Hello all,
I am trying to put together a package that reads data from two different servers and writes to a third, the third server is also, where the package resides. We are having problems with the execution of the package retaining the connection info during execution of a sql job. The connections work when we execute using the IDE but when called by a sql job the read connections to external servers fail. We have the package deployed to Sql Server/msdb.
Thanks,
DK

Does the SQL Agent service user have the requisite privileges to access the other servers?

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

Where the package is deployed doesn't affect the credentials. What matters is the user account used by the SQL Job Agent to execute the package. You have to make sure you use user account, with the required credentials. You have to either include additional permissions to your default SQL Job Agent account or you have to setup proxy account and setup to use the same account you use when running under the IDE.

Thanks for the responses, the package is housed in our Dev-environment and one of the data sources is from a production box, so I am not permitted to grant the Sql Agent windows permissions from Dev to Prod. The angle I was using, right or wrong, was to try to use sql authentication in the package. The sql login/user being used in the package is present on both servers, and uses the same password.

“[Connection manager "Web Data PROD"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'reader'.".”

Am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks,

DK

What package protection level do you use?

EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey

EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey

This setting will not work unless you use the exact same user account you have used to create the package. I would recommend you setup to use EncryptAllSensitiveWithPassword. Then in your SQL Job Agent you have to change the job step to OS CmdExec step type. You have to modify the command line by including DTEXEC in front and you have to include the package decryption password by using : /DE <password>

CozyRoc, all,

I apologize for the delay, and thanks for the help, I ended up using variables and building the connections strings in the package using expressions.

Thanks again,

DK
