sServerName

String

The name of the SQL Server instance where the packages reside. For the local server, use the server name or "."; "(local)" and "localhost" are not acceptable.

Returns

PackageInfos

A PackageInfos collection that contains PackageInfo objects.

Examples

The following code example enumerates properties from the packages found in the PackageInfos collection, which is retrieved from the Application object.

static void Main(string[] args)  
{  
    Application app = new Application();  

    PackageInfos pInfos = app.GetDtsServerPackageInfos(@"File System", "yourserver");  
    foreach (PackageInfo pinfo in pInfos)  
        Console.WriteLine(pinfo.Folder + " " + pinfo.Description);  
}  

Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)  
    Dim app As Application =  New Application()   

    Dim pInfos As PackageInfos =  app.GetDtsServerPackageInfos("File System","yourserver")   
    For Each pinfo As PackageInfo In pInfos  
        Console.WriteLine(pinfo.Folder + " " + pinfo.Description)  
    Next  
End Sub  

Remarks

This method connects to the SSIS Service to gather information about packages stored in the SSIS Package Store. It returns a PackageInfo object for each package stored in the specified logical folder. From the PackageInfo object, you can obtain the package's name, description, creation date, version, and additional information.
