Upgrading from SSIS Package Deployment to Project Deployment (Presented at SQLSaturday Denmark on September 19th 2015)

1. Upgrading from SSIS Package
Deployment to Project Deployment

2. Session description
Are you still using the package deployment model in your SSIS projects, but
want to upgrade to the project deployment model? Are you unsure how to go
from using package configurations, configuration files and the SSIS
configurations table, to using parameters, environments and the SSISDB
catalog?
In this session I will explain the differences between the package deployment
model and the project deployment model, and show you step-by-step how you
can upgrade your SSIS projects. You will learn how to configure the SSISDB
catalog, set up environments and environment variables, work with parameters
and monitor your projects.
