Implementing Error Handling in SSIS

I've been trying to get to grips with SQL Server Integration Services, as opposed to the old DTS technology in SQL Server 2000. It's a task.

One of the things I've found difficult is to implement error handling, and after poring over much rubbish on the net, I found two useful blogs on the subject. Both of them have reusable code which is easily added to existing DTSX packages.

Step one is to read this blog by Jamie Thomson at SSIS Junkie.

Then, this additional blog adds a lot more detail and allows you to store errors in a database table which is very useful if your application has a lot of flat file data inputs (such as a reconciliation).

Now I just need to add error handling which will detect if the file is not there at all, and log that too!
