Parent Package Variable Assignment Issue In Child Package.
We
have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using
ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the
packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example:
Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned
properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the
variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We
have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
Please Help.

SSIS Parent/Child Package Variable Handshake Issue
Hi, I having a problem getting the child package variable values into a parent package. Here is the scenario; I have parent package(Master) calling two child packages using execute package task. I have no problem to pass variable values from the parent to child using the parent configuration but not able to get the variable values from the child to parent. I am setting the package status in each child package based on certain conditions and determine the final status in a parent based on child package variable statuses. Does any body have any idea? I will appreciate your thoughts.Thanks..Mako

SSIS Parent/Child Package Variable Passing
Hi I have having trouble getting my hands around how to retrieve variables from a parent package. I read about the Environment variables and Configuration File at the parent package level and the Parent Package variable at the child level. Here are my questions: 1. Can you only store/retrieve 1 variable in a config file at a time? 2. Does the child package have to define the variables and if so, do they have to be the same names as the parent package? This seems so more more complex then the DTS2000 way of passing variables to and from packages. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gordon Radley

Checking For Existence Of Parent Variable In Child Package
I have a parent package that calls a child package, when I run the parent package the child package picks up a variable value from the parent in a script task and runs fine, the problem I'm facing is when I run just the child package, the script task fails because it doesn't know about the parent variable. The dilemma I'm facing is in my child script task, if I add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariables list then the task fails because the parent variable doesn't exist when I just run the child. If I don't add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariabls list then if I try to use it then the task fails saying that the variable doesn't exist in the variables collection. Is there a way to check for the existence of the parent variable, so when I just run the child package I don't get an error and I don't have to change my task every time I choose to run the child package only vs running the parent/child? Thanks.

Passing A Variable Between A Parent And Child Package Doesn't Work
Has someone managed to pass successfully a variable from a parent package to a child package? I€™ve tried a zillion permutations and I can€™t get it to work. The strange thing was that I was able to successfully do this with pre-RTM builds. Basically, what I am trying to do is: The parent package has a variable, e.g. ExecutionID which I set using a script to System::ExecutionInstanceGUID. I verified that the variable is set correctly by dumping it to a SQL Server table. I created a child package variable with the same name. In the child package, I€™ve created a parent package configuration that points to the ExecutionID variable. I am trying to read the variable in a Derived Column Task in which I have a column linked to @ExecutionID. This doesn€™t work. Step-by-step instructions from someone who managed to concur this will be greatly appreciated. Oh, I didn€™t have any luck hitting a breakpoint in a script task inside a child package with both in and out of process execution also.

SSIS Parent/Child Package Variables Value Handshake Issue
Hi, I am having trouble getting the child package variable values in to the parent package. Here is the scenario. I have a master package and calling two child packages using the execute package task. I am able to pass the variable values from parent to child using the parent configuration easily but not able to get the child variable values back to the parent. I am setting the package status in a variable based on certain conditions in each child package. Then I am tracking all child package variable values in the parent(Master) package,determine the final status and returning that status to the calling application. Is there any way to track the child package variable values in aparent package. I will appreciate any of your thoughts. Thanks..Mako

Parent Package Variable Issue?
I have noticed an issue with parent package variables. I have a package with multiple parent package variables defined, call them X, Y, and Z. I also have a parent package that calls this other package. The parent package has variable definitions for X and Z. It seems that the value for X will be passed along, and Y will give a warning since there is no variable of that name in the parent. The issue is that Z will not be passed along. It seems like the parent package configuration process stops after it encounters one missing variable. Is this a know issue? Is it by design?

Hi, I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package. I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e. if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation. To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure". My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work. -Prashant

Configure A Child Package To Use The Configuration File Of A Parent Package?
Hi guys, Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself. However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx. When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established. How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property? Hope someone could help. Thanks.

I am trying to have the master/parent package complete its execution regardless the outcome (failure or success) of the child package. The overall structure of the master package is: 1. Perform Pre-load tasks (stored procedure). 2. Execute Package Task (call child package) 3. Perform Post-load Tasks (stored procedure) I have try everything and cannot get the results that I want... I have tried the combination of "failparentonfailure", "forceexecutionvalue", etc. The master package stops at childs failure. I would like to resume to completion Any ideas out there? Rohan

SSIS Parent Package Can Not Find The Child Package
I have two SSIS packages in a project, one calling the other. The parent package works fine in my local mechine. After they are deployed to the production, I schedeul jobs to run the packages in the SqlServer. The child package works fine if I run it alone, but the parent package could not find its child package if I run the parent package . As I checked, all xml config files and the connection string pointing to the child package were set correctly. It seems the parent package did not use the xml config file. Can someone help me?

