Edit the CDW - Copy database Wizard SSIS package

  • I am trying to use the copy database wizard. I am using the detach and attach method in the wizard.

    It works fine.

    And it creates a SSIS package when the wizard is done.

    I am curious what is exactly in the package, and see if I can later edit it.

    But when I open the package in BIDs, all I see is only one task there, and when I want to see the detail of the task, it shows the following message:

    ------------------------------

    This task does not have a custom editor. Use the Properties window to edit properties of this task.

    ------------------------------

    But in the property there is not much I can see either, I cannot see even what is the source database and destintation database.

    Anything I am missing?

    THanks

  • the message gives you all the info you need. The task is not an editable SSIS object, rather, it has a set of properties that define the execution context. Right click the task and select properties, here you set mode of transfer and database details, etc, etc!

  • But I cannot see some settings of the transfer like source database and destination database in the property window of the task.

    The only way I can see that is open view code and see it in the xml file.

  • Source and destination db, etc are a collection of items under the database details property
