I need to migrate SQL Agent jobs from ServerA to ServerB. Some Agent jobs call an SSIS package. I migrate jobs using the Transfer Jobs Task in a new SSIS package. I migrate/import SSIS packages from ServerA to ServerB
by right clicking on the MSDB node on the target server and selecting Import. How do I change the migrated Agent jobs and corresponding SSIS packages so they now point to ServerB instead of ServerA? If I edit the job step properties
of the migrated Agent jobs, there are several tabs including General and Data Sources. I can change the server name on the General tab. Also, looks like I can edit the connection strings of the Connection Managers that are listed
in the Data Sources tab. Does it matter that there are GUIDs in the connection strings? I.e., are those GUIDs somehow bound to the source server? Is there anywhere else I need to change the server name, or is there a better approach?
Bottom line is I don't want to have to open migrated SSIS packages, change the connection managers, save, and reimport. Thanks.
