| Challenge | Solution | |-----------|----------| | Connection manager errors | Recreate or update to newer ADO.NET or OLE DB drivers | | Script task compatibility | Retarget .NET Framework to 4.6+ and fix deprecated APIs | | Protection level mismatch | Set ProtectionLevel to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey or use SSISDB environment variables | | Third-party components missing | Reinstall custom data flow components for SSIS 2016+ | | XML namespace changes | Manually edit .dtsx XML: replace DTS:Version=3 with DTS:Version=6 |

  • Package fails to load or deploy: Check SSISDB compatibility level and update any deprecated connection managers.
  • Script Task compile errors: Reopen and rebuild scripts inside the designer; ensure .NET/SDK versions match.
  • Unexpected performance regression: Roll back in staging to capture performance diffs, review buffer settings and parallelism.
  • Third-party component errors: Check vendor guidance for supported builds; update or roll back those components if necessary.
  • Rollback plan:
