Jet DB Engine - SSIS OLEDBERROR - Unexpected error from external database driver (1)

Question

My SSIS job hosted in DEV server got failed due to the the following SSIS Error

Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "Unexpected error from external database driver (1).".

In my SSIS package -> Data Flow Task, I am using source as SQL server and destination as Excel. Excel Version is 97-2003 (xls format) and the connection details is:

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source={mypath}\filename.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";

It was running successfully every one hour as scheduled.

The issue occurred when DB instances stopped for windows patching and after started on patching completion

I am facing this issue in the server. I have checked other solutions in Stack Overflow. It was mainly discussed with size based. In my case, SSIS job never changed. I believe this is due to Jet engine driver level issue. I am more looking for driver level check rather than ssis job level code change, as the code never changed and no large data flow is happened.

Answer 1

Same for me after switching to the second node of the cluster after applying wsus updates. Seems to be related to the last updates.

I've filed a connect bug: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/3142556

Just uninstalled: KB 4040685 (This is on my workstation, too) KB 4041693 KB 4041687

It's working fine now!

Answer 2

Same here as well. After applying updates to the server, packages which use Excel 97 - 2003 format have failed.

We are having to switch each connection to 2007 to enable the package to run on the server.

Answer 3

The best recommended solution is to move to Microsoft ACE OLE DB provider.

Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release of the security patch. This is expected to be available in another 2-3 weeks or earlier.

Answer 4

I installed Access Database Engine Tools 2010, after this I changed the Excelversion from 2003 tol 2007 in connection. Then I again can execute my extract packages form XLS files, without having to uninstall KB's BR Annette

Answer 5

Change every datasource from "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" to "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.12.0"

This error ocurs when installed updates: KB4040685, KB4041693, KB4041687

Answer 6

In my case – we have bunch of packages uses older version of excel. Upgrading/Modifying packages is not solution without going thru SDLC process.

As Temp Work Around – We un-installed the security patches - KB4041679 & KB4041690 and things started working.

First, We did uninstalled KB 4040685 and issue still persists.

We are using Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider to read data from Excel(.XLS) file.
