There are lot of things going on in the DDF file, but here is what I think is important to understand.

* Comments in the file begin with a semi-colon
* .OPTION lines tell the MAKECAB utility what options to use when building the CAB archive
* .Set lines tell the MAKECAB utility what values to apply to certain parameters that are used when building the CAB archive
o Make sure the CabinetNameTemplate parameter is set to what the name of the WSP file will be (in the example above the MAKECAB utility will generate a CAB archive named my.wsp)
* Each content file to be added to the CAB archive is listed on a line in a space separated source-destination format
o For example, this CAB archive will contain an HTML file (my.html); the last line in the example above tells the MAKECAB utility to grab the my.html file from the file system (the source location) and place copy it to LAYOUTS/mysample/my.html in the CAB archive (the destination location)
o Double quotes can be used to define sources that contain spaces in the path or file name
o Make sure to include the solution meta-data XML file (manifest.xml) at the root of the CAB archive

The next step is to create the solution manifest file .

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

The example is a very simple solution manifest, but there are a couple of things to take away from it.

* Every solution has a GUID (globally unique identifier) that identifies uniquely
* As a general rule, every deployment file, schema,

example of creating a simple Task Dashboard. This is a pretty basic example of using all OOTB (out of the box) features and combining them to quickly build a solution. Scenario: We want to provide a way for users to easily see a summary of the current project tasks. We want them to be able to see the following information: Open Tasks Assigned to Them Overdue Tasks Tasks Due This Week Task Calendar Tasks Assigned to Others Solution: To build this solution we will be using several different tools available in SharePoint, all included in the list below: Task List Task List Views We will create views for each of the different ways we want to see the data displayed on our dashboard. Web Part Page List View Web Parts Custom Navigation The first thing we will do is create our task lists and then configure all the views that we need. To create the list, go to View All Site Content, Create and then select the Task list. Next, we will need to configure our custom views. To do this, w

MERGE transformation in SSIS

In this post we are gonna discuss about MERGE transformation. MERGE in SSIS is equal to UNION ALL in SQL Server. This transformation unions two datasets/tables.The merge Transformation combines two  sorted  dataset into single dataset. Highlighted the text SORTED in last statement because “It is not possible to use MERGE when the inputs are NOT SORTED”. There is one more transformation which is very similar to this i.e UNION ALL. The Merge Transformation is similar to the union all transformations. Use the union all transformation instead of the merge transformation in the following situations. The transformation inputs are not sorted The combined output does not need to be sorted. The transformation has more than two inputs. MERGE takes ONLY TWO inputs where as UNION ALL can take more than two. Now lets see how to configure MERGE transformation with an example. I created TWO tables with names MergeA and MergeB and inserted few records into each table as shown below.
