SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER

Question

It has been a real struggle trying to get this to work on my Windows 7 64-bit machine.

I have a package which moves data from Oracle to SQL and, on our Windows 2008 R2 test server it works fine (within BIDS).

What I have tried so far....

• Copied BIDS from Program Files (x86) to Program Files (to eliminate the brackets issue)

• Installed 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle as well as 32-bit ODAC.

• Tried setting DelayedValidation to TRUE

• Installed TOAD and am able to connect to Oracle database.

Within BIDS, I can test the connection successfully and even preview it, however when I try to execute the package fails on the DataSource task (ie Oracle connection).

Very frustrating and I appreciate any help on this.

Complete error below:

[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "LICS" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: component "OLE DB Source" (1) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.

thanks,

Answer 1

You guys are going to laugh.... but I set Run64bitsRuntime to TRUE and it works lol! I guess it is using the 64-bit driver then - now I'm confused. I dont even want to know whats going on here as long as it works!

Answer 2

Try doing this since your driver is 32 bits.

Right click on project > properties > Debugging > Run64bitsRuntime > False.
