Extract CSV File Error : Cannot open the datafile

  • What I am trying to achieve is run an SSIS package from SQL Server which is on a database server. I have no problems running the SSIS package within visual studio but when I try to run as a SQL job in SQL Server it fails and I get the below message.

    I have created a proxy and tried running as a job again but it still fails

    Extract CSV File:Error: Cannot open the datafile "Z:\Program Files\Employment Survey\Final ESS Export.csv".

    Any Suggestions ?

     

  • change it from using the mapped drive "Z" and use the UNC path - first step, I suspect that sql can't map the Z drive
