problem in executing package in production environment

hi all!

This is my problem. My package executes fine when i set the connection string with the same database where i execute the query. If i execute with another database connection stirng if fails bacause while executing the pacakge it trys to access the same connection string at design mode.

when i try to execute through cmd prompt by setting \conn <new database connection string> it fails.

Is package configuration is the only solution. how can i change conn string depending on different server?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jas

As far as my knowledge, package configuration is the only one solution.|||

Package configurations will work but you'll need to reference the configuration at runtime. You can also use the /SET switch from dtexec.exe to set a property dynamically at runtime. If you're trying to set a connection string though, you can set it with the /Connection swtich. Try doing this from DtsExecUI.exe first to see if you have better luck then grab the command line from the last page down. Hope this helps!

i am currently trying to set the variable with the /set and give connection string as /conn but when i do it another environment and change the conn string it does not work. Now thats my problem. Now i am trying through package configuration but that too i have some issues. I don't want to use environment variable and cannot use parent pacakge varibale for this particular pacakge cos it is the main parent pacakge. I want to use registry key but if i give the value other than current user. it does not work. I am trying to use the HKEY_local machine /software / .../ .../ value. How doi set the registry key for this in pacakge configuration. And i also tried the config file. I works well through indirect method only in another environment where i need to set the environment variable to hold the path of the config file.

Is there any suggestions?

Thanks,
