Connection Manager Issue in SSIS 2008 version

Hello Team,
I'm facing weird issue in SSIS 2008 version. In one SSIS package, whenever I open the connection manager and point the DEV server abd test the connection it is working. When I open again, it is throwing the below error eventhough I have access to the database.
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login failed for user"
It's with Windows Authentication.
Additional Details:
Package configuration is disabled.
Connection manager has expression which is gettiing the details from variables that has DEV server details.

Are the variables having static values? or is the values getting passed through a parameter?

  • Set SSIS variable = database connection manager name

    Is it possible to set a SSIS string to only the name of a database connection manager or even the connection string it uses ? I don't see an option for that in Evaluate as expression property of ssis variable.
    This is what I mean - 
    SSIS Connection manager name = SQL_DBASE
    SSIS String str_managerName = SSIS Connection manager name: Can you do this dynamically in SSIS ?

    I'm guessing what they really want to do is evaluate some indicator (some input from a user or an infrastructure setting) and then dynamically connect to any one of 10 (arbitrary example) database servers based on what they get as input.  They
    don't care about the connection manager per se.  What seems reasonable is the that the Connection Manager might take a server variable but if they wanted to do things like that they would have bought Datastage.
    You might try attacking this problem at the Control Level and then connect to the database you want based on a variable you set.   I'm seeing that a Sequence Container can branch on the contents of a variable. 
    Or if the dba is your friend you might get the dba to add all your servers as linked servers to a central connection machine and then you might be able to do this by putting the ssis variable in a "Sql Command from a Variable" variable. 
    It might look something like this:
    Server is designated in ssis var @[User::Machine]
    then executing from a variable
    "select top 100 * from " + @[User::Machine] + ".mydb.dbo.mytable"
    Be careful as hades about levels of indirection and what quotes you want at what level.  Evaluate Expression in ssis helps with this.  The syntax I show works only with an ms sql connection server to a remote ms sql server.  This is what a
    dynamic connection to a linked server connection to Oracle would look like:
    "select * from
    openquery("+ @[User::Machine] + ",'select * from oradb.oratable where rownum < 100')"
    When ever a thousand of your best friends are helping you connect to your database (using tools like linked servers as opposed to direct connections) it's probably best to use with only small specific updates or queries, large queries or large
    updates would probably take a long time and or might not finish.  But try it before you give up.   We are actually doing fairly large Oracle queries (5-10 million rows) through ms sql linked server.

  • CAn you use excel connection manager to connect to a folder that is protected with a username and password?

    I have folder on my server that my ssis package needs to get into. I have an excel file that I am connecting to using Excel Connection Manager. My ssis package is unable to connect to the folder. How do I get this to work. Thank you

    Hi RythmMusic,
    I am not sure how the folder is protected with username and password, Are you talking about folder is at restricted access and rest it ask you to punch window credential. In that case you need to run the ssis package with account which have access to that
    folder or use a proxy account to run under.
    If it protected from third party software then it need to decrypted by that third party software only. SSIS won;t be able to help here.

  • Issues using HTTP Connection Manager to run SSRS reports from SSIS

    In my package, I have a HTTP Connection Manager called "ReportServer". And I have two variables called "ReportURL" and "ReportFile". "ReportURL" is the URL for the report. I won't get into the details of this
    URL because I don't think this is the issue. "ReportFile" is the complete path and name of the output file I want to generate from "ReportURL".
    With these things in place, I have a script component that that looks like this.
    Public Sub Main()
    'Connect to http conn mgr
    Dim httpConn As ConnectionManager = Dts.Connections("ReportServer")
    Dim clientConn As HttpClientConnection = New HttpClientConnection(httpConn.AcquireConnection(Nothing))
    'file name with path
    Dim ReportFile As String = Dts.Variables("ReportFile").Value.ToString
    'report url
    Dim ReportURL As String = Dts.Variables("ReportURL").Value.ToString
    clientConn.ServerURL = ReportURL
    'Download PDFReport
    clientConn.DownloadFile(ReportFile, True)
    Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
    End Sub
    I don't know too much about the inner workings of the above script. It's from a template I copied from somewhere and it's been working fine.
    But, today all of a sudden, it started a mysterious behavior. Let me see if I can describe it to see if this sounds familiar to anyone.
    For some reason, a run of this package failed at time T1, running with a certain value of "ReportURL" and "ReportFile". Now everytime I try to fun the package with the same "ReportURL" and "ReportFile", it fails because
    it tries to write out two files with the same name, "ReportFile", one from the current one and another from the failed one at time T1. It looks like somehow, the connection is still open from the failed one in time T1 and it won't go away.... does
    this sound like anything? Can you understand the problem I am describing?

