Executing packages in a specific sequence

I am facing some issues while working on SSIS in VS2005,

The Scenario is we have 35 excel files from which we have to import data

to Sql 2005.

We have to execute these packages in a specific sequence so we are not

using For Each Loop Control.

Now the Problem is this that we have 35 executables as an output that is

corresponding to each package, and from each executable we can Change

excel path and Sql Connection String.

The problem is that one has to open each executable to set the path; we

wanted to keep them Configurable like , as if we can have any variable

define in the packages for path, and in the packages we use that variable

and append the XLS file name to it like ..

@.PathVariable+ test.xls

And from the Configuration file at run time we can set the path to this

variable like

@.Path Variable="C: /Windows/ Test Folder/"

And then executable picks the path from there.

Is there any possibility to implement any thing similar, we have tried but

its not working, any help in this regard will be really appreciating.

Its really urgent, I will wait for feedback on this.

Yeah you can do that. just use an expression on the ConnectionStrig property of the connection managers. This should give you some clues:

Execute Script component after 2 sequence finished with sucess

Dear Friends,

In the control flow, I have more than one sequence containers, and I have a script component that I want to be executed only when of 2 last sequence finished with sucess... these 2 sequences does not have any relation with each other...

Regards!

If you want the script task to be executed after both sequences complete successfully, add a precedence constraint connecting each sequence container directly to the script task. If you want the script task to be executed when either of the sequence containers complete successfully, do the same, but set the LogicalAnd property of the precedence constraints to False.|||

Dear jwelch,

I already tried it but didnt work...

Check the image on the image in my blog:

Thanks!

|||The dotted lines for the precedence constraints show that you have set it to be an OR condition. double click on one of those constraints and set it to AND which means both have to succeed before the next task is executed.|||

I made a mistake... I already had this works and I was confusing!!!

Thanks both!!

Execute Mutiple Tasks In Debug Mode

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find how to run multiple tasks in sequence while in Visual Studio debug mode. In DTS design mode I grew accustomed to right-clicking tasks one-at-a time, but in SSIS I find the additional step of having to exit Debugging mode after every task gets old after a while.

There must be a way to start execution at a certain task and have the package continue all the way to some other specified task. It would also be nice to have every task in a Group execute in sequence and stop (even if connections continue beyond the group). I could even settle for repeatedly clicking the Continue button in Debug mode, but it's always grayed out when the current task is finished!

Can this be achieved by setting breakpoints?

I have previously requested "Execute from here" functionality in the control flow. You can vote for this request here: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=a2548612-b602-42ab-9ff9-563d927674f8

Adding a comment would help as well.

In the meantime, you can place all required tasks into a sequence container, right click on the sequence container and select "Execute task". All tasks in the container will be executed.

Sequence container appears to be what I was looking for. Thanks. It seems obvious now that you've pointed it out, but features are easy to miss with so much new functionality.

I added some comments on your request.
