I have a C# script task which references an external XML file which lives in the same .SLN project folder.

I am able to find the file and use its contents when running within Visual Studio 2008.

When I attempt to run the deployed package via SQL Server Studio, my package fails on the task which reads the XML file.

I tried referencing the XML file using both examples below....

Any ideas what's causing this?


doc.Load("E:\\SSIS_Source_Files\\Test_Data\\Test_Data\\myDoc.xml");

doc.Load("myDoc.xml");


Thanks!

you need to put file in a shared folder and should use UNC path to reference it like
//machinename/drive$/....
Also if you're executing it from sql job, it gets run under service account. In that case, you should also give access to folder for service account for it to read the file.
