Configuration File For Connection Info (how Do I Set Password)
Oct 27, 2006
Hi All,
I'm new to SSIS. I'm trying to build a simple package, run it on dev and migrate it to our stg and tst environments. It works on my dev environment great! It simply loads data from a flat file into a table. The trouble i'm having is exporting the connection string info to an xml file and runnign it on other environments. I am not storing the package on the db. I am saving to a file and running through SQL Server BI Development Studio.
I go to "Configuration File" and export InitialCatalog, ServerName, User, Password to the file. I can manually change the xml to the new environment but don't know how to set the password. It's not in the xml and i am constantly getting "Login failed for 'sa'" errors. Anyone know how to do this. I CAN get this whole process to work if i use Windows authentication security but this isn't an option. I need to use the db security.
€™m just starting out with SSIS and am trying to establish architecture standards that are sound and workable. We will be developing BI solutions for customers who use our banking and finance package that runs on an IBM System i. Modularity is important as all our BI solutions will have a combination of re-used functionality along with varying degrees of unique functionality for each customer. My current area of interest is in externalizing all environmental factors and ensuring such things as passwords are protected.
I understand how configuration files work and how to use environment variables to provide a layer of indirection to them. At this stage we want to avoid encryption of packages and plan to use file system based deployment. We plan to use windows security for SQL server so I have no issue in exposing connection info here but for our DB2 connections we need to include user id and passwords. As I understand it, configuration files can not be encrypted so how do I store this externally while preserving its security. Nothing I have read so far has given me exactly what I need.
Hm... I use SSIS packages to manipulate some data from one SQL server to another. I chosed "DontSaveSensitiveData" and I am using a XML configuration file.
The problem is I have to edit the file with notepad manually and add the password for my SQLconnections in it.
Is it possible to do this from the Business Intelligence Studio instead?
I tried to edit the connections and set and save password there but it won't save it to the XML configuration file.
Or perhaps it is intended to be edited in notepad and passwords set manually to it?
I have an SSIS package that pipes data from an iSeries data source to a SQL Server table. The connection manager I am using is the .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider
When I run this SSIS package on my developer PC (from inside BIDS or using the Management Studio Execute Package Utility) it works. However when I run the package from within a SQL Server Agent Job it fails.
I have enabled logging and the error message given is: System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [28000] [IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver]Communication link failure. comm rc=8002 - CWBSY0002 - Password for user MALLPRESS on server SMICHC is not correct, Password length = 0, Prompt Mode = Never, System IP Address = 172.16.0.4 ERROR [28000] [IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver]Communication link failure. comm rc=8002 - CWBSY0002 - Password for user MALLPRESS on server SMICHC is not correct, Password length = 0, Prompt Mode = Never, System IP Address = 172.16.0.4 It gives the message €śPassword length = 0€? despite the fact that I have specified a password in the package.
To try to get around this I have added an XML configuration file to the SSIS package. In this configuration file I€™ve set values for the ConnectionString, UserName, and Password. I still get the above error about a password length of 0.
I have also tried to execute the package using dtexec, but this gives a similar error. The SQL used to run this is: xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /sq "SCSRV-06DTS PackagesStagingStagingBranchImport"'
This has got me stumped, and I€™m not sure where to go from here as these packages need to be programmatically run each morning. At the moment I am manually running them from within BIDS. All packages that don€™t use an iSeries connection manager run successfully in SQL Agent jobs. I have also tried using the OLEDB connection manager (ibm db2 udb for iseries ibmda400 ole db provider) without success.
Hello, I am new to SSIS. Could someone please tell me how to make the Connection Manager use the connection string from the configuration file? I am trying to have connection information set in one place for all the packages to use. I have already created a .dtsConfig file based on my existing Connection Managers. Do I need seperate dtsConfig files for each database?
Ok, I understand it is possible, but I still can't quite get the mechanics of it to work.
I create a new BIDS project, and add a package to it, and add 3 connection managers, and set the server, instance, DB, etc. for SQL connections. I change the name of each connection manager so the server name is not there, but use something more like a generic name of what the database is. Fine. I right click in the Control Flow area and go to configurations. I enable configurations, and save to a common place on the C drive. Save everything, exit, VS, fine, and I export all connection managers properties.
