Is it possible to run an SSIS package from a sql server agent job

  • 0

Is it possible to run an SSIS package from a sql server agent job using a proxy account that is not a windows account (sql server account).

I created a SSIS package that runs with a particular sql server account to copy data from one server to another. This can be done everytime by typing the password of the sql server account before running the package. When trying to schedule the package to run under a proxy account, it only accepts Windows(AD) credentials and a proxy account cannot be created with a sql server account! What other workarounds do I have?

    Proxy account must be Windows account… but proxy isn’t the only way to accomplish what you’re trying to do.

    Look under the “Resolution” tab in the following article for other approaches:

    i.e. storing credentials as part of your SSIS package/template or moving the package into the database.
