SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS), you create an SSIS package. The SSIS package contains some Script tasks or Script components. When the file size of the SSIS package increases to more than 7 megabytes (MB), you receive the following error message when you try to save the SSIS package in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio

CAUSE
This problem occurs because heap memory is fragmented in the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio process.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, break up the SSIS package into smaller packages. If you want to provide contiguous workflow in the package design, you can run the child packages from the context of the parent package by using the Execute Package task. Or, run the child packages as separate steps from a SQL Server Agent job.
