ssis documentation help

  • hi,

    i am new to ssis , i have to document few packages.

    how to prepare documents for ssis packages?

    is there any free tools?

    send me some sample documents if available.

    thank you.

  • It depends on what level of documentation you require.

    There are some tools out there that will create ssis documentation for you, a google search will bring them up, but most of them require a payment.

    I have documented SSIS packages before by parsing the xml of the package to retrieve the neccesary information required for my document.

    Also try and make you packages as 'self-documenting' as possible with descriptive names and comments.

  • I would recommend also adding annotations to your packages. A well placed note can help explain/document what your package is doing and the logic being used.

  • Check that out...

    also there's another tool from pragmatic-works, but it's more fancy, it uses a sql table to log the stuff in.
