Introduction: What is SSIS 275? In the world of enterprise data management, certain error codes, build numbers, or project identifiers take on a life of their own. For database administrators (DBAs), ETL developers, and data architects working within the Microsoft ecosystem, the alphanumeric sequence SSIS 275 is one such critical marker.
While many casual users might mistake it for a simple file number, most commonly refers to a specific SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) build version, a known issue error state, or a project deployment ID associated with the 2016-2019 era of Microsoft’s ETL platform. More specifically, in technical forums and patch documentation, "SSIS 275" often points to a build number tied to SSISDB catalog deployment conflicts or a specific error message: "The version of the installed product does not match the version expected" (Error Code 0xSSIS275...) .
| Environment | Typical SSIS Version | Build Number Example | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Developer PC (VS 2019) | SQL Server 2019 | 15.0.2000.275 | | On-Prem Server | SQL Server 2017 | 14.0.2020.295 | | | Mismatch | SSIS 275 error | Cause 2: Cumulative Update Rollbacks A sysadmin applies SQL Server CU14 (which updates SSIS to a new build) and then rolls back due to performance issues. The rollback does not properly revert the SSISDB schema. The SSISDB catalog now expects the newer 275+ build, but the ISServerExec.exe is an older version. Cause 3: Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime Staleness For cloud users, the Azure-SSIS IR has a specific version matrix. If you deploy a package built with SSIS 2019 (Build 275) to an Azure-SSIS IR still configured for SSIS 2017, the catalog rejects the deployment with a variant of the SSIS 275 mismatch. Part 3: Step-by-Step Troubleshooting for SSIS 275 Errors If you see the SSIS 275 error in your SSISDB deployment logs, follow this rigorous troubleshooting checklist. Step 1: Identify the Exact Version Mismatch Run this T-SQL query on your SQL Server instance to check the SSISDB catalog version: ssis 275
A: No. The SSIS catalog strictly validates the version. Ignoring it will result in a hard deployment failure (Error code: 0x8B2E0275).
SELECT major_version, minor_version, build_number FROM catalog.catalog_properties; On your development machine, check the version of Microsoft.SQLServer.IntegrationServices.dll (usually in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL ). If the server’s build_number is less than 275 (e.g., 247 or 260) and your local DLL shows 15.0.2000.275 , you have found the culprit. Step 3: The Three Fixes You have three options to resolve SSIS 275 : Introduction: What is SSIS 275
A: Standardize on the latest Cumulative Update across all SQL Server instances and development tools. As of 2025, ensure all SQL Server 2019 instances are on CU25 or higher to supersede build 275. Have you encountered the SSIS 275 error in your environment? Document the exact build numbers and share your resolution strategy in the comments below.
A: Yes. Ensure your Azure-SSIS IR’s version matches the SSIS version used in your Visual Studio SSIS projects. Check the IR node version via the Azure portal. While many casual users might mistake it for
| Server Name | SQL Version | SSIS Build | Last CU Applied | Allowed Dev Build | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | PROD-ETL-01 | SQL 2019 | 15.0.4236.275 | CU12 | <= 15.0.4236.275 | | DEV-ETL-01 | SQL 2017 | 14.0.3421.299 | CU31 | <= 14.0.3421.299 | Run a nightly PowerShell script that checks the SSISDB catalog version against your source control. If the server version falls behind the most recently checked-in .ispac version, the script emails the DBA team with a warning: "Potential SSIS 275 mismatch detected." Part 5: Advanced Scenarios – Beyond the Basic Error The SSIS 275 identifier also appears in less common but critical edge cases. The Scale-Out Manager Conflict SSIS Scale-Out for workers and the master node strictly require identical binary versions. If your master node is on build 275 , but one of your scale-out workers is on build 274 , the worker will fail to pick up jobs. The Scale-Out dashboard will log Error: SSIS Scale-Out Worker version mismatch (Expected: 275) . The SSISDB Restore Nightmare If you back up an SSISDB from a server running build 275 and restore it to a server running build 260 , the catalog will enter a "Recovery Pending" state. The only fix is to either upgrade the target server to build 275 or use the catalog.check_schema_version stored procedure to force a compatibility check (which rarely works cleanly). Docker and Containerized SSIS With Microsoft now supporting SSIS in Linux Docker containers (preview), the SSIS 275 error manifests as a container startup failure. The mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server image tags (e.g., 2019-latest ) include specific SSIS builds. If your .ispac expects build 275 but the container image is from a deprecated tag, the deployment will fail. Conclusion: Mastering SSIS Versioning The SSIS 275 keyword is more than just an error code; it is a sentinel warning about the fragility of enterprise ETL pipelines. It reminds us that data integration is not just about transforming rows, but about managing dependencies, binaries, and runtime environments.
