Parent / Child Package - Connections, Variables Etc.,

In respect to Parent / Child packages, can some one correct me if I'm wrong.

Even if connection managers are created in Parent package, the same needs to be created in child packages if they need to connect to database. On the other hand I can just create connection strings in variable in parent package(instead of connection managers itself) and use parent package variable configuration to configure the connection string of child package with the variable value.

Sorry If I'm confusing

The same with variables, the parent variable needs to be mapped to a child variable(using parent package variable config) to be used in child package, it cannot be used as it is.

Thanks

I think everything you've stated is correct.|||

Thanks for the confirmation Phil. Let me see how my experiment with Parent / Child packages goes.

Just a thought, It would be good to just specify the parent package in the child package and if it can pick up the variables, connections from the parent package.

Thanks
