I created a project with multiple packages. I created a global config file that all packages reference. I also created a config file for each package that contains the package specific settings. I checked it all into TFS. I went to a different machine and checked it all out. Upon loading a package into the IDE I got the following 3 warnings.Warning loading MT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsx: The configuration file "MT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsConfig" cannot be found. Check the directory and file name. e:contentloadersprint1aMT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsx Warning loading MT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsx: The configuration file "Environment.dtsConfig" cannot be found. Check the directory and file name. e:contentloadersprint1aMT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsxWarning loading MT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsx: Failed to load at least one of the configuration entries for the package. Check configurations entries and previous warnings to see descriptions of which configuration failed. e:contentloadersprint1aMT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsxAny ideas??? And yes, the files *ARE* there! I tried building the project and it builds. I also tried doing a deployment build and that too built. I am so confused!!!

Hi all
For selecting different load targets we use package configurations to override the connection parameters in the connection manager.
To organize the different tasks we splittetd our load processes into multiple package files (dtsx) which are then put together into a workflow using "Execute Package Task" component.
With the option /CONFIGFILE its possible to override the configuration file for the package that is called with DTExec. Unfortuanetly it does not override the configuration of subpackages calles by the "Execute Package Task".
Are there some ways to configure subpackages on the command line?

Hi --I was wondering if this is a bug when I add new data in my table SSIS Confiurations and give wizard a new Configuration filter the package configuration wizard can not see the new values --the old values from the previous configuration are still showing---is there any known workaround or forced refresh I can do

Hi,
I am planning to develop a single package that will download files from ftp server, move the files to internal file server and upload it in the database. But I want to run this package for multiple ftp file providers. For each provider the ftp server might be different and the transformation to upload the files into a database table might be different.
So can I create a single package and then multiple configuration files (xml), which will contain the details fo the ftp file providers and then pass the xml file as a parameter while executing the package. The reason being that the timings of fetching the files is different for each ftp file provider and hence cannot be combined into one.
Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.

Deployed Report having SSIS package as source do not work when Indirect Package configuration is used in ETL package. It seems ETL package when called/executed from Report manager does not recognize environment variable to pick up the dtsconfig file.
The Report works when Direct package configuration is used to same dtsconfig file.
What could be the reason? Any solution for this? This will cause our build/deployment to QA and Prod very difficult.

Hi guys,
Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.
However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.
When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.
How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?
Hope someone could help. Thanks.

Hi,
I am having a hard time grasping how to use configuration files.
Here's an example:
I created a simple package (one execute sql task) that simply does a "select * from xyz". Table xyz only exists on Server 1.
I then created a configuration file, the only setting being the ole db connection manager which is pointing to Server 1. I then went into the file and added the "password=zzz" since it's a sql server login.
When I run the package it worked.
Next, I went into the configuration file I just created and had it point to another server, Server 2, thinking this would now cause the execute sql task to fail since table xyz does not exist on Server 2.
But it's still running succesfully. What's the deal here? Shouldn't changing the configuration file settings cause the package to now fail?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am using XML Configuration Files to configure my package connections, but when i use them on a Database Transfere Task every time i try to open those packages on a different machine from the one in which it was created i got the following error:
Validation error. «Connection_name» : The Validate method on the task failed, and returned error code 0x80131501 (Failed to connect to server «Defined Server».). The Validate method must succeed and indicate the result using an "out" parameter. «Package Name»
Anyone knows why?

Hi,
I€™m having
some issues associated with the configuration files that I can€™t understand:
-
Having
a project with several packages using the same connections in each one (some
packages use all connection and others I just have some of them), why can€™t I use
only one configuration file for all project. Assuming that I would have to
configure all packages at least I would like to use always the same file. On
the other way I would need 100€™s of configuration files (one per package) to
configure always the same connection, just because not all the packages use
exactly the same connections.
-
Having
a configuration file on a machine, the package saves the full path, even if the
configuration file lays in the same path them the project. When I change my
project to another machine that doesn€™t use the same file structure forces me
to open every package and change the configuration file location.
Having 100€™s of packages and a team of
developers, even using the source safe, this makes the task just a little difficult
Thanks,
VĂtor Ferreira

I would like to standardize SSIS development so that developers all start with the same basic template. I have set it up so it is an available template ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908018 ) but I would like it to be the default when a new project or package is created. Is this an option?

I am deploying SSIS packages using the deployment utility. We are starting to use configuration files for storing connection information. I have the configuration files in a directory on the server I am deploying the packages to, I want all new packages deployed to use these files. When I deploy a new package it wants to overwrite the config files on the server with the ones in the package. I have tried to remove the .dtsconfig file from the package deployment folder but then the package will not use the config files on the server. How do you deploy a package and get it to use the .dtsconfig files that are already on the server?

