DS : Things In & Out

Posted by RISHABH AWASTHI Sep 17, 2013

Just to have fun with DS..
 If you want to stop staring at the trace log and wait for it to show "JOB COMPLETED
SUCCESSFULLY".
You can use an easy aid in DS..

Go to Tools --> Options...

Then break out Designer and click on General.

Then click the box that says: Show Dialog when job is completed.

Now whenever your job completes, you'll get a little dialog box popping up to let you know.

 One of the annoying defaults in Data Services is that all the names in Workflows or Dataflows are cut
off after 17 characters.

So to fix this go to Tools -> Options

Then break out Designer and click on General.

Where it says: Number of characters in workspace name. Change the number 17 to 100.
Click OK when it asks you if you want to overwrite the job server parameters.
