Frequently Asked Questions
An SSIS package does not run when you call the SSIS package from a SQL Server Agent job step
How do I sort packages in Solution Explorer?
How do I check to see if a record exists in my destination and update it, and if it doesn't exist, insert it?
Why are my mapped drives not working?
- Avoid them at all costs. Use UNC instead. (\\server\share\...) Mapped drives are only available to the currently logged-in user session and when you run SSIS package via a job (SQL Agent or otherwise) mapped drives
are not available because there is no user session.
Why is my SQL Server Destination component not working?
- It can only be used when the package is being run on the same server that you are inserting into.
Why is my Excel interop failing intermittently in my Script Task?
