I want to test dynamic connection string in SSIS. Here were the steps that I already performed.
1) Created connection string.
2) Parameterizing connection string
3) Deploy SSIS Package to SSIS Catalog via Project deployment model
4) Setup environment variable in SSIS Catalog
5) Configure SSIS project to reference environment variable
Everything look goods but failed to execute the task.

Error message
I think you should fix the issue with the steps below:
Create a Proxy account with permissions in SSISDB and the permissions needed for the db used in the package.
Create a credential in the SSIS server. The user and password are the same that the proxy account.
Use the proxy account to execute the project.
As per the screenshot, it looks like the package is failing due to login issue. Please check the login with which the package is running and it has correct access to DB Server.

Problem: I cannot get the SSIS proxy and SQL credentials configured correctly to use a restricted access domain account (Domain\UserName) for a SQL Agent job step that runs an SSIS package. The Domain\UserName account has all the required permissions and privileges and the SSIS package is also designed correctly. I have read much material on this subject and would like some help in case I missed something.
More Details: I have an SSIS package which simply reads data from one SQL Server database table and pushes that data to another database table on a different server. I have got a special identity (Domain\UserName) created to perform this operation because this needs to be run on a daily basis.
Now everything runs perfectly fine when I run visual studio with that Domain\UserName and manually run that SSIS package. But it is not running when I deploy that to SSISDB. I have created SQL Server Security Credentials with same user account and created an SSIS Package Executing Proxy using that credential and configured the SQL Agent Job step to Run as that proxy account.
But It always gives the following error when I try to execute that SQL Agent Job Step:
Message

I found the issue. I missed one step to grant permission for Domain\UserName to use the proxy.
Explanation
You need to grant permissions to logins/roles who will be using the created proxy account using sp_grant_login_to_proxy system stored procedure. You can use sp_enum_login_for_proxy system stored procedure to view all the logins/roles who have access to the proxies.
Script - Granting proxy access to security principals :
USE msdb
GO
--Grant proxy account access to security principals that could be
--either login name or fixed server role or msdb role
--Please note, Members of sysadmin server role are allowed to use any proxy
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_grant_login_to_proxy
#proxy_name=N'SSISProxyDemo'
,#login_name=N'Domain\UserName'
--,#fixed_server_role=N''
--,#msdb_role=N''
GO
--View logins provided access to proxies
EXEC dbo.sp_enum_login_for_proxy
GO
I have an SSIS package that has run for months daily with no problem. Suddenly it is failing every day with the error above. No changes to the package or the stored procs it runs have been pushed, to my knowledge, no changes to the database environment have been made including permissions for the service account that owns the job.
This is a SQL Server 2008 package that connects to a SQL server 2008 R2 database. The configuration is through the ssisconfig table and it defines which server to use through an environment variable.
The component in question is using a stored proc. In the proc, all fields are explicitly cast to the same data type of the table the data is being staged too. The proc runs fine by itself. It is a relatively complex proc that has two table variables and a CTE.
I can't run it from my local on prod and dev is not failing. If I open the prod SSIS package while I am set to the environment variable that the job owner uses, I do not get a validation error on this component. ValidateExternalMetadata is set to true for this component. For the entire package though, Delay Validation is set to True. I do get a validation error that would be expected on a task using a variable that is set dynamically in an earlier task. This error, however, is many, many steps later than the step it is currently failing on.
Usually in the past when we have had this sort of unspecific error, I have been easily able to see the problem with the data that caused the sudden failure. But none of the data in the proc result set is even close to being incorrect for the datatypes defined for staging table for that field. None of the required fields are missing data either.
I am out of ideas for what else to look at. If the environment didn't change, the actual code didn't change and the data looks correct, what is left to try?
As I have commented for details error, you can try below link from Microsoft:
Debug SSIS Package while calling from Agent
Some info from link:
Reasons that the package may have failed are as follows:
The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent differs from the original package author.
The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
The package may not run in the following scenarios:
The current user cannot decrypt secrets from the package. This scenario can occur if the current account or the execution account
differs from the original package author, and the package's
ProtectionLevel property setting does not let the current user
decrypt secrets in the package.
A SQL Server connection that uses integrated security fails because the current user does not have the required permissions.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection
manager accesses. For example, this scenario can occur with text
log providers that do not use a login and a password. This scenario
can also occur with any task that depends on the file connection
manager, such as a SSIS file system task.
A registry-based SSIS package configuration uses the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry keys. The HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry keys
are user-specific.
A task or a connection manager requires that the current user account has correct permissions.
Method 1: Use a SQL Server Agent proxy account Create a SQL Server Agent proxy account. This proxy account must use a credential that
lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that created the
package or as an account that has the required permissions.
This method works to decrypt secrets and satisfies the key
requirements by user. However, this method may have limited success
because the SSIS package user keys involve the current user and the
current computer. Therefore, if you move the package to another
computer, this method may still fail, even if the job step uses the
correct proxy account.
Method 2: Set the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to ServerStorage Change the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to
ServerStorage. This setting stores the package in a SQL Server
database and allows for access control through SQL Server database
roles.
Method 3: Set the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword Change the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel
property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword. This setting uses a password
for encryption. You can then modify the SQL Server Agent job step
command line to include this password.
Method 4: Use SSIS Package configuration files Use SSIS Package configuration files to store sensitive information, and then store
these configuration files in a secured folder. You can then change the
ProtectionLevel property to DontSaveSensitive so that the package is
not encrypted and does not try to save secrets to the package. When
you run the SSIS package, the required information is loaded from the
configuration file. Make sure that the configuration files are
adequately protected if they contain sensitive information.
Method 5: Create a package template For a long-term resolution, create a package template that uses a protection level that differs
from the default setting. This problem will not occur in future
packages.
Above link will help you through logging and other possible scenarios of failure of your package from SQL Agent. I suspect that your user of Agent has been corrupted. But that is an assumption. You first enable the logging of SSIS by following link :
Enable SSIS Package Logging
Some info from link
To set the logging level for a package by using the Execute Package
dialog box
In SQL Server Management Studio, navigate to the package in Object Explorer.
Right-click the package and select Execute.
Select the Advanced tab in the Execute Package dialog box.
Under Logging level, select the logging level. See the table below for a description of available values.
Complete any other package configurations, then click OK to run the package.
Hope this will help you in the first place. If not please let me know.
I have a SSIS 2008 package. In one of the Script task I am calling a stored procedure which is using Openquery using linked server. I deployed this package with protection level as "EncryptWithPassword" and gave a password to the package. Created a SQL job and edited its command line to include the password. If I login to SQL Server Mgmt Studio with Windows Authentication and run the job manually it runs fine. But when I schedule it then I get an error that "The Communication link to Linked server failed".
Please help
Most likely that you launch job from default Run as login.
You should create credential with your login, so package will have access and priveleges to linked database under your login.
You may read this article for better explanation.
I have an SSIS package I can import into Integration Services on my server and run with no problems. All it does is copy files from a directory on the network to the server it is running on.
When I execute the SQL Agent Job it says the job ran successfully but no files are copied. I verify there are files in the source location and the destination path exists. I am also using absolute paths (no mapped drives).
Why doesn't it copy any files when I run it as a SQL Agent Job?
FYI - the source directory is actually on a UNIX box and to map a drive to that location you have to enter a user/password combination.
I have a feeling that the SQL Agent Job runs as NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT, which is not the user that has permission to the UNIX box. Is there a way to run the SQL job as a specific user?
Thanks in advance.
You need to create a Credential, a SQL Agent Proxy, and then assign the proxy account to the SQL Agent job step. Proxy accounts are specific to each subsystem (e.g Powershell, CmdExec, SSIS, etc.)
-- creating credential
USE [master]
GO
CREATE CREDENTIAL [Superuser] WITH IDENTITY = N'DOMAIN\account', SECRET = N'mypassword'
GO
-- creating proxy for CmdExec subsystem, adding principal
USE [msdb]
GO
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_proxy #proxy_name=N'My custom proxy',#credential_name=N'Superuser',
#enabled=1
GO
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_grant_proxy_to_subsystem #proxy_name=N'My custom proxy', #subsystem_id=3
GO
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_grant_login_to_proxy #proxy_name=N'My custom proxy', #fixed_server_role=N'sysadmin'
GO
-- assigning job step to run as a given proxy user
USE [msdb]
GO
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_update_jobstep #job_id=N'0df2dac2-4754-46cd-b0bf-05ef65e1f87e', #step_id=1 , #subsystem=N'CmdExec',
#proxy_name=N'My custom proxy'

