Execute Multiple 2008/2005 SSIS Packages with a T-SQL

If you want to execute a set of SSIS packages in SQL Server 2008 or 2005, you can do this using T-SQL. First you will  need a table with all of your package names on it. Then a While loop to execute each package.

Here is the example code:

Declare @FilePath varchar(2000)
Declare @cmd varchar(2000)
DECLARE @package_name varchar(200)
Declare @PackageCount int
Declare @X int
Set @X = 1
Set @PackageCount = (Select COUNT(*) from Packages)
set @FilePath = ‘C:\Package Path\’
While (@X <= @PackageCount)
Begin
With PackageList as
(
Select PackageName, Row_Number() Over(Order by PackageName) as  Rownum
From Packages
)
SELECT @package_name = PackageName
FROM PackageList
Where Rownum = @X

select @cmd = ‘DTExec /F “‘ + @FilePath + @Package_name + ‘”‘
print @cmd
Set @X = @X + 1
exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
End

In the new version of SSIS 2012 you will be able to launch packages with T-SQL Natively.
