SQL Agent Jobstep Output File Contains Automatically Generated Header

Mar 28, 2007

Hi,



I've created a stored procedure that creates a script to create a number of objects within the database (based on what existing objects are in the database). From Management Studio, this works fine, and the output is exactly as I want it.



I'm now trying to create a job that will execute this stored procedure, and deposit the results into a file somewhere on the server. When the job runs, the script is created in the correct place and is essentially ok.



However, there are a couple of questions I'd like to ask.



Why does SQL Server Agent put a header at the top of the output file? I was hoping to be able to use that output file 'as is' and execute it automatically to recreate my objects when required. (Obviously, I can manually remove the header, but this is an inconvenience in this situation). How do I stop it?



Also, when executed from SSMS, the output is correctly line-spaced. But, the output from the scheduled job adds an extra line between each line of text, which is, again, inconvenient. Why does it do this, and how can I prevent this (again, without manually editting the output)?



Any thoughts and help greatly appreciated.



Cheers

Simon

SQL 2012 :: Adding Header Information To XML Generated File

Apr 23, 2015

I have a sql query:

SELECT
'5' AS 'value/@version',
'database' AS 'value/@type',
'master' AS 'value/name',
LTRIM(RTRIM(( [Server Name] ))) AS 'value/server',
'True' AS 'value/integratedSecurity',
15 AS 'value/connectionTimeout',
4096 AS 'value/packetSize',
'False' AS 'value/encrypted',
'True' AS 'value/selected',
LTRIM(RTRIM(( [Server Name] ))) AS 'value/cserver'
FROM dbo.RedGateServerList
FOR XML PATH(''), ELEMENTS

I need to add some header information to the beginning of the query:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone="yes"?><!--
SQL Multi Script 1
SQL Multi Script
Version:1.1.0.34--><multiScriptApplication version="2" type="multiScriptApplication"><databaseLists type="List_databaseList" version="1">

Everything I have tried ends up as a failure, usually compile issues. My goal here is to be able to automare a configuration file for multiscript so I can keep my server list up to date.

Transact SQL :: Output A File With A File Header

Aug 27, 2015

In my SSIS Package, I have to write my [FileHeaderRecord] row, then my [BatchHeaderRecord] row, then my details. How can I do this in a SQL Server Query? When I try my SSIS, my file looks like so..

FHTEST 00000208262015             BH000208262015  

I want my BH, Batch Header data, to appear on a new row in the file.Do I have to build a dynamic query to do this?Is there any trick in SSIS to do something like this?I did try creating separate Data Flow Tasks to Query the [FileHeaderRecord] and then use a Flat File Destination and then another Data Flow Task to Query the [BatchHeaderRecord] and use a Flat File Destination again NOT overwriting the file.

Output File (.txt) Running Package From SQL Server Agent

Mar 19, 2008



Hello,
I have created a package that runs without problem.
I run the package with the command dtexec /F "package_name.dtsx" > package_name.txt.

Then I run the same package from SQL Server Agent, everything is OK

Then, I tried to edit the command line to have the output file, but I got an error.

The command line is:
dtexec /F "package_name.dtsx" MAXCONCURRENT "-1" / CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E > package_name.txt.
(MAXCONCURRENT "-1" / CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E are created by default)

How can I do?

Thank

Automatically Generated Number But With Prefix

Aug 23, 2004

hey all,

I've posted about this before so apologies to anyone who read it the first time.

I want to have an ID column in my table, but I want the automatically generated number to have a prefix such as ABC. I'd also like to be able to change this prefix from an asp page depending on what is selected from a drop down.

Is any of this possible? I'd really appreciate a reply, even if it's to say this can't be done. Thanks

Subreport Header Which Contains No Records, Is Added To The CSV Output

Apr 9, 2008



Hi All,

I've got a main report with five subreports. Based on a value of a parameter in the main report one the subreports is filled with data, all the other subreports will have no records. When the report is displayed in on the reportserver it is working fine, bit when I export the data to a CVS format, also the element names of the subreports are added to the CSV Output.

When i change the value of Data Output of the subreport item in the main report to Auto it doesn't export the records of the filled subreport.

How can I disable the export of the dataelement names in the CSV export?

Hope you can help

Thanks,

Behavior Of Ssis Packages Running Under SSMS Manually Vs. Job Agent Automatically

Sep 5, 2007



I have a ssis package that has multiple large lookups without memory restriction. When running the package manually from SSMS on the same server it runs on when running automatically under the job agent, the package errors out when the server memory gets depleted by the loading of the large lookup reference data. One of the messages I get is
"An out-of-memory condition prevented the creation of the buffer object. "


Anyway, the package runs successfully when it runs automatically under the job agent.

I was curious as to why the above happens. Is that a bug or is the run time behavior different under these 2 environments by design.

