Package calling other package and passing back the control to calling package

Question

I have to loop through n number of package from a master package, any idea how to implement this?
Master package Calling child package in for each loop , here I need to loop through n no or rec from a table and each record needs a call to child package and return control back to calling pkg.. need to do this till the end of all the records in a table.
Child package1 -- Called perform some task and return control back to master package
Child package2 -- Called perform some task and return control back to master package
Child package n -- Called perform some task and return control back to master package
Thanks

You'll need following
1. A Execute SQL Task to retrieve the list of child packages to be called from table. Use your query inside, set ResultSet option as FullResultset and map the resultset index 0 to a object variable you create inside in the ResultSet tab.
2. Use For Each Loop with ADO enumerator and map to earlier created object variable. Inside create variables to retrieve individual column values out one of which will contain package name
3. Add a Execute Package Task inside the loop, choose Location as filesystem and map the Connection property to variable containing package name in expession window as per below
I assume the table stores the full path of package variable otherwise you need to add another variable to hold the path and a third variable to concatenate path + packagename to get the fully qualified package path value and assign it to execute package
task.
