Changing the standard names for SSIS components in BIDS

  • Hello,

    I’m working in a team that’s building and maintaining a bigger datawarehouse. We’re using a naming convention for tasks and components in SSIS, which I really like, especially as I’m the one who is usually responsible for crawling the logs if something goes wrong. But some of my co-workers are complaining about the extra work of remembering all the different prefixes and writing them by hand. So I have a question: does anyone know a hidden configuration or some addin for BIDS, that allows you to set the standard name for a component, when you drag it from the toolbox to your package (e.g. LU_ instead of lookup) ? I tried to rename the toolbox items, but when you drag something over, it still has the standard name.

    Thanks

    Lars

  • I don't believe this can be done. I actually think the DLL that contains the underlying component is what controls this.
