Package running other packages

Package running other packages

  Restart the machine so the sys variable is recognized.

  I have completely replaced all these packages using config files and calling other packages.

  It it is supposed to work with SP1 though. I did not try sp1 yet.

  In the meantime, I have consolidated all these "sub-packages" functionality into the main packages.

  The people I work for decided I don't need to do this package anymore.... so I quit thinking about it.
  Thanks anyway!

  I am stupid, and I need further explanations....

  I created a new environment variable, and I set its value with the path of my configuration file... is this the right thing to do

  After this I have enabled package configuration on the package, and set the source to that variable, but it doesn't work... Why

  Thanks

  Why not just reference the same config file in each package

  This is made alot easier by the use of indirect configurations: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/11/02/2342.aspx

  Hi everybody, I have to create a package that executes other packages I've already created... Every one of these packages run with the same Configuration File, but if I try to execute the main one, including the path of the file, I get errors from the other packages because they can't find it... How can I manage to pass this file and its content to the other packages Here a little explanation of te process: Main Package needs configuration file X.dtsConfig, and calls: package1, which needs configuration file X.dtsConfig; package2, ....... I hope everything is clear...

  You can pass values from the parent package through to child packages using parent package configurations.

  Without being there its a bit hard to say. What "doesn't work" What behaviour are you expecting What happens instead
