Error: 0xC001000E - connection not found

Hello,

Does anyone know what this error means and how to resolve it? I get this error when I attempt to run a Data Flow Task. The Data Flow Task has one subcomponent, a Flat File Source. I have set up the connection manager to access the flat file, which is on a local directory. I have tried everything to fix this. What could possibly be the problem?

Thanks

Error: 0xC001000E at : The connection "{B9E11DD7-21A1-4FD7-986F-6BDC5B81F51D}" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.

Go in and edit the flat file source - make sure it is pointing at the correct connection manager.

Out of interest, what is the point of a data-flow with only one component in it?

I am just trying to test for now, that is why there is only one component. Why add more components when I can't even get the one to work correctly.

Anyways I resolved the problem... this error was occuring on a DTS migrated pkg. Apparently there are some ghost connections that are persisting, so by starting the pkg from scratch the problem has disappeared. This is my theory anyways.

Ah gotcha. That makes sense.

This error most commonly occurs when you copy tasks/components from one package to another. I know that's not exactly what you've done but its not a huge jump from it. I guess that must be something to do with it.

Glad its fixed anyway.

Yes, the problem (after much testing on my part) ALWAYS crops up when I am trying to run components from a migrated DTS package.

In this case, I have an EXECUTE SQL task, for which I've defined a NEW connection and deleted the old connection completely, and it still throws this error about the connection not existing, even though the sql runs correctly in the database.

I have found that the only solution to this problem is to start the package from scratch, and use the EXECUTE DTS 2000 PACKAGE object instead, instead of trying to run it from the migrated package itself.