SEEKING BASIC INFO ON SQLAgent - TSQL Jobstep Type Program_name(s)

May 16, 2008



I'm trying to ascertain how I can find out more about a particular job.

The information I have from a script I have to identify deadlock root causes gave me back this information:
spid 86 is blocking spid 51... spid 86 info: SQLAgent - TSQL JobStep (Job 0xBAD836E3D331B44BA4CCAC400D244B17 : Step 1)

Well, that's good to know, but I would like to be able to identify the particular job that 'owns' TSQL JobStep (Job 0xBAD836E3D331B44BA4CCAC400D244B17 : Step 1).

I've read the BOL on the sysjob type tables; and, while they tell me about the columns in the tables and what they are, they tell me absolutely nothing about how one goes about figureing out what I want to know.

I suspect one problem I have is that '0xBAD836E3D331B44BA4CCAC400D244B17' needs converting to something else and I have no idea how to go about doing this. I was never that good at converting hex (I assume that is what this is) when I was doing it rather often, which is years ago, so I really have no idea how to start.

Can anyone throw me a lifeline here?

Modifying Generated XSD File

Jan 18, 2006

Hello,

I am working with an .xml file that I want to break up into various tables. A couple of fields in my xml file include html tags (<p> tags specifically). The generated xsd file thinks these are nested xml tags and creates a "P" table for the information contained. Is there a way I can modify the generated xsd within the designer? Or is the only way to fix this is to manually modify the xsd?

There is also an <id> tag within the xml. However, SSIS is not using that <id> as the primary key as it adds data to the various tables that I've specified. Instead it appears to be creating its own primary key - calling it "Id". Is there some way to specify that SSIS use the <id> tag contained within the xml instead of creating its own primary key?

Thank you for any help.

Pad The Generated Flat File With 0

Jul 30, 2007

Hi Guys,

Related to my last questions on SSIS work i'm doing, Is there a way to pad 0 on my generated flat file dynamically.
I'm getting the data from 1 table and then generating the file. The file i need to generate would have data at the desired location as the file is being used by another system.
Depedning on the data I want to put the padding of "0" and "3" inc certain fields. How am i suppose to do it.
Apart from this I would need to megre 2 or more column and before the merge do an airthmatic operation.
What would be the best component to use script component or derived column?

SSIS Output On Sql Agent History

Jan 29, 2007

I have been using SSIS for about two months now and one of the main difficulties I have had is migrating Sql Agent SSIS jobs around environments.

Usually, the SSIS fails because of permissions to file systems, data bases, etc, but until now, I have had to discover these almost by guessing because the job history never game me any useful information. Also, from what I see, the SSIS logs have been unreliable, at best.

What I have done lately is creating Operating System (CmdExec) Steps as part of the job (not SSIS steps) and inserting the output of dtexec.exe into the history.

This seems to give me information that has been really hard to get, otherwise.

My question is (I am no DBA or ETL expert), is this the best way of getting the output of the package when debugging migration issues? Why doesn't the SSIS Steps have a similar feature of outputting useful info to the job history?

Missing Log Output Section For SSIS Packages In The SQL Agent Job Properties

May 6, 2008



Hi All,

I have a requirement of logging the failure and the error of a job executing a SSIS package to text file.
However, when I go to job step -> Advanced, in the section "SQL Server
Integration Services Package" where that info to setup logging is, it
is blank and just says:

"There are no options for this command type"

Any ideas?

I thought that this might not be supported in Standard Edition as I am running standard edition. Then I checked on two other servers, where I have Enterprise edition with SP2. On one of the installations, I am able to give the log file, the other one still shows,

"There are no options for this command type"

What is the problem? Both of them I am using the sysadmin role account. I have proxy account created on both the SQL instances. I don't think this is the problem, but still I checked this.

Can anybody help me?

Regards,
Virendra

Log File With Header Row Only.

Aug 16, 2007

I have a parent a package which contains a bunch of Execute Package tasks. The parent package sets a variable which contains the directory for writing logs to. Each child is configured to write logs to a text file, and uses a connection manager for doing so. The connection manager uses an expression for setting the connection string, and in this expression the log directory varaible is used (e.g. @[User::LogDir] + "\FileName.log").

Now the problem is this, when I run the ETL, I'm getting 2 set of log files for each package: one log file is created in C: and the other in the correct dirctory. Each log in C: just contains a single header row, and the corresponding log file in the logging dir contains the log data (including the header row). Even though the filename is specified in an expression, a value for the connection string appears in the properties for the connection manager ("Filename" which probably where the C: log files are coming from). I can't seem to remove this value, and I don't want to hard-code it to a fixed path. I've also set DelayValidation to True, with no luck. I feel I must be missing something obvious, any suggestions? Thanks!