Parent Package Call To Child Package
I run into some issues and really need some expert help here. Here is the problem. I have two packages (parent.dtsx and child.dtsx). Both package have its own configuration file (parent.dtsConfig and child.dtsConfig). The file Child.dtsConfig contains a variable (i.e. "X") that is to be used by Child.dtsx. Inside parent.dtsx. there is a package-task that calls into Child.dtsx. It worked perfectly well if I run parent.dtsx using Dtexec or from inside SSIS's IDE. Now I want to programmably call "parent.dtsx" from my C# code. I loaded package using "app.LoadPackage"... Inside C# code, I want to reconfigure Child-package's variable ("X"). I then loaded in "Child.dtsx". However when I run "parent.dtsx" and child.dtsx still loads the original value for "X". The reconfigured value for "X" is not updated. Please help on how to get around this issue. Thanks.

Parent Package Is Losing A Child Package
I have a parent package which calls a number of child packages. Occasionally, I have one child package which starts up and appears to finish but the parent package never gets notification that the child has finished. If I view this in Management Studio's in Integration Services, I can view the packages that are running and only the parent package is running. Because it never gets control back, the next child package will never get started and the parent package will continue to run and never finish. Any idea what could be happening??

Parent-Child Variable Issue
Hello, I'm having problem to pass variable from a package to a another one. I having 2 packages: the parent (parent.dtsx) use a Execute Package Task to execute the child package (child.dtsx). In the parent package, I have a variable named var1 (data type String) with value=test In my child package, I having a script task using the variable var1 to make a MsgBox (var1 is in readonly in the script): MsgBox(CStr(Dts.Variables("var1").Value)) In this case, I having an error (cause the variable may no exist) but i can see the value of the variable in the MessageBox and the execute package task fail because of this error. After I tried this solution: (Found in this Forum) In the child package, I create the variable var1 (same type, no value). Then in the control flow, I right click on the background and select "package configurations". I enable package configurations. Then I add a new one. I change the configuration type to "parent package variable." Then, in the specify configuration settings entry, I enter the name of the variable in the parent package. On the following screen, I select the "value" property of the variable created in this package (Child package). At last, I give the configuration a name and hit finish. If I execute my parent package, the result is no value in the MessageBox. I also tried the same thing (with the package configuration) to pass a a variable with the connection string from a package to the connection of an another one (I set the connection string of the connection) and it doesn't work. What did I miss ? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards

Variable In A Foreach Loop Becomes NULL When Package Executed As Child Package
I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task. The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL. There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop). Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package. (For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)

Parent Child Package With Expressions
Hi there, sorry if the message seems a bit garbled i cannot see the textbox properly with ie7/ff anyways. the situation. childpackage contains a loop-container. in there i use an ole-db-source with a variable based on an expression. ie. "select * from foo where bar=" + len(@[bar]) == 0 ? "initial" : @[bar] + " and etc=1" where bar is the variable that is set by the loop. this works great. however i need to call this package several times, only the expression is a tad different. so i need a scripttask that sets the expression correctly, then i call the childpackage and map the current-expression to the expression in childpackage. how do i do that? or am i doing it wrong? my script-task looks something like: dts.Variable("theVar").Expression = " ""select * from foo where bar="" + len(@[bar]) == 0 ? ""initial"" : @[bar] + "" and etc=1"" " in the childpackage i have a package-conf that maps thevar to thequery with target-object expression.

Parent-&&>Child Package Editing Bug?
Before I submit this to connect, I'd like to see if someone can verify: Create a package that executes another package. When you start debuging (build) the parent package it opens up the child package and executes. Once you're done and stop debugging, the child package remains open. When you make edits to the child package and save and close, none of the edits are saved. You must close the package and re-open it before you make your edits...

Problem Of Parent-Child Package With ASP.Net
I have an ASP.NET application that calls a SSIS package. The SSIS package internally calls some other child packages. I observed that sometimes some child pacakges are not even called by the parent. and the behaviour is very indeterminate. sometimes they work fine. sometimes they don't. There is no clue available for this behaviour when the pacakges are not executed. (One general observation is that the memory consumption is very high. but that is the case always.) I have enabled logging on all child packages. The log is not updated at all when the child packages failed to execute. i.e. the package execution does not start. Could somebody explain why this is happening? any suggestions/ similar experiences? Regards Saurabh

