I have been debugging a SSIS application which has a parent package which calls several child packages in its execution. What I have noticed when I run the app in BIDS it doesn't always display the child packages when it is running them. For example say I have the parent package open and I press the execution button; my expectation is when the child packages are called they open and are displayed while running. When I run the package sometimes it doesn't open them in the editor while they are running is there a way to force this behaviour via some setting? There is evidence that they are running as the parent package still shows yellow indicating they are and the third party software the child packages call does open up and begin execution.
