In Dev, Package1 has a config file for setting the variables, etc...
This package works using a scheduled job in Dev...

Now, I would like to move the package to Prod.
How do I do this and what should be done to the config file in Prod?
Thanks

Copy the package file (dtsx) to the prod server.
Copy the config file to the prod server and edit it for the production values.

Now you have to make sure that the package picks up the config file. Make sure that the dev values are invalid in production so that the package errors if the values are not changed.

I always log the values when the package starts so that they can be checked. Also I tend not to use config files but pass the settings in the package call to set variables.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

are you using indirect configuration? else you might have to repoint the config file path if its different from dev path

When adding the config file, I specify the path. This is in Dev.
