33. Click the Value box that corresponds to the Global Variable named sConfigINI.

34. Input the full path with file name for the rsexecutionlog_update.ini file that we copied, along with the other files provided by Reporting Services for Execution Log reporting, into our SSP-RS001 folder, in the Preparation phase of our exercise.


As an example, for my own environment, I enter the following path:


E:DATARDBMS_DATAMSSQLDataReporting_Services_ProjectsSSP-RS001RSExecutionLog_Update.ini


The DTS Package Properties dialog – Global Variables tab appears, with partially visible sConfigINI Value box entry, as depicted in Figure 19.
