Transferring data from one secure server to another -SSIS/SQL Server Agent Jobs

    I have created an SSIS package which moves data from one external server (accessible using a different username (eg USERX) and password from what I login to my PC) to an internal server (Window Authentication login). The package does run successfully but I have 2 issues.

     

    1. When I go back into SSIS/Visual Studio, I often find I have to re-enter the password of the secure website in the connection manager box because the data flow connection no longer seems to be working, even though I have clicked SAVE PASSWORD.
    2. I have set the job up in SQL Server Agent so that it runs the package automatically.  But the job always fails, which I assume is it to with this external password in the server, because the error message says something about not being able to login as USERX . I am assuming this may be related to issue 1 above if the package seems to have a problem when I go back into it.

    any ideas on how to solve this please?

    Happy to post screen shots or details of errors if need be.

     

    thank you so much

    If you have deployed the package to SSISDB, create an environment containing a 'sensitive' variable to store the password.

    Then configure your project in SSISDB to reference the environment and map the variable to the connection's password.

    This solves the server problem.

    I have created the environment.

     

    However I am still getting the following error.

    The WAST-AGL-DW.DataAcademy db is the one which has a separate username and password, which I have added into the environment.

    I don't think that this is a SQL Server or SSIS issue.

    The part of the error message which I would focus on is this: Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection

    Unfortunately, it seems that this is a somewhat generic message which could be the result of several different issues. But if you Google it, you will see that others have had it and found solutions.
