Hi
Microsoft confirmed that the error message "The command line parameters are invalid" issue mentioned above is a bug and has been resolved in the next "drop" of SQL Server 2005.
has this error been fixed by microsoft. Cos i still get this error!!!!!!!!!
I am also trying to run the package from command line and when i click on execute the package it runs half way and hangs. What could be the problem????.
But when i run it from my Studio and stored package it works fine!!!
I have a package that let me to import data from a excel book to a Sql server data base. When I try to run this package like a step into a SQL server Job it show me the next error.
"The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed."
the "command line" looks like this
/FILE "C:ProjectPackage.dtsx" /CONNECTION ConexionExcel;"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Da ta Source=;Extended Properties=""EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"";" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI and in my excel conexion is:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; When i run the "Command Line" in the "Command window" the error is more expecific
"EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES;" is not valid So I chanded the "Command Line" in order to run it in de command window(look the double quote in the excel properties)
/FILE "C:ProjectPackage.dtsx" /CONNECTION ConexionExcel;"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Da ta Source=;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI then the package RUN, but when i tried to do the same thing in the sql wizzard, it just dont work and it lost the threat from de package and the errors says this time:

Some one who knows the answer or has any idea to helpme please?
I created a SSIS package that has a flat file manager whose connection string is a package variable, the reason is that there is a foreachfile container loop to loop thru CSV format files in a directory and load them to a sql table.
The package execution is working in the designer studio as well as in the management studio-- a copy was saved to a sql 2005 server where a sql job is deployed to run the package. However when I ran the job, it claims successful but doesn€™t do anything in reality. If I checked the box failing the package upon validation warming, the job will fail with the error: the command line parameters are invalid. The command line looks like below:
One thing that I think maybe wrong is on the data source tab of the job step GUI, the flat file manager€™s connection string is blank, compared to other connection managers having related values.
I have a Sql agent job which will exeute a SSIS package. While, one of my data sources is an excel file. I scriptted the sql agent job and recreate on a test server, it fails with The command line parameters are invalid.. The command line has the following for the excel data source, and that is the place fails the job. /CONNECTION UserDataExcel;"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\myserverUserDataUserData.xls;Extended Properties=""EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"";" I guess it has something to do with the double-quote inside, Please advise.
I created a SSIS package to import an excel spreadsheet into my data warehouse. When I run the package it runs fine. When I created a SQL Job to run the package I get the following error:
Option "Source=D:HelpDeskImportBook2.xls;Extended" is not valid. The command line parameters are invalid.
Now if I look at my source connection string in the job it looks like the following:
What is the correct command line parameters to SQLEXPR32.exe that will default the Log On As: properties for the instance to use the Built-in account of Local System & Local Service?
I need it to be set to Local System immediately on install without having to go into the configuration manager. When I run the SQLEXPR32.exe right now I get the Network Service defaulted.
I have a dts package I am trying to schedule. I create a new job under SQL Server Agent. On the Command line tab of the jobstep, I choose "Edit the command-line manually".
The changes are retained as I switch from tab to tab within the job step but whenever I exit and save the job, the changes are lost.
I'm trying to run have SQL Server Agent excute an SSIS package from the command line and I keep recieving an error message. I will assume that I have miss typed something. Can someone validate that the execute line looks workable?
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard and upgrade from Express edition. The Edition Change check tells me I must run the setup from the command prompt "and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter", but I don't know how to enter this from the command line.
I've tried "D:setup SKUUPGRADE=1" and "D:setup -SKUUPGRADE=1", as well as "D:setup.exe /SKUUPGRADE=1" without success.
Can anyone give me a clue as to where I'm going wrong?

