SSIS - The package file is missing from the project directory

 Hi friends,

I got the above error when system restarted and upon reopening of visual studio ssis package ..my saved package was not found. 

To resolve this issue 

1. Open the file location by right clicking on project solution

2. Right click on package and click on Add package and choose your missing package.


This error occurs if the name of the SSIS package is recently changed


Bingo! Issue fixed

SSIS - conditional split output evaluated to NULL and it should return Boolean results

 Hi All,

Encountered above error when conditional split was used to implement SCD type 2 in SSIS using Look up


To resolve this use below code 


(ISNULL(email) ? "1" : email) != (ISNULL(L_email) ? "1" : L_email) || (ISNULL(phone) ? "1" : phone) != (ISNULL(L_phone) ? "1" : L_phone)



i,e use ISNULL for both source and destination side so that the query does not return any Null values and finally is able to evaluate results as Boolean

SSIS - Exception deserializing the package

 Hi Folks!

We get this error often with latest version of SSIS. To resolve this issue, follow below steps 


1. Go to Task Manager
2. Details Tab.
3. Locate the process “DtsDebugHost.exe“.
4. Kill this process. There might be multiple instances of this process. Kill all of them.
5. Reexecute SSIS package


Ah ha...issue resolved
