ssis package deployment

  • Hi,

    I have deployed an SSIS project that has one parent package which calls two child packages. want to deploy this project to sql server 2012. I use the sql server developer tools (VS 2010 shell) to disign my packages.

    My packages use OLEDB connection managers (different oledb connection managers for each package pointing to the same connection).

    I have set the expression for connectionstring property of each of these connection managers in every package. It looks like follows:

    "Data Source="+ @[$Project::DataSource] +";User ID="+ @[$Project::UserName] +";Pwd="+ @[$Project::Password] +";Initial Catalog="+ @[$Project::InitialCatalog] +";Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Persist Security Info=True;"

    I have 4 project parameters for data source, username, password and initial catalog.

    Now when I deploy the package to my local machine, (which has the same server name as I used while designing the package) it runs fine. For this, I had to create SQL server agent jobs for each of 3 packages and change the "Execute Child Package" task in the "Main Package" to "Execute SQL Server Agent Job" task.

    In the Job step properties >> Counfiguration tab >> Parameters for the Job for Main package, I set the parameter values to point to the server that I deployed the report on. But in the connection Managers tab, the values stay the same as the design time values.

    Is it something I have to set for every package? Is the overall design I did bad?

    The thing is, I want to be able to deploy the package on any server with minimal changes.

    I have gone through following links, but they explain the deployment and design for sql server 2008.

    I am a n00bie. Please correct me if I have used any term incorrectly.

    TIA.