Parent - Multiple Child Package Execution
I have a parent package "A", I also have 4 child packages "B","B1","B2",B3" In BIDS, I created a file connection in the package "A" to connect to the child packages. So whenever I want to run B1 or B2, I change the path in the file connection to point to B1 or B2 and so on. Since the developement environment is File system this works perfectly fine. But in the Test / Production environment all packages are stored in the Sql server. How can I paramaterize the child package connection so that I can use configuration / variables to select which child package to execute. Thanks

Parent / Child Package - Connections, Variables Etc.,
In respect to Parent / Child packages, can some one correct me if I'm wrong. Even if connection managers are created in Parent package, the same needs to be created in child packages if they need to connect to database. On the other hand I can just create connection strings in variable in parent package(instead of connection managers itself) and use parent package variable configuration to configure the connection string of child package with the variable value. Sorry If I'm confusing The same with variables, the parent variable needs to be mapped to a child variable(using parent package variable config) to be used in child package, it cannot be used as it is. Thanks

Package Configuration, Parent-child Packages And Job Scheduling

Is there a way from the job configuration to set a setting so the package allways will have the newest configuration? Regards Simon

Passing Multiple Values From Parent To Child Package
Starting with "How to: Use Values of Parent Variables in Child Packages" in the SQL Server 2005 Books Online (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345179.aspx), it seems I need to create a separate package configuration in the child package (of type parent package variable) for each variable I want to pass from the parent to the child. Is that really so? The XML configuration file type allows me to specify any number of variables; how do I do that with the parent package variable? For that matther, why doesn't the Execute Package Task simply allow me to specify the values of child variables (or other properties) directly? It seems SSIS has made something as trivial as a series of function calls completely opaque: MyChildPackage(var1=1, var2="foo"); MyChildPackage(var1=2, var2="bar"); MyChildPackage(var1=3, var2="baz");

Parent Package Doesn't Recognize Child Settings
I have two issues: I have a simple parent that uses an Execute Package Task to call a simple child package. The child package has a Data Flow that I disabled. When running the child package by itself, the data flow task is bypassed. When running the package via the parent the data flow task executes. Second issue is when you disable the package configurations in the child, the parent doesn't recognize that it's diables and tries to load the configurations. It's almost like there are some settings in a child that get ignored by the parent?? Anyone else experience this? thx

Parent Package Variable Visibility When Designing Packages
I've created an SSIS package that uses parent package variables at several steps in the data flow. However, those parent package variables are only visible during runtime, making debugging the package practically impossible. Let me give you a simplified example: In the parent package, I have a string variable named "sqlLookup" that looks like this: "SELECT * from tblTest WHERE city = " + @city Also in the parent package is a variable named "city" which I can set to the name of the city that I want to query on. This dynamically updates the sqlLookup variable, which is being evaluated as an expression. In the child package, I have an OLE DB Source control which is using the "sqlLookup" variable for its query. I have set up my parent package variable configuration, and it works when I run the package. The problem is this...when I open the child package, I get an error on the OLE DB Source control using the parent package variable, "Command text was not set for the command object". Presumably, this is because the parent package variable is only available during run-time, and not at design time. And, if metadata changes (which it has), I can't get into the OLE DB Source control to edit it, because it throws the error. So, my question is this: are there any workarounds for this problem? Is there a better way to do this? This seems like such an obvious problem that I'm wondering if I either missed a step somewhere, or if I'm just doing it the wrong way. Thanks!

Error Running Child Packages From Parent Package - Error 0xC0011008
Hey... I am running a parent SSIS package (running sp2, 9.0.3042) that calls several child packages. On our development server, we now cannot run this because we get 1 or more of these errors: "Error 0x80004003 while preparing to load the package. Invalid pointer . " "Error 0xC0011008 while preparing to load the package. Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored. . " It is not occuring on the same packages. It varies every time it is run. I can run every one of the child packages individually, using the same login ID that the parent is executed under. The parent package works fine on my local machine and other servers running the same version of SSIS. Just not on this server. Does anyone have any ideas??? Thanks BobP

