Marcin Policht shows you how to install and configureSQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 Integration Services.

We have introduced the basic concepts of SQL Server 2008 and2008 R2 (based on the November 2009 Community Technology Preview) IntegrationServices component, briefly describing its core features and primary characteristicsthat distingush it from its predecessors. That high-level overview was intendedto help with a basic understanding of the technology and its intended use. Now weturn our attention to more specific implementation topics, starting with theinitial setup and configuration.

While the installation of a SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2instance can be carried out in an unattended manner (for more information onthis subject, refer to the SQL Server 2008Books Online), it is likely that the majority of installations will becarried out interactively. Microsoft delivers this functionality via acollection of utilities and associated documentation grouped into SQL Server Installation Center. Itsinterface is divided in two areas, with Planning, Installation, Maintenance, Tools, Resources, Advanced, and Options categories displayed on the left andlinks to their respective tools and technical references appearing on theright.

Software prerequisites, whose presence can be verified usingthe SystemConfiguration Checker option (located within the Planning section) include, at theminimum, Windows Installer 4.5 and .NET Framework 2.0 (although specificsdepend the version of the host operating system as well as the edition of SQLServer).

If you are dealing with an existing instance of SQL Server2000 or 2005 (rather than planning a new setup), you should take advantage of Install Upgrade Advisor,which will notify you about any existing issues that should be resolved beforeproceeding.

The Installationsection gives you the ability to carry out a New installation or add features to an existinginstallation, run NewSQL Server failover cluster installation, Add node to a SQL Server failover cluster, Upgrade from SQL Server2000, SQL Server 2005, or SQL Server 2008 (in case of SQL Server 2008R2), as well as Searchfor product updates.

The first of these options takes you through severalpreliminary steps, including verification of Setup Support Rules, selection of a desiredproduct edition (which might require providing a relevant product key) and asetup role (in our case, SQLServer Feature Installation is most appropriate, although All Features With Defaultsis also a valid choice).

On the FeatureSelection page, in addition to selecting Database Engine Services, also include the Business IntelligenceDevelopment Studio, ClientTools Connectivity, and IntegrationServices entries (appearing in the Shared Features section). You also might wantto consider installing ManagementTools - Complete (which gives you access to the SQL Server ManagementStudio with its SSIS-related tasks, such as management of their storage and jobscheduling), ClientTools SDK (which installs .NET assemblies necessary for custom packagedevelopment), and ClientTools Backward Compatibility (in case you have legacy DTS packages youneed to maintain).

On the ServerConfiguration page, specify the name of the target instance and its rootdirectory location (note that there can be only a single installation of IntegrationServices on a given host operating system, regardless of a number of SQL ServerDatabase Engine instances). On the same page, assign service accounts (bydefault, SQL ServerIntegration Services 10.0 service uses NT AUTHORITYNetworkService built-in security principalfor this purpose), startup type (set it to Automatic), and collation.

The DatabaseEngine Configuration page is divided into three tabs. The first of them,labeled AccountProvisioning, determines the authentication mechanism (Windows authenticationor Mixed mode)and allows you to grant SQL Administrative privileges to an arbitrary Windowsuser. This is required when using Windows authentication since by default theseprivileges are no longer granted to the local Administrator's group. The secondtab identifies DataDirectories, including those hosting system and user databases, theirlogs, TempDB and its log, as well as the one intended for backups. The last taballows you to enable the FILESTREAMfeature (which, in essence, facilitates storing varbinary(max) binary large objects directlyin NTFS file system, rather than in a database) for Transact-SQL access and forfile I/O streaming access (with an option to provide the same capabilities toremote clients). Note that (as we will discuss in more detail), thisfunctionality is required to take advantage of sample databases that we will beutilizing throughout our future articles.

TheReady to Install page summarizes your choices giving you a final chanceto modify them before initiating the actual installation. Once the setupsuccessfully completes, download and apply all up-to-date product hotfixes (ifyou are installing SQL Server 2008, make sure to start with ServicePack 1).

