I want execute package with SQL Server Agent. I create a job and I try all the solutions : my job doesn't want to work.
I success to launch the package but the execution failed.
I try the same job launching from the server : it doesn't work either.
So, I copy the command line (/FILE, /DTS or /SQL) and with DTEXEC utility it works when this command is executed on the server (on a client computer, the problem "the product level is insufficient" appears).
Why is it working with this utility and not with a job ?
I try to change every secured option (credential --> proxy --> Run as ; change the owner of the job ; etc.)
Hi, I am web developer. But for the last few weeks i have been working on SQL2005. I actually exported data from a table (SQL 2000) into the Excel sheet and then i have been trying to import data from Excel sheet into another table(SQL 2005). For this i had created SSIS package successfully. I had added this into integration services project(MicroSoft). After pressing CTRL+F5. I am repeatedly getting the following error DTExec:The Package Execution returned DTSER_FAILURE<1> Please help me because requirement is urgent.
when I try to run a package as Job I receive the following error
Executed as user: SITAsqlserveragent_svc. The package execution failed. The step failed.
Has someone an idea how I can get more detailed information about WHY the job failed? Tha package was created in BIDS and imported into MSDB. Running the package from the Integration Services context menu works, but starting it as a job from SQL Server Agent fails. Any idea or hint what the reason could be or how I can get more information?
I am finishing a port of a project that was done with RS2000/AS2000/DTS2000. The cube process is triggered remotely by a Korn Shell script from Services for Unix that runs a DTS package:
I have finished porting the AS and RS parts to their 2005 equivalents and now I am trying to get the cube processing converted. I have built a SSIS package that processes the cube and I have deployed it to the SQL Server in MSDB. When I am logged on to the SQL Server box directly, I can execute the package via the Management Studio and from the command line via:
When I try to register the SQL Server in Integration Services from my client PC Management Studio it fails with "Access Denied". When I try to run the dtexec from my client PC it fails with "Access Denied".
I have walked through Kirk Haselden's instructions at:
(adding myself to Distributed COM Users, noting the correct DCom Config settings for MsDtsServer and restarting the Integration Services service) and the problem is still not resolved. I have posted to the DTS group on Technet and now I am posting here. This can not be run scheduled by SQL Agent as it needs to be triggered by other load/postload activities. Are there any other fixes for this problem that I can try?
Thanks,
Keehan
By the way, being able to have all the parts of this project in one dev environment is great. The previous application was developed in 3 separate locations which was pretty clunky.
I have an SSIS ETL Package that runs perfectly in debugger.
It is saved to the local SQL Server using "rely on server security".
The SQL Server Agent job runs at night and the job fails right at the last step. It is actually loading the data, because I write a record with row counts to an audit table, and they are successfully incrementing.
The real issue to me is that it is failing randomly, sometimes it will run 7 times then fail once, others it will go 2 or 3 days then fail. The job runs at the same time every night, and takes within a minute or two variance.
I've looked at the logs, and done a trace, and I can't seem to find anything that would cause the failure. The closest thing to an error is a join parameter note in the trace that's on tthe MSDB database.
Not a lot to work with, I know... but does anybody have any advice for me? Thank you in advance!
I have been trying to schedule a package I design to run off hour, but unable to do so. Here is a strange issue:
1. I was able to fully run and complete the package through VSS. My package has three steps and I have on complete arrows from one step to the next... When I run it, it does what I expected in SSIS designer.
2. I was able to deploy and run the actual package by double click on the file system and it runs successfully through Execute Package Utility.
So my package does loop through a file folder and insert records from within the folder through execute SQL task to a SQL table...etc. Typically it takes a while to run....
However, when I put the package under SQL agent and run it as a job (through setting up the sql job to call a package on the file system). It runs and completed within a few seconds.... Somehow, it didn't give me an error, but it doesn't seem like it acutally runs the package.
Does the execution of the package somehow sends success message back prematurely to SQL job? Why does it not successful run?
Is there any configuration setting that I am missing here? How can I find out if it actually runs the package and why does it returns so quickly and claim successful, yet it didn't do anything??
I have a serious problem with my SSIS Package while executing using 32-bit DTExec and 64-bit DTExec.
