Indirect Configuration With ConfigType 'Indirect SQL Server' Fails

Hi,

I have a package that uses a Configuration of type SQL Server where the property values are held.

This runs successfully using this direct configurations.

When I use an Indirect configuration using an environment variable to point to this SQL Server configuration type the package won't even validate.

The Indirect Configuration is:

[EHC-SQLD-01.].[SSISConfigsDEV];[dbo].[SSIS Configurations DEV];pkgLRD CED Import;

which follows the standard of : db connections, config table, filter

This works by the way on my client but on the dev server the error is:

Error: The connection "[EHC-SQLD-01].SSISConfigsDEV" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.

I've tried every combination for the env variable using quotes, full computer name etc (I thought it was the hyphens in the name), but can't seem to get it to work.

I've also tried as both user and system env variables but made no difference (which one should we use for SSIS anyway as BOL doesn't state this ?)

Appreciate any help. I'm trying to deploy this on the Dev server for testing.

Thanks
