unable to log execution of package BIDS 2012 (SSIS)

Question

I have installed SSIS for VS2012 (SQL Server 2012) and I am able to create basic packages that run, however I am unable to get any of the logging to work. I have configured logging for text files and for the SQL Provider however, neither will log the execution of the package which is just a few SQL statements. I have configured all of the events to log in the details and in the advanced selections. The exec SQL tasks are in a Data Flow container, which I have also enabled logging. When I look for the table msdb.dbo.sysssislog it is there but it is empty. If I configure the file writer, it will not create a file, which I specified to be in \windows\temp to avoid any permission problems.

Answer 1

If you deploy your packages to SSIS Catalog, you can have access to a better logging system that is offered by SSIS2012. You can Right-Click on your project under Integration Services Catalog and Report All Executions. This is highly recommended and makes your DBA's life much easier. you can learn more about how to set this up here.
