What a SISS-up!

Have you ever had the situation where you have set up automated deployment of a SSIS package and you upgrade the package and the SQL Server it is deployed to, then suddenly your packages start behaving weirdly?

Well believe it or not it can happen that you are able to deploy a SQL Server 2016 package to a SQL Server 2016 server using a 2014 SSIS deployment wizard and get no exceptions during deployment. Then your packages start misbehaving, like simply missing out script tasks and completing successfully. I kid you not!

So, there lesson here is that just because it deployed successfully using the wrong wizard, don't assume it will work correctly.
