Hi,
It isn't necessary to configure BIDS in a way comparable to the RS2005
configuration tool.
I wasn't sure from your description if you had successfully created a
package from the relevant server i.e. only the view you mention fails
or if every time you attempt to use that server as a source data store
there is a hang.
BIDS does hang occasionally but usually for maybe 10-30 seconds. I
asked during the Beta phase and, if I remember correctly, MS couldn't
repro the problems. They were much more marked in early builds but
still do occur occasionally. Just curious, you didn't by any chance
leave the machine running overnight? In very early builds there was a
hang problem which only affected people i.e. me who left BIDS running
overnight. It was fixed (at least for me).
SP1 is now available. It is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=cb6c71ea-d649-47ff-9176-e7cac58fd4bc. I haven't installed it yet but it is supposed to have several bug
fixes. I do hear, however, of some problems about applying SP1 so
maybe hold fire on that meantime.
