The Package Configurations Organizer


The designer provides a wizard called the Package Configurations Organizer (Organizer) to help you do just thatorganize the packages' configurations. To use the Organizer, right-click on the package design surface and select Package Configurations. Figure 14.1 shows the Organizer with two configurations, a Registry configuration and an XML configuration, already created. You can use the Organizer to create, edit, and delete package configurations.

Figure 14.1 shows the first dialog box where you create, edit, delete, and order the configurations. The arrows along the right side of the dialog box allow you to modify the order in which the package will apply the configurations. The Configuration Name column is really just for documentation purposes and the package ignores it. The Configuration Type column tells you the type of the configuration. The Configuration String column contains the location of the configuration. The Target Object column tells you which object will be modified by the configuration if it only changes a single property such as Registry configurations. For configuration types that change multiple values such as XML and SQL Server configurations, this value is blank. The Target Property column indicates which property on the target object will be modified. Like the Target Object column, this cell is empty for configurations that change multiple properties.

To turn on configurations, select the Enable Package Configurations check box. If you deselect this check box, configurations for the package are disabled, but the configurations remain so that you can later reenable them.

To create a new configuration, click the Add button. The Package Configuration Wizard opens, as shown in Figure 14.2.

You can select the type of configuration you want to create in the Configuration Type drop down. Depending on the type you select, the designer for creating the configuration changes. As each of the configuration types are discussed in the following sections, the settings you should enter into this dialog box are also covered for each type.
