    Hello, I hope some one can help explain and that it is an easy fix. Earlier today I was in an SSIS package, it has two different data connections to connect to Teradata, one uses ODBC and the Teradata connection info, and the other uses Affinity. I had an issue earlier, but a reboot solved, and there were no issues with packages or cubes.

    Now when I open a SSIS package, I get errors and a message says its the package is corrupt. I try to make a new one with the wizard to build off the production one, and I get the same issue, and I get this same error message if I open any of my packages.

    The error is:
    Error    1    Error loading Load SQL SDyF.dtsx: The connection type "MSTERA" specified for connection manager "Teradata Connector 1" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name.     C:\~\Load SQL SDyF.dtsx    1    1    

    I recall seeing this MSTERA name, I must have inadvertently left it on that when existing the package so I presume. This connector is used all throughout all my SSIS packages.

    How can I get the connector changed correctly so when I open the package it wont read this wrong info and give the corrupt message again?

    Many thanks,
    JPQ

    Do you know what it should be? You could always try text-editing the package XML (keep a 'before' copy though!)

    No exactly, as all the connectors in the SSIS package are now completely gone.
    I can find them in the SSDE Jobs area, by going to a package, and looking at the props and config, etc. and get the data that way.
    I've never tried to text edit the XML, it seems to be a very unforgiving messy place, and I'm unsure about properly finding anything to edit.

    Just a quick question: do you have the Teradata driver installed on the machine where you are trying to open the package?

    Yes, I'm RDP to the server, and using VS 2013 local to the server, and both the Teradata ODBC 32 bit driver and the Affinity Teradata 4.0  64 bit drivers are on the server. BTW, not only are the TD connectors not in the SSIS package when I open it, neither are any of the MS connectors.
