Why do I keep losing connections in my SSIS package?

I have a very simple SSIS package where开发者_Python百科 I take data from a view in Oracle, minimally transform it with a script component, and load that into a table in SQL Server 2008.

Both my DB Source and my DB Destination components have connected successfully with their respective databases earlier today.

Now I get the following error, while debugging in BIDS (VS 2008).

Data Flow Task: ADO NET Destination has failed to acquire the connection {046C4CA9-2BBF-46FD-9FEA-06F1B173BB35}. The connection may have been corrupted.

I fixed a similar one with my Oracle connection by deleting the connection component and creating a new one. The ADO.NET connection appears to be more stubborn. I have made the User Name and Password part of my configuration for deployment. Is BIDS typically this unstable an environment to work in? I need reliable connnections so that I can fix the other bugs I've created. Thanks in advance for any help.

Try using OLE DB for all connections unless you have a specific need for ADO.NET... not sure why, but it always seemed more reliable for me...

You might be better off if you just write your own load in C# or C++ - you might spend slightly more time writing code, but you will spent much less time chasing elusive bugs and googling for workarounds.

Edit: to those who downvoted, would you mind explaining your reasons?

In your DataFlow Task in control flow view set in properties tab the value for delay Validation to true.

set delay validation = true in the properties window worked for me
