The 2008R2 options allowed dynamic configuration across environments.\u00a0 In SSIS 2012 we review the new dynamic options, including Parameters and Catalogs. This upgrade takes SSIS from simply confusing to downright confounding. We will simplify these options so anyone with basic SSIS experience can follow along.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"SQLSanta\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cognitiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/SQLSanta-300x168.jpg\" width=\"378\" height=\"211\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to our friends at GDH Consulting for hosting the December meeting of Oklahoma City SQL User Group.<\/p>\n<p>SQL Integration Server developers need to make dynamic changes to properties and connections when moving packages across environments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Configurations&#8217; enabled SQL Integration Services 2008 R2 developers to make those changes, but it could be very confusing when multiple Configurations were used in combination.<\/p>\n<p>SQL Integration Services 2012 maintains support for Configurations while adding a lot of power and versatility with Parameters, Environments and Variables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Downloads:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Presentation:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cognitiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/SSIS-Param-VS-Config1.pdf\">SSIS Param VS Config<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Visual Studio SSIS Packages:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cognitiveinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/SSIS_Config_Vs_Param.zip\">SIS_Config_Vs_Param<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Presentation (Christmas Edition) is still available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/cognitivebi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slideshare<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/S0EdHw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Professional Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Integration Services<\/a><br \/>\nby Brian Knight, Erik Veerman, Jessica M.
