Schedule SQL Server Integration Services Packages in BizTalk Server

  • Article

Users create BAM views based on data stored in an online analytical processing (OLAP) cube. The Cube Update Integration Services package refreshes the data in the cube so that OLAP views reflect the correct data.

You must run this package at least once for the OLAP views to work. For ongoing maintenance, you should schedule the package to run on a regular basis.

Important

If you restored the BAM Star Schema database or stopped SQL Server before running the Cube Update Integration Services package, you must refresh the data sources in SQL Server Analysis Manager or restart the OLAP service before you can run the package successfully.

You can schedule a saved package to execute at specific times, either once or at recurring intervals. For example:

  • Daily at midnight.

  • Weekly on Sunday at 06:00.

  • The first or last day of the month.

    A scheduled package is executed by SQL Server as a job.

    For information about running SQL Server packages, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=125738.

Note

By default, logging for archiving and cubing BAM SSIS packages is turned on and is stored in the msdb database. Overtime, this may result in a significant volume of SSIS event log data caused by large number of BAM activities or frequent execution of BAM owned SSIS packages. To resolve this, you can delete the old log entries because these entries are used primarily for debugging.

Prerequisites

You must be logged on as a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators group to perform these procedures.
