Error: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source co

Hello,

I have a SSIS package with a Data Flow task. This task transfers the data from SQL Server 2000 to a table in SQL Server 2005.

I deployed and tested this package on the Test Server. Then put this package in a job and executed it - Works fine.

On the production server- If I execute the package through DTEXECUI, it works fine. But when I try executing it through a job- the job fails and it gives me following error:

Description: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The "external metadata column "T_FieldName" (82)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection....

What I don't understand is, why are there no errors displayed when I execute the package through DTEXECUI.

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks.

I can only guess that it is looking at the wrong data source or something. This is most likely symptomatic of something else. Check that the account you are running SQL Agent as has got all the relevant permissions.

Thanks Jamie,

Account under which the SQL Server Agent was running was causing the problem- Permissions Issue.
