SSIS packages A package is an organized collection of connections, control flow elements, data flow elements, event

handlers, variables, parameters, and configurations, that you assemble using either the graphical

design tools that SQL Server Integration Services provides, or build programmatically. You then save

the completed package to SQL Server, the SSIS Package Store, or the file system.

SSIS is primarily an ETL and batch data processing tool. SSIS can easily read multiple files from a

network drive and provides the tools to transform data, either before or after loading it into a

database.

SSIS packages that are stored on the server are listed under Integration Services (you must have

administrator rights to log into Integration Services). You can also save the SSIS package to the file

system – it is saved as a dtsx file.

In order to edit the SSIS package, you must export the package from the server (unless you already

have it saved on the file system). The dtsx file can then be edited, saved and redeployed.