I have an SSIS package that takes data from a MySQL database and puts it in to a SQL Server table. The connection to MySQL is ADO.net. The package runs fine in BIDS.
I would like to deploy the package to be run as a Job on SQL Server 2008. The MySQL connection requires sensitive data to be either stored within the package or held in some external configuration source. If it is stored within the package it will either by encrypted with a key specific to my windows user profile or must be protected via a password.
I have tried three methods of setting up a SQL Server Agent job to execute this pacakge, and all fail:
Using a Password
I set the ProtectionLevel of the package to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword and supply a password for the package. I then save a copy of the package to the msdb. I can then connect to SSIS and run the package, at which point I am prompted for a password.
When I try to schedule this as a job in SQL Server I am prompted to enter the password by clicking on the Configurations tab of the Job Step Properties and I can see that the /DECRYPT switch has been added to the Command Line tab. The Run As property is set to the SQL Server Agent Service Account, which is mapped to a database login that has sysadmin server role. When I attempt to start this job I get the following error:
Executed as user: DOMAIN\UserROLE. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 10.0.5500.0 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved. Started: 12:31:30 Error: 2012-07-03 12:31:31.20 Code: 0xC00291EC Source: Get Data Execute SQL Task Description: Failed to acquire connection "DATA_SOURCE". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection. End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE
It seems that using this method the package password itself is not stored anywhere for the job to access it.
Using an XML configuration file
I then created a copy of the package and set the ProtectionLevel to DontSaveSensitive and I set up a package configuration to store the MySQL credentials in an XML file. I then save this to the msdb and then when I run the package from
Integration Services I can provide a path to the config file, and all is well. However, once again when I set up a job for the package I point to a configuration file on the server but the job fails with the same error. I am wondering whether this is because the SQL Server Agent does not have an associated windows account that would allow it to read from the XML file stored in the file system.
Using a SQL Server table configuration
This time I created a copy of the package and set the ProtectionLevel to ServerStorage. I then created a [SSIS Configurations] table in the target SQL Server database. I modified the entries in this table to contain the password for the MySQL data source. Again, the package runs successfully from Integration Services, but fails with the same error as previously when run from a job. I have checked that the SQL Server Agent is able to read from the [SSIS Configurations] table ok - I set up a standalone job to test this.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what else I should do here?
I am thinking of giving up on SQL Server Agent Jobs for this and going back to having the package scheduled simply by the windows scheduler but thought before throwing in the towel I would try here first.
I am using the method of encrypting the password by setting EncryptSensitiveWithPassword as you discribed above and don't see anything you do wrong. Remember to use option keep protection level of the original package when importing the package with integration services, but it looks like you're doing that, too.
Try setting the role SQLAgentOperatorRole to your SQL Server Agent Service Account, you didn't mention that and i am not sure if you did. This could possibly solve your permission problems. (liked to answer by commenting this, but i lack of permissions here, too :)
