SQL Server 2017 also includes the features of SQL Server 2016 and the features added in SQL Server 2016 updates. For info about the new SSIS features in SQL Server 2016, see What's New in Integration Services in SQL Server 2016.

Highlights of this release

Here are the most important new features of Integration Services in SQL Server 2017.

  • Connectivity improvements. Connect to the OData feeds of Microsoft Dynamics AX Online and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online with the updated OData components.

New in Azure Data Factory

With the public preview of Azure Data Factory version 2 in September 2017, you can now do the following things:

  • Deploy packages to the SSIS Catalog database (SSISDB) on Azure SQL Database.
  • Run packages deployed to Azure on the Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime, a component of Azure Data Factory version 2.

For more info, see Lift and shift SQL Server Integration Services workloads to the cloud.

These new capabilities require SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) version 17.2 or later, but don't require SQL Server 2017 or SQL Server 2016. When you deploy packages to Azure, the Package Deployment Wizard always upgrades the packages to the latest package format.

New in the Azure Feature Pack

In addition to the connectivity improvements in SQL Server, the Integration Services Feature Pack for Azure has added support for Azure Data Lake Store.

Scale out for SSIS

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Scale Out provides high-performance execution of SSIS packages by distributing package executions across multiple computers. After you set up Scale Out, you can run multiple package executions in parallel, in scale-out mode, from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
