| Goal | Success Metric | |------|----------------| | Provide a that lists all configurable properties of a selected data‑flow component (including third‑party and script‑component variables). | 90 % of surveyed developers can locate the property in ≤ 2 clicks. | | Allow direct binding of any of those properties to a Package Parameter (or Project Parameter) via drag‑and‑drop or a simple “Map” button. | 100 % of mappings are persisted in the package’s .dtsx without manual XML edits. | | Preserve backward compatibility : packages created in older SSIS versions continue to run unchanged. | No regression failures in existing integration tests for legacy packages. | | Enable CI/CD injection of parameter values through dtsconfig , SQL Server Integration Services Catalog environment variables, or Azure Data Factory pipelines. | Deploy pipelines can set the value of the new dynamic property via the catalog’s set_parameter API with no errors. | | Provide validation (type‑check, range, enum) at design‑time and clear error messages at runtime. | 0 % of runtime failures caused by mismatched types for dynamically bound properties. | SSIS-668
| # | Requirement | Details | |---|-------------|---------| | | Property Discovery UI | • When a data‑flow component is selected, a pane “Component Properties” appears. • The pane lists all public properties (including read/write, enum, Boolean, numeric, string, and script‑component variables). • Each property shows its data type, default value, and a brief description (sourced from the component’s IDTSComponentMetaData metadata). | | FR‑2 | Parameter Mapping Interaction | • Next to each property, a “Map to Parameter” dropdown is shown. • The dropdown lists all Package‑Level and Project‑Level parameters that have a compatible data type (automatic conversion for numeric ↔ string where safe). • A “Create New Parameter” button opens a modal to define a new parameter (name, type, default, description). | | FR‑3 | Expression Generation (under the hood) | • When a mapping is saved, SSIS automatically creates an Expression on the component’s property that references the chosen parameter ( @[User::MyParam] ). • The expression is persisted in the package XML (no manual editing required). | | FR‑4 | Runtime Resolution | • At package execution, the SSIS runtime resolves the expression to the current parameter value (including values supplied by the catalog, dtsconfig, or command‑line). | | FR‑5 | Validation | • Design‑time: if a selected parameter’s type is incompatible, the UI shows a warning icon with a tooltip explaining the mismatch. • Runtime: if a value cannot be coerced (e.g., “abc” into an Int32 ), the component fails with a clear error: “Property FastParse expects an integer but received ‘abc’”. | | FR‑6 | Undo/Redo & Source Control | • All mapping actions are recorded in the SSIS design‑time undo stack . • The mapping is stored as part of the component’s <Properties> XML block, so it appears in source‑control diffs. | | FR‑7 | Export/Import | • When a package is exported as a .dtsx, the mapping information remains intact. • The feature works in both SSDT (Visual Studio) and Azure Data Factory Integration Runtime design surfaces. | | FR‑8 | Documentation Generation | • The “Generate Documentation” tool now includes a table “Dynamic Parameter Bindings” per data‑flow, showing component → property → parameter. | | FR‑9 | Backward Compatibility Toggle | • A project setting “Enable Dynamic Property Mapping” (default ON). When OFF, the UI hides the new mapping UI, preserving the exact behavior of older SSIS versions. | Ensure that the account executing the SSIS package

At first glance, this error message seems straightforward, but as we delve deeper, we realize that the issue is more complex than it appears.
