  • Did you get an answer this as I have hit the same problem today? On SQL Server 2012 - I created a SSIS package using an oData connection to SharePoint 2010.

    Works fine in Visual Studio but when deployed to SSIS Catalog and set up as a job in SQL Agent, it fails with message "the connection type 'ODATA' is not recognised as a valid Connection Manager type"

    Anyone else hit this problem and got is working?

  • Yes it got solved..in my case odata was not installed on the machine from whic iam running the sql agent job.once i had installed it ran fine

  • Thank you for the reply. Do you have any notes on how to install on the machine where the Agent service runs? I assume that is the SQL Server machine itself.

    We installed it on our client machine where we do design work in Visual Studio but I guess there needs to be an extra step to install on SQL Server machine.

  • yes you are right..

    We need to install on the client machine /Sqlserver machine from which we are going to run the sql agent .

    You can download odata component from the below lin k and let me know if you are still facing any issues
