I've been working on package configurations here, mainly trying to figure out what works, and how. If I use an XML configuration, and and don't specify the path, ie just typing in test.dtsconfig, it creates the config file on my desktop. When I execute the packge in BIDS, it seems to be looking in that location. If however, I execute the package manually on the filesystem, test.dtsconfig must be in the same directory as the package (which is what I would expect). Why does this work differently in BIDS. Also, if the package is deployed to a SQL server, where would the configuration file need to be in this case? Thanks for the help.
Configuration file paths in SSIS are absolute, not relative. hence, use the full path when defining your file. i can't explain why behaviour is different between BIDS and whatever other method you are using to execute but to be honest that is irrelevant if you define the location with an absolute path.
If you don't like the thought of absolute paths then indirect configurations are what you want! http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/11/02/2342.aspx
Deployingn to SQL Server makes no differrence. you still need an absolute path.
