Is there a sure way to determine if a .dtsx file was created using BIDS 2005 or BIDS 2008?
If it needs to be known, I’ll be opening the packages with BIDS 2008. But I’d like to know before hand if it was originally created through BIDS 2005. Imagine that I don’t have documentation and I’m going to be responsible for documenting the tons of SSIS packages we have. Thank you for any help!
Yes. There is a
DTS:Name="PackageType"in your DTSX. Compare your value with the enum from MSDN : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.dts.runtime.dtspackagetype.aspxA
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="PackageType">5</DTS:Property>means BIDS 2008.
