How do I condition a task based on a parameter

Martin Williams 0

I have an SSIS package that has a boolean parameter called IsProd.

I want the first task in the package to only run if IsProd is true. How do I set this for the first task? How would I do this if the package only has one task and I cannot set from and to in the control flow dialog?

Hi @Martin Williams,

As I already mentioned in my comment on the stackoverflow.com, you need to add an additional Sequence container to the Control Flow. Without it the actual Task cannot control on its own what to do unless it is a Script Task,

You can put an empty Sequence container just before your real Task in the Control Flow. A Precedence constraint between them needs to check if a boolean parameter IsProd is True.

To conditionally execute a task in Azure DevOps based on a parameter, you can utilize expressions in your YAML pipeline. Here's how you can structure your pipeline:Microsoft Learn

yaml
CopyEdit
parameters:
  - name: IsProd
    type: boolean
    default: false

jobs:
- job: Build
  steps:
    - script: echo "This task runs only if IsProd is true."
      condition: eq(parameters.IsProd, true)

In this example, the task will only execute if the IsProd parameter is set to true. This approach allows you to control task execution dynamically based on parameter values.
