I created SSIS packages a while ago, today I need to re-point them to a different SQL server. I have a bunch of “Execute SQL Task” tasks, which need their Connection property changed to a different server.
I created a new connection manager, double-clicked on each of the sql tasks, changed their Connection property to the new one, ran. It failed, the error was that it could not find the old connection. I restarted the project, none of the SQL Server tasks seem to pick up the new Connection Manager. I opened up the .dtsx files, tried to find the old server name somewhere and manually change it, but I could not find the old server.
What do I have to change to get rid of the old SQL Server and make it connect to the new, correct data source.
I work in VS2005, on Windows 2008 x64 machine (I don’t know if it matters or not).
Thank you.
I’ve seen this occur before when Package Configurations are enabled. Make sure that this is not the case, recompile, and try again.
