    when there 2 columns with the same name in the flow (from different components)

    the union all complains that the package contains 2 objects with duplicate name.

    Someone knows whats the best way 2 deal with it?

    Thanks ahead

    You can change the name of the data flow column to be different than the original source column. This will resolve the duplication issue.

    Not just Union All, there are other components that would have the same issue in case of duplicate column names. Its a better practice to keep column names unique as far as possible.

    Like 'ID', for example? Or 'Description'? Or 'State'?

    There are perfectly legitimate reasons for duplicate column names appearing in multi-table queries and qualifying or aliasing such column names to uniquely identify the ones which are required is also fine, IMO.
