Hi, actually SSIS Service is a windows service for executing and managing SSIS packages. It depends on your deployment model for SSIS packages if you really need it. The most usual way is to deploy to a folder and execute the package via dtsexec and sql agent. In this case you do not need this service and can stop it. The service relies on a xml configuration file.
