We have a project perspective called 'Reference' which contains ODX tables. When we are executing it through the execution package it is throwing an error 

 

but when we try executing manually it is executing successfully.

the file format which we are extracting is  XLSX.

 

can you please help us to resolve this issue.

Hi Surendra

How is the perspective set up? Does it use dynamic references?

No, It’s a static perspective only

Hi Surendra

Do you get the error if you manually start the package, not just the perspective?

if I manually run the package also I am getting the error.

Hi Surendra

If you locate the excel data source, can you make sure it is set up like so in the Table Settings.

For Excel data sources you can get issues if it runs in more than one thread.

Let me know if this resolves the issue.
