Examples

The following code example saves the sample package named ExecuteProcess.dtsx to the msdb folder, with a new name of myNewPackage. 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 specified in packagePath will be listed.

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
           // The variable pkg points to the location
           // of the ExecuteProcess package sample 
           // that is installed with the SSIS samples.
            string pkg = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Integration Services\Package Samples\ExecuteProcess Sample\ExecuteProcess\UsingExecuteProcess.dtsx";
            
            Application app = new Application();
            Package p = app.LoadPackage(pkg, null);

           // Save the package to the SQL Server msdb folder, which is
           // also the MSDB folder in the Integration Services service, or as a row in the
           //sysssispackages table.
