I have an XML Task to validate an xml document on disk (size: 78,464K). When I try to validate it I get error:
[XML Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.".
Task Manager shows 904,492K Physical Memory Available which drops to about 586,000K when the task fails. Any ideas?
I am trying to undertstand how does sql 2005 decide how to use the memory.
Does it use RAM first than the virtual memory or does it decide what to use conditionaly?
Anybody have an idea? Like if the table is really big does it put half
of the table to RAM and the other half to virtual memory ?
We are hitting a crippling 701 "insufficient System Memory" error intermittently in out production environment. I haven’t gotten anywhere with PSS in two weeks. The error has occurred 4 times over the past two weeks, crippling our SQL server and application each time. When the error occurs it lasts for 5 to 20 minutes, causing the app to time out, refusing new connections, and a massive slow-down of anything that is running. SQL has recovered on its own two of these times. It recovered following a Kill of hundreds of threads reporting “SEMAPHORE WAIT�. The most recent occurrence nailed all 16 processors at 100%. We were forced to issue shutdown with nowait. I have been monitoring Perfmon very closely; there are no symptoms that precede the error. Each occurrence captures a different query. Any of the queries, when run from Management Studio, complete in under a second. DBCC MEMORY STATUS reports all memory as being in an unstressed state. The first time the error occurred there were 10 GB still available on the server.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or anything similar? We don’t use linked servers or table valued functions (there are known memory bugs related to each of these items)
The following server and configuration has been running in production for 6 weeks with no issues:
.SQL 2005 EE SP1 Post SP1 Hotfix kb918222
.Win 2003 SP1 (dedicated box)
.Quad Dual Core 3GHz
.32 GB memory
.AWE enabled
.No memory related flags in boot.ini
."Lock Pages in memory" set for SQL Startup account
.1 Instance (default)
.1,994 OLTP databases avg less than 100MB each
.1,200 active user threads on average (from connection pool of avg 4,000 concurent users)
Any comments would be appraciated
Just wondering if anyone else has seen any memory issues with cross instance communication. Just this last week we moved from single instance to cross instance communication. I started up a process that will move 3,000,000 messages through service broker, but after a couple of hours the server tanks out and we get insufficient system memory errors in the sql error log. If no one else has seen or experienced this then I'll probably get a ticket opened to see what it may be. It's just that the change in our service broker network was the only change I was aware of on this instance.

Help,
Getting this error msg when running a bulk insert.
Bulk insert was working fine before and all of a sudden getting this.
Any Ideas?

Is there any setting in IS that I should have adjusted in order to avoid this message?

Hi,
I have started experiencing the following errors
"Unable to allocate memory for a hash node heap"
"The system reports 99 percent memory load. There are 8584744960 bytes of physical memory
with 5799936 bytes free. There are 8796092891136 bytes of virtual memory with 8794956038144 bytes free.
The paging file has 7447801856 bytes with 5201920 bytes free."
The packages running have been running for the last year with no issues. Admintidley they were the only jobs running against the Instance.
I have now introduced additional databases and packages.
The package do not over lap when they run so there is currently no contention for resource.
I have no idea where to start looking to identify the culprit.
I have observed the available pagefile being completely consumed and physical memory. The only way I can get it released si by bouncing the instance.
the only thing that has changed is pagefile. The system has 8GB RAM and was configured with a 4GB pagefile. I have recently created a second pagefile on
an alternative disk of 12GB and reduced the 4GB pagefile to 100MB and left it on the root drive. When I view the pagefile size in properties, it says that there
is only 100MB even though it creates a 12GB pagefile.
Can anyone shed some light on my problem?
I appreciate your help

We're experiencing the following problem on our servers:
Server: Msg 701, Level 17, State 1, Line 3
There is insufficient system memory to run this query.
I've been able to fix the problem by a)Lowering the Max Server Memory and b)Minimum Query Memory.
However, Microsoft state there is a hot fix available for this issue at in KB Article 817262 (
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817262&Product=sql2k).
Any idea how one is supposed to contact Microsoft to get this fix without paying?
Thanks,

