Bit old school, having been spoilt by SQL Server 2012 and the changes to SSIS that brought with it. Deploying stuff in Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS) is less user friendly than I recall. Had to deploy about 20 SSIS packages to the SSIS instance, and the import dialog using SSMS is OK for one or two packages, but i wanted to do them all with out repetition. So it was time for old school command line stuff using DTUTIL, which is still around even in the coming SQL Server 2016.

In this example i’ve already created a folder in the localhost/Stored Packages/MSDB location called ‘SSIS_Folder’, and running a cmd window from the SSIS Package location. Lets break it down:

This bit just loops though all items in the folder that have a ‘.dtsx’ extension, good old ‘for’. ‘in’ & ‘do’. ‘%I’ is just the variable that holds the file name.
for %I in (*.dtsx) do

The next bit is the good stuff, this calls dtutil and copies the package using the variable ‘%I’ to the folder SSIS_Folder to the destination server ‘localhost’

Nice and easy, completes in seconds. If you need to deploy the same files again you can run the command again and it will prompt you to overwrite with a Y/N prompt, to suppress this prompt and automatically overwrite the package add ‘/Q’ (For Quiet) at the end of the command.
