dtutil /FILE <name>.dtsx /DESTSERVER SQLServer /COPY SQL;<name>

To import multiple SSIS dtsx packages into SQL Server, you can use a combination of the DTUTIL utility and the FOR batch command to load each dtsx file in a directory.

Execute the following command at a command prompt or from a command or batch file.

FOR %i In (*.dtsx) DO dtutil /FILE %i /DESTSERVER SQLServer /COPY SQL;DTSX_%~ni

The five principle of SOLID programming are:
1. Single responsibility principle - an object should only have a single responsibility.
2. Open/closed principle - open for extension, but closed for modification.
3. Liskov substitution principle - defines a notion of substitution of mutable objects.
4. Interface segregation principle - many specific interfaces are better than one general purpose interface.
5. Dependency inversion principle - depend upon abstractions.  Also known as inversion of control.

For example, lets return a list of cubes for the Catalog1 SSAS catalog.

<Discover xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis">
  <RequestType>MDSCHEMA_CUBES</RequestType>
  <Restrictions />
  <Properties>
    <PropertyList>
      <Catalog>Catalog1</Catalog>
    </PropertyList>
  </Properties>
</Discover>

The MDSCHEMA_CUBES request type will return a list of SSAS cubes in XML format similar to the following.

<return xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis">
