Control Flow vs Data Flow

	Control Flow	Data Flow
Step	1st step for creating package	2nd step for creating package, it will be part of control flow
Made up of	Containers and tasks connected with precedence constraints	Source, transformation and destinations
About	It is about data preparation and managing the process	It is about ETL activities
Smallest unit	Task	Component
Data movement	It does not move the data from one task to another task	It moves the data from source to destination
Processing	Task1 has to be completed before Task2 begins	Multiple components can be processed at the same time
Count	Only 1 control flow is available	There can be multiple data flow tasks inside control flow
Error output	Explicit Error output is not there but it can be achieved by editing precedence constraint	Error output is available in source/transformation/destination
