That's great but what about changing the path of the CSV source file dynamically? Usually this would be on a local drive during DEV, a UAT file server and a PROD file sever. How would this path be configured?

[@learnssis]

Normally SSIS package itself pics the path of source file dynamically in a given folder. For example we can load all CSV file from a folder or a specific CSV file from a folder. This Folder path can be set using Project parameter during deployment. Thanks.

If you right click on the connection manager, there is an option work offline, you can click on that one. So if that option is checked in it means if will work in offline mode, if it is already checked then you can uncheck it.

[@balasubramanyamjavvajivenk9663]

Hi, Just to confirm the process: IF interviewer asked how you deploy the packages in to three different environments like Test, Dev, Quality and production 1. here we can just deploy the packages into one catalog. 2. We can create four different environments as stated above. 3. We need to configure for four environment variables in to the project. 4. while running we can select the environment based up on our usage right?. Could you please suggest one video for making SSRS reports deployment into three different environments?.

[@learnssis]

The method to deploy SSIS projects to different environments is correct. Sorry I have not worked on SSRS reports deployment so far, so really don't know how we can do that.

You can't migrate environment variables. you would need to create the same environment variables those exists at one server to another server. And then assign the same values to the environment variables.

Hello, If we are executing the package from a job then how do we select the target environment? In this case it is automated so we would not be able to select the environment from a dialog.

[@learnssis]

How environment works, that we first few environment like for Dev,QA,Prod. And then using the different environment we can execute our ssis package without any modification at any environment. At the time of scheduling the package we would need to select the environment like on which environment you want to run the package otherwise how package will know on which environment it needs to run.

Is there any video for migration using SSIS from 2016 to 2019

[@learnssis]

There are no extra steps for data migration from sql 2016 to sql 2019. SSIS handles it by itself. Just create the data flow task and select the source table and destination table in OLE DB source and OLE DB destination respectively. If you have a lot of tables to migrate and you want to do the full load then you can think of using the "transfer database objects task" in ssis. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4nIdo2pfNJ9qKs

[@kanikeveeresh4448]

I have a question regarding this project deployment that why do we create environments...? instead creating environments, directly we will assign values to project parameters when we execute the SSIS package.

[@kanikeveeresh4448]

i mean when we execute SSIS package in sql server management studio.

[@learnssis]

@@kanikeveeresh4448 Yes you are right we have the option to provide the value to the SSIS project but still there is an additional option available and this is because suppose you have an SSIS package that you developed for dev server and now if you want to run the same ssis package on QA server and on Production server as well then you can store the QA server name and Production server name in environments and at the time of running the ssis package yo can select on which environment you want to run the SSIS package.

[@sriniwaaskorampalli8145]

sir so we can directly configure the parameters in environments itself? and assign them to project parametrs created in ssis pkg? instead of giving values to project parameters in ssis pkg ?

[@learnssis]

If you have given values to project parameters in SSIS package and you don't want to change them then you don't need to provide the values at run time, I mean even you don't need to create the environment as well because saved parameter values from ssis package can be used but if you want to provide some different values then you can create the environment and provide values at run time.

quick question: how I do this when my packages have many variables (tried to modify them manually as the new server structure it is)?! tia

@@learnssis to be more clear: In ssis I have 5 packages in a project, 3 of these have 5-6 variables each(with values or expressions). I converte3d the package to Project Deployment Model, I build it and deployed to another server. Worked all good, packages, db and the rest were ok. Deployed on the new server, in my SSIDB all packages and after that tried to configure each manually to the new server structure (new connection string, new server name, new excel paths/folders) from Configure- > ALl packages and project -> Connection Managers. After that I tried to run a package, runs ok but when I'm looking to error messages I get this error "The For Each File enumerator is empty. The For Each File enumerator did not find any files that matched the file pattern, or the specified directory was empty." and the whole package didn't do anything. What should i do?

[@learnssis]

For this error, you need to see the Files in the specified folder. Are the Files available in the directory ? Is Foreach loop container configured correctly to pick the files from the specified SSIS variable that contains Folder Path ? And check if the pattern that is specified in the foreach loop container is correct or not.

Hi Aqil, thanks for the video, i am new to ssis, i am learning from your videos only. Thanks a lot for the good explanation videos. I am having doubt in this video. the package deployed in Ahmed instance, no need to deploy in ahmed/sql2016 instance. how its connecting from one instance to another instance only based on the environment variables. So shall we deploy the package in dev environment and by creating environment varibales can we run the same package in sit, prod environments even though the servers are different for dev,sit,prod. Please confirm

[@learnssis]

If the dev,sit,prod all are in the same network and if you can connect to dev,sit,prod from a sql server without any issue then yes you can run the same package using different env, but normally to avoid any mistake we deploy the ssis packages to the respected destination so that it won't run on other environment.

[@sivareddy7816]

Thanks lot. I have one dought bro in one project having 50 packages. Some package having source system is excel,flat file,Oracle,SQL but destinations also different in that time we need to create different different project parameters in this project.and also when we are deploying into the st,uat,staging,production each time we need to change connection strings and file paths.but each environment having different paths that time manually changed means confusing lot

[@learnssis]

Connection string and file path needs to be changed using the project parameters. st, uat, staging, production each can have different connecting string and different file path, thus each can have a different value for project parameters.

[@ravinderkaur9552]

Firstly, thank you for the nice explanation. But I have one ques...I was having the same requirement to change the server name dynamically, but the different server has different password...so where to enter the password after providing the server name?

[@learnssis]

The example I shown in the video, I am using the Windows Authentication mode to connect to SQL Server, so no user name and password is required. If you want to connect with sql authentication then while creating the OLE DB Connection in SSIS package you should use the sql authentication connection string so that you can declare 2 variables username and password and then you can assign the value from username and password ssis variable to OLE DB Connection string. Now you can declare 2 project parameters pUserName and pPassword and then assign the value from pUserName and pPassword from parameters to username and password SSIS variables. Now in the deployment you can pass the values to 2 project parameters pUserName and pPassword. In below video I have shown how to create sql authentication connection kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4vJoZx7jq2oaas

Very useful video. I have similar req & I used project parameters to create sql server connection. But the excel connection manager is failing in production bc the file path is different. Should I update the filepath variable in production package or is there any other way?? Thanks!

@@rammohan1935 There are 2 methods here to not disclose the password with others if you are using sql authentication. 1. When you create a sql authentication connection then you can directly provide the username and password there in OLE DB Connection Manager and click on save password, this way it won't show the password to anyone and you can still use the sql authentication connection. 2. If you want to make variables for username and password and want to save the password in a variable but do not want someone to know the password, then instead of creating the ssis variable for Password you can create a project parameter in the ssis package and select the data type as string and sensitive as True, this way it will encrypt your password and you won't be able to see it. Later in the ole db connection manager you can use the project parameter to make the connection dynamic. I will try to make a video on this topic.
