SQL Server Jobs with SSIS packages - Failed to decrypt protected XML node “DTS:Password” with error 0x8009000B

Question

i have a SQL server job that runs a SSIS package. This job has 9 steps and in each step it extracts data from a different database. the connections strings are defined as param

Answer 1

For me the issue had to do with the parameters assigned to the package.

 In SSMS, Navigate to:
 "Integration Services Catalog -> SSISDB -> Project Folder Name -> Projects -> Project Name" 

Make sure you right click on your "Project Name" and then validate that 32-bit runtime is set correctly and that the parameters that are used by default are instantiated properly. Check parameter NAMES and initial values. For my package, I was using values that were not correct and so I had to repopulate the parameter defaults prior to executing my package. Check the values you are using against the defaults you have set for your parameters you have set up in your SSIS package. Once these match the issue should be resolved (for some)
