IBMDASQL OLE DB Provider Not Saving Password In DTS Package
May 15, 2007
Greetings,
I am using the IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDASQL OLE DB Provider to import data via query (in a tranformation task) to a SQL 2000 server within a DTS package.
Works great! However, the DTS package(?) does not save my (iSeries) password although I choose this option. I really need the password to be saved so that I can schedule the DTS package... I don't want to have to login and run the package each time (even IT guys take vacations). Or at least I don't want to have to login everytime the server is restarted...
Perhaps I am ignorant, but, I can not find any configuration setting within DTS that will allow me to save the password for the IBMDASQL OLE DB provider. Nor have I been able to find a suitable solution to this by using the keywords search string of "package configuration" within the MSDN forums.
As a workaround, I can use the an ODBC connection along with a DSN file to save the username and password. However, I do not want this information sitting out there in plain text. I would like to use the OLE DB provider and store the username and password on the SQL server as the properties dialog says that I should be able to. Or I can define a UDL (still text file).[Or I can use an ODBC connection set up as a system DSN - I want to use the OLE DB provider]
I've read about adding a connection string to .Net's machine.config file - but, I do not want to use the .NET OLE DB provider and, again, I do not wish to store username and password information in plain text.
Is this a bug in as much as how SQL Server 2000 uses the IBMDASQL OLE DB provider?
I've called and spoke to an IBM tech in regard to this and was informed that the dialog box and error regarding the password are not IBM generated, but rather MS generated.
I hope that there is a solution to my problem.
Has anyone run accross this and found a solution?
Many thanks in advance.
Billy

I have an app that uses ODBC for connection. Everytime the users log in it prompts the user to enter a password.
Is there any way (reg key entery ????) for the password to be saved so the user is not prompted?
Thanks

I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you

User A creates the SSIS Package and provides the password for the connection manager for a task (for OLE DB source) with SQL authentication.
When User B tries to run the SSIS package, the error is thrown as : The package may be damaged.
On typing the password again inside the connection manager, the execution occurs successfully. Is there any workaround to save the password permamanently for the connection manager rather than each user entering it in order to run the package ?

There must be a difference, but I don't know what it is.
Can someone please explain the advantages and disadvantages of each method?

Oracle linked server. If I query Oracle in my packages using SQL it tooks age if I use an OLE DB Oracle connection it takes minutes, so I started to develop my packages using the OLE DB Oracle. The point is that in order to connect the Oracle db I must set up a password (Oracle requires a password but if I use directly SQL it doesn't need any password). This password changes every month so I do need to set up the password for...if I can come up with another solution? I don't know, maybe a unique connection...just set up the password only once.

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
CREATE TABLE [admin].[Configuration](
[ConfigurationFilter] [nvarchar](255) NOT NULL,
[ConfiguredValue] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[PackagePath] [nvarchar](255) NOT NULL,
[ConfiguredValueType] [nvarchar](20) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
ConfiguredValue = Provider=MSDAORA.1;Password=abc;User ID=myuserid;Data Source=myoradb;Persist Security Info=True
PackagePath = Package.Connections[SQL_REAL_Source_myoradb].ConnectionS

I'm getting errors from time to time saving DTS changes as local package. I'm using SQL 2000. I've got sysadmin role.
I know there were DTS package ownership bugs in SQL 7 - but I thought these had been cleaned up with the latest SP.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My team is getting this message when altering a DTS Package, using SQL 2000 DTS Designer. We have downloaded all the SQL updates (Backward Compatibility, and the one specifically for DTS Save problems. Have tried this in SQL2005 as well. Have uninstalled both of these programs, and reinstalled on local machines. No avail. Here is what happens:
1) Editing an existing DTS Package, such as a Text Change, or simple connection change
2) Saving the file creates the exact message below:
Package Error
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Error Description: Code execution exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
3) Then you have to choose OK in the windows Popup Box.
4) The DTS is brought back to the original screen, or completely exited out of Designer.
5) From that point, the Package can no longer be opened for editing, unless you open a previous version (which means changes aren't saved.
We have also tried to SAVE AS another filename. This doesn't work either.
Our team has close to 75 DTS Packages, some simple, some more complex. We are corrupting these left and right. This problem happens no matter what is created in the DTS Package.
This is running into our business operations, and we are unable to find out a resolution...HELP
Any insight in this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

I have several DTS packages saved 'locally' to the SQL server. I want to duplicate a package, so that I can make some changes then replace the original. I certainly don't want to rebuild the entire package from scratch. So, I open up the original package, go to the 'Package' menu and choose 'Save As', then give it a new name and press OK. No errors, all appears well, the title bar even shows the new name of the package. But, when I close the package and go the the 'local' package list, it (the new package name) doesn't appear in the list. Refresh, exit SEM, reboot - doesn't show up. I even looked in the MSDB table where packages are supposed to be stored (at least the name / package id / etc), and it doesn't show there as well. Tried from several client machines.
OS: Windows 2000 Server (advanced) SP2
SQL: SQL 2000 Server (no SP's)
Any help would be great.

