This lets me define variables that are specific to the environment (PROD, TEST, DEV, etc.). I can use variables to define the locations and names of child packages, meaning that I can switch between each environment just by changing the xml config file the parent package is fed.With environment variables, I only have one environment, so I couldn't manage this flexibility.Hope this helpsB2BThu, 24 Jul 2008 05:42:31 GMTborn2bongohttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic539860-148-1.aspxI’d really like to know what most ppl are using and which offers them the most flexibility. Also if you have two instances on the same server that run the same process but from diff sources to diff destinations. I guess im needing someone to explain to me in layman’s terms how the XML and Environmental Variable config works. There is a lot of stuff online and I’m sort of coming to grips with it but it still feels rather fuzzy.TiaVeeWed, 23 Jul 2008 23:20:23 GMTvee van gelder