Hello,
We receive this error after running a complex query. Could someone please shed some light on what this means exactly?
One of our developer said we needed to purchase a server with more memory, but would SQL Server not simply just run slower by using virtual memory instead of physical RAM?
I know there is a limit and servers must be upgraded as the processing requirements increase, due to data set size increases for example, but we have just been told to "purchase more power because after a while as you process more rows, SQL Server will require more resources"
Any comments on this would be really appreciated.
Is there an possibility to assign confined system memory to mssql2005 ? Because some other programes needs system memory too.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a sanity check. Service broker and Event Notifications are new to me, so it is possible I'm either abusing or incorrectly using the technology. I'm experimenting with using Event Notifications and Server Broker to log error messages. The process works pretty well as long as I don't do something stupid such as stressing the process by calling raiserror in a loop of a 100000 - twice. It processed for a while, but eventual either SQL Server terminates (sev 25) or I had to force the SQL service to stop by killing it's process via task manager. I could not connect to SQL Server or stop the service normally.
I have several general questions. I think they are good questions. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
1) I'm looking into generating deadlock and blocking email alerts. It appears that Event Notification is the way to go since there are very few events and I can respond to the event with an email. Is there a better method to automate blocking and deadlock email alerts that include event details?
2) If I wanted to retain some history of errors for the developers, should Event Notifications be avoided if a high number of errors can be generated by a badly formed T-SQL? Avoid TRC_ERRORS_AND_WARNINGS and USER_ERROR_MESSAGE? (I could tell the developers not to be stupid, but why would that stop them if it does not stop me?)
3) Is there a way to efficiently filter a Event Notification from entering the queue before the Receive statement is called? I get some events that I throw away after receiving them. For example, perhaps I want all events from all non-system databases without having to add a notification for each single non-system database. Or I want all errors with severity 11-17 only?
4) Is there a trick to filter out events from the procedure activated by the event. I tried using raiserror to debug a procedure without thinking. The result was that the queue never was empty because the processing produced more events to process. As a result, I don't use raiserror and use a try-catch to avoid raising errors in the procedure activated.
5) I can receive one message at a time using local variables or receive a batch of messages using a local table. Is a small batch the best way even if there is memory pressure?
6) In the activated procedure I continue processing in a loop until there are no more messages. This seems to be the most efficient. Is this always the case? Should I exit the procedure after a set number (large) of messages have been received? The procedure would activate again to continue processing?
7) Is there any point to using the MAX_QUEUE_READERS setting when processing event notifications? Should it be 1?
8) I currently get the next conversation group id and process its messages within a transaction. Is this a bad idea with event notifications? Should I just call Receive and get the next batch? I don't really care if I lose some messages if things are going badly. Should I avoid wrapping the receive in a transaction?
9) I could run a trace that starts with SQL Server; however, I think my only choice is to log to a file. Is there a way to trace to a table using SQLTrace without running profiler? I would like to automate the process and have the data in a table so that it can be easily queried and parsed for each database/team.
10) Is there a way to fix my process and handle 100000 messages a minute? Is there a way to skip messages when it gets to busy? Can the query generating the messages get throttled - perhaps along with the query designer - before the server gets into trouble? Query the memory used by a queue and drop/create the queue with a delay if there is an issue?
I'm using a single CPU test machine with only 1 GB and 2 GB pagefile and a single disk. OS: Windows 2003 R2 SP2. SQL: 9.0.3054 and on 9.0.3228 (update package 6 just came out today). I could add memory, but I think that would just permit me to queue more message before running into trouble.
I'll add code shortly - length limit.
I have a SQL Server 2000/E with 8 GB RAM in the machine.
It is configured to use fixed memory size, at 7GB, and all the appropriate OS switches are set to use that.
Everything had been working fine, but we've been having some production problems and while looking into it, I looked at task manager and while the server performance tab shows that the server is using 7+ GB, the processes tab shows sqlservr.exe at 107,724 K.
Do you think this is a real issue, and that the server might only be using 100 mb of ram? Does anyone have any larger servers like this that they could compare?
Thanks

