I have a package which reads data from mariadb via Mariadb ODBC driver and insert data to SQL Server table via OLEDB connection. When I execute the package in visual studio it runs fine and data is loaded successfully, but when the package is deployed and executed in Integration Service Catalog or in a Job, it inserts blank values in a column while it doesn't have any blank value in the source. Both source and destination datatypes are varchar and I installed Mariadb ODBC driver 64-bit on the server. What is the best possible way to handle these blank values?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm facing issue with using OLEDB connection in my SSIS Packages. My SSIS package works only with ADO.Net connection, if I start using OLEDB connection it is unable to resolve the CNAME and cluster name. So I migrated my SSIS package with ADO.Net connection. But Now I realized the Package configuration which is coming from database is using OLEDB connection. The package configuration has option like SQL Server, XML, Environment Variable, etc.
I need to read my package configuration from SQL Server, but I cannot use the OLEDB connection to connect the SQL server. The User Interface in VS 2017 is not providing me the ADO.Net option to select the connection. So s there any way I can bypass OLEDB connection and use the ADO.Net connection from SSIS to read the package configuration. Please help me if any one faced this issue or came across any workaround.
You cannot use an ADO.NET (or ODBC) connection manager with the Package Deployment Model's Package Configuration. The product does not support it.
You can see in the Package Configuration Wizard, selecting the SQL Server configuration type prompts for a connection. Clicking New... launches the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager screen and New in that menu brings up the Connection Manager with a provider of Native OLE DB\SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (or whatever OLE DB compliant driver you want to fiddle with)
Given that you're reworking your packages to use ADO.NET drivers to address a cluster/CNAME issue, you might verify you have the latest and greatest version of the OLE DB Drivers for SQL Server (and apply that on the server as well).
Also, unlike my screenshot, MS advocates for using the Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server (SQLOLEDB) instead of SQL Server Native Client OLE DB (SQLNCLI)
The SQL Server Native Client OLE DB (SQLNCLI) remains deprecated and it is not recommended to use it for new development work. Instead, use the new Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server (MSOLEDBSQL) which will be updated with the most recent server features.
Given that, you might try MSOLEDBSQL and see if that fares any better.
If none of those work, and you're unable to upgrade to the Project Deployment Model and all the goodness it delivers, and I didn't have too many properties being set via the [SSIS Configuration] table...I'd evaluate building a dynamic list of values for the package to run. I am long out of the SSIS game, but running a package boils down to
dtexec.exe /file C:\MyPackage.dtsx
If I wanted to change the ServerName property for a connection manager named ".\dev2017", I could use/abuse the /SET property of dtexec to do so
dtexec.exe /file C:\MyPackage.dtsx /SET \Package.Connections[.\dev2017].Properties[ServerName];SomeOtherServer\NamedInstance
That path, \Package.Connections[.\dev2017].Properties[ServerName], ought to be what's stored in the configuration table. So, instead of a SQL Agent task running an SSIS package, run a SQL Command which will use xp_cmdshell to build out a dtexec using the values configured in your table. Ain't pretty, likely to run into issues with xp_cmdshell and double escaping values but it's about the only approach I can think of if you can't resolve the OLE DB connection issue and still get dynamic, table managed package parameters.

When in the connections window right click and choose what type of connection do you want to build
You can create multiple connections of different types, so create one to read your package config as OLEDB, then create the other connections as ADO.Net.
If your package config connection string is a ADO.Net string then you need to create a ADO.Net connection with the same name as the stored package config name
If your package config return a OLEDB connection string you wont be able to use it in a ADO.Net connection, in this case you need to update your package config table with ADO.Net connection strings
This must be simple but I can't find the documentation. I have an ODBC connection to an Intersystems Cache' database that works fine in MS Access, but I can't see how to do the same in SQL Server (15.0.18930.0).
In Access, I did this: Blank Desktop Database, Create, External Data tab, ODBC Database, Link to the data source, (Select Data Source) --> Machine Data Source --> click on ODBC data source we already created. Then it gives me a list of tables to link to, and we're done.
The data source was System DSN, with various fields and a connection string like
DRIVER={InterSystems ODBC35};SERVER=xxxx;PORT=xxx;DATABASE=xxx;UID=xxx;PWD=xxx;
How is this done with SQL Server?
Thanks!

For SQL Server, write an SSIS package that uses the ODBC driver. Note that you may need to run the package in 32bit mode if the ODBC driver is 32bit. Then use that package to load a SQL Server table, or use an SSIS Data Streaming Destination to enable the SQL Server to dynamically run and read data from the SSIS package.
I am trying to ETL data out of my ServiceNow instance and into a SQL Server DB. I am extracting data via the ServiceNow ODBC driver, and I'm using SSIS as my ETL tool. I'm running into a problem with my ODBC source in my data flow task.
In SSIS, I have created an ODBC connection to my ODBC driver DSN, and the connection tested successfully. I then added an ODBC Source to my data flow task. The source is using the given ODBC connection. When I choose Data access mode = Table Name, no table names appear. So, I then change Data access mode to SQL command, and I enter a certain SQL query (on the change_request table). When I click on the Parse Query button, SSIS / Visual Studio throws the following error:
state: '42S02'. Native Error Code: 10129. [DataDirect][ODBC OpenAccess SDK driver][OpenAccess SDK SQL Engine]Base table:change_request not found.[10129]
What is causing this to fail in Visual Studio?
For reference, I have the 64-bit version of the ODBC driver installed as a System DSN. Also, the query successfully executes in the iSQL utility that comes with the ODBC driver install. (So, the query is "right".) And, I am also able to successfully connect to tables via the ODBC driver in other tools (e.g., Qlik Sense, Power BI). So, the problem is specific to Visual Studio. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong in Visual Studio.
I also tried an ADO.NET connection (with the ODBC data provider) in an ADO NET Source, but I experience the same problem.
I think this is a 32-bit/64-bit issue since Visual Studio only runs in 32-bit mode. So you need to install the 32-bit ODBC driver and test again.
Visual Studio 64 bit?
I need to build connectivity between Influx and a SQL Server database to transfer data from Influx to SQL Server periodically.
Ideally I would like to have a stored procedure in SQL Server which connects with Influx and gets the required data. This procedure will be scheduled using a SQL Server Agent Job.
Will appreciate any answers regarding the possibilities to achieve the requirement.
Start with the SSIS Data Streaming Destination. This will enable you to have a view in SQL Server that returns the results of running a package.
An SSIS package, in turn, can connect to data sources without loading drivers in the SQL Server process, or can run custom .NET code to interop, or orchestrate running external processes that generate files, and then return the file contents.
So whatever the mechanism of data extract from influxdb turns out to be, an SSIS package using the Data Streaming Destination can be an adapter for you to read that data from inside SQL Server.
I am new to ssis.I have a task where i need to import data from table to excel and table contains nearly 500K records.My problem is when opt for excel file destination and create a connection manager and use excel 2007 then i cannot see tables under name of excel sheet.when i tried to install access database engine
i struck with error saying you cannot install 32 bit because you have installed 64 bit of Microsoft products.Please suggest
Here is a link to your access database engine driver. You can choose 32bit and 64bit. Remember to reboot.

You could also choose a flatfile destination as CSV instead, and then load that in Excel. That is easier imo.
