How do I specify my SSIS package to use a domain service account when deployed and called from an Agent Job?
The Connection Manager is set to use [Windows Authentication], so I think it is using my windows credentials during development. However I want the package to use a domain service account with a non-expiring password when running as a Job on SQL Server.
How can I do this? Thanks for any guidance.
You or your DBA should do the following on the SQL Server:
Create a SQL Credential for a desired Domain Account.
Create a SQL Agent Proxy of type SSIS Package Execution and bind it to the Credential created.
On the SQL Job step - specify created Proxy in Run As: dropdown
These steps allows to run specified SSIS Package under account of the SQL Credential.
Here is a good sample on how to set it up.

Hello is it possible to define the SMTP server address from a query in a SSIS package
I understand it might be through the expressions section see image
Any help is appreciated
SSIS provides a way of configuring packages with parameters so that they can run with different values in different environments.
In your case, right click the connection manager for the smtp server and select parameterize.... In the dialogue, select the property, name the parameter and select whether you want it scoped to the project or package. If you select project, other packages will be able to reuse it.
When this is finally deployed to the SSISDB catalog, you can configure the parameters in the sql agent job step or you can use Environments to preconfigure the project and packages. Here are more details about parameters:

I'm having a problem while deploying SSIS Package in Integration Services Catalog. It gives me error like this when I try to create a folder in SSISDB
"Operation 'Create' on object 'CatalogFolder[#Name=SSISTEST']' failed
during execution. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)

It seems like I cannot use SQL server authentication user for creating a catalog. When I was trying to Deploy the project through BIDS the same thing happens it's going to use windows authentication which is not valid in my case.
Is there any way I can use SQL server authentication for deployment purpose.
SQL Server Authentication is not supported for the Project Deployment model.
There is no hack, no workaround - a windows account must be authenticated to SQL Server and authorized to do the deploy.
I am trying to run my SSIS Package via SQL Server Agent Jobs. In the SSIS Project I have Connections to My SQL Database as PROJECT Connections. I have set them up like this as all Packages call this connection. However when running it in SQL Server Agent I get error saying:
The connection "{}" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
It obviously can't locate the connection so how do I do this ? - The package executes successfully when executed via Visual Studio.
Many Thanks In Advance !

First, you need to create an Integration Services Catalog on your server instance. You will deploy your packages to the catalog.
A best practice for specifying the server in your connection managers is to use a single period, which references the local machine. That way, when you deploy your packages, the local machine will always be used:
After you've created your package(s) with project-level connections, you need to deploy the project. Right-click the project folder in SQL Server Data Tools/BIDS, then click Deploy. In the deployment wizard, specify the destination server (or just use "." again to deploy to the local instance) and the Integration Services (IS) Catalog folder:
Once deployed to your SQL Server instance's IS Catalog, you can set the Package Source in the Job Step Properties to "SSIS Catalog" and select the package that you deployed.
If you're exporting/importing to/from files, you'll want to ensure that the SQL Server Agent Service Account has appropriate rights to the folder where files are imported/exported. The easiest way to do that is to create a credential (usually a Windows user account), then create a SQL Server Agent Proxy that uses the credential, and then specify that proxy in the job step's Run as field.
Here's what your Job Step Properties window would look like after following all of the steps above:
The job should then run successfully.
FYI, you can also execute the package directly from the SSIS Catalog. Simply drill down into the Integration Services Catalog node of your server | right-click the package | click Execute....

If you setup your configurations on the configurations tab in the Step properties of the SQL Server Job that should allow you to accomplish what you asked.
I've run into this twice now where I can run my SSIS package in BIDS and Integration Services but it fails when it's run through SQL Server Agent. Both of these packages transfer a file as a final step to a folder on our network.
The error I receive is Could not find a part of the path then the path and file name. When I schedule them in Windows Task Scheduler they execute fine but I'd rather have them run through sql server agent.
Has anyone run into this issue and found a work around? Is there a setting that I'm missing in sql server?
Any help would be appreciated.
You need to run the SQL Server job using a proxy account that is configured to run jobs of type SQL Server Integration Services Packages. The jobs usually run under SQL Server Agent Service account, which does not have access to network folders. To access network folders, you need to set up a proxy with a domain account credentials (preferably) so you can access network path.
Below answer in SO question has the detailed steps on how to set up a proxy account
How do I create a step in my SQL Server Agent Job which will run my SSIS package?
I have an SSIS package deployed to Sql Server 2008. This package runs fine in BIDS as well as from the server within the stored packages directory. As soon as i tie this package to a sql job i start to see permission issues accessing a specific file from within the SSIS package. So through my research i see that using a proxy account may be the solution to my problems. These are the steps i have taken so far:
Setup an Active Directory User Account
Under Security - Credentials - Created a Credential Tied to the account in step 1.
Under Sql Server Agent - Proxies - SSIS Package Execution - Created a proxy tied to the credential above and selected the "SQL Server Integration Services Package" check box.
Created a login with roles "SQLAgentOperatorRole", "SQLAgentReaderRole", "SQLAgentUserRole" and "Public" on the msdb database.
Create job to run my SSIS package. Job owner is tied to the login created in step 4. Under the step properties of my job i set the type to "Sql Server Integration Services Package" and the Run as option to my proxy account created in step 3 and pointed it to my SSIS package.
Gave Full control to the account from step 1 access to the folder/file that the SSIS package is pointing to.
When i kick the job off i continually get and error:
Executed as user: "Account from step 1" - Could not load package. Login Failed for user: "Account from step 1". The package could not be loaded.
What step could i be missing to accomplish this task?
Thank you for you time,
Billy
Figured this one out. Resolved by setting up the same AD account as a login on sql sever with the same login roles as those above in step 4.
Hope this helps someone.
Have you looked at the windows services to see the account that runs the SQL Server Agent? If that login (the one that runs the service) has sufficient rights to run a query on the database then you could just change the service login to yours (for testing purpose). Once thats done, restart the service and give it a try.
Let us know what you find.
