How do I check to see if a record exists in my destination and update it, and if it doesn't exist, insert it? Why are my mapped drives not working? - Avoid them at all costs. Use UNC instead. (\\server\share\...) Mapped drives are only available to the currently logged-in user session and when you run SSIS package via a job (SQL Agent or otherwise) mapped drives are not available because there is no user session. Why is my SQL Server Destination component not working? - It can only be used when the package is being run on the same server that you are inserting into.

Hi, BIxPress has a lot of cool features that makes SSIS development easy. One example of a tool that makes BIxPress great is the Quick Config Editor. This tool that allows you to make multiple changes to configuration files. You have a grid view and an XML view. If youre comfortable with editing XML then more power to you. The grid view however gives you only the information you need. It gives you the configurable object name, property and value. Here you can change and save configuration property like server names all in one swoop. You can also make changes to multiple config files using a multi-select. BIxPress also has a search and replace feature which allows to search the configuration files for a specific name and replace with a new value. For example, if you were to change Dev server name to a new production server name you could do it with the Search and Replace feature. For more product information go to www.pragmaticworks.com.
