How to: Set the Properties of the Integration Services Service

The Integration Services service manages and monitors packages in SQL Server Management Studio. When you first install SQL Server Integration Services, the Integration Services service is started and the startup type of the service is set to automatic.

After the Integration Services service has been installed, you can set the properties of the service by using either SQL Server Configuration Manager or the Services MMC snap-in.

To configure other important features of the service, including the locations where it stores and manages packages, you must modify the configuration file of the service. For more information, see Configuring the Integration Services (SSIS) Service.
