Hello! I have an SSIS package that basically collects Excel files from an FTP server, deposits them to a file share on a SQL server and then processes each Excel file into a SQL 2005 database using the ForEach enumerator.
The package runs flawlessly when executed directly on the SQL server. The problem starts when I set this package to run via the SQL Agent. I have looked through these forums and other places and have done what this article suggested http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760; changing my package protection to
"Dont Save Sensitive" and setup the package to store its configuration in a SQL table. Despite all this I still continue to get this error when the package is run via the Agent:
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ExcelSourceFile" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
The Excel files are not password protected, no funky settings, nothing complicated, its just a plain Excel file with a few rows of data on one worksheet. The package transfers the files from the FTP server to the share on the SQL server with no problem, I can see that the files exist on the share, so it isnt a case of the Excel connection manager not finding any files to process.
The Agent account is running under administrator privileges and has full access to the share, so it shouldnt be a permissions issue either.
I have no idea what else to check, any ideas?
Thanks!
