Groups of packages (anywhere)
In this we keep a group of package anywhere and also key points is we can access same from anywhere
Projects
In this we can see various SSIS project can be grouped under similar model which include project configuration
It is as shown in diagram just side by :-
An SSIS Project can have multiple Packages
– No longer need to pass values from package to package (i.e.. Parent Package Configs) –
– No longer need to manage logging at the individual package level
– No longer need to move each package as single files for deployment
– No longer have to worry about relative paths
Configurations
Configuration is most important aspect while changing or deploying in any other environment than Dev.
Some of key XML file need to change while configuration file reused.
Now when combining all with parameter we get Project Deployment model as shown :