Hello All,
I'm new to SQL 2005. I am setting up some SSIS packages which will connect to an Oracle database and copy some tables from it. These packages will then be scheduled to run on a daily basis. Because they will run automatically, it is required that passwords be saved along with the connection string. However, even though the password is saved (and encrypted, I checked the .dtsx in notepad), when I run the package, the connection to Oracle fails. Only if I respecify the password does it run correctly. How can I correctly save this password so that I can schedule automatic execution? Thanks for any info.

I am running SQL Server 2000 SP3 and I am trying to save a DTS package into Meta Data Services and I am receiving the following "Package Error"
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Error Description: General Error -2147217355 (80041035).
I have searched for this error and I cannot find anything related to it. Also, I saw some of the comments about right clicking "Data Transformation Services" and checking the box for allow save to Meta Data Services, however, I do not see that checkbox to allow for this. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it? I'm beginning to get very frustrated with it.

I have a linked server defined on a SQL Server 2005 SP2 standard edition server using the IBMDASQL OLEDB driver. The linked server has been defined and working for months when used from a SQL Server authenticated session. I started converting our developers to Windows Authentication and access to the linked server is denied when used from a Windows Authenticated session. Here are the error messages:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "IBMDASQL" for linked server "DB2ARUBA" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "IBMDASQL" for linked server "DB2ARUBA".
The linked server security is defined to login to the IBM iSeries using a fixed user and password regardless of the login using the linked server.
In order to analyze the problem, I created one sysadmin SQL Server authenticated login and one sysadmin Windows Authenticated login. The Windows Authenticated login refers to a domain login having administrator priviledges on the local SQL Server box.
So, when I connect to SQL Server using the SQL Authenticated login, a query against the linked server works. When I connect to SQL Server using the Windows Authenticated login, the exact same query against the linked server fails with the messages above.
Does anyone know why?

Hi,
Given that Task.Validate() exposes the package's VariableDispenser, but LogProviderBase.Validate() doesn't...
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/microsoft.sqlserver.dts.runtime.task.validate.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/microsoft.sqlserver.dts.runtime.logproviderbase.validate.aspx
...I guess that simply means that I can't access a package's variables within a custom log provider? Can anyone comment/confirm? Any other options/routes to achieving the same..?
We live in hope,
Tamim.

I am interested in determining if package variables can be read from a custom log provider. I am able to pass the values into the custom log provider using an expression in a custom connection manager. My intention is to used the values of these variables upon package failure so I can capture the context of the failure. Unfortunately, if the value of the variable is changed at runtime, this update is not reflected in the custom log provider.
Is it possible to get direct access to the package variables from the custom log provider?
Thanks,
Marc

I originally developed SSIS packages with the destination DB to be SQL Server 2005 for unit testing on my desktop. We are planning on deploying to Oracle. After changing the Provider and other attributes in the configuration file the package loads, however there are lots of issues. The primary one is that the mappings are gone. I'm not sure if that is the result of how the table names are stored "Oracle"."File" versus [SQLSERVER].[File] . Even after attempting to change the way the table names appear I still get the message "the external metadata column is out of sync with the data source columns". Then it lists all of the columns that need to be added.
Is there any way to accomplish this that you are aware of.
Thanks

Hi All,
I've created a DTS package with 2 connections to 2 servers. The operation transfers a db in server1 to server2. I have to set the sa password for each of the server (when setting up the connections).
Our policy is to change the server password regularly. This creates problem as I have to change the password setting at each of the connections. If there are 100 connections, I have to change it 100 times. Is there a way to avoid this so that we can avoid this tedious work.
TIA
Rgds,

When running a step within my DTS package I'm receiving the following error - "Provider generated code execution exception: "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION".
I think it may be something to do with my global variable, but I'm not sure as I'm pretty certain I've set it all up correctly.
Below are screenprints showing my settings.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to change the password on a SQL Server 2000 DTS package programatically instead of justmanually using the the interface?
I have over 150 DTS packages used for building BI data cubes and our password policy requires a password change every 60 days.
I would like to write a windows vb.net application that loops through all the DTS packages and changes the password.
Please advise.
Thanks

How do I force IS to save password on any ProtectionLevel ?

stupid question time...
how do i add a password (ie, what is the exact wording) to the CommandLine in a SQL Agent Job that is running an SSIS package from the File System, pls?
Here is the CommandLine as I currently have it:
/FILE "\dbase01c$SSISPackageDeployment vrscanus_process_uploadscanus_process_upload.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
I have tried /PWD and /pwd and /PASSWORD already. For these, SQL Job says they are not valid commandLine parameters.
