SSIS Package protection password

  • Hello everyone,

    The developer of SSIS Package whose not available around has password protected some the SSIS Packages that we are using.

    When I try to Export the Package I am prompted to enter an password as some sensitive data is encrypted. I dont know the password, how can I work around this one? How can I recover the password? What sensitive data can be lost if I export the package?

    This is crucial for me. Please help.

    Thanks.

    Yes exactly it is. The job runs overnight.

    Then you can run below command & check the result:

    SELECT SJ.[name],SJS.[command]

    FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs SJ INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps

    ON

    SJ.[job_id] = SJS.[job_id]

    WHERE SJ.[name]='Your Job Name Here'

    check the output of command column in the result. You should get the password in the command string after the /DE parameter.
