I have an SSIS package, that I did not write. It is used to transfer production data from a configurator to a production MRP system. I copied the origin QuoteTransfer.dts to QuoteTransferDEV.dts so that it would flow from development configurator package to development MRP system. However when I did that it still reads from the QuoteTransfer.dtsConfig rather than QuoteTransferDEV.dtsConfig. Does anyone have any suggestions? I checked all the variables, but I just don't see where it points to the file.
Thanks in Advance

The config file is specified by right-clicking on the design surface in BIDS and choosing Package Configurations. You can specify a different config file at run-time when running a package through the command line or a job step (and, I think, with the Package Execution Utility).

Thanks John, I will look at that.
I did find that it is using a variable called QTE_XFER_Config. However, when I review the variables it is not in there. When I do the Package Configuration that variable shows up, but has nothing in it. Does it default to a name somehow?
Still looking
Thanks

Not sure I understand. If your variable takes its value from the config file, you should have a line something like this in the file:
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="\Package.Variables[User::MyVariable].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>MyValue</ConfiguredValue>
Do you have anything like that?

John,
I don't have anything in the QuoteTransferDEV.dtsConfig file for that line. That is what is confusing. I would assume that a variable pointing to a dtsConfig file wouldn't be in the dtsConfig file. As this QuoteTransferDEV.dtsConfig is pulling up the QuoteTransfer.dtsConfig, even though I have the appropriate config file.
It is confusing.
Thanks

You're right - you don't set the location of the config file in the config file. See my first post above for how you do that.
