Hi,
I have created SSIS packages in development server where data source pointing to development sql server and the source file path is in development server. I need to move these packages to production server where in the packages should point to production sql database and the path of the source file is different from the development path.

Please let me know the easiest way to do this.

Thanks,
Sandesh

You could use a configuration file but I usually call the packages with the connection data as parameters - picking this data up from a table.

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

Do I need to change the configuration settings and then run the deployment utility or the other way round?

Thanks,
Sandesh

you can specify configuration settings even when deploying through deployment utility

Create the config file on your dev box. Copy the config file to the server then change the values in it.
If you do everything with files including the packages then this is easy - just a file copy.
