SSIS package gives error after deployment SQL Server 2012 - sql-server

Question

I created a package in Visual Studio 2015. It works fine.
Basically I am using a script task that generates Excel spreadsheet and sends it to different users.
After I deploy the package to SQL Server 2012 and then try to execute it from there - I get an error without any further details.
I also run select * from internal.packages from SSISDB to make sure package_format_version is 6, which is what should be for SQL Server 2012.
What could be the problem?

Answer 1

This necessarily isn't an answer on how to fix the issue, but it's an answer on how you can modify your script task to get a better error message then "Script Task Failure: Exception has been thrown..."
We'll always wrap our script tasks in a try-catch and then raise the exception message back out of the script task:
public void Main()
{
try
{
//Your code here
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Dts.Events.FireError(-1, "", ex.Message, String.Empty, 0);
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Failure;
}
}
It's always a challenge, especially with a deployed SSIS package, when it errors on a scrip task you don't necessarily get a clear indication as to why it's failing and you get a cryptic error message. The above code will capture what threw the exception and bubble back out to integration services what that was.

You may want to make sure that the "Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable" driver is installed on the SSIS server. You can get it here.
