I am trying to create a simple SSIS package that can be deployed to a VM on another domain (same computer) that has SSIS on it. The package that I have created will transfer data if I simply run the data flow from SSDT on the source computer, but when I try to deploy and execute it, it appears to have 2 errors. The first being that it cannot open the datafile "C:\SSIS\Product Data.txt". The second being that the Flat Files Source 1 failed the pre-execute phase. I think that the second error is caused from the first. Does anyone know how to create a package that can transfer data to another computer without the flat file source?
Thanks in advance!
C:\SSIS.... will refer to the local C drive of the computer that is executing the package. So if you have it on the VM it would be at the \VM\C$. Typically it means 1 of 2 things.
1) The file path is not correct and you are not referencing where the file actually is.
2) the user you are executing the package as does not have permission to that file.
So where is the file is it on the C drive of the machine you are executing the SSIS package on? The answer to that wasn't clear in your question.
Second how is the file being executed? manual execution such as DTS_Exec? SQL Agent? T-SQL? If manual then the user logged in executing the task must have permission, if SQL Agent then the sql agent service account and possible the sql server service account have to have permission to the file, and T-sql sql server service account needs to have permission.
When it is local file path then a local user or domain user will work for the service accounts. If network path then the local user used for service account won't work and you will need to setup a way to run as a different credential.

I have created a SSIS Execute Task package to export CSV and write into d:/ drive
It works when i execute from SSIS.However when i run from SQLServer agent, the job shows sucess but the export file is not available in the location
Can anyone please advise if anything i am missing.
Thank you
I think that the issue is that the SQL agent doesn't have access to the file system location. Make sure that SQL service account has needed permissions:
Configure File System Permissions for Database Engine Access
I am using SSIS to export a CSV file to a folder location that needs credentials for access so we can SFTP it to a client.
What permissions do I need to set? I don't see any way to set username and passwords in the Flat File Destination.
Currently I get a error when trying to export the file:
Warning: 0x80070005 at Data Flow Task, Flat File Destination [2]: Access is denied.
Error: 0xC020200E at Data Flow Task, Flat File Destination [2]: Cannot open the datafile "\\SERVER\FOLDER\Dropoff\ELIGIBILITY.CSV".
Error: 0xC004701A at Data Flow Task, SSIS.Pipeline: Flat File Destination failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
I thought I had generated a file in a folder with permissions before but I don't do a lot with SSIS and don't remember what I did.
SSIS simply executes as the user running the package. So if you are running from your dev machine it is your Windows credentials which will need access.
If you are running from a SQL Agent Job then the SQL Agent Service Account user will need permissions (or use a proxy)
Just in case this helps anyone, I was also getting this error and could not figure out why it would execute when running the package directly (in my case through VS) but not from SQL Server Agent. All the permissions seemed correct. I finally tried deleting the existing file (I had it set up to overwrite the data in the existing file in that directory) and re-ran the job and it worked. After that, it has worked fine. So there seems to have been some permission issue (maybe?) or conflict with the file I originally created through VS and the file created through the SQL Server Agent job.
A service running under domain account starts 20 ssis packages one by one to read 20 textfiles on a share. One of the packages (always the "same" filename) fails sporadically: one or more successfull reads, then one or more failed reads, then one or more successful reads and so on.
This behavior used to happen for file A.csv but not anymore and the file B.csv is the current victim. When the job fails I run succsessfully all the unfinished packages manually using the same domain account as the service uses.
"
Error during execution of package ...
Connection B failed validation.
The file name \share\folder\B.csv specified in the connection was not valid.
The file name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters.
"
Internet search provides comments like privileges ons the share, folders on the path and the file it self. But I think that is not the problem because the domain account does have these privileges and the reads (through the service) are sometimes succsessfull.
Any help will be well received

Try using path for shared folder with IP for example \\10.150.0.1\sharedFolder\B.csv
or without IP as \\server\sharedFolder\B.csv
If it's fail-pass then check whether that file is used by any other process\user, since it's on share so there are chances.
One of the workarounds is to have the network path mapped to a drive on the host server of the package.
You have make UNC paths to work on the calling machine, the server or the destination machine.
It could be a permissions issue.
Check permission on shared folder for -
Your personal Windows login account
Windows account which is owner of the SSIS Service
We use to have a sporadic copy file to shared drive failure. Everything would be executing fine for about a few weeks or a month or so and then failed task with error on "Network path" or "login failure".
We found that the job was taking too long with one of the tasks and some how it was giving errors.
We had to modify the packages to improve performance to fix the problem.
Check your SQL Agent Job history to see if the tasks were taking a long time when the failure occurred.
Is there anyway to improve on the package performance or separate the package into multiple packages to run in SQL Agent one package after another
Hope the information helps.
I have question regarding SSIS. I have csv source files dumped at server xyz, and I have developed package. Now I want to deploy it to SQL Server box (server pqr) to run via job scheduler.
My question is are those files need to be present on the SQL Server box? Or account which runs job scheduler should be given access to location of file path mentioned in conn. manager of pkg?
I am newbee to ssis..
Thanks Regards,
Chaitanya
Account that the Job Scheduler is running from should have appropriate access to folder (local or network) with csv files. Path to CSV files should be successfully resolved from the Job Scheduler location: C:\temp\test.csv or \\servername\sharename\test.csv.
If you've tried and job failed, please provide the error message.
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 :)
