I have a SSIS package that was copied from somewhere else and I had delete most of the connection string it has and only kept 3 of them. I checked all the steps and made sure none of the step is using a connection string other than the 3 that I have. But When I run the package it will throw me some errors saying:
Error
The connection "{96C72D18-B8B3-4FCB-96A0-4B5CC0461C10}" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
It doesn't matter when I run the package in BIDS but it will fail my job when I run it using SQL Agent Job. What can I do to find out this connection string and delete it? I have checked everywhere.
The connection manager must be referenced somewhere or it wouldn't be throwing that error. In my experience this should result in a red X being shown somewhere in the solution either during the design or when you try to execute it. A commonly missed place is in event handler tasks since they don't jump into view when you run the solution.
If you know which package is causing the error you can right click the package in the solution explorer and select "View code". Then do a text search for the offending GUID. DTSX files are just XML. I wouldn't recommend manually deleting the text but you should be able to identify which element is referencing the deleted connection manager.
Can you go to the Job step properties data sources tab and uncheck the offending connection?

I'm maintaining a project using Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (SP1) (according to this script) which heavily depends on recurring jobs (mirroring certain external db's and so on).
Especially the mirroring jobs are essentially based on SSIS packages which define a datasource, then execute a hardcoded SQL query and afterwards store the results in the specified destination.
Unfortunately the source databases where moved to a different domain and thus aren't accessible via the previous url.
My issue right now is that I simply have to change the source destination url but I'm not able to do that. There are plenty of ways to 'modify' SSIS packages but none of them seem to work with me.
What I managed (and seems the most promising) to do is to open the 'Integration Services...' part of my db, export the jobs to my desktop, modify them with Notepad and reimport them. And they seem to work if I execute them separately. But as soon as I try to execute the packages via SQL Server Agent it fails screaming:
Description: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state."
Does somebody know whats going on here and how I'm able to solve this? No password or username changed, only the connection string.
Is it even possible to manage a package like that?
Thank you for your help!
After further investigation I detected that even a newly created job didn't run properly. It was kind of strange that a package would run without any issues while directly executed but not via the SQL Server Agent, so I assumed it may be a rights issue and it was!
Somehow the Server Agent wasn't allowed to decrypt (although I never changed the executing user of a step) the password anymore.
I was able to work around my issue by simply creating each SSIS package again (some click hell but ok) but this time I secured 'sensitive data' with a password instead of the users key.
Afterwards I had to change each job step with a reference to to the damaged ssis packages and obviously type in the new passwords.
Seems to work again.
Thanks anyway
When adding any kind of data flow task or attempting to edit one on the design surface, I get the error
"The task with the name ... and the creation name "SSIS.Pipeline.6" is not registered for use on this computer. Contact Information: Data Flow Task"
Additionally, an error similar to the following is displayed for all properties of the data flow task:
"Could not get value for property '{1A11EC69-3AC7-475A-9E7A-B452B6BA6301}'. Specified cast is not valid."
I have looked in the GAC and there is no component with this CLSID, nor do I see it in the .dtproj file
Oddly enough, the package will run from the designer, but pops up an error message on every data flow task that says:
"This task does not have a custom editor. Use the Poperties window to edit properties of this task".
As long as I keep clicking it, it will continue through. Makes me think the issue is with SSDT or Integration Services, but I have uninstalled and reinstalled both. The issue with editing or viewing properties for a data flow task, however, persists :(
I have VS2015 on the same system, and it appears unaffected. Any idea how to correct this without a full wipe of VS2017?
According to this Link, do the following steps to solve this:
open sql server configuration manager
choose sql server services
right click sql server integration services, choose properties
choose log on tab, select this account, enter your username and password which is used to log on your computer.
reopen the visual studio. There you are, the task component can work properly again.
If you are using a custom SSIS component then follow this Link
I have an SSIS solution that inserts content of .csv files into my database. The happy path scenario works great. However, some of the database fields are required. If I, for example, let my solution load an empty .csv file with not nullable fields in the database, the solution will fail, ofcourse. I have used the SSIS failure flow to put these files into a seperate folder. This works fine. When the package finishes, the package finishes and says it completed with errors. This translates to a failed job in the SQL Server agent. The job however did exactly what I wanted: process the valid files and archive the invalid files.
My question is, is there any way I can tell SSIS it's done the right thing and it shouldn't return an error on finish?
Thanks in advance. I hope someone can help me.
From Agent Job you can try, In the Job Step Properties dialog box, select the Advanced page
OR
You can ignore the failure from the OnError property of the task:
You can also go to the task that is causing the package to fail, and change its FailPackageOnFailure property to "False".
I have made a copy of a server that hosts SQL Server with SSAS for test purposes. I have changed the name of the server so that it does not conflict with the original. It runs on the same network as the original. It processes a series of SSIS jobs that end with a SSAS step to create a cube. To get the SSIS jobs to run correctly, I have renamed the connection strings for all of the jobs so they reference the new name of the test server. However, when I change the server name in the connection manager string, it throws an error in BIDS. It seems to be trying to access the original server despite changing the connection reference. See the screen shot for details of the error. Has anyone run into this? I could reconstruct the step or open the dtsx file ion a text editor, but I wanted to make my changes as simple as possible. Has anyone run into this and what was your fix?

Thanks for the reply, I do not have access to the project file for the cube. What I did find is that the problem wasn't the job but the Analysis Services after the clone. I changed the setting for LinkToOtherInstance to 1. I would have preferred not to change the setting becasue now the servers are no longer exactly the same, but it appears to work. The link below was helpful.

I have a SSIS package which look for 8 files in a pre-defined location. Using script task I am checking if any files are missing? If any files are missing then I send an email stating files are missing. Now I want to stop the current package if any files are missing after sending email task.
From the Microsoft link:
RunningPackage.Stop Method
I can see I can stop the ssis package by stopping the ssis service (from the SQL Server which is running SSIS Service) what I do not want to do as I am not sure if it will start the ssis service automatically again. Also I do not have permission to see and run the packages in the ssis server and test this way.
I am not sure about how to stop using DTEXEC tool either. I would appreciate any kind of help.
Just fail the container by adding code "dts.TaskResult=ScriptResults.Failure".
After that, you can add an "Failure" container (just add a container and change the green arrow to a red one" to send out the email.
Once you do this, you must force a "fail" on the email container and go to the container's properties (you can just right-click and choose "Properties"). Look for "FailPackageOnFailure" and change that to "True". Hope this helps.
