Raw file source/destination -- dynamic config possible?

  • I'm using SSIS RAW files in one application. However, I can't see how to dynamically configure them. There are no Expressions in the RF components that I can see and also not in the data flow properties.

    Specifically, I want to be able to configure the file path at run time.

    Any idea how to do that?

    Notice how there is a property of the raw file destination called 'Access Mode'. This can be set to 'File name from variable'. The rest is obvious, I suspect.

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

    Yup, that did it! Surprised I missed it. It's a little non-standard I guess (assuming anything is "standard")
