Fellow SQLers,
The problem I am about to described just started happening about 3 days ago - no changes to the VM.
This uat sever is a VM.
it houses SSIS 2016 and SSDT 2015 with VS 2015 Update 3.
Our SSIS package connects to an Excel 2013 xlsx file (on that VM) with the 2007-2013 properties in the connection manager. When you click the drop down to pick the sheet, it can hang from 30 seconds to minutes. this VM was not internet unabled and it always had worked.
We noticed that by turning on the proxy to the internet. All of the problems went away. We also uncovered in the logs that when we were in SSDT 2015, we could see the operation was trying to get to the below - with the proxy on it was fine. Of course with the proxy off, it failed.
TCP_MISS/200 5769 CONNECT dc.services.visualstudio.com:443 - DIRECT/40.114.241.141 -
TCP_MISS/503 0 CONNECT sqm.telemetry.microsoft.com:443 - DIRECT/65.55.252.93 -
Is there a way to turn these transfers off?
Thanks
MG