Here are the details:
Environment:
Windows Server 2003 64-bit (Build 3790: Service Pack 2) SSIS 32-bit & 64-bit installed SQL Server 2005 (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (X64) - RTM)
SSIS Package details (compiled in 64 bit)
Script tasks only Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (using TRY...CATCH block) PreCompileScriptIntoBinaryCode = TRUE Run64BitRunTime = TRUE
Execution
Batch file that uses DTExec to execute the Package.
SCENARIO I am trying to exeucte the above SSIS package using both 32-bit and 64-bit DTExec to make it failure by providing invalid connection string. Here are the details,
Wrong connection String using 32-bit Execution
While establishing the connection the error message has been nicely captured in to my Exception block and writes into the log file.
Wrong connection String using 64-bit Execution
While establishing the connection the error has not been catpured anywhere (although I have TRY CATCH block) and it haults there itself with the message "Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException". Later I found that the error is due to the connection string along with the unhandled exception.
Please suggest any one of the following my findings, also if you have any other advice would be very much appreciated.
1. Shall I go ahead and fix the issue by handling those unhandled errors? (e.g Appdomain, application). I tried several but still not working using 64-bit DTExec.
2. Shall I go ahead and use 32-bit DTExec to execute the package? If so, is there any other major issue...like performance or anyother bug?
P.S: We cannot apply any service pack for SQL Server 2005 at the moment. Sorry abt it. If you have any specific hotfix for DTExec (without affecting SQL Server) then we can decide.
Sorry for the lengthy one and Thanks very much for you help in advance .
I am extracting data from an Oracle database and have installed the latest x64 ODAC. When I run the 64 bit dtexec in cmd the package runs fine with no errors, but when creating and executing a SSIS job in the agent it fails. I've tried creating the job using CmdExec as well and I get the same errors:

The CmdExec job step uses the _exact_ same command as the one I execute successfully in cmd: "c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe" /FILE "C:PackagesLoad Dimension Data.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW
I have managed to find two work arounds, but they are quite ugly:
1) Schedule the package execution using Windows Task Scheduler, basically create a bat file which runs the package. 2) Schedule the package in SQL Server agent, but as T-SQL script and use xp_cmdshell, i.e. EXEC xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /FILE "C:PackagesLoad Dimension Data.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW'
Both work and use the 64 bit dtexec. Not that elegant though..
CmdExec and the 32 bit version of dtexec works, but is not good enough for me since we bought new hardware and 64 bit software just to be able to address more memory. Has anyone managed to execute a SSIS package successfully using the agent and the 64 bit OraOLEDB.Oracle.1?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Btw, I am using Windows Server 2003 x64 and SQL Server with SP2.
I have stumbled on a problem with running a large number of SSIS packages in parallel, using the €œdtexec€? command from inside an SQL Server job.
I€™ve described the environment, the goal and the problem below. Sorry if it€™s a bit too long, but I tried to be as clear as possible.
The environment: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, SQL Server 2005 32bit Enterprise Edition SP2.
The goal: We have a large number of text files that we€™re loading into a staging area of a data warehouse (based on SQL Server 2k5, as said above).
We have one €œmain€? SSIS package that takes a list of files to load from an XML file, loops through that list and for each file in the list starts an SSIS package by using €œdtexec€? command. The command is started asynchronously by using system.diagnostics.process.start() method. This means that a large number of SSIS packages are started in parallel. These packages perform the actual loading (with BULK insert).
I have successfully run the loading process from the command prompt (using the dtexec command to start the main package) a number of times.
In order to move the loading to a production environment and schedule it, we have set up an SQL Server Agent job. We€™ve created a proxy user with the necessary rights (the same user that runs the job from command prompt), created an the SQL Agent job (there is one step of type €œcmdexec€? that runs the €œmain€? SSIS package with the €œdtexec€? command).
If the input XML file for the main package contains a small number of files (for example 10), the SQL Server Agent job works fine €“ the SSIS packages are started in parallel and they finish work successfully.
The problem: When the number of the concurrently started SSIS packages gets too big, the packages start to fail. When a large number of SSIS package executions are already taking place, the new dtexec commands fail after 0 seconds of work with an empty error message.
Please bear in mind that the same loading still works perfectly from command prompt on the same server with the same user. It only fails when run from the SQL Agent Job.
