Dear Microsoft Support Team,

I hope you are doing well.

Our team is currently running SQL Server 2019 and using SSIS packages developed in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) 2012. We are planning to migrate our environment to SQL Server 2022, and we would like to request guidance regarding the proper migration path.

Specifically, we would like to clarify the following points:

What is the recommended approach for migrating SQL Server 2019 to SQL Server 2022?

What is the best practice for upgrading or migrating SSIS packages currently developed in SSIS 2012 to be compatible with SQL Server 2022?

Are there any compatibility issues, deprecated components, or known limitations that we should be aware of during the migration?

Do you have official documentation or tools that you recommend for this scenario (e.g., SSIS package upgrade tool, migration assistant, or best-practice checklist)?

We would appreciate your advice, including any preparation steps, testing guidelines, or Microsoft-recommended migration procedures.

Thank you very much for your support. We look forward to your guidance.

Best regards,
Tippawan S

    To migrate from SQL Server 2019 to SQL Server 2022, you can directly upgrade your existing SQL Server 2019 instance to SQL Server 2022. This is a supported upgrade path, and you can follow the standard upgrade procedures outlined in Microsoft documentation. Here are some key points to consider:

    1. Recommended Approach for Migration: You can perform a direct upgrade from SQL Server 2019 (15.x) to SQL Server 2022 (16.x). Ensure that you review the pre-upgrade checklist, which includes verifying supported hardware and software, enabling Windows Authentication for SQL Server Agent, and ensuring that there are no pending restarts.
    2. Upgrading SSIS Packages: For SSIS packages developed in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) 2012, you will need to upgrade them to be compatible with the newer version of SQL Server. Microsoft provides an SSIS package upgrade tool that can assist in this process. It is advisable to test the upgraded packages thoroughly to ensure they function as expected in the new environment.
    3. Compatibility Issues and Deprecated Components: While migrating, be aware of any deprecated features or components in SQL Server 2022. Review the documentation for any known limitations or changes that may affect your SSIS packages or SQL Server functionalities.
    4. Official Documentation and Tools: Microsoft provides various resources for migration, including the SQL Server Migration Assistant and best-practice checklists. You can find detailed guidance on the SQL Server upgrade process and the tools available for SSIS package migration in the official documentation.
    5. Preparation Steps and Testing Guidelines: Before migration, ensure that you back up your databases and SSIS packages. After migration, conduct thorough testing of all functionalities, including performance testing and validation of data integrity.

    For detailed guidance, you can refer to the official Microsoft documentation on upgrading SQL Server and migrating SSIS packages.