I am a newbie on SQL server and my problem is this:
My SQL server runs with many client queries and after a while I can observe that the meory usage of the SQL server shown in the Windows Task Manager is growing up (e.g. 260 MB !!!).
I checked the online books and found the settings "min/max server memory" which I set to
min = 4 MB
max = 20 MB
by Enterprise manager.
Then I restarted my SQL server, checked the memory settings again by Enterprise manager and started many client queries. The memory usage in Task Manager nevertheless exeeded the 20 MB.
What is my failure? How can I limit the memory usage of SQL server?
Thank you very much for any help...
I am trying to use a DTS package to get data from db2 in a s390 environment. I am able to use the Import task and then run a query on db2, save the package and execute the package.But when i try edit the transform task i get a mmc.ese application error...it says that the instruction at addres "" tries referencing memory at address "". The memory could not be read...
I installed a ibm odbc driver on my client...obviously the connection seem to work since the package executes...But then the edit issue...

Hi..
I'm running a package that has a XML Task in the control flow. This task tranforms a XML file with a XSLT.
The file is about 2 megs on a daily basis, but at the end of the month there is a full dump of data that makes the file to be around 400 megs. There is where my problem is.
I run this on my 2 GB memory workstation and when the memory gauge on the task manager reaches about 1.5gb the package fails with an "Out of memory exception".
I also run this package on a 8GB Ram server, and same applies.
Is there any way of making this package utilize all the available memory, I even increased the virtual memory to see if that helped my issue, but nothing.
Thanks

I would need to make a SSIS package which must to watch all the day long if a file come and then save into a variable that path+file.
FileWatcher task do that for me or better totally focusing this requirement in a conventional .NET Script using IO classes and all that sort of stuff???
I'm just learning 2005, so apologies in advance for the newb questions.
I am facing the following situation: Each day I have to upload an assortment of .csv files with variable names (eg. FileOneYYYYMMDD.csv, FileTwoYYYYMMDD.csv, etc.) to an FTP site, from the following directory structure:
Directory1
--- SubDirectoryA
--- SubDirectoryB
--- SubDirectoryC
I have accomplished this by setting up a package with three sequence containers (one for each subdirectory), each of which holds a Foreach loop (with a file enumerator configured as *.csv), each of which holds an FTP Task. This may not be the best way to do it, but it works. But if there's a better way I'd like to know!
Anyway, the wall I've run into is trying to move the .csv files to an archive directory after they've been uploaded. The wildcard variable doesn't seem to work with the File System Task, so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to move a bunch of variably named .csv files at different depths of a directory structure to an archive directory.
I've searched but can't seem to find a solution.
Hi,
I've SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition and Windows Server 2003 ENT SP2.
in the task manager i see that the server use 5GB out of 6GB,but when i arrange the process to see whom takes all the memory i see that the sqlservr.exe takes 150MB(he is the biggest).
when i open Perfmon and look on the sqlservr.exe memory use, i see that he takes the 4.5G.
i've a problem that the server use alot of cpu time to run users queries,i see that pages/sec counter is very big average between 600-800.
is there any problem with my memory?
why the memory reading from the task manager is wrong?
if my pages/sec counter is so big do i have a memory leaks + pressure?

