I think I can probably guess that the answer to this question is going to be NO!
Here goes anyway… I have developed an SSIS package on my local development machine with SQL Server 2008R2 installed.
When I went to deploy on the production server the package failed with all sorts of errors. After digging around I discovered the production server is running SQL 2008 (not R2).
Question: is there a simple way (preferably some simple setting in the IDE) that will make my package compatible?
UPDATE: This is the exact error I get when I try to execute the package on SQL Server(R1)
Description: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ComponentVersionMismatchException:
The version of component "ADO NET Destination" (79) is not compatible with
this version of the DataFlow. [[The version or pipeline version or both for the
specified component is higher than the current version. This package was probab
ly created on a new version of DTS or the component than is installed on the cur
rent PC.]]
It seems ADO NET destinations are the only incompatible things between 2008 and 2008R2. For a solution, see:
