hi all,

I have question regarding package congiguration file..

If i create ssis package on my machine along with package configuration
file.But my problem is that,if i deploy this ssis package on other machine do i need to keep the configuration file at the particular location or does this file also require on that machine?

Few points which i know about package configuration files are:
1.we can contain the all information about package.
2.we can chage the settings of the packge using the file without interfering to package on one machine.

but my doubt is how this package file helps us on other machine if we
deploy a package..

can someone clear this points to me

Cheers

What I know is:
To deploy a package you have to copy
- package file
- manifest file
- config file
to destination machine.
When executing the manifest the setup gives the ability to change settings that come along with config file.
That's it.

The build process writes all needed files in a special output folder I remember...
The package file is the .dts (or was it .dtsx?).
The config file is that package configuration file with that name you have given while activating it in visual studio.
