In SSMS, we can connect to another SQL server by providing its IP and password (if needed). But, in BIDS it does not work that way. It is not so easy.
WHY ??? How to understand how SSIS connects to remote databases and trouble shoot connection problems that occur while trying to connect ?
SSIS is such a torture. Documentation is trash and error messages generally make no sense.
Here is an example - Error Cannot connect to server - code F$TR$FVV.
okay.....so whats that supposed to mean ? is the server offline/not exists ? password wrong ? Keep guessing what SSIS means.
