  Hi,

  My issue is I need a package which tests connection to SQL server.

  We have a table 'Servers' which lists all the Servers in our Company.

  My scenario is that we have a a Dynamic as well as static FQDN to connect to a database server.

  I need the package to first test if we are able to connect using the static name if 'Yes' then I need to update a column 'IsConnectStatic' in a table Servers to 1 and then test connection using Dynamic name if that connection is also successful then I need to update the column 'IsConnectDynamic' column to 1.

  in Servers table.

  I am wondering how I can establish this logic. I mean which SSIS task I need to use? And whiin the task how do I establish the object.

  Thank you.
