Hi Experts,
After reading two links I am little confused and please clarify my doubt.
As per this link http://blogs.lessthandot.com/index.php/datamgmt/dbprogramming/mssqlserver/when-is-dtexec-installed/, we can execute packages only when we install Integration Services (DTEXEC works only after that).
As per this link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522532(v=sql.105).aspx, we can execute packages from DB Server if integration services is not present on same machine and packages will execute from server from which they were started (i.e. DB Server via job).
My scenario, I have DB server installed on machine A and SSIS server on machine B. I am creating sql agent job on machine A and pointing to packages stored in file system on SSIS server B. My confusion is since we did not install integration services on machine A (DB Server), how packages execute from here? Will the packages run from server A but use DTEXEC of server B? If I am not wrong SQL Agent Job also uses DTEXEC to execute the package so how does it work without integration services installed?
Thank you in advance!
