can we install 2008 R2 integration services and 2012 integration services on the same server

  • Hi DBA'S

    I had 2012 integration services installed on a server. i am trying to connect to Oracle but it is failing. I worked with Same SSIS Pkg in 2008 r2 where i can connect to oracle and import data. So i am planning to install sql server 2008 r2 ssis on the same box where 2012 is installed. My Database engine will be 2012. can i do this ?

    please advise

    Thanks a alot in adavnce

  • Hello,

    According to my understanding, you can only install 1 physical instance of SSIS on each machine. Check the following link for an article which discusses the same.

    You can install both sets of binaries side-by-side, but only one instance of the service. If you need to run SSIS 2008 Packages on a server where SSIS 2012 is installed you can do so by calling the correct version DTExec.exe using a fully-qualified path of the executable.

  • Thanks for the reply!

    Can you please explain this in more details, i use Execution utility for running this packages. so how can i differentiate 2012 and 2008R2 SSIS.

    So you conclude that we can install 2008r2 on the server where 2012 is installed, if so what precautions should be taken while installing SSIS 2008R2...

    Thanks everyone in advance!

    The path. Each install has it's own Tools folder. Search for DTExec.exe on your machine.

    If you already have 2012 installed you may be denied installing the 2008 R2 IS service. That I have not tried so could not advise. Worst case you can get the 32-bit version of the 2008 R2 DTExec.exe by installing BIDS from the 2008 R2 media.
