SSIS: The package format was migrated from version 6 to version 8. It must be saved to retain migration changes


Visual Studio Version 11.0.61219.00 Update 5 SQL Server Data Tools 11.1.50730.0 SQL Server 2014 12.0.4213.0

I have converted a SQL 2005 SSIS to, what I would assume, would be the latest version of SSIS.

Using Visual Studio I have the deployed the project to a SQL2014 Server. Each package within the project, when run, shows the following warning:

The package format was migrated from version 6 to version 8. It must be saved to retain migration changes.

Any ideas why this is and how to rectify?

Incidentally, within VS when I click on SSIS Packages --> Upgrade All Packages then none of the packages are displayed. Presumably because VS thinks they are all up to date?

Solution

  • I had upgraded the package to a later version of SSIS - but not the latest.

    I downloaded the latest SSDT; upgraded the package and deployed. All was then OK.

    Before I performed the final upgrade I was getting the message:

    The package format was migrated from version 6 to version 8. It must be saved to retain migration changes.

    This no longer appears - much happier!
