I would like to report what appears to me to be a bug. I found it while researching an answer for another thread. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=554926&SiteID=17
Since that thread has not received any further replies I thought I would start a new one to see what answer we can get from MS as well as if anyone else would care to reproduce.
The bug is not a major one and the work around is easy, but it can be annoying.
The bug is this: if I open an SSIS package in BIDS (RTM or SP1) and the only change I make is adding or modifying an annotation and then click on Save and then close BIDS does not save the new annotation or changes made to existing annotations. If I change something other than an annotation then BIDS does save the annotations with the package.
A careful observer will notice that when opening a package and then modifying or adding an annotation that BIDS does not even register that the package has been changed. This is evident by the lack of the trailing asterisk in the title bar after the package name.
In summary if I go into a package for the sole purpose of adding and/or modifying annotations they will not get saved. Workaround: modify something else in the package and then save.
The best thing to do with bugs - report them at betaplace. Forum is good for discussing things, but for reporting bugs the betaplace is better, and the customer feedback it is major stimul for bug to get attention and considered for fixing in SP.
