running ssis package with ssis run time compoenents and sql server 2000...

Is it possible to run ssis packages that point to servers on sql server 2000
without installing sql server 2005

Can we just install runtime for ssis and run the packages

Please explian with links if possible

thanks a lot

Simple answer. Yes, SSIS can access SQL Server 2000. And yes, you can install SSIS only without SQL Server databsae engine.

Hi, Something like how to do the installation of the SSIS package with the entire sql 2005 server engine How to install it besides the SQL 2000 server Are there any configurations to be done while installing SSIS or any setting in any config files to make them work toghether. Thanks, $wapnil

The install is fairly straight forward. I don't think there are any special switches that you need to flick under the circumstances that you talk about.

One thing, If you you are installing a named instance of the SQL Server engine then you will need to change the SSIS Service configuration. See here: http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/knight_reign/archive/2005/06/08/15765.aspx

Thank you.

But If I have to run a SSIS package with SQL 2K instance Where will be the package stored - in msdb or it can run if from a file

If you want me to create a new thread for this then let me know.

Thanks for your time.

This is great.

So to just summarize.

1) On the production machine that I have SQL 2000 server installed, I will install SSIS component only.

2) Develop the SSIS packages on my machine using VS 2.0 and SSIS.

3) Save the packages in files with *.dtsx and configuration files *.xml

4) Move the files to the production machine and execute the files using DTExec.

IS this correct

Thanks again.

If you want to store the package in msdb then you will need a SQL 2005 instance.

Although yes, you can run from a file, and in that scenario you don't need ANY SQL Server instances. I always choose to store in files by the way.

If you want me to create a new thread for this then let me know.

No worries. I can split the thread if necassary.

It sounds fine to me, yes.

This thread help me to find some answers. We have several clients and some of them are still with SQL 2000. I was asked to develop ETL which needs to work on SQL 2005 and SQL 2000. Are SSIS runtime components are downloadable with free of charge or is it possible that we can package with our installer (are these can be redistributable with free of charge). Answer to this question helps me whether I need to develop ETL using DTS or SSIS. I am not sure whether I need to post this one as a seperate thread or not.

Thanks

thanks guys.this is exactly what I was looking for.

SSIS is not free, it is not downloadable; it comes part of SQL Server Standard, Developer, or Enterprise editions. SSIS is not redistributable either, unlike DTS. A license is required wherever SSIS may be installed.

Hi Jamie ,

I am facing the same scenario as above ,with the benefit of a client that is willing to pay for CAL's for ssis ,is there any way I can bootstrap the install of SSIS into a install for an application

Thanks in advance

Cedric

Thank you.

I guess then I don't have choice, I have to write ETL using DTS.
