Hi forum,
I am trying to make sure an SSIS package runs on SQL Server Agent and i am getting nowhere.
It run ok in BIDS, but i am getting error when i do it from SQL Server Agent.
Errors:
Code: 0xC001401E Source: ProcessBankFile Connection manager "Flat File Destination Manager"
Code: 0xC001401D Source: ProcessBankFile Description: Connection "Flat File Destination Manager" failed validation.
Path is: \\servername\import_folder\filename
What i am trying to do is run this packeage form a remote server (my next question), but i am trying to make sure that it works in SQL Serve Agent first.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Manuel Roman

Has the SQL Server Job Agent account access to the specified path?

Maybe he hasn't the permission to read files in that folder.

i didn't know that SQL Server agent needed to have permissions for that.

How can i find out?

Check the security settings on your remote share to see if the SQL Server Agent account has the access you need.

And how do i do that?

I don't know where to look for security settings for my remote share.

We have 3 severs: 1 app server, 1 terminal services and 1 SQL server.

i can exceute the package from within SSIS... (in SQL SERVER)

i cannot excecute the package from SQL Server Agent (same SQL Server).

In the package i need to access fodlers from the App Server, is that what i need to make sure i have access to?

Bottom line is that i need to execute the job from the App server, but that is a question for later....

Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager and see which account the SQL Server Agent uses.

Then make sure that this account has read (and if needed, write) permissions on the folders of your App server.

in The properties tab the Built-in Account is Local System.

manuelroman98 Mr or Mrs. 500 Points: 593 More actions · Answer 7

The Apps folder has permissions for 'Everyone'

That should be enough right?

Although it is not very secure, that should do it.

Microsoft discourages the use of Local System as account though:

What is the specific error that you get when you try to run the package? Only that the Destination Manager failed validation?

Got it.

I've talked to the Administrator, they are going to change it this weekend, thanks for the tip.

The error reads:

Error: 2010-03-12 10:05:23.12 Code: 0xC001401E Source: ProcessBankFile Connection manager "Flat File Destination Manager" Description: The file name "\\server_name\export\BANK IMPORTS\Export to SAP\BANK_FILE.csv" specified in the connection was not valid. End Error Error: 2010-03-12 10:05:23.12 Code: 0xC001401D Source: ProcessBankFile Description: Connection "Flat File Destination Manager" failed validation.

You have SQL Agent setup to use the localsystem account which does not have access to remote resources (ie the share on the app server).

You'll need to change the Agent account to a domain account which has access or setup a proxy and execute the job step using that http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189064.aspx

This is the command code from the SQL Server Agent job:

/FILE "C:\Documents and Settings\mroman\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\bank_file\bank_file\ProcessBankFile.dtsx" /CONNECTION "Flat File Destination Manager";"\\ServerB\export\BANK IMPORTS\Export to SAP\BANK_FILE.csv" /CONNECTION O0195;"\\D1rv210b\export\BANK IMPORTS\BANK FILES ARCHIVE\O01952010-03-12.RCN" /CONNECTION SourceFlatFile;"\\ServerB\export\BANK IMPORTS\O0195.RCN" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
