When trying to execute an SSIS package I get the following error:

 The step failed.

Any ideas on how can I solve it?

Answer 1

i had a similar problem and what i did to get my package to run was: a. Open Job properties in SQL Server b. On the Steps page in the Package field: I used the entire folder name instead of the mapped name, for example: \share\allusers\myuserid\mypackage.dtsx instead of A:\mypackage.dtsx

Best.

Answer 2

It looks to me like the Service account for the SQL Agent doesn't have permissions to read package.dtsx.

Maybe check which account is running the SQL Agent & give it NTFS read permissions to C:\Users\ygal1\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Integration Services Project2\Integration Services Project2

Or store the DTSX file in a location the SQL Agent account can access?
