This wizard runs when you add a new configuration or modify an existing one in the **Package Configurations Organizer** dialog box. To open the **Package Configurations Organizer** dialog box, select **Package Configurations** on the **SSIS** menu in [!INCLUDE[ssBIDevStudioFull](../includes/ssbidevstudiofull-md.md)]. For more information, see [Create Package Configurations](../../2014/integration-services/create-package-configurations.md). > [!NOTE] > Configurations are available for the package deployment model. Parameters are used in place of configurations for the project deployment model. The project deployment model enables you to deploy [!INCLUDE[ssISnoversion](../includes/ssisnoversion-md.md)] projects to the [!INCLUDE[ssISnoversion](../includes/ssisnoversion-md.md)] server. For more information about the deployment models, see [Deployment of Projects and Packages](packages/deploy-integration-services-ssis-projects-and-packages.md). The following sections describe pages of the Wizard. ## Welcome to the Package Configuration Wizard Page Use the **SSIS Configuration Wizard** to create configurations that update the properties of a package and its objects at run time. ### Options **Don't show this page again** Skip the welcome page the next time you open the wizard. **Next** Go the next page in the wizard. ## Select Configuration Type Page Use the **Select Configuration Type** page to specify the type of configuration to create. If you need additional information to determine which type of configuration to use, see [Package Configurations](../../2014/integration-services/package-configurations.md). ### Static Options **Configuration type** Select the type of source in which to store the configuration, using the following options: |Value|Description| |-----------|-----------------| |**XML configuration file**|Store the configuration as an XML file.

Selecting this value displays the dynamic options in the section, **Configuration Type**.| |**Registry entry**|Store the configuration in the Registry. Selecting this value displays the dynamic options in the section, **Configuration Type**.| |**Parent package variable**|Store the configuration as a variable in the package that contains the task. Selecting this value displays the dynamic options in the section, **Configuration Type**.| |**SQL Server**|Store the configuration in a table in [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)]. Selecting this value displays the dynamic options in the section, **Configuration Type**.| **Next** View the next page in the wizard sequence. ### Dynamic Options #### Configuration Type Option = XML Configuration File **Specify configuration settings directly** Use to specify settings directly. |Value|Description| |-----------|-----------------| |**Configuration file name**|Type the path of the configuration file that the wizard generates.| |**Browse**|Use the **Select Configuration File Location** dialog box to specify the path of the configuration file that the wizard generates. If the file does not exist, it is created by the wizard.| **Configuration location is stored in an environment variable** Use to specify the environment variable in which to store the configuration. |Value|Description| |-----------|-----------------| |**Environment variable**|Select an environment variable from the list.| #### Configuration Type Option = Environment Variable **Environment variable** Select the environment variable that contains the configuration information. #### Configuration Type Option = Registry Entry **Specify configuration settings directly** Use to specify settings directly. |Value|Description| |-----------|-----------------| |**Registry entry**|Type the Registry key that contains the configuration information.

Many SQL Server configurations can be stored in the same table, and each configuration can include multiple configuration items.

This user-defined value is stored in the table to identify configuration items that belong to a particular configuration| **Configuration location is stored in an environment variable** Use to specify the environment variable where the configuration is stored. |Value|Description| |-----------|-----------------| |**Environment variable**|Select an environment variable from the list.| ## Select Objects to Export Page Use the **Select Target Property or Select Properties to Export** page to specify the object properties that the configuration contains.
