Hi all,
I'm fairly new to SSIS. I have a group of packages (one parent, four children) which mostly call sprocs so that they run in parallel. I have a dev server and a live server and their structures are identical. I have used shared data sources, so that I can redirect all the packages from one source to another easily (I hope).
I've used the Configuration Manager to add a Live configuration as well as a Development one. When using the Live configuration I want the data sources to point at my Live server (with the same DB names). When using Dev I want them to point at my dev server. When deploying, I want the files to deploy to \\<servername>\SSIS.
Is there a way to set this up. I really don't want to have to change the data sources each time I repoint from dev to live or vice versa.
Lastly, is there a way to simply deploy directly into the server instead of having to create dtsx files? I don't have to create additional files to deploy tables or functions, stored procedures or reports. Surely IS works the same way, although I cannot figure out how.
I'm sure other people will have asked the same questions. If someone could point me to the existing answers, that'd be great.
Many thanks,
Mark
