Editing Configuration files : SSIS Nugget
Its been a long-g-g-g-g time since I did a SSIS-related post so here’s a little ditty that I picked up while reviewing some internal stuff today.
Editing SSIS configuration (i.e. .dtsConfig) files isn’t particularly easy. Most people I see who try to do this use a traditional text editor like Notepad but that isn’t a great experience because the contents don’t look particularly friendly when you open them up. Observe:
Instead you may wish to use Visual Studio which, if you’re messing about with SSIS configuration files, you should already have installed. The steps are pretty simple, firstly hit CTRL-O to open your config file. It may look something like this:
Well, that’s not much better but with a little wave of Visual Studio’s magic wand (otherwise known as CTRL-K, CTRL-D) then it will get turned into this:
which, I’m sure you’ll agree, is a whole lot friendlier. You can save that and it will continue to work just fine, SSIS will of course ignore the whitespace (why BIDS doesn’t create configuration files like this in the first place I do not know).
