Examples

The following code example saves the sample package under the File System. To verify that the package was saved, run the following Transact-SQL query against the msdb database. The query returns all packages stored in the msdb system table.

select * from sysssispackages

Or, connect to the Integration Services service, expand Stored Packages, and then expand MSDB. The package with the name DTSPackage1 will be listed.