Then I start Visual Studio again. Create another new BIDS project, add a package to it, and add 3 connection managers. I don't actually connect them, but use those same generic names from the first iteration. I enable configurations for the package. I am somewhat expecting to see the connections change from the same-o-default to the data I used in the first go around.
The scenario is an ETL that takes flat file feeds via FTP to move data into varous production SQL server databases nightly.
There are a number of packages involved, and this depends upon the type of data being sent.
There are a set number of servers and databases to receive the transformed data. I would like to be able to define say 3 servers, and maybe a couple of databases in each one time in the configuration. For simplicity lets say 6 databases total. I would like a single point of maintenance for these 6 locations. I would like all connection managers in all packages in all solutions to share these 6 settings in all connection managers. Is this possible? From my initial attempts, it would appear each package gets its own independent list of connection managers and which must be configured separately. I don't see how to share settings, which is really where the power of SSIS configurations would be.
Similarly, I would like to be able to locate flat files at given paths. The package may know the name of the file it is looking for, or the file it will create, and the folder path needs to be computed from a configured folder root, and for the package connection manager to store only the name of the file, which never changes.
I can not see how to set something like this up with connection managers and configurations. Perhaps I still need a highly customized solution to achieve this, as we did for DTS, where we would only execute packages using our own executor, which would load the package, search out all environment specific settings and modify them on the fly prior to executing the package.
Thanks for any direction you can give here. The books I've read seem to imply I might be able to do what I need here, but I can't seem to find the mechanics of making it happen.
I have been selecting the option to protect sensitive info in my packages with a password. However, this poses problems when later execute the packages by using the Execute Package Task. The problem is that I am repeated required to input the password before the packages will execute.
I was making this selection in the hope of not tying execution to a partiular user's credentials (my boss may also want to execute these pacakages at some point).
I find this subject confusing. Once I have selected this option, how can I change to another method? Additionally, does anyone have any advice vis a vis best practices in this matter? I want to store connection passwords, etc. in the package so they don't have to be supplied each time but I also want the information to be secure.
It is pretty easy to create the package configuration to the shared, never-changing path to XML file. But to get this to work, I have to add a bunch of package variables which are driven from the configuration. I then use expressions to compute actual paths to source files and packages.
This business of copying a block of variables from one package to another is extremely tedious, and at least to me, something of a maintenance issue. I have found if I get ahead of myself and forget to create the variables first, then Visual Studio is NOT very forgiving, and will complain repeatedly just prior to crashing without the offer to save anything. If I add a new variable, it is like an easter egg hunt. This does NOT feel very single point of maintenance when variables must be used in this way to really effectively apply configuration, and it is so tedious and error prone, and unforgiving. I seem to spend a great percentage of time copying the names and datatypes and values of variables ONE AT A TIME. What is that all about?
I hear people telling the praises of configurations, but I must be missing something.
With DTS I used a system where global scope settings were "injected" into packages as they ran, and I never had to worry about anything, and it was damn hard to goof it.
Please someone, evangelize me!! Are people bypassing VS and using NOTEPAD on the packages or something like that to save time?
I have an DB2 source and SQL destination. I have 2 ConnectionManager. One for DB2 (IBM DB2) and other for SQL. Both are of the OleDB type.
Well. I setup my connections and it work fine. Now i want to change my ConnectionManager for others sources or destinations. And I don't want to have to change the connection in more than forty packages.
For this, i have 2 XML configuration file in package configurations. One for connection. In this XML i have the connectionstring, user and password. These files are obtained in all the packages.
Well. If i change the connectionstring in this XML file configuration, only work fine the OLEDB for SQL. The conection for DB2 return the fail: "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "_packagename_" failed with error code 0xC0202009."
I have proven to modify protectionLevel of the package to DontSaveSensitive. SQL work fine. DB2 fails. I have changed to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword. The same.
Why the packages obtain the data of connection of the configuration file for SQL and it does not work or with the configuration file for DB2.
