Good morning, oh esteemed SSIS Superiors!
In another thread, I detailed a need to use TransactionOption to make use of Sequence Containers.
I learned that, in order to use that setting, I must have MSDTC enabled on my local box and the server.
If this service is not running, then an error, "Failed to acquire connection 'Connection'. Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection," occurs when I haveTransactionOption set to "Required."
I was easily able to set MSDTC on my local box, but management has decided NOT to enable MSDTC on the server, blocking my use of Sequence Containers.
These seem to be useful tools, but I don't have the experience with the package to be able to advocate enabling MSDTC sufficiently. Seems that the ability to roll back events in a failed sequence wasn't enough - though, it seems to be a pretty darn good argument to this novice.
So, my question for the group is, what other arguments might I use to gently nudge management into turning on MSDTC without their being aware of being nudged?
