The tomb...

The tomb is coming along. Don't know if we'll actually arrive at the mark we set for ourselves in terms of actual content and scope, but we're well underway now.

My co-author is in high gear, our "one in the world" technical editor is on board with large red marker in hand.

Things are moving along now.

My blog content is definitely suffering, however.

Oh well, priorities you know...

Keys to looking up log entries...

A customer asked how he could programmatically determine the ExecutionID of the package so he could look up the corresponding log entries in the log tables.

Overall, this is a general problem for how to qualify searches for package metadata.

As a general rule, you can use the ExecutionInstanceGUID system variable value with the packageID as a composite primary key for accessing and maintaining package execution metadata.
