Where is the msdb database for standalone SSIS Servers


I am working on a DWH application. The server I was granted access to only has SSIS installed with no database engine. I am getting errors like:

The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_ssis_listfolders', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'.

I need to verify the permissions on the database engine and on the msdb. Is there a way how to find which server is configured to host the msdb database?


Solution

  • Found it!

    It is hidden in a configuration file in the installation folder of SSIS. Browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn then look for the file called MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml. The server name is just sitting there, and can be changed as you wish.
