Cannot acquire connection from connection manager

  • I am trying to adjust an SSIS package. I have the login and password saved. I enter the password once and I am able to preview everything in the OLE DB tasks. However, whenever I run the package I get the error in the attachment which says that it can't acquire a connection through the connection manager. I don't know what's going on when it seems the password is saved and I'm not receiving any errors.

  • What is the protection level of the package?

  • Hi,

    Change the package protection level in properties window to 'Encrypt all with user key' and check it.

    Hi,

    Change the package protection level in properties window to 'Encrypt all with user key' and check it.

    That will introduce another series of issues, the most important one is having problems when scheduling the package on the server.

    It's better to use package configurations and store the sensitive information in a configuration.

  • I didn't change the security level of the package. I shouldn't have to as I was just adding some tasks to the package. What I found on the web and ended up doing was removing the config file, running the package and reinstituing the config file and it ran fine.