I need to move files from one location to another location and rename the file using File System Task in SSIS..
There are curent file and archived files in the folder ( C:donwload)
and i need to grap only current file ( i.e Zipcode062407) and move to C:staging folder and rename it to currentzipcode.txt
how can i grap only current file and move it to the different folder and rename the file using File System Task in SSIS?
Is there a more clever way of doing this?
Currently I have to download a .gz file, uncompress and place it on a share with the current day's name (YYYYMMDD.txt).
This is how I'm doing this:
1 - FTP Task Manager to download file using expressions.
2 - Unzip file using a .bat file (Using 7zip). The uncompressed version of the file looks something like deedyyyy-mmddXXXXX.txt, where XXXXX is a bunch of numbers and letters that always changes, file version stamp from the vendor.
3 - Since I never know how the file is going to be called when I unzip it, I have to kick off another bat file to rename deedyyyy-mmddXXXXX.txt (*.txt) to 1.txt, then rename 1.txt to YYYYMMDD.txt, which is what I need for my ETL process.
4 - Archive zip file to another share
5 -Move YYYYMMDD.txt to another folder, so the ETL process can use it.
Basically, I'm not 100% sure about step 3, I'm renaming the files too many times and relying on bat files to do the job.
How would you guys handle such scenario? I'm not being able to use wildcards on File System Task.
I'm trying to realize a file system task that rename files from a
foreach loop container. So that means the task have a variable in the
source connection. This variable got the value (as an expression) of
"c:\.....\"+@[User::ForeachloopVar].
But an error message appears when i run it.The message is
File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message:
"The given path's format is not supported."
When i don´t use the variable in the source connection it works fine.
Anyone knows what might be the problem?
Thanks.
I am using file system task for deletion of text file from a specified folder.
but i want that one text file with name ="ssis.txt" and "ssrs.txt "should not get delete.
Is there any option or any expression that we can set and avoide the deletion of ssis.txt and ssrs.txt and still delete all the remaining all text file from a folder.
Please suggest any method or expression by example.
I'm having an issue with a file system task & I'm not sure whether it is user error on my part or a bug. I'm using a SQL Task to create a transaction log backup & I'm saving the name of the file in a result set which I then am mapping to a package level user variable. After that runs I'm trying to copy this .BAK file to another folder using the file system task. I'm setting the following properties on the file system task.
Isdestinationpathvariable: False
Then I have entered the static directory for the file move.
Operation: Tried it with both copy file & move file.
Issourcepathvariable: True
Sourceconnection: User::File_name
After setting this I immediately get a validation warning telling me the source directory cannot be empty. If I try to run it, it fails. The weird thing is that if I set up a connection manager to a flat file & pass my user variable in as the connection string to this connection. Then set the Issourcepathvariable to false & the Sourceconnection to this connection manager it works.
I also have gotten it to work by substituting an ftp task in place of the file system task. The ftp task has no problem when I set the Islocalpathvariable to true & then pass my variable to Localvariable property. This is why I believe there is some sort of issue with the file system task. Has anyone seen this before? Is there some sort of problem with the way I'm setting it up?
Thank you
Hello,
I am currently just starting to learn SSIS and I have a question on creating a directory using the File System Task.
Would I be able to create a directory where the directory name is generated and stored in a SSIS variable?
Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance for the assistance.

Hi,
I am using the 'File System Task ' to create a directory structure (e.g ..DB; ..DBLOG; ..DBBACKUP; )
I set following properties for the single tasks: UseDirectoryIfExists = True; Operation = Create Directory;
The task works fine before installing SP1 on the server. Now it creates an ERROR if the directory already exists and it is not empty.
SSIS package "testcreatedirectory.dtsx" starting.

