How to schedule an SSIS package to run on SQL Server 2005

  • I am fairly new to SSIS packages and I have created several of the packages, but was wondering if you can please give me some input on how to schedule these packages on SQL Server 2005.  Please let me know.

     

    Thanks,

    Manisha

  • Follow these steps:

    1) Create a new SQL Server Agent Job

    2) On the job step tab, add a new job step.

    3) On the General page of the new job step, choose "SQL Server Integration Services Package" as the type.

    4) The page should change to a SSIS specific page, where you fill in how to find the package and lots of other SSIS configuration options.

  • Thanks Kathi.  That worked.

     

  • I'd recommend that you don't use the SSIS job subsystem though. Read here: http://wiki.sqlis.com/default.aspx/SQLISWiki/ScheduledPackages.html

    Will look into using OS step type.

  • Scheduling legacy DTS packages on SQL 2005:

    [1] SQL Server Agent > Job > Job Step

    [2] Step type: Operating system (CmdExec)

    [3] Command: DTSRun /S "SERVERNAME" /U "USERNAME" /P "PASSWORD" /N "DTSPackageName"
