Hello everyone,
I have a small challenge that I'm facing.
CONTEXT: I am doing this project for this client where they are still using SQL Server 2008R2. There are three environments Dev, Test, and Prod, as the case usually is. However, these environments are down as instances of a SQL Server installation which is sitting on a single Windows Server. I am working on the SSIS packages that use SQL Server package configuration. I am trying to get an indirect configuration by using environment variables.
QUESTION: How do I set environment variables for different environments of instances sitting on only one Windows Server system? If there were three separate standalone servers I would have individual environment variables with the same name across all the three servers and just change the connection property. Does anyone have a better approach on how to configure SSIS packages for environments such as I have described above?
Please note that at the moment the client is using XML Configuration, which I’m finding to be so cumbersome and clunky with so many files scattered everywhere. I wanted to bring everything into one SQL table according to the environment.
Many thanks,
Mpumelelo
