Requesting an execution tree in SSDT

Every time the execution of an SSIS package is started, the SSIS execution engine first prepares the execution plan. This plan contains the package metadata used by the execution engine to determine the range of resources that are going to be needed to perform the operations defined by the package.

The Execution Tree of a given SSIS package, representing its execution plan, can be prepared on demand at design time. The functionality is available when the SSIS package is being edited in SSDT. The purpose of the Execution Tree is to provide you with the same information the execution engine uses to determine resource usage. By examining the Execution Trees, you can understand the expected behavior of the package in terms of resource usage, and become familiar with resource requirements before the SSIS package is deployed, or used, in the destination environment.

In this recipe, you are going to configure an SSIS package to capture two special events during...
