Hi,
I'm having a problem with saving a password in a SSIS package that is accessing an Oracle database as an external data source. I experienced the problem that many people have had with the SSIS package not saving the Oracle password as expected. I successfully saved the Oracle datasource password (Password #1) using the "Encrypt sensitive with password" security setting and then setting a separate/new password (Password #2) for the SSIS package. I've imported this package into my Integration Services installation, and I can get it to run successfully by manually entering Password #2 when I open the package.
Now I want to pull the SSIS package into a SQL Job Agent, along with some other steps, to run on an automatic schedule. My question -- how/where do I embed Password #2 (the one for the SSIS package) in the settings for the SQL Job Agent step that I use to run the SSIS package? The SQL Job Agent step settings box prompts me for Password #2 before it will let me edit settings for the package, but it doesn't save that password. So when I actually run the whole job, the SSIS package always fails.
Thanks much,
Bill J.
