• Hi

    i am curious when to use script task where other components in ssis can't do the job

    Well there is your answer! 😉

    One example would be to obtain the error message for a column that was redirected on error (not fail package) , by default SSIS provides the error number but in order to get to the text of the associated error you need a script task..

    Its one that I have used quite a bit.

    Here is an example
