How to Schedule and Run a SSIS package ( DTS ) with SQL Agent Job for Non-SysAdmin user

In SQL Server 2005, you need to go through the security layer in order to run the job.

The logic is like this:

�      The job executor account needs the roles of  SQLAgentUserRole, SQLAgentReaderRole,  SQLAgentOperatorRole

�      The job needs to be run under Proxy account

�      The job executor account is better to be used to create SSIS package and so you are sure the job executor account has the right to run this SSIS package.

The following steps can be followed to get the job done.

The work environment is MS SQL Server Management Studio and you log in as sa.

I. Create job executor account

Highlight Security->New Login, say to make login as devlogin, type your password, default database can be your target database.

User mapping: your target database

Msdb database: you make sure to include SQLAgentUserRole, SQLAgentReaderRole,  SQLAgentOperatorRole 
Also grant db_dtsoperator role on MSDB database to devlogin user.

Then click OK

II. Create SQL proxy account and associate proxy account with job executor account

Here is the code and run it the query window.

Use master

CREATE CREDENTIAL [MyCredential] WITH IDENTITY = 'yourdomain\myWindowAccount', secret = 'WindowLoginPassword'

Use msdb

EXEC dbo.sp_add_proxy  @proxy_name = 'MyProxy',  @enabled = 1,  @description = 'Maintenance tasks on catalog application.',  @credential_name = 'MyCredential' ;
GO

Sp_grant_login_to_proxy @login_name=' devlogin', @proxy_name='MyProxy'

Sp_grant_proxy_to_subsystem @proxy_name='MyProxy', @subsystem_name='SSIS'

III. Create SSIS package

In MS SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, you use job executor account devlogin to create the SSIS package (DTS) and make sure you can execute this package in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. Compile/build this package.

IV. Create the job, schedule the job and run the job

In SQL Server Management Studio, highlight SQL Server Agent -> Start. Highlight Job ->New Job�, name it , myJob.

Under Steps, New Step, name it, Step1,

Type: SQL Server Integration Service Package

Run as: myProxy

Package source: File System

Browse to select your package file xxx.dtsx

Click Ok

Schedule your job and enable it
