Is ignoring errors in an SSIS package ok? If I chose to ignore the errors in a production load, are there some problems I should be aware of?

I want to seup an SSIS package in sql server 2008 r2 taking data from a specific tab in an excel workbook 2003 and write out the data to sql server. When I use the import wizard, I tell the wizard to ignore all errors that occur. The data gets loaded the way I want it to. If I tell the wizard to fail on errors, it stops and the data does not get loaded.

It's not something we can answer. You need to identify what errors are acceptable. So what errors do you get when you tell it to fail on error?

keep in mind ignoring errors like above might even end up in losing useful information. so analyse first and see whats root cause for the errors and how you can handle them If not, at least log errors along with affected data somewhere for later analysis
