Hi there

I have created a package on my local machine, and enabled package configurations, and created a dtsConfig file.

I gave a colleague a copy of the package and config file, and he installed on his sql server (msdb). The package is called by a job, so we changed the job to reference his server, and to use the config file. We also changed the connection strings in the config file.

However, when the job runs, it fails (as it is still trying to connect to my machine). I then deployed the package to my box, performed the same steps, but then deleted the config file from the directory I specified. I expected it to fail. However, it didn't, and therefore, it is not using the config file.

Is there something else that I need to configure to ensure the package uses the config file??? I didn't recall having these same issues before...... but its been a while since I have used SSIS

Thanks in advance

Hearty head pats

Ok, resolved. He manually changed the connection names in the package. Doh!