    May it be that this post is NOT SSIS related?

  • Dynamically set Analysis Services Connection Manager in a Fooreach loop [SSIS 2008]

    I am storing connection strings for "Analysis Services Connection Manager" in a database table and on run time i am fetching them all, storing in an object and iterating through them inside a Foreach loop. Variable gets updated with a new connection
    string in each iteration but somehow my "Analysis Services Processing Task" fails with "Invalid Connection String" Error.
    Is there any way we can set set Analysis Services Connection Manager Dynamically. I can done this with OLEDB connections and that works. But somehow it's not working for Analysis Services Connection manager. Can anyone please share his/her experience ?

  • Excel Connection Manager suddenly can no longer connect to Excel from SSIS package

    <p>During the last 3 months, I used 32 bit SSIS 2008 (v 10.50.2500.0) on an WinXp machine (v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) to create a package that writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. Each report is written to a different
    tabbed sheet in the same spreadsheet. </p><p>The package was&nbsp;working just fine until May 9 2013, when suddenly every single&nbsp;Data Flow task with an Excel Destination&nbsp;displayed error icons and raised the&nbsp;following
    error message when opening the Advanced Editor:</p><p>SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". <br />Error at &lt;DataFlow task name&gt;: SSIS

    ACE OLE DB 12.0 connection to load the Excel speadsheets and this package continues to work fine on the same workstation.</p><p>In desparation, wondering if the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver had become corrupt (even though the second package
    was raising no errors), I did download and install the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver.&nbsp; That did not solve my problems with the first package.</p><p>I need to get this package running again ASAP as it is targeted for UAT testing in a
    matter of days. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!</p>

    I submitted this issue above and now I am having the same problem again. I am using the same local computer, the same operating system (WinXp v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) as originally described. I am working with the same SSIS package that
    writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. This package has been successfully executed multiple times, but now I am suddenly getting the same error as follows:
    Error at 1ConversionContacts [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
    An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "Unspecified error".
    Error at DFlow Write soft deleted duplicate claims to Excel sheet [Excel Destination - write duplicate claim nbrs that have been removed to Excel [61]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.  The AcquireConnection method
    call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
    The package will not run because of these multiple errors (multiple because it occurs on every single excel destination in the package).
    I have Run64BitRuntime set to false on the project. I have triple checked that the excel file name (which I created and can access) exists with the correct name in the correct path, which is local on my machine. The file is the same file in the same
    location as when the package worked.  I am running the SSIS service under my own network login, as I was when the package worked. I have been consistently getting this same error whenever I change my network password without updating the password
    in the SSIS service, but I have triple verified that the service is using my latest password. If I try to open and edit the Excel Destination in any DataFlow task I get the same error. I can successfully create a new Excel Connection Manager pointing
    to the same excel file. However if I try to assign the newly created Excel Connection Manager in the data flow, I cannot activate the drop down to choose the Excel sheet without getting an 'Unspecified error' message. I then swapped out
    the file with its template version, and ensured the name was updated as correct. I still get the same errors.
    Oh, and the SSIS package is extracting data from a SQL Server 2008 database with an ADO.net Connection Manager using Windows authentication. I have no problems with the SQL Server connection, it has always worked and still does.  It is only
    the connection to excel output file which is locally stored on my machine.
    Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

