Issue

The wtEtlCredential account is missing or incorrectly configured, causing problems with the lookup table/translation file import process and configured extended attributes databases.

Resolution

If the “wtEtlCredential” SQL Server credential is missing on the EDB (shown below), or the password for the account that is used in the credential has changed. The user will have to update it per the instructions below.

Or, you could add the credential back via the following SQL Script:

CREATE CREDENTIAL [wtEtlCredential] WITH IDENTITY = N’TheLoaderServiceAccount’, SECRET = N’PasswordForAccount’
GO

If the credential exists, but you are still getting the error you may need to update the password. You can update the password via SQL Server Management Studio.

A couple of other things you may want to validate:
SQL Server Agent must be running on that EDB server.
The following SQL Server Proxy account must exist on that server: ?wtEtl application proxy?
