Limitations on running SSIS on x64, Both Design mode and Run Mode
Design Time:
1) Cannot debug Scripts
2) Cannot design packages in BI Development Studio on Itanium-based operating systems
3) If you want to select a specific 64-bit provider to configure a connection manager, you must have the 32-bit version of the provider installed
Run Time:
1) Cannot run packages that contain scripts—for example, in Script tasks or Script components—in 64-bit mode unless the scripts have been precompiled
2) May not be able to connect to as many data sources from a package executing in 64-bit mode as you can from a package executing in 32-bit mode
3) You cannot use the "Execute DTS 2000 Package task" in a package running in 64-bit mode as Data Transformation Services runtime is not available in a 64-bit version.
Comments
If they had not wasted their time and our money on Vista, perhaps we would not be in such sad shape now.
