ssis package with linked server connection.

  • Hi

    I have a package that I've developed in the local environment and used linked server to simulate what I need to do in the production server which the client (company) is hosting.

    the package is running perfectly in the local server cause I have access to the linked server '[PRODS-TOOLBOX\PRAGMA]' i'm connecting to, but now my problem is I need to build the package and deploy it in another server.

    I need a way to be able to change the sql query on my dataflow from :

    SELECT * FROM [PRODS-TOOLBOX\PRAGMA].LangerHeinrich.dbo.MeterReadings AS mr

    REMOTE SERVER

    SELECT * FROM [19-AIS-004\VIJEOHISTORIAN].VijeoHistorianCPSData.dbo.RunHours AS mr

    so that I can deploy the package.

  • Create a string parameter in your package and set it to the query string.

    Change your dataflow source to use what's in the parameter, not the hard-coded query.

    Use different configurations to control the value of the parameter, depending on where the package is running.

  • By the way, SSIS is quite happy to handle direct connections to servers (ie, there may be no need to use a linked server within SSIS itself).

  • thanks for the response.

    How do I create a string parameter? another thing I do have to create linked servers cause this server are hosted by my client. I use vpn connection to connect to them.

    the scenario here is like this:

    server 1 where the interface will be deployed

    server 2 - where I have to extract data from and import to server 1

    I connect to server 1 using vpn connection where I created the linked server for server 2 to get data from the table :[19-AIS-004\VIJEOHISTORIAN].VijeoHistorianCPSData.dbo.RunHours .
