Hi, i'm using ssis 2014, vs 2013. i usually let the sql server assign my pkg start date by selecting getdate() in t-sql and assigning the resultst to a run date var.
i'm always thinking about reducing the number of components on my design pane and wondered today if setting the expression on a user:: var called rundate = the expression getdate() would set it only once even though the real value of getdate() is changing continuously all day?
i dont like combining functionality in the same component. so i usually have this as a separate execution task. i dont see a system var that is = start date of the pkg
