Testing the Updated Packages
New: 14 April 2006
Before you go on to the next lesson, in which you will create the deployment bundle to use to install the tutorial packages on the destination computer, you should test the packages. In this task, you will run the packages, DataTransfer.dtsx and LoadXMLData, that you added to the Deployment Tutorial project and then extended with configurations.
When the packages run, each executable in the package becomes a green color as it completes successfully. When all executables are green, the package has completed successfully. You can also view the package execution progress on the Progress tab.
If the packages do not run successfully, you must fix them before you go on to the next lesson.

After the package has completed running, on the Debug menu, click Stop Debugging.
To run the LoadXMLData package
