Is there an easy method of process mapping a complex SSIS package so I can print it out?
I have taken ownership of a very complex SSIS package with multiple files and routes. Is there an easy method of process mapping the whole process开发者_如何学编程 automagically so I can print it out and understand it?
Edit: Added a screenshot of an example SSIS package that I need to map.

Cheers, Ian.
You'll have your reasons for wanting to do this, but, for me, SSIS pacakges should be largely self documenting.
Its not like a standard code module that has many lines of code, functions, and paths through, etc. The IDE is inherently visual/WYSIWYG, so I'm not entirely sure what your documentation needs are.
That said, clearly its enough of a pain for you to post here for suggestions. Is there any chance you could provide more info, even a screenshot/link to see what we're dealing with.
I certainly curious :)
I've not used either, but you could look at SSIS Documenter and BI Documenter
In my opinion before you spend more time looking for some outside tool, try just running the actual package step-by-stepusing some test data to see what it does. When I was passing along some large SSIS packages I wrote to other engineers that's how I explained them.
