I took a package created on the 1st box (but never deployed) and brought it over to the 2nd box and imported it into a new profile. SQL Server on box 2 does't not have a database Netpark I try to deploy the package and get this • 8/19/2008 11:05:46 AM-> Deploying meta-data for database 'Netpark' X 8/19/2008 11:05:46 AM-> Creating database 'Netpark' failed.

I do see PRIMARY under filegroups in the profile. Not sure what the DDT is complaining about, but no database is getting deployed Thoughts?

You have the primary file group, but there is not a specific data file defined underneath it...does that make sense? Just select the PRIMARY file group, then add a data file underneath it with the standard $dbname$ and default settings and then try to re-deploy and you should be good to go.

After saving the name of my database was substituted. Package now deploys with not problem.
