  • RE: Unable to scheule packages

    I agree with Jeff here. Don't use that method, and give the SQLAgent running the job the necessary permissions, and save with no encrypted data.

    Hi,

    Can some one suggest what should i be looking at?

  • RE: Sometimes values get saved, other times they don't. Can't figure out why?

    I hate to say it, then, but you've basically answered your own question.

    I don't know if you need a full on table for this, but yes, you need to create a list somewhere, somehow, for this.

  • RE: Sometimes values get saved, other times they don't. Can't figure out why?

    I'd start with running a serverside trace on the 2012 server to determine if the commands are even getting there.

    If the commands are reaching the server, then it's something we...

    You need to add a profile to the dbmail. It's not security for the login, it's setup for the sysmail profile for the login
