Did your "above you" insisted that you should use trigger to execute XP_CMDSHELL? Or they just told you that SSIS should start as soon as records inserted?I would not definitely, under any circumstances, call xp_cmdsheel from a trigger - just NEVER.
You may try to create scheduled task and use msdb.dbo.sp_start_job to start it from the trigger, that may be a bit better...
Also you can use Service Broker.
Hi Eugene,
The "above me" above me asked me to call the SSIS package from a Trigger without making the package a part of a job. So I was pretty much left with Xp_cmdshell. Any other suggestions of doing it are very welcome. Thanks for ur time.
