To establish a complete migration plan, a thorough assessment will help identify issues with the source SSIS packages that would prevent a successful migration.

 

Data Migration Assistant (DMA) is a freely downloadable tool for this purpose that can be installed and executed locally. DMA assessment project of type Integration Services can be created to assess SSIS packages in batches, identify compatibility issues and provides recommendations to help you address those issues.
