Biml Tutorial Part 3 – Adding Connection Managers to our Package Generator
Now that we can generate simple empty packages, the next step is to add connection managers to the project and package. After that, we will add a DataFlow. This article will focus on the Connections though, and we will start with a pair of standard OleDb Connections. Recall the metadata tables from the last article: … Continue reading Biml Tutorial Part 3 – Adding Connection Managers to our Package Generator

Occasionally, I would build the packages with BIML Express to ensure I hadn't introduced bad metadata. Today, I tweaked the BIML to allow for … Continue reading Biml Tutorial 2 – Creating a Simple Package Generator
