Hi All,

I am new to SSIS, what does the "fx" sign next to the connection in the connection manager mean?

Thanks

    It means the connection string isn't fix, there is an expression behind, e.g. to change dynamically a file name.

    Hi @BVK

    The fx means that you are using expression in the connection manager.