Parent / Child Variable Frustration
Can't figure out why either of the two setups I've tried on this aren't working. Any help would be appreciated. Business need: Clients upload six MS Access (mdb) data files to server, data files loaded into SS2005 database. Because of legacy concerns, even though each client's six files contain the same data, the individual file names are different. Setup: Package 1 searches the client's ftp folder for new file. If found, contents are unzipped and moved to client's staging folder while uploaded files are archived. Package 1 then calls package 2, passing to it the end date for this particular file, along with client-specific data (e.g. the variables used in the connection strings for the six mdb files and package 2's log file, which appends the client name to a constant file name). Package 1 uses a different config file for each client, and the package is run with that applicable config file. Problem: For some reason, the parent variables are not being passed properly to Package 2. If I run it with the first client, everything works fine. If I run it with the second, Package 1 works fine (finds the file, does the naming, etc.), but Package 2 is using the default variable values that are coded in the Value column in the Variables pane. The first time I tried it, the first step of Package 2 was a script step whose only function was to set Package 2's variables to the values in Package 1: Dts.Variables("package2variablename").Value = Dts.Variables("package1variablename").Value This didn't work at all. The log file's name still used the default column value instead of what Package 1 had, and the package was trying to find the wrong file name in the staging directory. The second time, I set Package 2 up to use configurations and have one parent package entry for each variable I want to set. This worked slightly better, as while there was still a log file with the Value-column value in it, there was also one for the client-specific name. However, the package still failed as Package 2 is still looking for the wrong file name. Obviously there's something in there I haven't set correctly, but I'm at a loss as to what it is.

Problem When Running A SSIS Master-package-child Package On Non Default Sql-server Instance
Hi there We have a SSIS run which runs as follows The master package has a configuration file, specifying the connect strings The master package passes these connect-strings to the child packages in a variable Both master package and child packages have connection managers, setup to use localhost. This is done deliberately to be able to test the packages on individual development pc€™s. We do not want to change anything inside the packages when deploying to test, and from test to production. All differences will be in the config files (which are pretty fixed, they very seldom change). That way we can be sure that we can deploy to production without any changes at all. The package is run from the file system, through a job-schedule. We experience the following when running on a not default sql-server instance (called dkms5253uedw) Case 1: The master package starts by executing three sql-scripts (drop foreign key€™s, truncate tables, create foreign key€™s). This works fine. The master package then executes the first child package. We then in the sysdtslog get: Error - €ścannot connect to database xxx€? Info - €śpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€? The child package then executes OK, does all it€™s work, and finish. Because there has been an error, the master package then stops with an error. Case 2: When we run exactly the same, but with the connection strings in the config file pointing to the default instance (dkms5253), the everything works fine. Case 3: When we run exactly the same, again against the dkms5253uedw instance, but now with the exact same databases defined in the default instance, it also works perfect. Case 4: When we then stop the sql-server on the default instance, the package faults again, this time with Error - €śtimeout when connect to database xxx€? Info - €śpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€? And the continues as in the first case From all this we conclude, that the child package tries to connect to the database before it knows the connection string it gets passed in the variable from the master package. It therefore tries to connect to the default instance, and this only works if the default instance is running and has the same databases defined. As far as we can see, the child package does no work against the default instance (no logging etc.). We have tried delayed validation in the packages and in the connection managers, but with the same results (error). So we are desperately hoping that someone can help us solve this problem. Thanx, /Nils M - Copenhagen

Using Variable/Expression To Log With Parent/Child Packages
I have one package that executes 4 child packages (5 total). All 5 packages are set to log information using a connection string with a variable set at runtime for the location. The child packages use a parent variable to get the log connection string from the parent package. The parent package logs fine, but a strange behavior occurs with the child packages. The child packages all log data to the location used in the configuration file variable during runtime (like it's supposed to). However, I would get an error right before the first child package finishes execution saying path not found. Just for giggles, I created the folder I use in my development environment on the production environment. The error goes away, but the log file is created in that folder with no data in it. Subsequently, the log file with the data is created in the location set in the configuration file. Now I have two log files!!!! Anybody know how to fix this?!

Hi, In my application, i have two package, parent package and child package. the parent package is executing child package using a Execute Package Task. "Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to TRUE. means the child package will be run in separate process not in the process of Parent package. this was working fine, but at a particular client location. its failing the error is "not able to load child package". for me it seems some setting on server restricting to create separate process for child package execution. when "Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to FALSE. its working fine. can anyone help what could cause its failure with property set to TRUE. Appreciate any help.

Parent-child Variable Issues That May Impact Deployment
We are using SSIS for the first time. My team is working on a project that involves putting a date time stamp into a series of tables. These tables are being assembled in a series of child packages being executed by the parent. When the parent runs, we evaluate our timestamp variable as a GETDATE() expression and pass it to the children to be included as a derived column. We don't want the actual runtime of each step to be the timestamp, just the start of the batch (parent). In order to get the variable to pass over to the child, we needed to set the package location to "file system"instead of "SQL Server". It seems unusual that this would be so. Are we doing something wrong? What implications does this have for deployment? Will we need to customize the packages for each instance we plan to run this on? Can you have a parent run a child package on a different instance? This would be a performance plus since we have really huge source databases and would like to distribute the processing. Hmmm, my boss just told me to scratch the whole idea of parent-child and go with a control table to store the variable for all the packages to access. Oh well, I'm still interested in why this is so cumbersome when really its just passing a parameter from one procedure to another. Oh, and I think you could use a spellchecker on this message box. At least I could use one.

