Ch 15, section Pipeline Execution Reporting, mentions an Execute Package Window without any explanation of how this window may be accessed. Googling SSIS "Execute Package Window" I came across some help. There seem to be a lot of steps involved, and as of this time I have only executed the following:

In SSMS, Object Explorer, I rt-clicked Integration Service Catalogs and selected 'Create Catalog' and left SSISDB as the name of the catalog database. I unset the 'Enable automatic execution of ..." because automatic execution of anything seemed dangerous. Object SSISDB was created beneath Integration Services Catalog. I rt-clicked SSISDB and selected "Create Folder ..." and entered Test as the folder name.

Folder Test was create beneath SSISDB and this folder had subfolders Projects and Environments. Rt-clicking Projects brings up 'Import Package ...' and 'Import Packages ...' menu items, both of which execute wizards. At this point, which should be done is uncertain.

Does anyone have experience with this?
