I am migrating a sql2005 SSIS package to sql2008 version but I need a clarification on the connection strings.
In 2005 version, I have the following which works fine:
Data Source=SALESDB\SQL2005,5533;Initial Catalog=DAILYSALES;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;
But after migration to 2008, I created the 2008 version using SQLNCLI10.1 from connection manager(instead of SQLNCLI.1) and I got the following:
Data Source=SALESDB\SQL2008,5533;Initial Catalog=DAILYSALES;Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Application Name=Location_Data_Load-{531332AE-4C87-4077-8481-1CF896D2E576}SALESDB\SQL2008,5533.DAILYSALES;Auto Translate=False;
This looks complex to me even though it may be working in dev. Please, does any one know why package/application name, id and duplicate server name were included in the connection string? If I remove them, will there be any impact?
I tried this:
Data Source=SALESDB\SQL2008,5533;Initial Catalog=DAILYSALES;Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;
and it seems to connect (though I haven't tested the entire load package. Thanks
