BI performance counter: Rows written

Applies to

SSIS

Description

This performance counter keeps track of total number of output rows that have been written into destination adapters.

This counter will give you an indication of the overall execution progress of your data flow tasks. Because this counter tracks all rows read since the counter was started, you should expect the value of this counter to be very high.
