time)
