Hi friends,

I have a package where the number of columns in DB tables could be changed. I want to change the meta data of data flow task dynamically. Also the mapping details will be in a seperate table as the source and destination column names need not be same.
Could anyone please help me on the same.

Thanks and Regards,
Reva

you cant do it unless you create the data flow objects on the fly programatically in a script task. you need to call library functions to refresh metadata each time inside script task.
I cant understand why your table structures are so varying though!

Thanks for your reply!
New columns can be added and deleted as per the business requirement.

Could you plz tell me if I can modify the existing package and just change the meta data.

you can modify package and edit metadata to add or remove columns. Whenever table structure changes, open package in BIDS/SSDT and click on source task and it should fix errors automatically and you just need to add the new columns.