Parent Package Variables And SQL Package Store
Hello All, I have a Master Package which calls a group of other packages out on the SSIS Package Store using parent / child and a number of variables. These seem to work when passing various audit information (audit key, record counts, etc) but when I try to pass a variable for the connection string and assign it via an expression to the connection manager, I get the Master Package writing to the correct database and the children package writing to their "default" database which is supplied as the default value in the variables which should be populated by the parent task. i.e., I end up with my master package audit information in database a and child package audit and transactions in database b, even though the packages associated with these transactions are supposed to be reading the connection string from a parent variable. Any clues or suggestions? Edit: It is still passing along the correct parent audit information and record counts, it's just not connecting to the correct database by the variables holding the connect string Thanks for your time.

Aggregation Issue With Parent Child Dimension When Not Using Primary Key
When creating a parent child dimension I am not using the primary key of the underlying table. I define the key when I create the dimension. The parent/child relationship works fine but my measure aggregation does not work. The dimension has a regular relation type to the measure and the primary key from the underlying dimension table is used in the relationship to join in the measure. Since I have not used the primary key in the dimension and have defined my own key the define relationship page warns me that I have selected a non-key granularity attribute and I must directly or indirectly relate all other attributes to it. When I attempt to relate the attributes on the dimension structure tab I receive errors that I have created an attribute loop. Any ideas?

Calling A Child Package From The Main Package
I need to pass variables from the parent package to the child package. I got this to work in a small test case. But in the actual project, I get an error when I try to do that. The parent package's log has this error : Error: Error 0xC0012050 whike loading package file "c:.......". Package failed validation from the ExecutePackage task. The package cannot run.. There's nothing more to go on here in the log. Any ideas ? -chiraj

Run Package On Server CPU Is Done Through SQL Agent: How To Set User Variable In Package Then?
Hi, I have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow. From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job . But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?

Run Package By Other Package With Variable Connection String
I have 2 SSIS package, call A and B store in MSDB. In both package A & B, there are 2 variables "parentConnString" and "connString" I set the "delayValidation" of both package in package level to "True" I use the "connString" to store the OLE DB connection string. I also add a config that the parent package variable "connString" will assign the "parentConnStrnig" in both package. And a script task assign "connString"= "parentConnStrnig" if "parentConnString" is not null After I deployes the package B to the production server, I use a config file to store the value of "connString". I run the package B alone with importing the config file. It works. Package A with similar config as B, It has en execute package task calling B. But the task fail. It said "An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'sa'." I would like to know the following: 1)I use the variable "connString" to store the connection string and the value is set in run-time. Should I set the "delayValidation" to true? The orginal value of "connsString" may not valid in production Env. 2)I set the "delayValidation" to true in pakcage level in package B. Is it the resulted the calling error for package A Thanks you very much.

Help With Parent Package Variables ...
Hi Folks, Followed the instructions here (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345179(SQL.90).aspx) to be able to pass a package variable to it's child packages BUT something is not working. The basic process I followed: 1. Created a variable named BatchID in Parent package (type= DBNull). A script runs in this package that sets it equal to a GUID (varsWrite("BatchID").Value = vars("System::ExecutionInstanceGUID").Value). 2. For each of the child packages I ... a. Create a variable named BatchID (type=DBNull). b. Create a Parent package variable configuration : i. ParentVariable = BatchID ii. Target Property = Variables.BatchID.Properties. Value 3. I save everything, run from the top level package ... and i get different BatchIDs in the tables. Is there something I'm maybe missing??? thanks - wg

Order In Parent Package Configurations
Hi all, I am pretty new to SSIS and i found some, (to me) unexpected behaviour. Maybe you guys can help me out understanding it. I am currently building a multi package ETL solution, that uses parent-package configurations to "distribute" variable values from the "root" package to the lower level and "leaf" packages. Each package contains some 8 parent-package variables. When i ran the entire solution (i.e. the whole tree) I found that some packages aren't getting the correct values for some of their variables. It seems that if a parent-package configuration that wasn't configured correctly (misspelled parent variable name in this case) blocked the other parent-package configurations in the same package from evaluating. When i moved the correct parent-package configuration to execute prior to the incorrect configuration, it ran just ok. So apperently parent-package configurations are evaluated one by one, and if one of them fails, the "later" configurations aren't evaluated any more. Is this a feature? or a bug? Why don't i get a warning in the error list? Should i maybe configure my BIDS in a different fashion? Hope someone can help me out. Cheers, Tom Kronenburg
