WMI Event Watcher Task Continual Firing Event When Not Triggered
Apr 8, 2008
I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file.
The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30
WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile'
AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message.
However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?
i would like to know how i can retrieve the file path+name of a file detected by the WMI Event Watcher task, so that I can assign this to a variable for an Import task
I want to watch a directory 24 hours a day to launch SSIS packages as files arrive. There are several options I have found to accomplish this:
Use the WMI Event Watcher task in SSIS to launch the packages as files arrive. Leave the package with the WMI Event Watcher task running all day long everyday Create a Windows service that uses WMI to detect file arrival and launch packages Schedule SQL Server Agent to run the package when a WMI event is raised
What is the best practice? Are there better approaches that I have not listed?
I am using this task as the first task in my control flow.I want to check if a particular file exists in the particular location.IF exisists run the package else no.
I have an SSIS Package to get the data from an Excel Source. For that I am using WMI Event Watcher to find when the file drops into a specific folder. It is working fine when I check any folders in the local machine.
We have a separate WebServer and Database Server for our application. The application is deployed in the Web server and the SSIS package is deployed in the Database server.
Since the files are dropped through application, it is dropped in the Webserver. I have mapped that drive in my Database Server and I am trying to link that folder in the SSIS package, but the event is not firing.
Please provide me some solution for this and revert for any clarifications.
I am using a WMI Event Watcher task to watch for files dropped into a directory over a network drive.
It seems to work fine when it is pointed to a physical drive name, but not when I use a machine name.
I.e.
This works - SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "CIM_DirectoryContainsFile" and TargetInstance.GroupComponent= "Win32_Directory.Name="C:\\temp\\folder1\\folder2\folder3""
This fails - SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "CIM_DirectoryContainsFile" and TargetInstance.GroupComponent= "Win32_Directory.Name=\\\\machineName\\folder1\\folder2\\folder3"
The failing code does not throw any errors (i.e. SSIS thinks the WQL syntax is correct), but it doesn't pick up any dropped files.
Am I doing something incorrect with the syntax, or must I use a physically mapped drive letter?
In my SSIS package (which was created programatically) when I try to log details in OnInformation event I get all the entries twice. One with the source name as the taskhost.name property and another with a guid. I'm not able to figure out which component raises the event. Infact for all the events the sourcename comes as GUID.
So I thought I'll override the events by inheriting IDTSEvents or DefaultEvents, But I'm not sure how to proceed further so that I can pass the sourcename properly instead of GUID.
Hi All - I've got a simple gridview/sqldatasource page, but the sqldatasource_onSelected event isn't firing. heres the parameters <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="LicenceID" QueryStringField="LicenceID" Type="string" /> <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="SiteID" QueryStringField="SamplingSiteID" Type="string" /> </SelectParameters>
either or both parameters may be null (ie. not in querystring ) . If only one of the selectparameters is null, and I remove it, the event fires!!! The parameters in the stored proc are optional(ie. default = NULL) and it works fine if I test it in SQL . Whats going on? If there's some error happening, why no error raised? if there are no records returned, the onselected event should still fire shouldn't it? Geoff
Using Sql server 2005, SQLdatasource, I need to display total rows count. But the selected event is not fired? Am I mssing something or doing something wrong? Please comment. thanks Code<asp:SqlDataSource ID="DataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:AuditToolConnection%>" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient"SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" SelectCommand="usp_Dashboard_GetAll" > -------------------------------- public in recordCount = 0;protected void DataSource1_Selected(object sender, SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs e) { recordCount = e.AffectedRows; lblCount.Text += recordCount.ToString(); }
Hi, I have a SqlDataSource whose select statement uses parameters from the selected row on a gridview on the page. So when a row is selected in the gridview, I want the SqlDataSource to do a select using the new parameters, and then I want to inspect the number of rows returned. If 0, I want to set a FormView to insert mode, if >0 I want to set the FormView to edit mode. The "SqlDataSource2_Selected" sub never fires, so I cannot retrieve the number of rows returned. How can I deal with this? I would like the SqlDataSource to execute a Select each time the Gridview selected row changes. What could prevent "OnSelected" from firing? I do have "OnSelected="SqlDataSource2_Selected" within the SqlDataSource tag. Thanks in advance for any help with this.
I have an SSIS package that contains a For Each Loop Container. I have three Data Flow tasks within the container. I have an OnError event handler associated with the encapsulating container. When one of the Data Flow tasks within the For Each Loop Container fails, the OnError for the Loop Container gets called 5 times. The OnError handler is just a script task that sends a notification email. I am not explicitly Dts.taskresult = failure, nor am I calling FireError.
I have a package on which i've applied a package level OnError event handler. The OnError event handler includes a Script Task (that builds up a string of errorCode, errorDescription, MachineName etc...) and a WebService Task that calls a webservice to send an email including the built up string from the script task in the body of the email. This has worked fine in one package where i've applied it but for some reason in a second package the existence of an OnError package level event handler seems to be completed ignored. I'm causing various package object to fail but the OnError handler never fires. I know the obvious answer is find what's different between the two packages but i can't see that any is different (in relation to package level OnError event handling).
Has anyone else come across this? Any suggestions?
I have created an OnError Event Handler to catch an error in the Execute SQL Task in the Control Flow. On error I am simply inserting a few parameters in a DB table using Execute SQL Task. I followed the instructions in: [URL]....
Now when I run this error hanlder task manually it runs fine but when I purposely fail the SQL Task it never fires the error handler. I am not sure why. I checked the DisableEventHandler property and it is set to False.