I€™ve tried to understand the limit, when do the packages start to fail, and I believe that the threshold is 80 parallel executions (I understand that it might not be desirable to start so many SSIS packages at once, but I€™d like to do it despite this).
Additional information:
The dtexec utility provides an error message where the package variables are shown and the fact that the package ran 0 seconds, but the €œMessage€? is empty (€œMessage: €œ). Turning the logging on in all the packages does not provide an error message either, just a lot of run-time information. The try-catch block around the process.start() script in the main package€™s script task also does not reveal any errors. I€™ve increased the €œmax worker threads€? number for the cmdexec subsystem in the msdb.dbo.syssubsystems table to a safely high number and restarted the SQL Server, but this had no effect either.
The request:
Can anyone give ideas what could be the cause of the problem? If you have any ideas about how to further debug the problem, they are also very welcome. Thanks in advance!
to DTEXEC from a agent job , what will be the permissions that are needed ? I guess that can be SQL Server login with admin permissions will be fine and we don't need a proxy setup.
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.
I have various ssis packages which need to schadule through SQL server agent, I manage to schadule those packages but every time SQL server agent execute those packages automaticlly they failed ... I went to package log and it gives error that Step one failed, on the other hand if i execute those packages through "Execute Package Utility", they run without any error ...
I have been trying to schedule a package I design to run off hour, but unable to do so. Here is a strange issue:
1. I am able to run and excute the package successfully through VSS. After I finished designing all my flows and containers, my exceution was successful to all my data sources.
2. I was able to deploy and run the actual package by sending to my local file system and it runs successfully through Execute Package Utility.
HOWEVER!!! when I tried to schedule this package through file system under sql server agent to run at night or through start job within SQL agent always failed...
I am puzzled so I added some logging on the package. The error message shows the following....
<message>The connection "{087B883F-D188-440A-9501-FF38CF5CEC28}" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
<message>Failed to acquire connection "10.0.2.2.LogDB.jhwang". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
But I thought if I had set the connection correctly to remember my passwords and using SQL server standard login within my package (connection manager) and should resolved the connection issues....
Why did it failed when I try to run it under sqlagent? But not through Execute Package Utility? Is there is a special setting I need to do for it to run under sql agent?
I notice within the job step when I choose the file source to point to my package... there was a tab called data sources where it has the connections I defined in my package. Does it matter if I put a check box on them or not? Either way they failed to connect.
Hello, I've configured SQL Server 2000 for merge replication and am trying to start the snapshot agent for the publication and after about 20 minutes of it trying to start, it gives up with this error.
Server execution failed
There is no more information in the event viewer. I've tried it with a bunch of different subscriptions. SQL Server and SQL Agent are running under a local account which has access to the replcation data directory. SQL Agent is running.
Our SSIS packages use the Web Service Task to call services to send email and write package failure data to a department wide database. These Web Service Calls are failing with HTTP 401 errors. It was caused by the passwords for the HTTP connections not being saved when the SSIS pkgs were saved to .dtsx files. I have tried saving the package with a password and the EncryptSensitiveWithPassword protection option. This password can be supplied when the package is called from another package or a package is executed in Visual Studio but cannot be supplied to DTexec to execute the package in a job. DTexec does have a /Password parameter but it is rejected if the package is loaded from a .dtsx file. This appears to be a bug in DTexec. It only accepts the /Password parameter when the package is loaded with the /SQL option. Specifying /Password and /File is not supported.
Is this a known bug? Are there any workarounds? Has anyone successfully called a Web Service from SSIS executed via DTexec?
I'd like to know if there's a way to pass parent package parameters to a package executed by SQL Server Job Agent? It appears that sp_start_job doesn't have any variable that could accomodate this.
I have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow.
From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job .
But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?
Hi, I have a package which has 2 file system tasks and 2 data flow tasks all in a for each loop container. if i execute the package from the development studio its executes fine but when i try to run it from the command prompt using the dtexec utility..it just runs upto the first data flow task and then it hangs unexpectedly. Any help on this would be really appreciated.
