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

This quickstart demonstrates how to run an SSIS package from the command prompt by running DTExec.exe with the appropriate parameters.

Note

The method described in this article has not been tested with packages deployed to an Azure SQL Database server.

For more info about DTExec.exe, see dtexec Utility.

Supported platforms

You can use the information in this quickstart to run an SSIS package on the following platforms:

  • SQL Server on Windows.

The method described in this article has not been tested with packages deployed to an Azure SQL Database server. For more info about deploying and running packages in Azure, see Lift and shift SQL Server Integration Services workloads to the cloud.

You cannot use the information in this quickstart to run an SSIS package on Linux. For more info about running packages on Linux, see Extract, transform, and load data on Linux with SSIS.

Run a package with dtexec

If the folder that contains DTExec.exe is not in your path environment variable, you may have to use the cd command to change to its directory. For SQL Server 2017, this folder is typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DTS\Binn.

With the parameter values used in the following example, the program runs the package in the specified folder path on the SSIS server - that is, the server that hosts the SSIS Catalog database (SSISDB). The /Server parameter provides the server name. The program connects as the current user with Windows Integrated Authentication. To use SQL Authentication, specify the /User and Password parameters with appropriate values.

  1. Open a Command Prompt window.

  2. Run DTExec.exe and provide values at least for the ISServer and the Server parameters, as shown in the following example:

    dtexec /ISServer "\SSISDB\Project1Folder\Integration Services Project1\Package.dtsx" /Server "localhost"
