Integration Services :: Running SSIS Job Using Windows Task Scheduler
Jul 16, 2015
I am new to the world of ETL. I recently started using SSIS and I have come across couple of questions on this.
1.Can we run a SSIS Package using windows task scheduler?
2. If the above answer is yes,I don't have the SSMS installed on my machine. Can a SSIS package run in the absence of SSMS?(I do have Visual studio and SQL server data tools installed)
3. Can a SSIS Package run in the absence of Visual studio and SQL Server Data Tools.Say for example, I create a SSIS package and then remove Visual studio and SQL server data tools from my machine. Will the Task scheduler still be able to run the SSIS package?
4. Does the SSMS free edition comes along with SQL server Agent?
Hi, I'm developing an Ads system, which will have an scheduler functionality. Here's how it works: each hour a process will verify and publish an XML file with Ads that have to be shown at that hour. To display the Ad, the "NextDisplay" table's field has to be equal to currently date/HOUR. Then the process will update the "LastDisplay" field with the currently time and call a MsSQL stored procedure that will recalculate the NextDisplay time of the Ad. My problem is doing this stored procedure. I've based my tables to allow the same schedule rules of the Windows Task Scheduler, so I have to verify each rule to calculate the next display time, but it's a difficult process, 'cause there are a lot of details to be considered. I thought interoping with Windows Task Scheduler or seeing some code that do something like that, to have some ideas about how to implement it. Suggestions? Thx!
In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦

I have a ssis package with an oledb connection using windows authentication. i want to understand when i promote this package to the server and add it to a job, then a user login to the server with sql server authentication and run this job. Which/what  windows authentication this package gonna to use to connect to the server ?
we run std 2008 r2. I'll be putting together a pkg whose last step needs to execute a program that resides on a remote (not same as where pkg runs) computer and that program must run on the remote computer. Return code(s) would be important to the pkg. I see talk about running over http which may or may not be possible with that remote ws 2003 sp2 server.
The pkg will be running on a ws 2008 r2 std sp1 machine.Does the community have any recommendations for running a remote program from ssis?
As I think about it, i'm not a big fan of making a pkg wait for another process synchronously. So I may just want to trigger the remote program and let something I would set up on the remote server tell me daily if the program succeeded. Interestingly this is a rewrite of a pentaho job that does wait for the remote program execution. I suppose installing ssis on that remote server is an option but I think i'd get a lot of resistance going that route. I'll probably be triggering a sql agent to ssis job after that remote program finishes.Â
I have a package that I developed in VS2012 (using the SQL Data Tools component) which collects data from a DBF file using the VFPOLEDB provider, and puts it into a database on a SQL Server 2012 X64 server. The project containing the package has the DebugOption of Run64BitRuntime set to false. I have imported this package to the SSIS Package Store of a test and live server (identical setups). The VFPOLEDB provider is installed on both, and I can see in the registry of both machines that it's there for 32bit runtimes.
The package runs fine on the test machine, but fails on the live machine. The live instance of SQL does not appear to recognize the 32bit VFPOLEDB provider that is installed.The only difference in the instances of SQL is that the live environment has an Integration Service Catalog set up, where as the test does not. Looking at the logs of the servers, when the live starts, it runs sp_ssis_startup, and then logs messages about unsafe assemblies being loaded in. This SP is not run on the test environment because there is no catalog.
The jobs I create have the flag set to use the 32bit runtime, but I feel that the SSIS Catalog is having an issue with the VFPOLEDB I am using, and not loading it.
I can set almost all properties of FTP task and FTP connection manager using expressions option. In that option, I don't see that I can set FTP PASSWORD using a variable. How do I set the password dynamically?
I am using the SharePoint adapters from Codeplex that allow me to use SharePoint source and destination tasks in SSIS for SQL Server 2008 and SharePoint 2010. I am able to pull the data from the SQL Server and insert it into the SharePoint List.
However, I prefer to just have fresh data every time, so I'd like to add a step to delete all the items in the list before inserting the new ones. Is there a way I can configure the SharePoint SSIS destination task to clear all the items before I insert new ones?
I have created a FTP task in SSISÂ to upload file to the server. Due to some policy issues we do not have the actual password with us. we have been provided with a encrypted password. Hence I am not able to connect to the server through the FTP task connection manager. Is there a way to connect to the server and send file using the encrypted password, so that we don't require the actual password to run the process successfully?
how do I copy a folder from an FTP location using the FTP task in SSIS. Currently, I can only move the files in the folder one after the other but I want to copy the folder at once.
The Database Trasnfer Task has failed with the following error......failed with the following error: "Invalid object name 'dbo.exampleViewName.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I used the below code to read excel files  in SSIS 2008R2 script component and it is working fine but when i copied it in Script Task of SSIS 2012, the code doesnt work. I have define one variable
Var_ExcelFileName and stored location of excel file.