I tried to execute the package,which is importing the data from the Flat file(flat file from map network drive on other computer).But Packages are created and executed on Server.While i executing that package it shows error as "Package could not be found.".
both variables as you can see are in the top level. the problem is that ChannelCode is string but Status is Integer. if I take out the /SET Package.Variables[Status].Value;1 part from the command line it will work fine. I think th eproblem is down to diffenrt types of variable as there are two types of String and Interger.
any ideas on what the problem migth be. p.s. I am runnning SQL server 2005 Dev edition (without any SP) Cheers
I created a package and stored in SQL server. I am running it as follows
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell dtexec /sq "ABC DEF GHI" /ser "Prod" ABC DEF GHI --> is my package name. When i run this from a job, it runs without error but when i run the above sql i am getting error as
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near '/'. Am i missing some thing, please advice. Is that the problem between spaces in the package name?

I have a file-deployed package which I need to call N times at once using DTEXEC. When I attempt to execute N instances of the package, the second instance doesn't execute. I can execute different packages at the same time, but never the same package more than once. Does anyone know how to get this scenario working? Just to clarify a bit more - I can call the package as many times as I like as long as I wait until the previous run of DTEXEC is finished. Please help!
I am executing a package via vb.net with package.execute using the IDTSEvents interface inheriting DefaultEvents. I am trying to emulate DTExec functionality. The package runs fine and I am catching events, but I don't get nearly as many info and progress events as are put out by DTExec. From my understanding DTExec also used the managedDTS application object, is that not the case? If it uses this does anyone have an ideas on how it is grabbing more events? For example I don't get these events that DTExec shows ..

Here's is the situation : I have a script component that uses the aspnet membership provider to create users from a csv file in an aspnetdb database. In my Business Intelligence Developpement Studio (BIDS) everything works well. I added the aspnet membership provider in DtsDebugHost.exe.config and when I run the package from the BIDS it does what it have to do.
The problems begin when I deploy the package in file system as well as in sql server. When I run it doesn't use the DTExec.exe.config to find where are added the membership provider. If I refer to that post : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=541086&SiteID=1 When I run the package from SQL Server it should use the DTExec.exe.config as an app.config for my script component. But it doesn't use it at all and stop with an error that have nothing to do with that. I'm sure that it doesn't use because even when I have a wrong DTExec.exe.config it shows the same error.
If some one knows something about that it will be really great. I need to force my package when it's in stored packages to use one of the *.config as an app.config file.
It looks like you can run an SSIS package via the DTEXEC command. You can also specifiy a configuraiton file flag on the command. Is there anyway to specify a configuraiton filter if you stored it into a table vs and xml file?
I'm having an odd issue trying to run an SSIS package on a 64 Bit SQL 2005 SP2 (build 3042) Windows 2003 SP2 64 bit AMD Cluster. I have to use the dtexec cmd line utility from SQL Server Agent because I need to connect to an Access database. When running the package from dtexec, it doesn't seem to be able to load the package, i keep getting this error:

I'm using SSIS package to extract text file, and load into SQL Server. I test the SSIS package import manually, it works. Then I'm using SQL Server Agent to set up schedule. According to the log, the job agent work at the scheduled time, yet job agent throw out the error message.
Message1: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sysAdmin. The last step to run was step 1 (Extract Data).
Message2: Executed as user: SQLSERVERsysAdmin. The package could not be loaded. The step failed.
Now I only have 1 step and set up "on success action" then "quite the reporting success". Any clue? Thanks
I have a SSIS package that I developed using Business Intelligence Development Studio. I imported it into our SQL Server database and it runs fine (when I connect to Integration Services within SQL Server Management Studio, and run the package). But when I created a SQL Server Agent job comprising 1 step, to run this package, it fails. The failing step attempts to read data from a MS Access 2000 DB into SQL Server 2005.
I added logging to the package, and got the following error logged to the Event Viewer: "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "CurrentYearPCStats" failed with error code 0xC0202009."
I then created a new Operating System (CmdExec) step, calling DTEXEC with the command line copied from that generated by the SSIS step. The command line is: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTEXEC.EXE" /SQL "AFAReductionAFA Reduction Integration" /SERVER <ourservername> /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF
This failed with the same error in the Event Viewer, but for some reason also produced a meaningful error in the SQL Server Agent job's View History: Description: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data."
Please note that the SQL Server Agent runs using user id sqlservice, by default, and I have amended this user's Windows account to make it a Domain Admin.
Please let me know why I might get this error, when the package runs OK on its own.
