Hey guys,
    I've ran into an issue deploying package files from a dvd.  The meta-data phase works smoothly, but then errors when attempting to deploy the actual data.  The error message is 'Access to path D:\mypackage.pkg' is denied.

I was able to get around this by changing the code in DbEngine -> DatabaseMigrator -> EnumDeploymentPackages where it was attempting to open it with FileAccess.ReadWrite (the default for a new PackageFile). 

from:
Dim loPackage As New PackageFile(MetaDataPkgPathAndFileName, True, False, PkgPassword)

to this:
Dim lopackage As New PackageFile()
lopackage.FileOpenAccess = FileAccess.Read
lopackage.Open(MetaDataPkgPathAndFileName, True, False, PkgPassword)

Any chance of including this in your next update/release?

 

 

 

You can disregard the previous post.  There appeared to be some type of corruption in the package file where it wasn't copying out the DataDeployment.xml.  Other package files appear to be copying it correctly. 

As for the multiple .bin files, I think our best option at the moment is two packages, one that deploys just the meta data and a second that is data only. 

I agree, this way you will have better control on the ending result if one of the package fails.

Alan,



As I think that you have already discovered, the logic you are expecting is already the way it works. So if you have any continued problems, please let us know. Thanks.