I am searching for a solution for Calling or consume a web service in SSIS through Script task. I have gone through so many links but i am able to find the exact solution. I am getting so many references, though i am unable to crack it.
My requirement is i need to call a web service URL through script task which is having a client certificate. When we are trying to connect to the URL it will ask for the certificate authentication. After calling this URL we will get a WSDL file from the web service, We need to consume that WSDL file and we need to identify the methods inside this WSDL and need to write the data available in this WSDL to the data base tables.
How can we call that web service URL( With certificate) through script task and how can we read the WSDL file and How we can load the data into DB table.
I have an Execute SQL Task that saves the results in a variable such as, RecCounts.
I have a Send Mail Task with a message source of: [User::RecCounts]
However, when I run the package I get this error.
Error: Failed to lock variable "[User::RecCounts]" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found.
This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".
I have tried to incorporate 638 lines sql code inside the Execute SQL Task editor. But it is truncating the codes inside the Execute SQL Task (SQL command) in SSIS.write all 639 lines of codes in the Execute SQL Task Editor in SSIS.
I am looking for solution for "Communication link failure" Â since many months in google but no luck, am running an SSIS package to load data. job failing many times with error 'Communication link failure', searched every where but found nothing.
Below is the complete error description when job failed.
OS - Windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition RAM - 198GB Â SQL server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition and error description is below,

I want to open a excel file in script task and assigned the wraptext to one of the column. In the below code the final variable gives the path of the excel file. But i got the error at excel.workbook.open.
Error: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC): Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbooks.Open(String Filename, Object UpdateLinks, Object ReadOnly, Object Format, Object Password, Object WriteResPassword, Object IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended, Object Origin, Object Delimiter, Object Editable, Object Notify, Object Converter, Object AddToMru, Object Local,
I'm writing my first SSIS custom task. I have added Public properties, which appear in the standard task properties window, and to one of them I have added an EditorAttribute as follows:
   <Category("General"), _    Browsable(True), _    EditorAttribute(GetType(UIFileNameEditor), _    GetType(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))> _    Public Property FilesToArchive() As String
[Code] ....
When I select the FilesToArchive property in the Properties window, I get an ellipsis that appears in the property value. When I click on the ellipsis, it brings up the FolderBrowserDialog, which is defined in the UIFileNameEditor class. This all works fine.
What I want to do is to bring up the EditorUI, the one you get when you double click on the task, and also populate that with properties which can be edited. I have a class which inherits DTSBaseTaskUI, which is displayed when I double click on the task.
I can also get properties to be displayed in that UI but I cannot get them to be editable in that UI, using the same technique as in the standard Properties window, as described above.
If, in an SSIS package, you put an instance of an 'Execute SQL Task' task in the Control Flow, in the Properties window, you can see the properties of the task, for example CodePage.
If you double click on the task, the Execute SQL Task Editor appears, with several of the properties which are also in the Properties window, including CodePage.
If, in the Editor, you update the value of CodePage, then click OK, the value of CodePage in the Properties window is updated immediately.
I have written a custom SSIS task, which also has the same properties in the Properties window and in the Editor. The Editor also has an OK button. When OK is clicked, the values of the task properties are updated. An example property is FolderToArchive. If I open the Editor, change the value of FolderToArchive and click the OK button, the value of FolderToArchive in the Properties window is NOT immediately updated.
If, however, I select the FolderToArchive field in the Propertiesd window, it is then updated with the value I entered in the Editor.
How do I get my task to update the values in the Properties window, after changing a value in the Editor, when I click the OK button?
I would have thought I would need something like, in pseudo-code,
   Task.Parent.PropertiesWindow.Refresh    where task is of type Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Task and Task.Parent is of type Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package.
In my SSIS Data Flow Task, I have a query that retrieves data based on a couple of date parameters. Is there a way we can pass/use the Variables defined in the SSIS package in the query ?
(I am assigning values to those variables from C# code)
The query should look like this:
select ordernumber, customerid from salesorder
where statecode=3 and datefulfilled between @variable1 and @variable2
I have created for each container to call all the packages in a folder like below, also created a variable.
Then I add execute package task inside of foreach container and selected file system in a location and in connection called currently creating package name finally in connection properties i added variable in expression which i created and mapped into for each loop container. I referred below linkÂ

All the packages are running but its not ending once all the packages executed its re run and continue the running process, how to stop once all the packages execute.Â
I have an execute process task set up to run ftp.exe and a script argument. Â The ftp.exe is referenced in the executable field without a qualified path. Â The package just seems to know it's there relatively. Â I need to change this to run a secured ftp executable that I recently installed on my pc. Â I put the new executable in the WindowsSystem32 folder where the old ftp.exe is stored. Â But when I put the new executable in the executable field, it says the 'File/Process "FTPS.exe" is not in path'. Â I get the same error when I fully qualify the path. Â Is there something I need to do with the new executable for SSIS to pick it up without having to fully qualify the path?
I'm using the FTP Task in SSIS to send files. They task succeeds but the files get uploaded to the wrong folder. Instead of being sent to the cg268301 folder they are being sent to the cg268300 despite selecting /cg268301 from the remote path field in the FTP task editor.
I've tried uploading this file to the /cg268301 file using an execute process task and it works fine. I just don't know why it won't work with the FTP task.
Our project is on SSIS 2012 and we are using the project deployment model. We have parameter the connection managers, created environments, environment variables and configured the references. Hence, when we deploy the solution to higher environments, the connection strings are picked from the environments and not the ones stored in the connection manager.
However, we face issues when in development environment, we need to run the same package but by entering the values manually in the connection manager. Even though the connection details are correct, when we execute the package from Visual Studio, SSIS is not able to connect to the database. Is there any way to have SSIS prompt for the connection details after we have click on "Execute Task" or "Start" from Visual Studio?Â
Now I'm trying to implement logic to check if excel file is opened or not if open send out email in Script task. Using c#
I'm using this one but it's not working fine. always give me file is opened
public void Main()        {            Boolean FileLocked = true;                // Check if the file isn't locked by an other process                   try
In my current project i have a requirement to assign value of an aggregate transform to a variable. But i need to accomplish it without using a script task.
I have a requirement of migrating DTS package which is done in Sql Server 2000 to SSIS 2012.
I started with one package having data driven query task and done with source for which i chose OLE DB Source and given the required select query in ssis 2012
I'm stuck now and i'm unable to choose the relevant tools in ssis 2012 for binding, transformation,queries and lookup tabs used in dts 2000 for this DDQT.
