Hi,

The DTS package transforms data from the flat files (network drive) onto
table’s works fine if it is initiated from package itself. On scheduling
this DTS through the task gives the following error.

______________________
Transformation, Error = -2147467259 (80004005)

Error string: Error opening data file: The specified network
password is not correct.

Daren,

Thanks for your reply.

The document 269074 suggested using the UNC path (\\srvname\filename)
instead of mapped drive which also gives the same error message.

Thanks

The error you are getting impies that the SQL Server Agent account does not
have the proper permissions to the share where files are located, or at
least the password is incorrect.

Does the account that SQL Server Agent runs under have access to the UNC
path? Log into the SQL Server machine with that account and see iy you can
access the share. If not then the package will fail.

I am having the same problem as you do. Did yours run successfully
This is the error I am getting

Error string: Error opening datafile: Access is denied

As Rand suggested, you need to check what permissions the SQL Server
Agent service account has, as (syadmin owned) jobs will be executed
under the account, so those credentials are used to make the connection
to the remote machine.

You can test the credentials by logging onto the server desktop itself,
using the service account, and then try and go to the unc path.

Rand & Darren,

The account which is used for the sql server agent has access to the
files (Files are in a UNIX machine accessed through interdrive
configuration).

Thanks

If the account has permissions then you do not have a problem.

Since you do of course, have you tested this whilst logged onto the server
under that account?
Double check the account that is being used. One method of proving the
account is to use an ActiveX Script Task to detect and then log this
information. For example this script will log the machine and user where the
package is currently executing to the event log. These should be the service
account and the SQL server itself.

Function Main()

Dim WshShell, WshNetwork

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

sLogString = "ComputerName: " & WshNetwork.ComputerName & _
vbCrLf & _
"UserDomain: " & WshNetwork.UserDomain & vbCrLf & _
"UserName: " & WshNetwork.UserName & vbCrLf

WshShell.LogEvent 0, sLogString

Set WshShell = Nothing
Set WshNetwork = Nothing

Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function


If this all fails to turn up the problem, then it may be related to
UNIX/interdrive specifically which I'm afraid I am not familiar with, I just
assume it integrates with Windows security to provide seamless file shares
such that a user does not know of it is Windows or Unix at the back end.

Daren,

The Activex script logged correct server,domain & User details on the
event log. But the Schduled DTS still gives the same message.

Thanks
