Can't connect to SSIS through SSMS

  • I've inherited a poorly documented and configured environment and am trying to upload a SSIS package to be tested. Our dev and test databases are located on the same server, using [servername]\DEV and [servername]\TEST. I've been assured that the packages that have been developed in the past are located on this server.

    When I try to connect to SSIS using [servername], I'm presented with a list of folders under "Stored Packages". The only one which I'm able to expand is MSDB, and this contains a list of what appear to be Maintenance Plan-created packages, i.e., they don't look like anything that we've created here. Additionally, there's a folder called "DEV" and a folder called "TEST", but when I try to expand either of these, I'm met with:

    "Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)

    The SQL Server instance specified in SSIS service configuration is not present or is not available. This might occur... [yadda, yadda]

    Login failed for user [domain][myuser]. (MsDtsSrvr)"

    Now, a couple of things before you start telling me to check out MsDtsSrvr.ini:

    I've confirmed that I can connect to [servername]\DEV and [servername]\TEST. In fact, I'm sysadmin on both.

    When I looked at MsDtsSrvr.ini initially, the ServerName node was set to .\DEV and .\TEST for both of those folders. After changing them to [servername]\DEV and [servername]\TEST and restarting the SSIS service, there was no change in the behavior.

    Halp!

  • have you checked the DCOM Component permissions?

  • No. How or where do I do that?

  • Connect to a Remote Integration Services Server (SSIS Service)

  • You mentioned that both DEV and TEST are on the same server. How are you connecting to [servername], locally or remotely? The following comments assume that you are connecting remotely. I had a similar experience 2 days ago connecting from ssms on my laptop to a remote server. For testing purposes, I shared the packages folder (locate the physical folders wherever they are on the server) on the server and made sure my domain account had access to the share. I then created and entry for the server in the Config file on my laptop above the /TopLevelFolder closing tag as follows:

    <Folder xsi:type="FileSystemFolder">

    <Name>AnyName</Name>

    <Servername>servername</Servername>

    <StorePath>\\servername\packages</StorePath>

    </Folder>

    Then restarted the SSIS service on my laptop and reconnected. I'm no expert but this worked for me, then I began isolating issues which eventuallt led me to the root cause.

  • I'm connecting locally.
