Thanks, it worked.

I have a configuration file where I configure both the child as package on the file system and on the db.

I can switch between the two by changing the connection between the .dtsx and the DB, like in the

example below. Child1 in in the DB and Child2 on the filesystem, if I change Child2 connection to DWH.TestDB

the master executes the Child2 package in the DB. Thanks for your input.
