SQL Server 2012 Integration Services has a new Integration Services Catalog (SSISDB) that is used for monitoring and managing SSIS projects. The Catalog will store all the integration services objects in SQL Server and will automatically log all the package execution activities when the SSIS project is using the new Project Deployment Model. The new deployment model takes advantage of the new SSIS Database, which is a new centralized repository for managing deployment projects. With the new database and catalog, SSIS provides better manageability over the packages. It also includes better performance tracking, and performance monitoring. It incorporates better logging freatures as well. And with the Catalog and the Project Deployment Model, versioning is automatically incoporated.
In order to use the new Project Deployment Model (click here to see how to deploy an SSIS project), you need to first create the Integration Services Catalog. In SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) locate the Integration Services Catalogs node. Right-click on it.
