I have a task to check the connection managers as part of ssis integration project, now the package should be running on a different server.
I see a connection manager with .net providers/sqlclient data provider, server as "CCSQL", sql server authentication and service account as "SA".
The server name is CCSQL and in the new server it doesnt work obviously as it is not resolved to a host. Could this be a custom sql connection alias which has to be created? Any hints on this connection manager server?

Can you provide a screen shot, as I'm not sure exactly what you mean?

Hi Phil,

Please find the screenshot. What could CCSQL mean in a server name?

If you do not have a server called CCSQL, I think it may be an alias to a server.

Read more about aliases here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/create-or-delete-a-server-alias-for-use-by-a-client?view=sql-server-ver16

If you don't need or want to use an alias here, simply overtype it with the new server's name (which may need to be qualified, depending on your network config).

Thanks Phil. I will check this.

One more query related to this. In the screenshot you can see that "save my password" is checked for the user "SA". How can i check or view this password. I have the solution file with me of the project.

That is probably not possible, for obvious reasons of security.

Has your existing solution been deployed to SSISDB? Are you using SSISDB environments to configure things like connection strings in different environments? Those environment variables (if they exist) may give you some useful clues.
