Multiple Environments and Configuration File settings in packages.

Suppose 2 environments on a single machine.

Each environment has different configuration settings....different

databases etc.

All the packages in the first environment have a hardcoded config files

referencing the local drive.

In order to create the second environment do I have to

go into each package and manually change the location of the

hardcoded config files. If I don't it will it not use the config files

from the first environment.

Thanks

What you can do is store the config file reference in a environment variable and change it between executions. You might have to use the command line mode for that.
Creat a batch file like this:

- pseudo code
Set env_variable = config1

dtexec.exe package.dtsx (not the correct syntax but to give you an idea)

Set env_variable = config2

dtexec.exe package.dtsx

Also, check ProjectREAL stuff. It'll give you a better idea.

Hope that helps.