There are some additional caveats to consider when operatingSQL Server Integration Services on the 64-bit operating system platform, hostedon Itanium or x64-based hardware. In particular, the former is limited to therun-time support for 64-bit packages only (this requires the choice of Management Tools - Completeduring setup, resulting in installation of such tools as dtexec, dtutil, and SQL Server Import and ExportWizard, but not dtexecuior the Business Intelligence Development Studio), which also effectivelyprevents it from being able to execute legacy DTS code. The latter isconsiderably more flexible, by not only offering the native version of BIDS,but also allowing you to add its 32-bit version (by either selecting Management Tools - Completeor BusinessIntelligence Development Studio option).

With both sets of tools installed, you should ensure thatyou run the intended version (one way to accomplish this is to specify theirfull path during invocation). While you will not be able to include existing32-bit DTS code as part of native 64-bit SSIS packages (via Execute DTS 2000 Packagetask), it is possible to do so when running in 32-bit mode on x64 systems, aslong as you have DTS run-time components present (this requires applying the proceduredescribed in msdn'sHow to: Install Support for Data TransformationServices Packages article in the SQL Server Books Online).Similarly, you will need to resort to 32-bit mode when using packages utilizingthe Jet and SQL Server Compact providers, as well as those that employ loggingto SQL Server Profiler (we will explore these topics in more details in ourfuture articles.).

When operating in a distributed Windows environment, youalso need to take into consideration the firewall settings of computers runningSQL Server components and management tools. (Starting with Windows Server 2008,all remote connections are blocked by default). Since an interaction withIntegration Services utilizes the DCOM mechanism, which relies on the availabilityof port 135 (via TCP protocol), you might need to define an appropriateexception to allow relevant network traffic to pass through. The procedureapplicable to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 is documented in msdn'sHow to: Configure a Windows Firewall for IntegrationServices Books Online article. If you are using Windows Server 2008or 2008 R2, you can accomplish the same result by modifying rules via the Windows Firewall withAdvanced Security interface (accessible via Administrative Tools menu) or netsh command lineutility (as described in msdn'sConfiguring a Windows Firewall for Integration ServicesAccess Books Online article). You will likely have to follow anequivalent procedure (but referencing a different set of protocol and portpairs) in order to allow Database Engine access. By default, such accessrequires TCP port 1433 to be opened (this setting is customizable). Similarly, theability to utilize SQL Server Browser relies on the availability of UDP port1434. (For more information regarding relevant configuration steps, refer to msdn'sHow to: Configure a Windows Firewall for Database EngineAccess article of SQL Server 2008 Books Online). Note that in eachof these cases, you should not only designate appropriate ports as open tocommunication via specific protocol, but also decide on the most secure networkscope (which might include all systems, local subnet, or a specific list of IPaddresses). More importantly, though, in order to allow remote access to SQLServer 2008 and 2008 R2, make sure to modify the default protocol settings bychanging status of TCP/IP to Enabledin the SQL ServerNetwork Configuration node of SQL Server Configuration Manager (accessible via Microsoft SQL Server2008Configuration Tools menu).

There is an additional configuration change (mentionedearlier) that is required in our case in order to facilitate the use ofAdventureWorks Data Warehouse database throughout our upcoming discussions onSQL Server 2008 Integration Services-related topics. Since sample databases areno longer incorporated in the source installation files, it is necessary todownload them from the CodePlexOpen Source Community Web site.

Their successful installation is contingent on a number ofprerequisites. More specifically, they depend on having installed the Full-TextSearch component (which you can add by employing the SQL Server Installation Center,accessible via ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQL Server 2008Configuration Tools menu), started SQL Full-text Filter DaemonLauncher service (managed from the SQL Server Services node of SQL Server ConfigurationManager also located in the Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server 2008Configuration Toolsmenu), and enabled FILESTREAM option (this can be accomplished either during installation,as described above, or afterwards, by turning on Enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL accessoption on the FILESTREAMtab of the target SQL Server instance Properties dialog box in SQL Server Configuration Manager and byrunning sp_configure filestream_access_level,1 followed by RECONFIGUREstatement).

Launching the self-extracting executable (AdventureWorks2008_SR4.exe)you downloaded will invoke the SQLServer 2008 Database Installer wizard. Once the wizard is running, onits Database Selectionpage, designate databases you want to become available. (For the purpose of ourpresentations, we will be using AdventureWorksData Warehouse 2008).

In our next article, we will take a closer look at thepackage creation process, relying on the Import and Export Wizard for this purpose, aswell as analyze its structure using the Designer interface in BusinessIntelligence Development Studio.
