Has anyone attempted (with success) to capture the sql command text from SSIS packages at runtime for logging?
What approach was used?
ProjectREAL used a stored proc to execute all sql statements.
This seemed rather poor in design (formulate a string to pass to the sp just to log the sql command text).
This especially seemed problematic as the stored proc would have to be on the source system.
I have been trying to store my sql in variables which were set to eval as expressions and was hoping to use an ExecuteSQL task in the PreExecute event handler for each task, source, transform or destination which I required logging of the sql command text.
Problem is that, depending on how the expression is formulated (with coding parameter markers or replacing parameter's markers with values) I might only get the pre-parameter replacement version of the sql command text rather than the final parameter replaced sql command text. Also not sure that this design would work with destinations.
I was curious whether it's possible to audit DELETE statements in the MS SQL database. I created a procedure (below), but I didn't find any event associated with DELETE statements.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Alla

1. Does SSRS is J-Sox Compliant, an application must have audit trail feature. For Reporting printing, it should facilitate reports' data logging process.
2. Information like WHO and WHEN printed the report and WHAT data was viewed?
I have setup a Database Audit Specification as follows:
Audit Action Type: SELECT | Object Class: DATABASE | Object Name: SHOPDB | Principal Name: public
Now, when I perform a SELECT query with a bound parameter such as:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE name='queryname'
What I see through the Audit Logs is something like:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE name='@1'
I understand that it is by design that we cannot see these parameters throught Database Level Auditing. I would like to know whether it is possible to see these parameters by any other means using
(1) SQL Server Enterprise Edition, (2) SQL Server Standard Edition, or (3) by an external tool.
I recently read the project real ETL design best practices whitepaper. I too, want to do custom logging as I do today, and also use SSIS logging. The paper recommended using the variable system::PackageExecutionId to tie the 2 logging methods together.
I have made a server security audit and specify from database audit specification to audit "select" on a certain user and on a certain table. I logged in by this user and made the select statement..when i run this query
"select * from sys.fn_get_audit_file('d:Auditaudit1*',null,null)"
It return a value at which time the query has done
after 15 minutes i repeated the same action, i run the audit query and the same result is showed off on the panel.is it suppose to return a list of values by how many times this user has made the select statement on that table ? for example at 5:00 pm then 6:00 pm and so on
Just implemented logging on my package, and the type of logging is to a text file. Any ideas on where should i store my log folder/file, so when I do my build and deploy, I end up moving the folder as well. Do I have to manually do that? How would that work? What if I save the log file outside of my project folder? Where is the log folder/file path specified? Thanks.
Logging in SSIS as compared to DTS is more complex to set up with so many events. What events should I choose if I need something similar to DTS package logging i.e. I simply want to see which tasks executed at what time and whether they failed or succeded and if they failed, what was the error?
I have migrated DTS package into SSIS. One of the ActiveX Script contains the following code. I have a question regarding changing this code.
What is the equilaent object of reading LogFileName in SSIS? I setup the Logging in SSIS, but didn't fidn any option using which i can refer to logfile as it is done in the following DTS code.
It'll be a great help if somebody can assist me in this.
Anyone know if there is a way to make the package only log errors? I only have errors checked, but it still logs the package onstart and onend events. Is there a way to turn this off?
What all would need to be done in order to capture a time that an SSIS package ran and completed? I have had a thread about this before here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1310953&SiteID=1
But, I have been busy and have been off and on with this issue. I really need to find some simple way to show in a report using SSRS the "as-of" date when the data was pulled in. Is using the Execute SQL task going to be that method?
Second time around w/this one. I'm running my sqlserveragent with a domain admin account and everything works well. I then switch to a domain user and the package fails. Windows app log contains ths
Package "Package1" failed.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
So I go to the sql server agent jobs and select the job I'm trying to run. I then go to Job Step Properties and under the logging tab choose SSIS log provider for Text files. What is supposed to go in the Configuration String?
It will let me type a text file in there or choose from one of my "3" datasources in my package. But since I'm developing this on another machine the choice to log to the file system makes no sense.
Please do not refer me to the kb article (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918760) I've read and re-read that. All that I want to do is find out why the package is failing.
Hi, What SSIS logging option should I check to log the success of each component? In log file, I'd like to see what component is currently SSIS executing and what component(s) passed the execution. Thanks
I have written a custom task which writes the details of an error in the windows event log.
I use the on error event to invoke this task.
To simulate the error I try to convert a string into a number. I see that there are multiple as many as 6 messges with different error codes being logged into the windows event log.
They vary from something tangible like number conversion failed to obsure things like thread was being aborted.
Is this normal? to see multiple messages for one type of error.
Can I control this, so that only one message is sent into the windows event log.
