Aysnchronously calling a package

Hello,

Is there a way to call SSIS package within another SSIS package, asynchronously. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Vishal

Say if you control flow looks like:

step 1
|
|
|_
| |
| |
step 2 step 3
|
|
step 4
And say step 3 is execute package task that you want to run asynchronously.
Can you describe your issues with this? Are you looking for event handlers?

You can use Execute Process task to run the package using DTEXEC.EXE utility.

To run DTEXEC without execute process task waiting for it, either specify a small timeout and set TerminateProcessAfterTimeOut to false, or start the DTEXEC using ‘cmd /c start dtexec.exe /F filename’ command.
