SSIS Package Template

  • Hi All

    In order to create package template in SSIS, the package has to be stored at a specific location

    ie., C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\DataTransformationProject\DataTransformationItems

    This is not really helpful as it stops the template being used by other developers of the project.

    Please can someone suggest a way of storing the package at a common network location which will be accessible to everyone.

    Thanks

  • The only other thing I have every came across is saving the package template within the solution itself so other developers can copy, paste it and then rename it before progressing.

  • Hi aaa

    thnx for your alternative method.

    It will be really nice to know how to change the location where the template can be stored.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Cheers

  • I think you can simply store the package in msdb and every time you require to use that template you can import package in BIDS, make changes to it and save it with another name/another location as desired.

  • The way that I'm doing it currently is to save the template out on a network share and then have them copy it to that location locally.

    More documentation on this can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908018 and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345191%28SQL.90%29.aspx.