  • SSIS 2012: SSIS Error Code "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

    Hi,
    This is kind of weird issue that I am experiencing with excel connection manager in SSIS 2012. This issue occurs sometimes but when I close and re-open SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools - newer BIDS) then this issues goes off temporarily.
    Just FYI, through SSDT environment I executed the package successfully with both settings Run64bit runtime setting to Yes and No when error does not occur.
    So far I have installed
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 (Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable).
    I still remember for older versions of SQL Server (2005 & 2008) that I have executed Excel connection SSIS packages with Run64bit runtime = false i.e. in 32-bit mode. As far as I know I think Excel 64-bit issue has been resolved with SQL Server
    2012 release.
    Here is the detail of error message:

    Also it occurred to me that since Virtual Desktops are on Shared Infrastructure, the source files and SSIS packages (code) can be on Shared drives for e.g. \\<Corpnet>\userdata\<Corp_Users_Grp>\<Username>\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Integration

    Does this kind of Shared drives have any impact to give this issue?

    Hi Arthur,
    Thanks for your response.
    Yes, it looks like SSIS still has bunch of issues with Excel files like as follows:
    1) Some times excel source files cannot be parsed by excel source connection manager.
    2) For derive column conversion, we can't replace the existing column. rather, we have to add the derived column as " add as new column" which is tough to manage  while destination mapping.
    3) If an column in excel contains a data which is not of the data type assigned for the column in excel, the excel source reads that data as "null". For the same, we can't validate the data and redirect the erroneous data in reject file.  <-- For
    this we tried IMEX setting also
    4) In multi-tab/sheet excel file, excel source is unable to detect a tab and identify the metadata of the excel.
    I am also checking Microsoft connect for Excel issues with SSIS 2012(https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/SearchResults.aspx?SearchQuery=excel#&&PageIndex=22
    As worst case scenario, I am thinking of converting Excel to CSV file or Flat text file. (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2772/importing-data-from-excel-using-ssis--part-2/).
    Do you think it is advisable to convert Excel into CSV or Flat file.

    Check you TWS jobmanrc.cmd configuration file.   You may need to add a PATH environment variable in that file that includes your SQL Server file locations.   When TWS jobs are executed, they may not be executing with the same
    PATH variable as when you execute the SSIS outside of TWS.

    Before i m use ssis 2008 then its work well bt after install 2012 its start this problem. I m also change debug 64 bit in false from true.
    Thanks for help

    Hi is there any way to install 32 ACE OLE DB in 64 bit system without uninstall my other software .
    I tried yesterday to instal 32 bit ACE but its told me u need to uninstall 64 bit software first :(
    thanks
    When using the command line, you can force the installation of the 32-bit version while the 64-bit version has already been installed.

  • 64-Bit DSNs are not displaying in SSIS connection manager

    Hi Team,
    I came across an issue while working with 64-Bit SQL Server 2012 version. We installed 64-Bit SQL Server 2012 version on a 64-Bit Windows Server 2012 machine. I created two 'System DSNs' under 64-Bit ODBC driver those are for 'IBM iSeries access ODBC driver'
    and 'SQL Server Native client 11.0'.
    I was using ADO.Net source to use these DSNs in an SSIS package in BIDS. But these System DSNs are not displaying from the data source drop down list in the connection manager.
    Can somebody help me out how i can use 64-Bit System DSN while executing the packages?
    Thanks,
    Venu.

    Visual Studio is a 32 bit software so you wouldnt be able to see and use 64 bit DSN, if you want to see them you would have to install the corresponding 32 bit drivers, else complete your development on a diff box and then bring your packages to the 64 bit
    machine,
    That said the SSIS runitme can still utlize both the 64 bit an 32 bit run time by the means of how its executued i.e. dtexec from the progamm files or programmfiles(x86) folder

  • SSIS Connection Manager: MSOLAP100 where is the one for SSAS 2012 ?

