Understanding SSIS-913 Error
The SSIS-913 error is typically related to permissions issues. Specifically, it might occur when the account under which the SSIS package is running does not have sufficient permissions to access a certain resource, such as a file, folder, or database.
- Enforce package signing: require code-signing certificates for all .dtsx deployments.
- Introduce CI/CD for SSIS package deployment: build artifacts from source control, automated tests, and immutable deployments to SSISDB.
- Restrict SSISDB permissions: separate deployment and execution roles; use least privilege.
- Harden storage of secrets: use a centralized secrets manager (e.g., Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) with access controls and no plaintext in file shares.
- Implement egress filtering and allowlisting for outbound traffic from ETL servers.
- Enable detailed logging/monitoring: track SSISDB package version changes, Script Task modifications, and unexpected parent/child process trees; alert on outbound connections from ETL hosts.
Example Use Case
