You can watch the replay for this Geek Sync webcast in the IDERA Resource Center: http://ow.ly/f22750A5ptU SQL Server 2012 redefined how SSIS packages are stored and executed. The advent of the SSISDB catalog gives a central point for working with SSIS projects deployed to the server. From this catalog we can set project and package parameter, configure environments, and monitor execution. There is no need to build in package logging because Microsoft had done it for us.
