How to run a package within BIDS from a certain point in the package

  • I've written a package but need to test it in BIDS. The first x tasks take a long time to run. Is there any way I can set the package to run from a certain task midway through the package in BIDS. I'm aware of execute task (which will only execute the one task/container) and checkpoints that save where the package has got to when it fails, so it can be restarted from that point but I'm not sure how to set the package to run in development mode continuously from a certain point in the design.

  • The way i do this, is to disable (right click --> disable) the tasks i don't want to run and then execute the package as a whole.

  • Oh yeah! Didn't think of doing it that way. Thanks. Thought there would have been an Execute Remainder as well as an Execute Task/Container button!

  • yeah that would be a nice feature
