    Thanks Nitesh,

    I am very much new to SSIS. If you could explian the last point of yours.
    I have created the deployment utility and have copied my deployment folder to the other machine. Then I am using install package utility provided with SSIS. But the error is with the connections (OLE DB and Flat File), which had been created on my machine. How do I dynamically change the server name, username and password.  All the required databases and flat files are  present on the new server.
    If you could provide the steps...


    Thanks,

    Which aspect is not covered adequately by Books Online There is an entire section on "Deploying Integration Services Packages."

    Refer to the section(s) in BOL for:

    - Creating deployment utility.
    - Using DTSInstall.EXE to install packages on another/same server.
    - Using DTUtil.EXE for moving packages between machines.
    - Using package configurations (specially using environment variable to hold the configuration file path and then using property expressions to dynamically assign connection properties using variables).

    Basically, it takes some work.

    HTH,

    Amarpreet,
    Configurations are the method for doing this in SSIS. Here are some links that may help:

    Location independant packages - http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/47688/47688.html
    Easy package configuration - http://www.sqlis.com/ 26

    Another method is to change such values via the command-line:
