Connection Manager Error

  • Hi all,

    I've created a very simple SSIS package where I'm trying to convert an excel spreadsheet into a flat file. I've picked up an Excel Source and a Flat File Destination, configured them both to look at the correct files and linked them properly.

    It's not showing any errors but when i try to run it I get the following:

    [Excel Source [1262]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC00F9304. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

    I thought this would be easy and I've not been doing this long so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks

    Stuart.

  • This is crucial:

    There may be error messages posted before this with more information

    So you could take a look at the output window and post everything you find there here in the forum.

    My first guess: BIDS is still configured to run in 64-bit mode, while the Jet/ACE OLE DB provider is only installed for 32-bit. Right-click on the project, go to properties and set the Run64BitRuntime to False.

  • Thanks for the help. Setting the property to false worked. I knew it would be simple. 🙂

  • Going on from this, I'm trying to use this SSIS package in a SQL Server Agent job. I create a new job, add a step using the SSIS package and tick the 'Use 32 bit runtime' box.

    When I try to run the job it fails with the following error message:

    Can anyone help with this?

    Thanks

  • Does the user ELSTREE\JXYZCUSR have read access to the path S:\Private\AML Data Extract\AML Data Extract.xls?

  • JXYZCUSR has read access but not write access.

    I see that the job was invoked by me (ELSTREE/ssmith) but executed by JXYZCUSR. How do I change JXYZCUSR to ssmith?

  • You need to use a proxy account in your SQL Agent jobstep.

  • I have managed to create a proxy account and assign myself to it but I'm still getting error messages every time I run it. The message now reads:

    I am new to all this and really appreciate any help you can give.

    Thanks.

  • I found out the proble. I was using a mapped drive in my connection string and not the full connection string. Once changed the report worked fine.

  • Thank you!!!
