If you're using the Project Deployment Model in combination with sensitive parameters instead of Package Configuration, then the easiest workaround is to use EncryptAllWithPassword or EncryptSensitiveWithPassword with a password that is known within the developmentteam. Then all the sensitive data will be stored in the configuration table or file and when you open the package all this data will be retrieved from the configuration table or file. The easiest way to overcome this, is to use DontSaveSensitive as Package Protection Level in combination with Package Configurations. Because your colleagues will probably have different usernames they can't edit or execute packages that you made without re-entering all sensitive package data. This will encrypt passwords and other sensitive data in the package with the username of the developer. The default Package Protection Level is EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey. Divide the functionality over multiple smaller packages, because you can’t work with multiple developers on the same large package at the same time. Especially when you work with the project deployment model, with which you can only deploy the complete project.ĭon’t make packages to large/complex. Try not to check in package that doesn't work. In Team-menu click Team Project Settings, Source Control Therefore you should disable multiple check out in TFS or check out your package exclusively (not the default in TFS). Working together on the same file at the same time is nearly impossible, because it's hard to merge the XML of two versions of a package. Otherwise your fellow developers cannot change project properties or add new packages.Īdding new package will check out the project First first rename the new package, save it and then check in the project and the new (empty/clean) package. When you add a new package to the project, the project self will be checked out.


There is also an option in Visual Studio to automatically get the latest version of a package when checking it out. Get the latest version of a package before editing it. Get everything when a solution or project is opened. There is also an option in Visual Studio to automatically get the latest version of the solution when opening it. Do this for example each morning or before you start developing. Otherwise you will miss new packages, project connection managers and project parameters. Get the latest version of the project on a regular basis.