(reason is that we have a monitoring software which may raise multiple admin alerts for the same issue).
I'm trying to use the information logged by SSIS packages into the database (the sysdtslog90 table) to track errors. Unfortunately, when the errors are written to the log they are associated with a source and sourceid and not the package and package ID. Sometimes the source is the package, but often it is a process within the package. All I need is some way to associate each error with a package--a package name/ID on each row in the log. This seems like it ought to be a pretty basic need, but I can't figure it out.
After executing a package, I found that the values in the "executionid" column are the only ones that are unique. Can we use this to determine what package was run? We are trying to architect a solution that would allow us to determine as to how long a package ran, if it ran into warnings / errors etc., We can easily accomplish this by having our own table and using Global variables within packages, we could insert / update this table. Appreciate any help.
Can anyone tell me the best way in SSIS to log performance at control flow level i.e. per task I have in my control flow and what performance characteristics it is possible to log.
I am having a problem where duplicate log statements are being written to a log file (as defined by a log provider).
I believe that this is because in the logging dialog box, I have ticked the checkbox next to a child task to override the logging functionality. I need to do this because it is a script task and I want to capture "ScriptTaskLogEntry" events (something that I cannot do at the parent level). However by doing this I seem to get the script events written at the parent, as well as at the Script Task level.
Is there any way of avoiding this, but still capturing the log events from the script task?
Another issue that is possibly linked is that I am getting an error from the log provider:
The SSIS logging provider "SSIS log provider for Text files" failed with error code 0x800700EA ((null)). This indicates a logging error attributable to the specified log provider.
Could this be because of the parent and child task are both attempting to write to the same log provider?
I am currently using the SSIS Logging feature in my SSIS package. Currently, I have defined a destination log file, and each time the package is executed the log file gets appended with that days log.
Im trying to figure out how best to keep the log file name static (it gets emailed out, and my email client looks for a particular log file name) yet include only todays log information and append the rest of the log information to a history log file or something like that.
Has anyone tried doing something similar, or have any ideas on how best this can be accomplished?
I am currently working to write a progress log for my SSIS packages. So far I am able write a new log entry, update this log entry using OnProgress and OnError Event Handlers. I'd like to take it one step further. Whenever the package ends whether cancelled or finished normally; I'd like to write to my logging table COMPLETED_ABNORMALLY on cancelled or COMPLETED_NORMALLY on a normal finish of the package. I'm not sure where to begin with this process. I'd like to utilize a simple method and event handler.
Just like in DTS where we can add error file so that if the DTS package fails we can see what caused the DTS to fail, likewise do we have anything like error logging file in SSIS. I greatly appreciate your help on this. thanks!!
After logging is configured in SSIS package, it seems that after each execution the output is appended to the log file (we are talking about log provider for text files in this case). As a result the file just keeps on growing. I would like to overwrite old information with each run, but I can't find where to configure this. Anybody knows?
I have enabled logging in my package and am using sql table to capture. i have defined a connection for it and i have defined it in the logging option. Once the logging is enabled, using package configurations, i am storing the value for the property "logging mode= 1", which means enabled in the table. But when i close and reopen the package, the package is failing to enable the logging. Even though i have stored the logging mode value in the configurations table, it is not getting enabled. Please help me solve this.
Workaround i have tried is declaring a variable explicitly to store the logging mode value and use it in the expressions of the pkg to define the logging mode. This variable is saved in the configuration table. This way works. but i want to know why it is not working with loggingmode value reading directly from configuration entries.
We have a package that has a connection called Load_DimItem.trc. We don't need this logging enabled for this package anymore. However, if I delete the connection, and delete the log provider (SSIS log provider for SQL profiler), I get errors when trying to close the package after debugging. I get: "Cannot detach from one or more processes. [3172] The object invoked has disconnected from its clients."
I need help...here is the problem.Last weekend, the servers in our datacenter where moved around. After thismove, and maybe coincidental, 1 server is performing very poor. Afterrunning a trace with SQL Profiler, I saw the problem which was laterconfirmed with another tool for SQL server performance monitoring. It seemsthat all connections to the SQL server (between 200 - 400) are doing a login/ logout for each command that they process. For example, the user'sconnection will login, perform a SELECT, and then logout. This is not a..NET application. The client software was not changed, it is still thesame. The vendor has said that it is not supposed to do that, it issupposed to use 1 connection that log's on in the morning and logs off atthe end of the day or whenever the user exits. 1 user may have severalconnections to the database.At times, the server is processing over 250 login / logouts (avgeraged for30 second period). Has anyone seen this problem? I have the server inAUDIT FAILUREs only. The server has become very unresponsive, things thattook 3 seconds now take over 15 seconds.Any ideas???
