Question : Separate SSIS server for ETL Tasks

We planning for a new BI Suite with analysis services 2008 with the below flow diagram

OLTP(Replication) ------>Datamart---------->Cubes

We have decided to use SSIS packages for ETL Transformation to datamart.
My question is :
WE are planning to have SSIS packages run on a different server to ease memory and disk contention.Can we use standard edition of SQL Server
to perform the SSIS tasks separately?

Note:Analysis sevice server and the replication server sits on SQL enterprise edition.

Regards,
Venkat

Answer : Separate SSIS server for ETL Tasks

Hi Bruj,

I studied the problem and discovered new and amazing thing for me. Never before I've met a task where there was necessary to use Activecell.
I found that when we assign Formula to the Format Condition, it is translated as if being applied to the Activecell. So if we've composed a formula for the top left cell of CF range (assuming that it has proper relative/absolute references to be expanded over the range) we must set Activecell to the top left cell of CF range. The easiest way to do this is to select the CF range. So you were right in general about selection.

I hope that this macro is suitable for you.

        .Select                     'to set ActiveCell to top left corner of the range
        .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=COUNTIF($E$3:$E3,$E3)>1"
        .FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 44
