Hello there---
I have run into a problem that apparently others have hit, too, but I don't seem to see any definitive solutions to the problem... I have created a package in BIDS (VS2008) for SQL 2008, living on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box (64-bit OS). I have set up my connections to an Oracle DB and my local SQL Server via Connection Managers, and testing the connections rolls successfully. My Data Flow tab is all set with the source db (Oracle) and my destination db (SQL 2008) as well as a Data Conversion step in between. But when I run the package from within the BIDS (F5), the package does not pass validation. I am getting the following messages...
[Connection manager "OTAP.rmarkarian"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDB_NOPROVIDER_64BIT_ERROR. The requested OLE DB provider MSDAORA.1 is not registered -- perhaps no 64-bit provider is available. Error code: 0x00000000.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".
I have looked at the following thread in this forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/920a0817-d9b8-4766-b0bf-baa6430acf93), but the reply marked as the solution does not fit my situation (I am not using SNAC provider). I double-checked the Oracle site to see if the Visual Studio developer tools (where the OLEDB providers for Oracle within VS are downloaded) are provided to see if there is a different download specific for 64-bit, bit there is only one version (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-101290.html)
Any help with this issue would be great!
Thanks!
