I previously wrote article SQL SERVER – Import CSV File into Database Table Using SSIS. I was asked following question by reader that how to run the same SSIS package from command prompt. In response to the same I have written article SQL SERVER – Running SSIS Package From Command Line. Within few minutes of the blog post, I received email from another blog reader asking if this can be scheduled in SQL Server Agent Job.
Absolutely, SSIS package can be scheduled in SQL Agent Jobs. Here is quick note on how one can do the same.
First you can create new job from SQL Server Agent Menu.
Create New Step.
Select Type as SQL Server Integration Services Packages. Select Package Source as file system and give package path.
Now click on OK, which will bring you at following screen.
On next screen you can select schedule and configure desired schedule.
You can notice this is very easy process. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Pinal,
This is very Blog..However I would like to add something about SSIS package Configuration. There is a tab just adjacent to General, calls “Configurations” which is used to specify the path of configuration file for SSIS package.
MSDN says about configuration file “SQL Server Integration Services provides package configurations that you can use to update the values of properties at run time”
Here is the Link for that
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/packages/legacy-package-deployment-ssis?view=sql-server-2017
What I would suggest to be considered is that the SSIS packages have several options for storage – file system or database store.
I recommend the database store, since it is more secure, and it is easier to account for later on during system inventories and instance migrations.

what should i do if i want to pass parameter?
for example:
i want to run ssis package schedule but i want the date on the Sql query inside the package to be dynamically.
i generally want to load from another table only the values with today’s date.
You can take an execution script of SSIS package and change desired parameter value.

I have a question : what account would a SQL job use to Run a SSIS Package using Config File where the package is stored in msdb database and the config file is stored on the local server to one of the drives ? But the config file reads/writes data from a N/w Share.. Currently i have set this up using the SQL Service Account which is Domain Admin and has access to everything, But now the requirement is to Run ALL Jobs under SA SQL Authentication account. I tested a job in DEV and it ran successfully in DEV generating the fle on the N/w Share but I am confused as how SA account would have access to N/w share to run successfully this job.. Thoughts/ Comments ?

hi S,
I checked this post late, this is an issue with agent that it puts an extra “\ and \” at the end. Take this off from the sys.jobsteps of msdb. Track down the step name and go the command you will find all the connections strings…
let me know it does not work for you.
viren
Hi Viren,
I am getting the same CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTION error and am not able to see where the agent is putting the extra “\ at the end. Can you please provide details of where and how to check this?
Thanks

Hello,
May be you have to check connection managers. Open your Integration Services Catalog right-click and click “Configure”, there you will see Connection Managers for packages.
How to create ssis package.
Hi Pinal
Your answers and suggestions are really useful.
I need your help in the SSIS package i am developing to take the data from an excel file (source), and then matches the data with a table.the data which matches on a basis of a column should go in a diffrent excel file and the data which does not match, should go in another excel file.
I am trying to use Merge Join, is that the correct option i have picked, or i should do it another way. Please suggest.
I wanted to show you the data flow task but i am not able to paste the snapshot here.
i have taken the following things in the order:
1) Excel source file and also 1) OLEDB source fot the table
2) Data Conversion task and 2) sort for table
3)Sort for excel file
4) Merge which is taking input from 3) on the left side and also from 2) on the right side.
5)EXcel destination
BUt there is an error in step 4)
please help
Thanks
