dtexec Utility
• The dtexec command prompt utility is used to
configure and execute SQL Server Integration
Services packages. The dtexec utility provides
access to all the package configuration and

packages from three sources: a Microsoft SQL
Server database, the SSIS service, and the file
system.

deleting, moving, and signing packages. You
can also verify that a specified package exists.
The dtutil command prompt utility
includes the following features:

makes the command prompt action selfdocumenting and easier to understand.
