Lesson 6-4: Deploy the Lesson 6 package

Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

Deploying the package involves adding the package to the SSISDB catalog in Integration Services on an instance of SQL Server. In this lesson, you add the Lesson 6 package to the SSISDB catalog, set the new parameter, and execute the package. For this lesson, you use SQL Server Management Studio to add the Lesson 6 package to the SSISDB catalog, and deploy the package. After deploying the package, you modify the parameter to point to a new location, and then run the package.
In this task, you:

  1. Add the package to the SSISDB catalog in the SSIS node in SQL Server.

  2. Deploy the package.

  3. Set the package parameter value.

  4. Execute the package in SSMS.
