SSIS\SQL Agent\Oracle job not running

  • We are having a problem running an SSIS package from SQL Agent. The package connects to an Oracle 10 database, runs a view and imports data into a SQL Server table. We just installed Oracle client 11 on the server and that seems to be OK; we can connect through sqlplus and Toad.

    When remoting in to the server to run manually it's fine. When attempting to run on a SQL Agent schedule we get the following error:

    Sounds like it doesn't know what version of Oracle client we are using. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hi Dale,

    i could imagine the cause of your problem is the different user that is running your package. If you do it manually you are connected with a windows user that has rights on the servers, an environment, an system DSN, ... and so on. The user "MTA46DEV\SYSTEM" will have complete different conditions. I don't know where exactly you should change the user, you can run the SQL Agent service with a different user, you can give the job an other owner, you can run each step with his own user, ...

    Kind regards

  • In googling for info the user issue was the most common problem, and after I left this message I tried changing users\owners to various system or network accounts. At first that didn't seem to help but the next day (yesterday) it began running. I thought I unchanged everything back to original but must have missed something. I haven't had time yet to go back and make a thorough check.

    Thanks
