| hi! I join a datawarehouse project which already run in 2 years. There is few document left,so I can't see the whole picture of the project and data movement. Now I've tried to trace these data movement and keep it in record. I wonder if there is a helpful tool could manage these data movement. My project use MS SQL 2005. need some suggestion. thanks a lot! |

| Something like Visio diagrams does the trick. It is suggested you visually diagram out all your ETL packages - so it can help you visualize your data movement and help with actual design of the ETL packages. Sounds like this process would help get you what you want albeit it's after the project instead of early on in development.

| but Visio can't generate the file from a package himself. so you just move the problem... or if it can do this... I'm interesting in the how to do this. I recommend to take a look at the BI metada sample toolkit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en this tool scan the packages and generate a metadata which can be used for documentation and impact analysis purpose.
