SSIS Connection not found in package

Question

I\'m kind of new to SSIS programming, and I\'m having some problems deploying an SSIS package.

This package runs correctly on my PC, does everything it needs to do ..

Answer 1

For package developed in Visual Studio 2015, I found i must supply a value for the parameter (which would be the case when you deploy or run on different server) which sets the connection manager's connection string instead of using the design time value. This will suppress the error message. I think this could be a bug.

dtexec /project c:\mypath\ETL.ispac /package mypackage.dtsx /SET \Package.Variables[$Project::myParameterName];"myValueForTheParameter"

I tested this without or without parameterize the connection string, which is at the project level. The result was the same: i.e. I have to set the value for the parameter even thought it was not used.
