Key not valid for use in specified state - SSIS


You might see the following error while a package was newly imported and is set to be called from an SQL Agent through a job. The job would fail reporting the below error.

Source:       
Description: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Property" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available.
End Error

This is mainly because, the package protection level, which is by default set to  "EncryptWithSensitiveKey"

Resolution: Set the package protection level to "DontSaveSensitive". But, if in case you know the password for the key, you could use it.

How to change the SSIS Package Protection:


In Business Intelligence Development Studio, open the Integration Services project that contains the package.
Open the package in the SSIS designer.
If the Properties window does not show the properties of the package, click the design surface and prss F4.
In the Properties window, in the Security, select the appropriate value for the ProtectionLevel property.
If you select a protection level that requires a password, enter the password as the value of the PackagePassword property.
Save and Close the Package and execute successfully.

Digging into a long running job

Revisiting the blogger to finally start again blogging about the SQL Server after a long long time.  This post is on analyzing and digging into what is causing a job significant time to complete. This will be a basic level of approach and I wish, I could have done better. But, its was enough in my case to get to a conclusion, with the knowledge I equip.   Issue : A job that's scheduled to run every three hours, was running for more than 48hours. Average job run time, 1.5hrs.  Analysis : First and foremost thing to do, is to find out on what session id is the job running on the instance. You may use the below query to fetch the session id of the job from the job name. declare @Var1 varchar(36) select @Var1=substring(REPLACE(CAST(job_id AS VARCHAR(36)),'-',''),17,16) from sysjobs where name =' JOB_NAME ' select * from sys.sysprocesses where program_name like '%'+@Var1+'%' You may get a single row or multiple rows with ...

Deferred prepare could not be completed

This is usually an error that is encountered while querying a remote database on a different server instance which says OLEDB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ABCD" returned message "Deffered prepare could not be completed" Msg 8180, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Statement(s) could not be prepared. This is the way I could rectify, though this is not the lone mistake that gives this error every time. Just set the default to the database that is being querying to the user through which the Linked server is connecting to the database.

[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 1934).  The step failed. The Operation above might succeed when its through SSMS. But, would fail when the operation is from a SQL Agent Job. This is because, SQL Agent by default, do not have the SET Options enabled (ON). They are OFF. Reason: The following are the SET Options that are needed while operation on a table with a filtered index. Required SET Options for Filtered Indexes The SET options in the Required Value column are required whenever any of the following conditions occur: Create a filtered index.
