I have a Execute T-SQL task which purged records from table. I would like to record in a log file the record count of how many records where deleted. Is this done by turning logging on?

Your ExecuteSQL task needs to return the count, which you can map to a package variable.

The way in which you do this depends on the exact SQL you have written, but @@rowcount might be your friend.

Here is a tutorial on how you might be able to capture the number of affected rows into a variable, depending on how your SQL Statement in your Execute SQL Task is constructed.

Not sure why you're using SSIS for such a simple thing. Just write a stored procedure and have it capture the rowcount(s) in a log table.

That would seem to require a decision to shift where the logging took place since the original question talked about a log file. If you wanted the log data to a table, but later bring the information out to a file so it could be emailed (typical case) then I guess that could be a compromise.
