SSIS package script logging

I am new to SSIS packages and I am trying to get logging to work from within a custom script. We have it logging the native messages from the package already but I want t开发者_运维技巧o add my own custom log messages to it. I see on the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponent class there is a Log method but I am unsure what to use for the dataCode and dataBytes arguments so I used 0 and an empty array but this did not log anything.

So how do I get the logging to work from within my script? Are there any configurations that I need to know about to enable it?

Thanks

Note: I am working with SqlServer 2008 SP2 (not R2)

You need to make sure that the task is enabled for logging. Select SSIS > Logging... from the BIDS menu. Select your data flow task. On the Providers and Logs tab, ensure that a log provider is selected. Select the Details tab and Check the ScriptComponentLogEntry event. Note that this event is not inherited from the Package settings; so you have to select the data flow task. Now your logging should be captured.

You may also be interested in the ComponentMetaData.FireInformation method to log an information event. Here's more information on FireInformation and related methods. You may find these easier to configure, since the associated events (OnInformation for FireInformation) are inherited from the package settings. In other words, if you set logging for the OnInformation event at the package level, all tasks will log the OnInformation event.
