I'm making a new SSIS package for a project. I click "New Package" and new package file under the project is made with default name Package1.dtsx. The .dtproj project file is updated to include this package. Then I rename the package to the name it's supposed to have "Publish_File.dtsx" but the .dtproj file doesn't update with this new name. Then it fails at compile time because the package I made isn't in the scope of the project and so doesn't have the project-level connection managers. I can't directly edit the .dtproj file because it doesn't have any information until it's built. Does anyone know how to change the name referenced in the .dtproj file to be my file name instead of Package1.dstx?

I currently have a file watcher set up in CA Workload Automation AE. This watcher copies a file to a file share. I need to create an command task that
starts when the file watcher completes (This is done) and executes and SSIS package passing the file name that was copied as one of the parameters.
My issue is that I cannot find a way to get the file name to pass.
I have File System Task in my package which copy a folder from source location to destination. At destination, if that folder doesn't exist, it's newly created.
I want SSIS to pick latest folder (using time-stamp) from directory as source and create new folder with same name at destination via File System Task.
Example: I have D:\Folder 1\SourceFolder copy to G:\Folder 1\SourceFolder.
Can somebody help me to figure out.
I'm quite confused as to how to create a deployment in SSIS 2008 that I can use throughout the various sites we are going to deploy to. I'm using the deployment utility to deploy my ETL packages which are file based and executed using a SQL job.
When I rebuild my solution, the deployment files are created along with their configuration files which I bind my connection strings to. I've discovered that each of the packages are still referencing the configuration files in my project folder, rather than the configuration files in the deployment folder. I thought that when I created a deployment, the paths referencing the configuration files would be relative paths.
Ideally, what I would have liked to have been able to do would be to copy the contents of the deployment folder to a flash drive, plug it in at the site I'm deploying to and edit the configuration file per the customer site, execute the deployment manifest file in the folder and expect everything to work. But this doesn't seem to be the case.
I also notice that the SQL job has an option to specify the configuration files for the packages, but this doesn't seem to have an effect either. I must clearly be doing something wrong here, please could someone assist.
Seems like you are encountering these two issues with SSIS deployment and execution:
Configuration file references are stored with absolute paths (meaning the concrete path used in the development environment when the configuration file reference was created, and in production this is the same path that will be used).
Specifying a different configuration file at runtime in SSIS 2008 cannot override values specified at design time (see Understanding How SSIS Package Configurations Are Applied at Run Time).
To deploy your packages with a simple file copy the way you describe, you must change your packages to use a relative reference to your configuration files:
Right click the package file and select View Source to open the XML view of the package source. Search for your configuration file, which will include the path, and remove the path; keeping only the filename portion. Alternatively, change the absolute path to a relative path to the configuration file. Save and close the XML view of the package.
Now when you deploy the package and the configuration file together, ensuring they have the same relative location to each other, the package will find the config file by the relative path, and work the way you expect.
Note: from this point forward you will need to open the BIDS IDE by double-clicking on the project or solution file. If you launch Visual Studio, and then open the project or solution from within the IDE, the IDE will not be able to find the configuration file when you execute the package (the current directory will be Windows\System32, not your package folder).
I am trying to commit my SSIS package to Git and I'm running into an issue with adding the Script Component code files. I have my SSIS package within my Git repository location, but the code file is located in the AppData folder as such:
C:\Users\Jeremy\AppData\Local\Temp\Vsta\SSIS_SC110\Vstak5QLNZovpE__2Hp8ieeyROw\Vsta_luuBHnd9ka0dNruaTdUoQ\main.cs
I would like to add the entire SSIS package to Git so others can use the SSIS package on the team. Does anyone know how to add the "Script Component" files to the repository?
Hi this is the usual behavior of the Visual Studio. When you open up a script task it will be added to a temporary location. while opening it will go to a temporary location to edit.
Once you clean and build the application it will be available inside of the .dtsx package. You have to commit the entire project and for a new user who get a pull will get the code without any issue.
I have to create a new folder every time my SSIS package is run.
I was able to do that using a new connection with ConnectionManagerType = FILE and ConnectionString = C:\Test.
I am using this connection string with a file system task that checks if the folder is already there then it will do nothing else it will create a new folder.
Every thing is running fine till here.
The issue is that now I need to create a new folder depending on the configuration selected while running the package
say if UAT is selected
then the folder name should be c:\Test_UAT, for configuration type =Development the folder name should be c:\Test_Development
Please help me achieving this.
and please be a little specific since I m very new to SSIS
U need to define the expression for the File connection Manager
1.Create a variable Configuration of data type String
2.Right Click on the File Connection Manager which you have created and select Properties
3.Click the expression and in the dialogue box select the connection string property
4.Click the expression and write the folder location
5.The File System Task will have the following configuration.In the source connection select the File connection manager which you have created
If you change the Configuration value to Test or Development ,appropriate folders will be created in the location specified above
Updated :
To add the variable in the configuration Just click on SSIS Package Configuration .Edit your configuration file .Select the variable and click the value checkbox
Once the configuration is done ,you can the change the value in the xml config file and that will get reflected in SSIS during runtime
