SSIS logging to SQL Server DB

Hello Everyone,

I am a novice to SSIS. I have created a package with few Sequence Containers and few Tasks within them. The package will be scheduled to run automatically and thus I want capture the run time errors and status like number of rows inserted/updated/deleted to my own logging table in the SQL database.

I was thinking of using the SSIS Logging to SQL Server feature to log the entries to the default tables and then create a SQL Task to insert them into my own logging tables. Is that a good way to do it? Or do you suggest other better ways?

Also I couldnot get the SSIS logging to work properly. I found an online blog () that describes the process to use SSIS logging to log entries to the SQL Server. However, unlike explained in the blog, I cannot see either the "dbo.sysssislog" or "dbo.sp_ssis_addlogentry" tables created in my SQL Server database. What must I be doing wrong? Here are the steps I followed -
    1. Went to SSIS Logging
    2. Selected Provider Type as SQL Server
    3. Added the OLEDB connection for Configuration
    4. Went to the Detail tabs on each sequence container and chose appropriate events
    5. Clicked "Save..."
    6. Provided the location and name for the XML file
    7. Saved the package and ran it.
Still cannot see those ssis table or procedure in the database. I am using SQL 2008R2.

Any suggestions and recommendations greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
