SSIS package items appear blank when I open a project

Question

I am new to SSIS packages and I ran into a problem.

I took a project from a colleague who recently left. He fixed his project and left it in his car. The problem is that when I unzip and open the project on my machine, part of the data stream of the elements will disappear! There's nothing there!

If, however, I unzip and open the project on my machine, all that it invests is. What's happening?

Answer 1

SSIS packages are stored as XML. Therefore, no matter where you open it, the package should open - they can give you an error message if the necessary components are missing, but the data stream will not pass AWOL just because it does not like the desktop wallpaper.

Perhaps this is only about scaling. On your machine, when the package opens, right-click in the yellow area, and in the context menu select ZOOM and TO FIT

In addition, I would check the actual project path of each project in a solution on my workstation against yours.
