We have a query regarding SSIS instalattion on application server. As SQL Server 2008 R2 is getting out of life, DBAs are suggesting to install SSIS 2012. Now our concern is that our SQL Server DB Server is on 2008 R2, and developers are building packages using SSIS 2008.
Considering we deploy file packages, and backward compatibility, theoretically it shall work. There are 3 things here -
1. {2008 R2 SSIS Package} ------ Deployed On -------> 2. {Server with 2012 SSIS installation} ------- Connects to -------> 3. {SQL Server 2008 R2 DB Instance}
Any recommendation on this. Would it work? Anything which could cause issue?
As we have to pay for license, do not want be in a situation where we pay for SSIS 2012 installation on server (#2 above) and then realize that there is some issue