Hi,
I am trying to transfer all the data from Excel to SQL Server using the Script Task (since I got some issue with the Data Flow -- that is a different story, let us come to this error), and after it got transferred I am deleting the source file using File System Task.
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file 'C:PrakashTestFilesNames.xls' because it is being used by another process."
The problem here is before transfer the data from Excel to SQL Server in the Script Task, the File System Task is getting executed, that is why it says that "it is being used by another process" like that.
I already set the TransactionOption as "Success" only for all the Tasks, but I don't know why the second task is getting executed before the first task completed his job.
If anyone have solution to this, pls let me know in detail ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Prakash Srinivasan
Wanting to use File System Task in SSIS to move files from
one location to another for archiving. I can't seem to figure out how to use a
wild card for the file name. It seems that I must specify the actual file name
which is a problem because only the first 4 letters in the file name remain a
constant.
Does anyone know how to use a wild card or a way to work
this in?
Hello,
I've been searching here and in Google, but haven't been able to find a good example of using the File System Task to copy files. I've seen Rafael Salas' blog http://rafael-salas.blogspot.com/2007/03/ssis-file-system-task-move-and-rename.html but that was moving and renaming.
What I want to do is copy a single file multiple times. Each time I copy the file and paste it, I will give the new file the name from the recordset that I have passed to it.
I used the Expressions to place the destination path and filename in a variable, but I am getting an "DestinationPath is not valid on Operation Type CopyFile".
An help/examples of how to do this would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi SSIS-fellows!
I am stuch at a problem that sould be very simply but it is not. At least for me
Here is the initial state:
Working folder: E:123DTS and E:DTSArchive
files: akarmi.zip, akarmi2.zip (there are one-one mdb files inside)
What I want to do with the package:
a) unzip the first file (there is an unzip.exe for this task)
b) rename the unzipped mdb (its name can be anything) to default.mdb
c) use the mdb with another package (that is not yet designed so I haven't added this one)
d) delete the default.mdb
e) move the first zip file into E:123DTSArchive
f) do a-e with all other zip files in the folder (so only once more in this case)
What I did:
1) I created a foreachloop container to do these with all the zip files, I correctly configured the enumerator to *.zip and created a user::zip_files variable
2) put an unzip ExecuteProcessTask. Its argument was the user::zip_files variable (this worked great)
3) I created another foreachloop container because I don't know how to rename the only existing mdb file in the folder (I wasn't able to use wildcards here)
3.1) this time the enumerator was *.mdb and the variable was user::mdb_files
3.2) I put a file system task into the container to rename that mdb file to default.mdb. I used variables for source and destination, too. Source variable (SourceRename) was an expression made of WorkingFolder variable (that was E:123DTS) +
user::mdb_files. This supposed to work but didn't When I put the exact name of the mdb instead of the user::mdb_files variable it worked without any problem.
4) another 2 file sytem tasks to move the original zip file into the E:DTSArchive folder and to delete the default.mdb file
5) end of the loop
I had problems with task 3) I even tried to make it run separately but without success
I would think that the solution is very simple. I would be grateful even if someone just send or upload me a package that renames every mdb file in a directory into default.mdb (it might sound stupid but if there is only 1 mdb that's okay and since this container is inside another the other default mdb files can be overwritten after using them in another package).
I've uploaded my packages with the files here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/mrd2jh
I was dealing with this one all day (with some interruptions) and I can't believe it can't be done.
Thanks in advance,

Hello all-
I am currently trying to deploy a production package to our servers and am seeing some very strange behavior. I am attempting to use a File System Task inside a Foreach Loop Container that renames (i.e. moves) a file from a processing location, appends a date, and places it in a different directory. The source file is coming from a connection manager whose file name is generated dynamically. The destination file is coming from a variable that is set in the foreach as a preceding task. I experience two different behaviors for the File System task depending on where/how I run the package...
Inside the VS solution on the server & from the SSIS MSDB store on the server
The package behaves as intended. The file is correctly processed then renamed/moved to the correct location.
From the SSIS MSDB store on my local machine
The file is correctly processed, however strange behavior occurs in the renaming task. The informational message in the execution window says that it deleted the newly renamed file (the same message displayed in the VS solution results). Upon checking the file system, the file is neither in the source directory nor in the destination.
Does anyone have some insight as to why these might be behaving differently? My only guess is that it's some sort of file system permission (even though I have domain credentials for a local admin on the server), but I can't imagine why it would allow me to delete the file and not rename it... Though finding the source of the problem would be nice, my biggest question is whether or not the package will behave correctly if I setup a schedule for it.