I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.
My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-
Date 10/25/2011 10:55:46 AM Log SQL Server (Current - 10/25/2011 10:55:00 AM) Source spid Message Event Tracing for Windows failed to send an event. Send failures with the same error code may not be reported in the future. Error ID: 0, Event class ID: 54, Cause: (null).
Is there a way I can trace it how it is coming? When I check input buffer for these ids, it looks like it is tracing everything. All the general application DMLs are coming in these spids.
Server 2003 SE SP1 5.2.3790 Sql Server 2000, SP 4, 8.00.2187 (latest hotfix rollup) We fixed one issue, but it brought up another. the fix we applied stopped the ServicesActive access failure, but now we have a failure on MSSEARCH. The users this is affecting do NOT have admin rights on the machine, they are SQL developers. We were having

We recently upgraded to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have most of our issues ironed out however about every 1 minute there is a message in the Application Event log and the SQL log that states:
EVENT ID 18456 Login Failed for the users DOMAIN/ACCOUNT [CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is a state 16 message which I thought meant that the account does not have access to the default database. The account is actually the account that the SQL services run under.
Any ideas? We can't seem to figure this one out. We actually upgraded to 2005 from 2000 and had an error appear after every reboot that prevented the SQL Agent from running(This application has failed to start because GAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.) We did a full uninstall of SQL and reinstalled fresh and restored the databases from .bak files and that is when the EVENT ID 18546 started occuring every minute.
We don't have any SQL heavy hitters here so please be detailed with any possible solutions. That you very much for any help you can provide!
We have a package that runs on 3 servers, all based in different countries and time zones. Each package does logging to a common SQL Server based in New York. (We log to the same server to make monitoring of the package run results easier.) We expect that our overseas servers will occassionally fail to make a database connection and have coded a Try/Catch block in our Script task to ignore errors that occur when attempting the SQL Server logging.
The problem is that the OnError event handler defined at the package level is being called whenever a server fails to make a database connection. The Catch block appears to not be called at all. I've included below the short method that does the SQL Server logging. The "Dts.Log" line logs to a SQL Server and usually works. However, when it fails, the "WriteEventLogEntry" method is supposed to be called to write an error to the server's event log. (I haven't included the "WriteEventLogEntry" code but it works fine when called elsewhere in the package to do our non-error event logging.)
Public Sub WriteSqlServerLogEntry(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal dataCode As Integer, ByVal dataBytes() As Byte, ByVal rowsInserted As Integer)
Try
Dts.Log(logMessage, dataCode, dataBytes)
Catch ex As Exception
WriteEventLogEntry("An exception was thrown while attempting to log the following message to the SQL Server provider: " + logMessage, EventLogEntryType.Error, rowsInserted)
End Try
End Sub
Shouldn't a Catch block prevent the OnError event from being raised? How can I change my package to ignore all errors that occur when attempting SQL Server logging?
Hi All, I need to send out email when error occurs in the package. Is it a good practice to put the send email task in the event handler? Then MaximumErrorCount is set to 1. But for some reason, some time I saw more than one email are sent out. Please advise. Thanks
HI, I need to trigger some packages upon existance of specific files in a particular directory. Sound lkike the file watcher task (from SQLIS) would do the job but I am wondering what is the difference of using this tool instead of a for each loop container. I mean, If a file exists in a directory, the for each loop container will detect it. Since the file watcher is not a service, the package containing it needs to ne scheduled on a regular basis for the filewatcher to detect the file, right? So, a for each loop container would do the job? So, waht wouldbe the advantage of using the file watcher task?
Installed File watcher task, then created a new SSIS package by adding the file watcher task in the control flow, below are my setting's inside the file watcher task editor: 2. Options Filter - *.* Find Existing Files - True Timeout warning - False 3. Path Path input type: Direct imput Path - \server1Sourcefolder Include subdirectories - False Actually my understanding about this task is: This file watcher task will constantly check for the file and then will execute the SSIS package. If my understanding is correct, then where do we specify the name of the SSIS package?? And also do we need this SSIS package which has the File watcher task to run every 5 minutes or so, so that it can keep checking for the file existence. Please help, thanks!!
In the file watcher task in the filter section does it look for exsiting file name which we have mentioned or is it possible to give first few letters of the file name like pat*.txt
I would like this task to watch for a particular text file in the particular folder.

I have a Send Mail task as part of a validation process in a OnPostExecute event handler. All tasks preceding the Send Mail task get triggered and show green check mark next to them, but, for some reason, Send Mail task never gets one.
I checked the Execution Results tab and it doesn't show any indication of Send Mail task executing as a final step.
I checked the SMTP server configuration and did some test using localhost. I'm able to send as configured while using anonymous credentials.
I have multiple task flows with precedence constraints and i have changed the constraint as completion to execute the package even though there is failure in one of the tasks in the package but every time the send mail success is executed instead of Send mail Failure task.
I have a problem in which I want the run an SSIS based on a file being dropped in a directory. I've tried the WMI event watcher as well as the File Task Watcher component. The problem that I'm seeing is that if the process is currently processing in the pipeline while another file dropped, the newly dropped file doesn't get picked up. Is there a way to create a FileWatcher Task in SSIS which will spawn a SSIS job and return immediately for watching files?
Following are the two events frequently observed in the system event error log has any body come across these errors
1.The description for Event ID ( 318 ) in Source ( SQLServerAgent$XYZ ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s):
2.he Open Procedure for service "MSSQLServer" in DLL "SQLCTR70.DLL" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0.
