Package Name Sorting

SISS packages do not sort by name in BIDS and they do not sort by name when deployed to a SSIS server if choosing to store in sql server. The packages do sort by name when stored in file system. We have more than 100 packages on the server and just could not keep up with the locations. The only thing I can do is to create many folders. But even folders have no way to be sorted. Do I miss something here?

Jamie,

Thanks for your reply. I tried both solutions in BIDS. The first one works, but it seems too much work. The second one would be a good choice if I could make it work.

When I try to sort the packages in a project folder called 'Test Packages', I continue to get the follow error message in the output window "Access to the path ....Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Integration Services Project\Test Packages\Test Packages.dtproj.old' is denied.' I understand the program is trying to create a new sorted dtpproj file to replace the old one. Do you know what I need to do to make this work? Since the projected is in the source safe, does that make the difference?

Thanks.

Jane

Sorry, I've never used it. Try asking Jasper - I'm sure he won't mind helping out.

Package from Package Sore does not work as Job

Dear All,

I try to run a Package which is placed in the Package Store via a job - but this does not work.

Some things about the package:
- The package evokes some warnings, because I do not use all columns from the datasource
- Package runs in BI Studio - log is written
- Package runs if startet from the Package Store - log is written
- Package Execution stopps immediately if started via job - without writting in the log

As hint - needless to say :-) - that the log provider is configured in all three spaces...
Does anybody now, if I could use the configured log provider from the package directly in the jobs _without_ doing the settings?

Other jobs - without the warnings - are running and placing there step results in the log.

Thanks in advice!

Cheers
Markus

Darren,

sorry for this late reply - you are right!
The user did not have appropriate rights on the package store folder.

cheers,
