Answer 1

It sounds like you might not have appropriate permission to use the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) service which is required to utilize transactions in SSIS.

See this article on Transactions for more information: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1585

Also you might need to look more into how the MSDTC works in relation to SSIS to get your issue resolved.

Answer 2

1. Create 2 "OLE DB Connection managers" both connecting to the same database. On the properties of one of the "OLE DB Connection managers" set the 'RetainSameConnection' property to true.
2. Then create 3 "Execute SQL Task" and connect them with the "OLE DB Connection managers" were the 'RetainSameConnection' property is set to true.

3. Add the following statements on there respective Execute SQL task

   • BEGIN TRANSACTION
   • COMMIT TRANSACTION
   • ROLLBACK TRANSACTION

Answer 3

To enable Trancaction is ssis you need to check below prerequiste

1, Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) service should be started in the machine, if its local machine.

2, if you are using has a client (server machine-->user machine) then MSDTC enabled in both machine with security option of NETWORK DTC Access (Allow Remote Clients, Allow Inbound, Allow Outbound) under Component Services --> Computer Properties --> MSDTC tab --> Security Option

3, Sometimes Firewall from any one machine or both can be blocked of network DTC so you need to disable/uninstall.

Errors: Cannot Acquire Connection Manager

Solution: check the step 1 if you are user of local machine, if you are client user check step 2 and 3

Then asusual change the Trancaction Option as required in the properties of package level or container level as you required and check.
