14. Deployment
Demo

15. Deployment DTSX content stored in msdb or file system
Package
Project
DTSX content stored in msdb or file system
Project contents stored in SSISDB
Packages (.dtsx extension)
Project deployment file (.ispac extension)
Configurations (.dtsConfig extension)
Manifest (.SSISDeploymentManifest ext.)
Environment deployment script
Use wizard, DTUTIL, or Visual Studio
Use wizard, T-SQL, or Visual Studio

16. Configuration
Demo

17. Configuration
Package
Project
Configurations are used to assign values to package properties
Parameters are used to assign values to package properties
Environment-specific configuration values are stored in configuration files
Environment-specific parameter values are stored in environment variables (SSISDB)
Configuration values storage options:
XML configuration file
Environment variable
Registry entry
Parent package variable
SQL Server table
SSISDB

18. Execution
Demo

19. Execution The dtExec utility:
Package
Project
The dtExec utility:
loads the package
applies the configurations
applies the Parent Package Variable configs
runs the package
Packages are executed by starting an execution on the database engine
You can also execute packages using dtExec
A log provider must be added to the package to capture events.
Events are logged in SSISDB automatically.

20. Troubleshooting
Demo

21. Troubleshooting Package Project No logging by default
Five standard logging settings:
None, Basic (the default), Performance, Verbose, RuntimeLineage
Event logging is highly configurable
Customized Logging Level option (SQL Server 2016)
Events logged to msdb.dbo.sysssislog
Events logged to: SSISDB.catalog.event_messages
Error messages appear in SQL Agent Job log
Error messages do not appear in SQL Agent Job log
Log evaluation via T-SQL
Standard SSRS reports for log evaluation
