Assigning a Version Number to a Package
You can assign a version number to a package to identify different versions of the package. For example, you might want to assign a new version number to a package when you add new services to the package or after you fix bugs in a package. You might find assigning version numbers especially helpful if you work in a development environment where more than one person makes changes to a package.
Keep the following in mind when assigning version numbers to packages:
*By default, Designer assigns the version number 1.0 to each package that you create.
*When you change the version number of a package, make sure that you update the package dependencies for other packages that depend on the earlier version of this package.
*Assign and change package version numbers through Designer only when the packages are in a development stage. To avoid difficulties installing package releases, do not change version numbers on packages you receive from trading partners, packages to which you subscribe, or packages installed with Integration Server.
*To assign a version number to a package
1. In Package Navigator view, select the package to which you want to assign a version number.
2. Click File > Properties.
3. In Properties for PackageName dialog box, select Package Settings.
4. In the Package Version field, type the version number you want to assign to the package. Be sure to format the version number in one of the following ways: X.X or X.X.X (for example, 1.0, 2.1, 2.1.3, or 3.1.2).
5. Click OK.
