    Hi Urbel ,

    The SSMS Migrate SQL Server → New Assessment” tool only lists user databases and intentionally excludes system‑managed databases like SSISDB. SSISDB is part of the Integration Services catalog and isn’t assessed by the database migration component.

    SSIS compatibility and migration are handled separately (for example, by redeploying SSIS projects to the target SSIS Catalog or using SSIS‑specific migration tools), not through the SSMS database assessment wizard. So there’s nothing wrong with your SSMS installation.

    Thanks,

    Lakshmi.

    I don't know, but it could be that SSISDB is considered to be a system database and therefore is not subject to migration. I don't use SSIS myself, so I cannot investigate myself.

    It seems that the SSISDB database may not be appearing in your database selection for the migration assessment due to a few potential reasons:

    1. Compatibility: Ensure that the version of SQL Server you are using is compatible with the SSMS version and the migration component you have installed. The migration component in SSMS is designed to check for upgrade and compatibility issues, but it may not support all features of SSISDB.
    2. Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to access the SSISDB database. You need to have sysadmin permissions on the SQL Server instance to perform certain assessments.
    3. SSISDB Configuration: Make sure that the SSISDB is properly configured and that it is not in a state that would prevent it from being assessed. If there are issues with the SSISDB itself, it might not show up in the assessment tool.
    4. SSMS Version: Since you are using SSMS v22, ensure that you have the latest updates installed. Sometimes, bugs in earlier versions can cause unexpected behavior.

    If you've checked these factors and the issue persists, consider consulting the official documentation or support resources for further assistance.
