Switching Exec Pkg Task from file to SQL in a config

  • I have been developing a package that calls other packages and for development I use file connections to the packages I want to call. When I deploy this I would like the packages to be stored in SQL I have not seen a parameter in the Exec Package task that references the connection type. Is there a way to change this with configs??

  • I did a quick little bit of research and it looks like the difference in configuration from a file source to a SQL source is largely that a package name (and associated "path") are specificed for a SQL connection.

    A "path" takes the form of "\Maintenance Plans\SystemMaintenancePackage" where \Maintenance Plans\ is the path and SystemMaintenancePackage is the package name.

    The file source explicitly specifies a package so the package name in the exec package is blank.

    You can see this for yourself by doing this..

    Create 2 EXEC package tasks

    Set one up as a file source and the other as a sql source.

    Look at their properties.. Particularly "PackageName"
