I am using Package Deployment Model for one of my project in SSIS.
When I am importing the package on SSISDB under Integration Service Catalogs.
It imports successfully.
Then, I want to create a Job under SQL Job Agents to Run this Package periodically. But there I am not getting any Connection managers which I have used in my package.
My SSIS package has 2 connections :
Connection to the Sharepoint Site (Which is the source of the data)
Connection to the SQL Server ( Which is the destination of the data)
If I am not getting the connection manager while creating the job, then How can I change the connection Servers from local to Production ones from here?
Am I missing something on configuration part to include Connection Managers in the Deployment Package?
Please help here.
Thank you,
Mittal.
In SSMS open the Integration Services Catalogs -> SSISDB -> CatalogName -> Projects, then right click on the project OR Find the package in the SSIS Catalog and right click on it, then select the Configure... entry in the popup menu.
You can select the package in the Scope dropdown list, then you can find the connections under the Connection Managers tab.
Also please read this thread: How to configure SSIS 2012 project to run under different environment configurations?

I install SQL Server Connector for Power Query for SQL server 2017. Create SSDT SSIS package with power query connector. It works perfect in SSDT! But when I deploy project to SSIS catalog, I get an error:
Credentials are required to connect web source.
Package:Error: The data protection operation was unsuccessful. This may have been caused by not having the user profile loaded for the current thread's user context, which may be the case when the thread is impersonating.
Moreover, when I import this package from SSIS catalog to new project, power query connection manager go away from project with error:
The connection "{EFC6889A-D312-4A9E-B251-877C7A67B8DF}" is not found.
This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
Solved!!! In SSDT I used my own login. But in SSIS catalog used SSIS proxy account that don't have access to web.
After granting access to web to SSIS proxy account it works!
If you met same error just try to run SSDT under proxy account and check web access in data source manager :)
This is my first time starting from scratch with the "new" SSIS Integration Services Catalogs introduced in SQL 2012. I've developed packages with this new model for years but never set up my own environment.
I have packages that work in Visual Studio 2019 just fine and have project connection managers that will span across all of the packages in this project. When I deploy the packages the connection managers are empty in the package configuration.
Here's my project with the connections setup.
And here's what it looks like when I deploy the packages using the Project connections
If I change the connections to "Package Connections", the connections deploy as expected.
When I do this, the connection managers is populated
What am I missing?
Notice the Scope - GetWorkerData.dtsx That's showing you what is configurable at the scope of the package. Since the connection managers at that point are Project level, you need to change the Scope to something different (I don't have a project level CM handy). Alternatively, right click on the project "Pull Data from ADP" and select configure from there. Then it will pop open that wizard with the correct scope selected.
I have an SSIS package with a OLE DB connection manager to 'SQL Server 1', as well as flat file managers that come from the D disk of the local machine.
The package basically retrieves data from the D disk of the machine I am using, and through a series of loop containers with SQL tasks, sends it to 'SQL Server 1'. This all works completely fine.
The challenge is that I would like to deploy the exact same package to 'SQL Server 2'. All files, tables, etc are exactly the same in 'SQL Server 2', as well as the files in the D disk of the local machine where 'SQL Server 2' is located. However, I don't know how to do this.
If I change the OLE DB connection manager to 'SQL Server 2', all works perfectly, as the SQL tasks automatically choose the only connection that exists. Nonetheless, the point is to somehow do this dynamically.
This means having both 'SQL Server 1' and 'SQL Server 2' as OLEDB connection managers, and deploying the same SSIS project to both servers (right now it is only deployed to 'SQL Server 1').
I have created, under Project - Properties, a new configuration that has 'SQL Server 2' selected as the Server Name for deployment. Originally, only one existed, which of course has 'SQL Server 1' as the server for deployment. I know this is not enough, but don't know what else to do.