I have a package with a corresponding configuration file.
If I open Sql server management studio and i connect to SSIS and right click to import a package, and then select to store the package in SQL Server (not on the file system)....
What happens with the configuration file?
Does the import take the values from the configuration file and place them in the package which then is stored in SQL Server?
Or do I need to put the configuration file someplace on the SQL Server where the package is imported so it can access it when it runs?
I'm a bit confused about what goes on there?
For example, I tried using the build command and then running the manifest file to import using the wizard and when it does that it copies the configuration files to a default location within the c:program filesmicrosoft sql server directory.
Thx.

Hello,
I am having a bit of trouble with SSIS Configurations.
- In BIDS, I have added a configuration file and specified the properties I want to expose.
- When I build the project, I get the standard bindeployment folder which contains the package file (.dtsx), the configuration file (.dtsconfig) and the deploymentmanifest.
- Before deploying the package, I edit the config file to have the settings I want it to for the environment I am deploying to.
- The package deploys OK
- When I work directly on the SSIS server (64 bit), I can go into SQl Mgt Studio, choose 'run package' and when I look in the connection manager window all the settings are as I desire ( I havent had to add a configuration file manually)
- When I work on a client machine, I connect to the SSIS server and choose 'run package' - the properties/connections are the same as on the server but the values themselves are completely different.
Why is this? Why when I run the package from the client (32 bit) do the configuration values appear to be completely different? How can I run the package remotely and pick up the configuration values that I deployed with?
Or have I misunderstood this whole configuration function?
Please, please help!

Can someone tell me why path to the configuration file couldn't be relative to the package? When I try to use relative path (i.e. do not specify full path to the configuration file) package then run from BIDS looks for configuration file in the solution folder instead of package's folder (project folder).
Is there ane way to force package use same folder to search for caonfiguration files?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
How to change dynamically the connection properties for a DTSX?
Imagine that you launch a SSIS and under a several rules the same connection is reused with four or five different databases.
I know that I can attach a configuration file or more than one but how to tell to SSIS which use in every moment?
Thanks in advance and regards,

Please forgive me if my question is pre-emptive (as in, I haven't throughly researched this yet), but I'd like to know in advance the following question:
Q. When scheduling SSIS jobs to run packages (in msdb), do I specify a configuration file in the job? Is this how one uses the configuration file? Or is the configuration file "configured" at the SSIS package level, before you schedule the job? Or both?
Also, is there a good link on this topic? I'm already afraid I'm going to be confused!
Thanks much!

Hi Guys,
Here's the current scenario:
I am creating a windows application to manage my ssis packages.
My SSIS packages use package configurations, and by default connect to the "SSIS Configurations" table in sql server.
However, I want it to connect to a view instead of this table, so i create a view "vwSSIS_Configurations" and point the package configuration to use the view in sql server.
The application SHOULD be capable of altering the package configuration's configuration and switch its connection between the default "ssis configurations" table, and the view.
Is this possible? I cannot think of a way which I can have my application switch the package configuration's connection.
Thanks,
kervy

http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/default.aspx has a lot of great tid-bits for SQL 2005. I am currently on a tight deadine for 25 SSIS packages that need to be able to move from Dev to QA to Staging to Prod. For the life of me I cannot get any of the packages to *READ* the config files created with the package config wizard. All I want to do is move the connection string out of the package so we can change the config file and not have to touch (hand edit) each package. Any help is appreciated!

Wondering if I could get some feedback from 'you All' on how you use the Reporting Services configuration files.
Specifically, I'm interested in -
1) Have you ever made changes to the configuration files? (Yes/No; if Yes - how often?)
2) What if any operations you commonly do in the files? (list)
3) Do you script or otherwise have automated solutions for updating these files? (Yes/No; if Yes - in what scenarios; if No - did you try to?)
Any other feedback about the configuration files is also welcome.
Thanks,

I am hoping someone with more experiencing deploying packages from dev to other environments can help me out here. When developing in BIDS everything works fine. When I deploy I want to use a configuration file. This does seem to work fine by specifying the configuration file on the DTEXEC command. However, if it is specified incorrectly the package STILL executes using the information it was created with. I am attempting to control things like connection strings and passwords via configuration files so that I can take the same package and deploy to different locations and have it run against different sources and destinations. What I am afraid of is that things could easily get screwed up if the configuration file gets moved or renamed, or if the dba that is scheduling the job (outside of sql agent using a different job scheduler on a machine that only has the SSIS service) messes up typing the config file name. Shouldn't it fail if you specify an invalid parameter. Isn't there a way to make it do that? Any help or insight is appreciated. BTW I have used environment variables as well and the issue is the same. If it cannot locate it, it still will execute.

Hello,
Here is the scenario.
I'm using SSIS and SQL 2005
I have two dtsx packages. Lets call them TESTA.dtsx and TESTB.dtsx. I've enabled using XML package configurations on both.
TestB.dtsx pulls some data from a table and writes it to a flat file.
TestA.dtsx calls TestB.dtsx.
For the test I changed the TestB fileoutput connection string to save to a different location.
When I run TestA.DTSX using DTEXEC. TestB's configuration file is not being used.
How do I kick off TestA.dtsx and specify a package configuration for test b?
I tried manually copying the Config parameters from TESTB's config file to TESTA.
When I run TESTB directly from DTEXEC and pass in it's config file as an argument it runs fine.

