Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You create a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS 2008) project in Microsoft Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008 (BIDS 2008).
-
You have a Balanced Data Distributor (BDD) transformation that is connected to a source and to some downstream components. For example, the BDD transformation is connected to the Lookups and Derived columns.
-
You use the BDD transformation to design a Data Flow task in the SSIS 2008 project.
-
You try to remove the BDD transformation.
In this scenario, BIDS 2008 may crash. When this occurs, you cannot recover any unsaved changes.
Cause
This issue occurs because of a Design-Time issue in the BDD components. This issue occurs only when you use the Business Intelligence Development Studio IDE to process the BDD transformation.