I want to import a huge .csv file in my sql server database.
There are about 10000 rows and 30 columns
My file looks like this: Attributname1; Attributname2; Attributname3; ... data; data; data;... data; data; data;... data; data; data;...
Now my idea is to do this on the command line/batch script. I have found different ways to do this job but the problem is i have to create a table in the database first. The entries in the first line of the csv file are the attribute names.
After creating the table with attributes i must write the data in the database.
Hello,I would like to know whether it is possible to execute DTS(Data Transformation Services) packages created from withinthe EM (Enterprise Manager) user interface, from the commandline. That is, is it possible to execute a command at the DOSprompt which will execute, and optionally also reconfigure,the DTS package? This would allow invoking DTS packagesfrom within scripts.Thank you for your replies,Neil
Hello All... I am new to this forum (and new to SQL for that matter), so I hope this isn't a stupid question. I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find it here. I am trying to start & stop SQL server through the command line so I can start & stop it as a scheduled task. Are there any switches for sqlmangr.exe I can use? Maybe another way?
I tried to install SQL Server 2008 Native Client and I am not able to run the SQL script using command Line. I am getting an error "SQL type is not recognized..." So My questions is here.. is there any special package is there to run Command Line Utility without installing any SQL Client?
As a Sys Admin, I was wondering - if I have admin rights to a Win2k machinethat is hosting SQL Server 2000, do I have the ability using anycommand-line tools such as OSQL or ISQL to add, delete, or change accountsregistered in SQL Server for the various databases if I don't have access toa specific account within SQL Server?I ask, because the question that came up was - what if we have a DBA leaveunder less than amicable circumstances? Could I, someone who has adminrights on the machine, be able to log into that machine remotely and somehowvia command line (I don't maintain active SQL clients centrally), change theSA password, remove an account, and/or add an account with sysadmin rights,etc?Thanks in advance for any help -
I am running a SSIS package through a SQL 2005 job. The package has encrypted data used to access a FTP account. I changed the package's security protection level to "EncryptSensitiveWithPassword." I also added a password to the package. I then tried to add the password to the jobs command line, and it still failed. Does anyone have a suggestion? I think I may have built the command line wrong. Can I get an example?

I need to verify a csv file exists before I call a stored procedure to complete a bulk insert. The first step in the SP will be to verify the file exists (that particular "Job" step did not fail). I have only one step in the job that I have set the type as "Operating System (CmdExec)" and the Command is "Dir C:NAFCDMDataShipmentsCooperShipments.csv". When I execute the job manually to verify the proper operation I receive the error listed below. I know the path and file name are correct as I originally typed in the UNC, when it failed I copied it from the Address bar. I attempted to move the file to the root location without success. I attempted to use another file. I have attempted to rename the file. The DBAs will not allow me to use the SP_cmdshell stored procedure (that was my first thought).
I added 'Everyone' with Full Access to the root folder and propagated these permissions to all containing folders. This again did not allow the job to run. I changed the statment to "REN C:NAFCDMShipmentsShipment.csv Shipment1.csv". I continue to get the same error. Can someone Please point me in a direction to fix this problem?
"The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x71D51027F920A140A2913234DB7FF509
(reason: The system cannot find the file specified). The step failed.
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (Verify the File's Existance)."
Our application installation setup needs to be able to detect:
Is SQL Server 2005 Express Installed?
If false, run the SP2 Installation Is SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Express SP1 Installed?
If false, run the SP2 Installation with Update Switch Is SQL Server 2005 (not Express) Installed
If true, abort installation with a mesage.
Can you direct me to some documentation about testing for these environments or just if someone has some scripts that will run in InstallShield, that would be great.
ALSO, can you direct me to information about using the command line update switch for the Express SP2 Installer?
It installs the SQL Server and Reporting Services. It configures (creates Virtual Directories for report server and database) but it is not initializing the Report Server.
Having done the installation when i check the Report Server Status it was running and everything seems to be OK except it wasn't initialized.
Everything goes on fine until the SQL Server Database Sersvices configuring and a pop-up says the following:
SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account.
I have no idea how to come over this. Any help would be appreciated.
PS I don't know what AGTACCOUNT or AGTPASSWORD is, so maybe the error might be there. If not, anybody willing to explain to me what it is, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
