Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

After you specify and configure your data source and destination, the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard shows Save and Run Package. On this page, you specify whether you want to run the copy operation immediately. Depending on your configuration, you may also be able to save your settings as a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package to customize it and to reuse it later.

What's a package? The Wizard uses SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to copy data. In SSIS, the basic unit is the package. The wizard creates an SSIS package in memory as you move through the pages of the wizard and specify options.

The following screen shot shows the Save and Run Package page of the wizard.

Run and save the package

To continue, you have to select at least one of the following two options.

Run immediately
Select this option to import and export data immediately. By default, this check box is selected and the operation runs immediately.

Save SSIS Package
Save your settings as an SSIS package. Later you can optionally customize the package and run it again. If you choose to save the package, there are additional options on the next page, Save SSIS Package.

The option to save the package is available only if you have SQL Server Standard Edition or a higher edition installed.

Note

If you finish the wizard, run the operation, but stop the operation before it finishes running, the package is not saved, even if you selected the Save SSIS Package check box.

If you started the wizard from Visual Studio

If you started the wizard from an Integration Services project in Visual Studio with SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT):

You can't run the package until after you exit the wizard. Then you can run the package from Visual Studio.
The wizard saves the package in the Integration Services project from which you started the wizard.