All -- Please help. I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005. Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string. Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference. Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS... (A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean? (B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string? (C) Are there any alternatives? (D) What do you suggest?
Hi, I'm having a BIG problem, this is my 3rd day looking for answer !I'm trying to create a custom membership provider with MS SQL database 2005 but not the default ASPNETDB.

I have been trying to host my website on Go Daddy for about 3 weeks and I have cleared several problems but this one remains. I can get into the ASPNETDB database for doing logins , etc but I cant access my database called "PINEmgt". To try to understand where the problem is located,I built a very simple application without login controls and put on it one Detailform accessing a single line table "Signin". I continually get the error message I got with my real app :"The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. " There is only one connection string in my app -'PINEMgtConnectionString2'. When I run the app locally on my machine it works. After I move everything to Go Daddy, I get the error message and the following dump"
Line 24: </Fields> Line 25: </aspetailsView> Line 26: <aspqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStringsINEMgtConnectionString2 %>" Line 27: InsertCommand="INSERT INTO Signup(first_name, last_name, email, customer_id) VALUES (,,,)" Line 28: SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Signup]"></aspqlDataSource>
This is indeed the code from my single page app.
The dump is:
[InvalidOperationException: The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.] System.Web.Compilation.ConnectionStringsExpressionBuilder.GetConnectionString(String connectionStringName) +3039085 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlSqlDataSource1() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:26 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlform1() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:10 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlTree(default_aspx __ctrl) in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:1 ASP.default_aspx.FrameworkInitialize() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx.vb:912306 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +40 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest() +86 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestWithNoAssert(HttpContext context) +18 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +49 ASP.default_aspx.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +29 System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +303 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64
After Googleing, asking Go Daddy for info (which they dont give) , etc for three weeks, I need serious mental help in the form of a solution of this problem. Your help with the problem or the name of a good mental health professional in eastern N.C. (maybe both) would be appreciated.
I have seen another thread with this same problem, but the problem seemed to be a typo. I am getting an error when I try to access the web site ..

Both the OLE DB Connection and ADO.Net Connection in SSIS Package does not remember password.
Im connecting to a SQL Server 2000 box using its sa password as test.
The SSIS package runs fine when you first set up the connection in bids
The bottom line is that SSIS keeps forgetting the password I feed into the two Connections that I'm using. I double-click a connection, type the password in, check "Save my password" and hit "OK" but the password disappears from there whenever I run the package or double-click the connection again.
is there any known workaround for this issue as I would like to schedule my SSIS package using a SSIS Step in a SQL Server 2005 Agent job.
the only thing I found when googling this error was link below but the workaround described here is a little harsh
dear list can anyone figure out a workaround as to why OLEDB Provider MSDORA cannot store passwords I have all the info stored in a table (Project Real Best Practise) The user id I have stored in string ConfiguredValue gets transfered to OLEDB Provider MSDORA named (SQL_REAL_Source_myoradb) but not the password To workaround this bug only with MSDORA can aynonne sugest a setting I should use in package security ie the default is EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey?
thanks Dave

Hi. New to ASP.NET and first time posting. My web app connects to a SQL database - SQL authentication. Users login to the web app through the login server control. Once authenticated, it is my understanding that the user name and password are stored on the client as a cookie. How do you programmatically get this user info and use it for the userid and password parameters of the connection string? Is there a better way to use the authenticated user info to access a SQL database? Thanks
I have a table with embedded files in it and also ftp server/user/pwd fields so that each record has all the data and information required and need to configure an SSIS package to to FTP them to the destination as specified in the record within the databaseAt the moment I have a data flow task which uses a Derived Column and an Export Column transformation which creates the files to a temp folder then it runs a ForEach loop container back on the control flow to FTP each file and to then move each file to an archive folder.
All I think I need to know how to do is to somehow control the FTP connection settings with the fields from the database within this foreach loop, but it is a for each file collection. I also need to update each record saying it has been FTP'd as well Do I need to have an initial query outside of this foreach loop to populate an array which can be used for the 4 FTP connection fields (server/user/pwd/directory), if so how?
Any ideas as to how to correctly finish this package.