The objective is to deploy the same package to Server1 and Server2, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
You can use expressions to change the OLEDB connection manager connectionstring property dynamically:
How can I use a Variable for a OLE DB Connection in SSIS
SSIS how to set connection string dynamically from a config file
You can add a Variable or Project parameter and pass the connection string on the package execution. For more details you can refer to one of the following articles:
Parameterizing Database Connection in SQL Server Integration Services
Parameterizing Connections and Values at Runtime Using SSIS Environment Variables
The answer is detailed in the link I found (posted at the end), and explains step by step how to do what I wanted, which was to deploy an SSIS package to different servers by making the connection string dynamic:
Setup Environment Variables in SQL Server Integration Services
It is basically to follow 5 steps (again, detailed in the link):
Create a project parameter and configuring the project's connection manager with the project parameter
Deploy the project to the SSIS catalog in SQL server
Create an environment in the SSIS catalog, along with a variable
Link the environment to the project and the variable with the parameter
Execure the package using the environment
I have a problem while trying to deploy a ssis package from a job. I have created the ssidb folder of the package, and I have not problems to execute it successfully. But when I use a job, by choosing the package from the ssisdb folder, I always get the same error message:
Failed to acquire connection "database". Connection may not be
configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this
connection.
The ProtectionLevel of the project and the package is "DontSaveSensitive", but apart of this I do not know what else can I do.
I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
Using SQL Server 2014.

It sound's like you have almost worked this out yourself :-) The connection string will most likely not be valid because, when you deployed the package, the password would not have been carried across.
Easiest option if running via SSDB:
On the deployed server right click on the package.
Click configure
Amend your connection manager accordingly.
Easiest option if running via SQL Agent Job:
Right click job and select properties
Click Steps
Edit your step.
Click on configuration tab.
click on connection managers tab.
Amend accordingly.
There are, of course, other ways - have a look up Environments.
FWIW We store all our packages with sensitive data secured by a password.
I have an SSIS package that queries a view for some records then sends off an email using Database mail. I want to deploy the package to the SQL Server that these views exist in and then schedule us using SQL Server Agent but i've run into a number of issues.
The main problem is that within the job there is a connection manager that has stored credentials for a SQL Server account that has access to the views and email profile. I've set the package to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword instead of User Key but i can't seem to find any way to actually pass that password the the SQL Server Agent when the job is run. So when it executes it fails since it can't connect.
A bunch of websites say to use the config file, but when I go that route it breaks the job entirely complaining that the OLEDB connection can't be established. In that scenario I can't even run the job on my machine locally.
A few other sites recommended copying the package to the local ssis package store on the machine, but I only have access to the machine through SQL Server Tools, I can't remote in or install anything on the file system so I have to install through the manifest file using the SSIS deployment process.
I've read something about storing settings in another DB table, but that again presents issues with permissions on the server.
Finally I tried passing /password or /decrypt in the job scheduler, but when i click ok it scheduler removes that parameter.
This is an internal server and security isnt really a big concern, Any idea how i can pass the decryption password in plaintext or just tell SSIS to not bother securing sensitive data?
The trick is:
When saving the package in SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio, ensure the Package Properties > ProtectionLevel is set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey.
When you import the SSIS package into the SQL Server (from SQL Mgmt Studio > object explorer > [server] Integration Services > Stored Packages > MSDB > right-click > Import Package > set Package location to File System, Select the file in Package path, and select the option "Rely on server storage and roles for access control". I would guess when importing the .dtsx file you have to be logged in as the same user that saved the .dtsx file.
This means that the password is saved with the package and therefore can be used when anyone executes the package. If it's something you don't want anyone to execute you then lock down security appropriately.
Alternatively you could change the Connection so it uses Integrated Security (windows authentication instead of a sql login) and change the Job so it executes the package as a user that has access to the database & view that's queried by the package. This is the preferred option from the view that you don't need passwords anywhere and instead manage it via user identity and permissions.
It sounds like when you're using the config file that you're not setting up the config file correctly.
What is the exact error that you're receiving when running it locally? I can try to recreate the issue.
do you have the package set up in bids to store the passwords, and then save the package to ssis and tell it to encrypt the passwords? if you're not saving them locally, it could be that you've lost your passwords and then pushed the package without them.
