Hello,
I am trying to migrate SQL maintenance plans from one server to another. The current server is Windows 2012 R2 Standard with SQL 2014 (12.0.4213.0) Standard. The new server is Windows 2016 Standard with SQL 2017 Standard (14.0.1000.169).
I have used SSIS to export a maintenance plan, modified the connection string in the DTSX file, then imported it into the new server. The import process succeeds and when I execute it (it is a backup job with a UNC path as the target), it completes successfully in 1 second but it does not do anything. The job history shows no entry.
Is there a better way to do this as I have over 50 maintenance plans to migrate? If I have to do this one by one, then what else do I need to do to make this work on the target server? Both servers are in the same network in the same domain with different names and IP's.
Regards,
Rudy
