• What's all this Application Name=SSIS-Gather_Server_and_Database_Information-{30870F9F-B4A8-4EFF-B6C9-0C2DFB43480E} nonsense?!

    Application Name is just an attribute that is part of the Connection String to SQL Server protocol which identifies the application that is connected to SQL Server, for example you can retrieve the list of applications connected to a server through the following DMV:

    SELECT program_name

    FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions

    The GUID at the end of the name is just an ID that identifies that SSIS package. You'll find it in the Properties of the SSIS package under ID.
