  • Reply To: Problems Connecting to Sybase using ODBC Drivers

    Reading the error, my guess would be that you have an invalid username or password in your connection string for the SQL Anywhere driver you are using in SSIS.

    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

  • Reply To: Not able to edit DDS in SSSR 2019

    Did you try any of my other suggestions like re-deploying the package?

    Did you get any errors or warnings when upgrading from 2017 to 2019?

  • Reply To: Not able to edit DDS in SSSR 2019

    As a thought - did you upgrade from 2017 enterprise to 2019 standard?

    If not, do you have any other logs to look at? Those logs just say that your POST...

  • Reply To: Dates are rendered in multiple formats in Excel against Cube

    My guess about it "worked previously but doesn't now" is that it is a combination of things. First, changes to the client machines (office updates, OS updates, GPO's being applied...

  • Reply To: Downgrade from Enterprise to Standard (incl. SSAS, SSIS, SSRS)

  • Reply To: Dates are rendered in multiple formats in Excel against Cube

    I am 99.99999% sure that the problem is NOT in the report, but with Excel.

    My first step would be to read the docs on a restore. You can change the file locations for the MDF and LDF when you restore. link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/restore-statements-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2016
