Hello,

We have several DTS packages with some initial data reformatting steps that take quite a while. Sometimes steps toward the of the package fail for various reasons. Is there a way to configure a step to be skipped, or automatically marked as successfull? This would save us alot of time when this happens

You could perhaps build the logic into your package, e.g. have a table somewhere that tells you what steps have been completed and use that to determine whether to execute a step

Alright Brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you. But lets just do this, and I can get back to killing you with beer.

or you could break a DTS package into smaller packages, create a job and define what should be done when the previous step (executing a package) fails