I have deployed to production a number of nested packages (parent packages that call child packages) to the SQL msdb via the Save As option rather than building a deployment utility. These packages reference configuration files in a static location off of the c: drive on the production server. In the development environment, when connection changes are made and I run the Reload with Upgrade option the connection manager takes on the new server and user id settings. However, out on the production side I get the following error from the SQL job log:
Cannot load the XML configuration file. The XML configuration file may be malformed or not valid.
As a result the SQL job uses the default connection information which references the development database rather than the production database. I did research the error but found no good solutions. Is there a way to ensure the configuration files are formed correctly and that the packages are correctly referencing the configuration files? We are trying to run the ETL updates via a SQL job.
How do I get the file name appended with the time stamp info like this: Order_file__2002626_8_34_4.csv in an automated process which generates the file? Any help??
I've been searching here and in Google, but haven't been able to find a good example of using the File System Task to copy files. I've seen Rafael Salas' blog http://rafael-salas.blogspot.com/2007/03/ssis-file-system-task-move-and-rename.html but that was moving and renaming.
What I want to do is copy a single file multiple times. Each time I copy the file and paste it, I will give the new file the name from the recordset that I have passed to it.
I used the Expressions to place the destination path and filename in a variable, but I am getting an "DestinationPath is not valid on Operation Type CopyFile".
An help/examples of how to do this would be appreciated.
I cannot get the log file path read from the configuration.
If the path in the Connection Manager is invalid, package throws an error "SSIS logging provider has failed to open the log" instead of reading it from the config.file. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the portion of the config file. Everthing else is read from the config file correctly.
I have dozens of packages that work as follows (high level... not listing all the steps just those relevant to this question)
- Get list of files in directory
- Join list to list of already imported files
- Those not imported put into an ADO.Net object
- Loop through ADO.Net record (which contains the filename) and import each file.
I just set the connection string of the flat file to be the variable in the loop (expressions.. connection string). Pretty standard stuff. Now I tried to do the same with a file connection (not a flat file) becuase I have a source that is from a mainframe and I had to write a custom source script and its not working. Basically the source script uses
And it opens the same file over and over (not ever changing as the ConnectionString expression changes like it does for flat files) and imports it even though I have verified the loop is correctly looping through all the different files.
I am having a terrible problem with an SSIS Package. I created a connection in the Connection Manager and the option "Use a specific user name and password" is selected. I enter the ID and PW and make sure “Blank password� is not checked and “Allow saving of password� is set, but after I test the connection and it succeeds the password is no longer remembered. Has anyone had a similar problem. This is frustrating.
In connection manager in ssis, I am able to choose 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oralce' and provide server name, username/ password. The test connection results is successful. and I check 'Save Password', however, when I try to run the package it keep getting an error:
ora-01017 - invalid username/ password.
it seem si can not save the pasword.. what should i do to resolve this problem
I want to allow access to a database from another computer via tcp/ip connection.
When i use Windows authentication, this works if access from the same Windows account name; it is not necessary to supply any UserID or something else. But how to authorize access from another windows user account?
When i don't use  Windows authentication ( SqlConnectionStringBuilder.IntegratedSecurity=false in C#) i never succeed to access to the database even on the pc where the database is. I created a login+password+user using code like
command.CommandText = String.Format( "CREATE LOGIN {0} WITH PASSWORD='{1}';", login, password ); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); command.CommandText = String.Format( "CREATE USER {0} FOR LOGIN {1};", userName, login ); command.ExecuteNonQuery();
but how to use these Login, user, password ? What i'd like to do is simple: allow access to my DB by supplying a Name and a Password.
I use VS express2014, C#, .net 4.x and VS CE 2013, Windows 8.1&7
For my db connection managers the password is not being saved. I have 'remember password' checked for each connection manager, but when I close down the BIDS and open it again, I have to re-enter the password again. Even when I import the dtsx file into SQL IS, its not in the connection manager information. I have to re-enter the password again every time prior to running it,.
What is causing this? I don't want to have to enter in the password everytime I run it because the jobs are going to be scheduled and no user interaction unless one fails.
