  I have a dtsx pckg which selects data from source which is sql server and copies to oracle env using vb scripting in ssis. now currently my pckg has the connection string as

  Provider=MSDAORA.Oracle;Data Source=<dbname>;User Id=<userid>;Password=<pwd>;

  to set up a connection to destination env. i am trying to have this pass as a variable to this script. is this possible? I tried to

  declare a string at pckg level saying Destconnection which has the entire string (Provider=MSDAORA.Oracle;Data Source=<dbname>;User Id=<userid>;Password=<pwd>;)

  and then use that as readonly variable in script property. somehow when using a

  MsgBox(Dts.Variables("DestConnection").ToString) i dont see the value getting passed onto script. am i doing something wrong or missing something? any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA

  You're probably doing something wrong 🙂

  So you have a string variable at the package level which has the connectionstring as the value, right?

  Is it hard-coded, or loaded by an expression or package configuration?

  The script we are talking about, this is a script task right, not a script component (in the dataflow)?

  You did set the variable correctly in the script's editor?