    I have an SSIS project under SSDT, that should process a SSAS 2012 Cube, when I setup the connection, the SSIS Connection Manager gives me only MSOLAP100 as a possible connection manager type. From my understanding this is the one for SQL 2008 R2. Where
    is the one for SSAS 2012 and how can I enable it ?
    I feel this is a bug in SSDT:
    I used another UI dialog and could create a new connection like this:
    Still it says ConnectionManagerType MSOLAP100, however in the connection string I now have Provider=MSOLAP.5, this seems to be another SSDT bug.

    If this issue can be reproduced in multiple machines, then you can you can submit a feedback at
    http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is released in the next release of service pack or product.

  • Step by Step Instructions of loading Excel into SSIS via OLE Data Source Microsoft.ACE instead of Excel connection manager

    Hi,
    I have a very large Excel workbook which I need to load into SSIS. Using the default Excel connection manager SSIS seems to load the entire work sheet into memory before performing any operation even after setting IMEX=1 within the connection string.
    Can anyone provide me with step by step instructions on how to use  OLE Data Source Microsoft.ACE please?
    I've found the link; -
    https://www.connectionstrings.com/ace-oledb-12-0/
    Which looks very useful.
    Since I currently have Excel 2010 as my data source I tried; -
    Data Source=C:\PoC\POC_Data_Source\my.xlsx;Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES ;IMEX=1";
    The connection test successfully. However SSIS still seems to be loading the entire work sheet into memory before starting the data load.

    Thanks again Koen,
    I am developing remotely on a development server. So when I run SSDT I am running it within the development server box. My current technology / environment mix means I can't run SSDT from my local desktop.
    I am pretty sure that scanning of the rows is an issue causing performance, e.g. if I just click on the data source component SSDT freezes for several minutes, unless I just have a cut down version of the Excel file, say first 5,000 rows, then the response
    of SSDT is acceptable.
    Also when I have SSDT pointing to the full spreadsheet and I click around in the associated Data Flow I notice devenv.exe* 32 slowing grabbing 4gb of RAM and releasing it according to Windows Task Manager. 
    Kind Regards,

    Hi Vinay,
    As Visakh mentioned, the issue usually occurs because the package runs in 64-bit runtime, however, the Excel driver is 32-bit. According to your another thread, it seems that you use SSIS 2005, right? In SSIS 2005, there is no “use 32 bit runtime” option
    for the package executions of a SSIS package job step. In this condition, you have two choices:
    Install the 64-bit Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 Provider on the production server. Here is the download link (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe):
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=13255 
    Create a CmdExec type job step instead of SSIS Package job step, so that we can call 32-bit DTExec.exe to execute the package within command line. For more information, please see:

  • Retain Same Connection = True - Property Set up for Connection Manager in SSIS 2012- Please help!

    Hi,
        I have a solution with 20 packages.  Target Database is same for all the packages, only target tables are different. All are working fine.
    Now,as part of a new requirement,I have to change some logic in one of the packages.I have to create few 'Global Temp Tables' on the fly and populate some data into it and use those tables for update and delete in both control and data flow.
       Since I am creating and using Global tables on the fly, I have to set up 'Delay Validation = True' for the package and the DFTs.
    Then, most important thing is, I have to set up 'Retain Same Connection = True' for the 'Target database' connection because only then, I assume,the package will not throw errors like 'Tables are not available'.
    My doubt is, if I change the Retain Same Connection = True, will it create any issue for the other packages, as all other packages are using the same connection manager.
    I am using SSIS 2012.
    Thanks for your help!
       

    Although 'RetainSameConnection' is a property of the Project Connection Manager, it only works within a package, but as soon as an other (child) package starts, you will loose the connection.
    Safest option is probably to use a separate package connection manager.