Hi, I hope someone can help me! I changed the TCP port that the default instance of SQL 2005 x64 SP1 is listening on and now SQL server won't start as the port is being used - no problem I say to myself, I'll just change it again, however I can't!
My problem is that I can not change the TCP Port back again using Configuration Manager - no matter what values I put in, after a restart of the instance it comes up with this in the IP Addresses tab for TCP/IP Properties and SQL Server won't start:
IP1
Active Yes
Enabled No
IP Address aaa.bbb.ccc.111
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port 0
IP2
Active Yes
Enabled No
IP Address aaa.bbb.ccc.222
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port 0
IP3
Active Yes
Enabled No
IP Address aaa.bbb.ccc.333
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port 0
IP4
Active Yes
Enabled No
IP Address 10.1.1.1
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port 0
IP5
Active Yes
Enabled No
IP Address 127.0.0.1
TCP Dynamic Ports
TCP Port 0
IPALL
TCP Dynamic Ports 2020
TCP Port 2020
Interestingly, the ip address that the server is listening on aaa.bbb.ccc.444 is not reported in the list of IP addresses in the configuration manager for this instance, yet it is when I view the available IP addresses for the other two instances - is this significant?
I have tried failing to the other node, changing it there, changing it at the console and also while logged onto the the virtual machine remote desktop, rebooting both nodes, etc, etc. There are two other instances on this cluster that are still working fine but I hvae not attempted to change the TCP ports they listen on.
I used the same method to change this default instance as I did for a named instance on a similarly configured cluster and it worked fine. How to fix this?

Hello,
I need some clarification. I am trying to utilize the XML Direct Configuration in my SSIS packages to utilize database connections in the package. I am wanting to utilize this the same way you could use UDLs in the SQL Server 2000 DTS packages.
Currently, I am creating the dtsConfig file and saving it to my desktop. I then modify it with notepad and add the following configuration where it looks like this:
<DTSConfiguration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConnectionName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=[ServerName];Initial Catalog=[DBName];Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
</DTSConfiguration>
Once this is created, I am trying to "re-use" this in SSIS packages created moving forward, where they all point to this configuration for the same database connection.
What I don't understand is when "Enabling Package Configuration" and then pointing to this dtsConfig file doesn't create a connection in "Connection Manager" NOR does it provide a way to create a blank connection and point to this configuration.
I feel like I am missing something thats so "great" about XML configuration files. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel Lackey

Hello,
I have several packages that share one configuration file located at a network location. Up until i installed sp2 everything worked fine, but now the packages "loose" the path to the configurationfile. It is replaced by some c:programsqlserverpackage.... path where no config file is located.
I can run packages if i specify the config file explicetly, but I really don't wanna do that, since it will not work in the context i'm working.
I am using the wizard to install my packages.
Anyone with similar problems ? Any help appriciated.
Note: This is not the issue that sp1 solved (for me at least). =)

I have created an Integration Services package on my development machine. The package contains a configuration file witch let's say is stored in c:projectsMyIntegrationServicesProjectmyConfigfile.dtsConfig (on my dev machine).
Then I have another "Production" machine where I import the SSIS package into an SQL database. I then create an sql-job with only one step, to run my SSIS package. This works fine if I configure the step to be an "SQL Integration services package" and configure it to use my configurationfile.
However I would like to configure this package as a CmdExec step. In the commandline, I specify /CONFIGFILE "d:....myConfigfile.dtsConfig" (the correct path on the prod machine). But it seems to be ignored, because when I execute the package I get an error telling me that the configuretion file c:projectsMyIntegrationServicesProjectmyConfigfile.dtsConfig cannot be found.
What I try to say is, it seems like it ignors the config-file I specify on the command-line and tries to reach the config-file on a location that's probably stored somewhere in the SSIS package from the time it was created on my development machine.
Is there a way around this?

Hi All
€™m just starting out with SSIS and am trying to establish architecture standards that are sound and workable. We will be developing BI solutions for customers who use our banking and finance package that runs on an IBM System i. Modularity is important as all our BI solutions will have a combination of re-used functionality along with varying degrees of unique functionality for each customer. My current area of interest is in externalizing all environmental factors and ensuring such things as passwords are protected.
I understand how configuration files work and how to use environment variables to provide a layer of indirection to them. At this stage we want to avoid encryption of packages and plan to use file system based deployment. We plan to use windows security for SQL server so I have no issue in exposing connection info here but for our DB2 connections we need to include user id and passwords. As I understand it, configuration files can not be encrypted so how do I store this externally while preserving its security. Nothing I have read so far has given me exactly what I need.

I nabbed a couple from some recent installs I did, and, assuming I can get my SAN guy to always give drives the same letter assignment, it looks fairly useful.
There's still a bunch of additional stuff to do, like turn on instant file initialization, size/create additional tempdb files, and set up alerts and database mail, etc.
Can the configuration file be expanded to handle any of that? Do you use something else to template/automate your SQL installs? The more I do it, the less I want to keep doing it.
