SSIS Connection not found in package

Question

I\'m kind of new to SSIS programming, and I\'m having some problems deploying an SSIS package.

This package runs correctly on my PC, does everything it needs to do ..

Answer 1

The previous remarks about deleting or removing a connection are absolutely a possibility. But you can also get this error when you attempt to invoke a package that uses project level connections (instead of package level connections).

If you are using project level connections and still want to use dtexec, never fear there is a way. I would not recommend converting them to package level connections (assuming you created them as project level connections for a good reason).

You will need to deploy your SSIS project. Your SSIS server will need to have a catalog created (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg471509.aspx). Once you have the catalog, in your SSIS project select Project->Deploy and follow the wizard. The result will be a *.ispac file generated in your SSIS solution folder/bin/Development

Now for the money command, instead of invoking your package with a simple: dtexec.exe /f "package.dtsx"

instead call it this way: dtexec.exe /project "<...>/project.ispac" /package "<...>/package.dtsx"

The ispac file has the project level connection info that is needed to execute your package and you should be set!
