looking for tables or columns etc. within a SSIS package

  • Hi

    I have a SSIS project that has around 30 packages
    Is there an easy way to search though all the packages to find where a specific table or column or ... has been referenced?

    Thanks

    Damian.

    Do a search in the file system using something like FileSeek.

  • Thanks Phil, I'll take a look
    Appreciate it's in XML
    Wasn't sure whether I could do something in T-SQL

    Assuming your packages are deployed to SSISDB, you can't do much in T-SQL because they are held in an encrypted form.

  • If you can open the solution in Visual studio editor (SSDT) and right click the package name in the solution explorer, then click View Code, it gives you the xml code for the package.
    Now you can search inside this code using the usual Ctrl+F.
    For multiple packages,you'll need to select all packages and do the same as above. Only this time you can use "search in all open documents" instead of "current document"
