File System and MSDB folders gone

This is terrible thing to happed at 4:30 pm on Friday!

I was working yesterday on some of deployment packages using file system (by the way, my msdb can not expand )

and just an hour ago I wanted to try some parent child deployment using file system.

but,

The only two folders I see in Integration services are Running Packages and Stored Packages. Nothing under those ones...

I have checked default location for File System (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Packages) and there are three packages there but these do not show in IServices.

And another question, if I execute package by double clicking on .dstx file should that make it show under File System?

thanks

Have you talked to the DBA? Sounds like access permissions, to me.|||

Hi Ljiljana,

1) Answer to Phils question - Yes ? goto (2). No ? Contact your Admin for the Privilleges mentioned by Phil.

2) Open the Services window, Restart your Integration Service Instance. Successful ? goto (3), No ? Check if the Service account has necessary privileges.

3) Log into your SSMS using your Integration Services Instance, You might see List of Packages in your Folder - Yes ? End of the Step, No ? goto 4)

4) Are you running Integration Services in a Cluster Environment (Note that IS is not cluster aware). Yes? Configure your Integration Services as described here.

Reply, if you are still having issues

Thanks

Hi and thanks all!

Subhash, direction you gave me with msDTSsrvr.ini.xml helped.

This is an article I came across before when I wanted to resolve issue with msdb not being able to expand.

I wanted to add that my previous question was no so clear as I was able to see File System and MSDB (not expandable) and the Friday afternoon they disappeared.

Now that I think about what I have done was following;

I copied piece of code under Configuration File for a Named Instance of SQL Server from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137789.aspx and added my server info. However, this has not changed anything for me as I forgot to restart SSIS.

Then on Friday mid day I shut down my PC and that is when that file kicked in creating more issues for me.

So I asked my coworker to send me his file and, except for server name where I had my info he had dot (.) the only other difference was following code (two last lines from the above link)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DtsServiceConfiguration xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

So I took these lines out, left my server info, restarted SSIS and it worked. All of it, including MSDB which I can expand now.

made me happy...
