Integration Services Project Conversion Wizard
The Integration Services Project Conversion Wizard converts a project to the project deployment model.
Note
If the project contains one or more datasources, the datasources are removed when the project conversion is completed. To create a connection to a data source that can be shared by the packages in the project, add a connection manager at the project level. For more information, see Add, Delete, or Share a Connection Manager in a Package.
