Constantly using ‘Save a Copy As..’ in BIDS to save a SSIS package to the server annoys me to no end. Does MSFT actually use this crap?

DTUTIL.exe is a tool that comes in your 90\DTS\binn folder. Check this out:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn>

dtutil /En SQL;subfolder\packagename;5 /Fi “C:\
Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ProjectName\blah\
PackageName.dtsx” /DestServer devserver

note: For the first option (/En), the subfolder does not need to include the MSDB folder which you will see when browsing SSIS.

Paste that into your cmd window and you’ll be saving with two keystrokes. Your options may change, but with the help of the online docs, you’ll be happier.

If dtutil isn’t recognized you aren’t in the proper directory. You can also add the binn directory to your PATH variable. Find the PATH variable and add “;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn” to the end of the string. Note the semicolon at the start.
