Deploying an SSIS Package

Question

I have a a project with multiple packages under the SSIS_Packages folder. Can i deploy one of those package instead of the project? The documentation here indicates to use .SSISDeploymentManifest. I don't want to deploy all the packages under the project, just one to SQL Server 2005.

Answer 1

Check the dtutil utility out (following sample taken from here) :

dtutil /DestS [servername] /FILE [filename].dtsx /COPY SQL;[foldername]\[filename]

Answer 2

Easies would be to create a new SSIS project in VStudio containing only the desired package and deploy this single package.

Answer 3

If you want to just deploy a single package, you can also use the File -> Save Copy As ... functionality in BIDS:

1) Open package. 2) Click inside package whitespace to focus package. 3) In the BIDS menu, go to File -> Save Copy of As ... 4) Fill in the pop-up box appropriately (Destination server name, authentication, package path on the server, protection level).

If you need to repeat this process, your best bet is to create a batch file that runs the dtutil executable with the appropriate command-line arguments.
