You can add Integration Services (SSIS) to an existing SQL Server installation using the SQL Server Setup Wizard. Here's how:
- Launch SQL Server Setup: Locate the SQL Server setup executable (setup.exe) on your installation media or download it from the Microsoft website.
- Select Installation Type: Choose "New SQL stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation".
- Select Features: In the feature selection screen, check the box for "Integration Services".
- Complete Installation: Follow the remaining prompts to complete the installation process.
Important Note: While you can add SSIS to an existing SQL Server installation, SQL Server 2008 and earlier versions do not support adding features to an existing clustered instance. You will need to install the full SQL Server package to include Integration Services in a clustered environment.
Practical Tips:
- Backup your SQL Server instance before starting the installation process.
- Review the documentation: Consult the official Microsoft documentation for detailed instructions and troubleshooting tips.
Example: You have a SQL Server 2019 instance running with only the database engine features. To add SSIS, you would launch the SQL Server Setup Wizard, select the "Add features to an existing installation" option, and then check the box for "Integration Services" in the features list.
