SSIS DTSX file and config file

  • Hello All,

    i am new be in ssis so please just bear with me.

    i am a bit confused with the ssis DTSX file and config file.

    how will i move the ssis dtsx file form the dev to production.

    i den has given me a DTSX file to run on server b. it was designed on server A ( the dtsx file connect to database on server A named test).

    on the server B i have to run this package with the database test on server B.

    i am confused as how to change connection at run time using Config files.

    i know how to open the package use deployment utiltiy and run it, change the connections in the BDIS and deploy it on server B, but for the life of me i cant figure out how to use the config file.

    this what i have done so far .

    i downloaded ( moved the DTSX file to server B, than on connected to the SSIS through SSMS and open file system and did import package.

    now i see my imported package on the file system list but now how will i see the config file , where is it or i need to create one.

    please help.

  • I take it you have BIDS on your desktop? If you search the internet for "creating a deployment manifest" you should find plenty of content on how to deploy your package with the correct configuration.

  • Read about XML Configuration files. It makes the job when moving SSIS from dev to prod.

  • use "localhost" in your connection

    Let's hope they do not work with named instances 😉
