I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of any sample code or documentation that allows you to execute SSIS packages from within a Script task?
In SQL Server 2000 DTS this was accomplished by instantiating the DTS.Package object and calling either the LoadFromSQLServer or LoadFromStorageFile method.
I have not been able to find any similiar logic in the SQL Server 2005 SSIS environment.
I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
I would like to call an SSIS package from a Service Broker Queue.
There is one way that I am aware of -
Using xp_cmdshell from within an activation stored procedure and using DTEXEC.
Is there a more elegant way of executing an SSIS package from within SSB?
Also, I am not interested in writing a .NET external activator to process my messages in the queue. I would like this operation to be strictly database oriented. Having said this, I am also trying to avoid triggers processing the messages in the queue.
I've not really used SSIS for a while, and I'm now building some in 2012 and trying to utilise some of the features in the 2012 SSIS catalogue; however I've hit a bit of a stumbling block.
What I'm trying to do is have a master/child package relationship, with several child packages and where the child packages themselves are dynamically called (i.e. the master package may call a different child package based upon some value or state of data already processed.)
When I try and create an expression for the PackageNameFromProject property... well, that property doesn't appear to set dynamically. I know how to do this for old style packages by creating expressions for the package name etc; but that way I can't use the package parameters I have from my master package.
I have problem executing several SSIS-packages in a chain.
To be more precise: I have implemented a Biztalk 2006 application which via a local webservice executes an SSIS package. The package it self calls another SSIS package, which is located in the same folder as the calling package. The second package then calls a third package etc.
The problem arises, when the first package calls the second package. An Access Denied exception is received. Can any one explain me how to fix this?
The user connected to the application-pool that the weservice is running under, has execution-rights on all of the packages.
I have deployed to production a number of nested packages (parent packages that call child packages) to the SQL msdb via the Save As option rather than building a deployment utility. These packages reference configuration files in a static location off of the c: drive on the production server. In the development environment, when connection changes are made and I run the Reload with Upgrade option the connection manager takes on the new server and user id settings. However, out on the production side I get the following error from the SQL job log:
Cannot load the XML configuration file. The XML configuration file may be malformed or not valid.
As a result the SQL job uses the default connection information which references the development database rather than the production database. I did research the error but found no good solutions. Is there a way to ensure the configuration files are formed correctly and that the packages are correctly referencing the configuration files? We are trying to run the ETL updates via a SQL job.
I'm pretty stuck on a security issue in SSIS. The web service works by itself, but I can't call it from SSIS, it gives me a 401 unauthorized error. The web service also uses impersonation of my domain admin account.
I have tried the following things: Setting integrated windows authentication in IIS Setting the NTFS permissions of those web site directories to EVERYONE Using a credential / proxy in SSIS and running it from SQL Agent Changing the log on services of MSSQLSERVER, SQLAGENT, and SQL Integration Services to my domain admin account
I can't get anything to work. What is wrong with this thing? Microsoft's security model has gotten completley out of of hand imo
Also in the security event log it shows all authentication as successful.
Iam using 'Execute SQl task' which calls a stored procedure located in sql server database.The task's SQL source type is variable and the variable has the follwoing expression "EXEC PROC_SEL_MBO_REPORT "+@[User::V_SP_Job_Date]after evaluation it is like EXEC PROC_SEL_MBO_REPORT '01/NOV/2007'.It is working fine
Now the procedure is changed to Oracle.So I have changed it to "BEGIN PROC_SEL_MBO_REPORT " + "("+ @[User::V_SP_Job_Date]+")"+"; END"+";" after evaluation it is like BEGIN PROC_SEL_MBO_REPORT ('01/NOV/2007') END;.It is sucessfully executing from the task but no data is loaded into the tables which are used by the procedure internally. Executing 'execute BEGIN PROC_SEL_MBO_REPORT ('01/NOV/2007') END;' is perfectly alright from SQl developer or sql plus.
I am searching for a solution for Calling or consume a web service in SSIS through Script task. I have gone through so many links but i am able to find the exact solution. I am getting so many references, though i am unable to crack it.
My requirement is i need to call a web service URL through script task which is having a client certificate. When we are trying to connect to the URL it will ask for the certificate authentication. After calling this URL we will get a WSDL file from the web service, We need to consume that WSDL file and we need to identify the methods inside this WSDL and need to write the data available in this WSDL to the data base tables.
How can we call that web service URL( With certificate) through script task and how can we read the WSDL file and How we can load the data into DB table.
I have created for each container to call all the packages in a folder like below, also created a variable.
Then I add execute package task inside of foreach container and selected file system in a location and in connection called currently creating package name finally in connection properties i added variable in expression which i created and mapped into for each loop container. I referred below linkÂ
[URL] ....
All the packages are running but its not ending once all the packages executed its re run and continue the running process, how to stop once all the packages execute.Â
I need to improve the performance of a transaction processing SSIS package we've developed.
The package reads messages from an MSMQ queue, which contains a transaction to be processed, and executes another package within a For Loop container. The loop continues until all messages ransactions have been processed from the queue.
I've noticed that the For Loop will not iterate and process the next message ransaction until the called package completes for the previous message ransaction. Is there any way to run this secondary package asynchronously so that the For Loop does not wait for it to complete execution? I've tried setting the ExecuteOutOfProcess property on this secondary package to True, but found the same behavior as when the property was False. In fact, it appeared to take longer to process (probably due to the overhead of creating another process).
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
I am looking to create a job on our SQL Server 7.0 dB to: 1. Manipulate and move data from table 'a' to table 'b' (via stored proc) 2. Export table 'b' to a comma delimeted, double quote text identifier file (via dts export wizard stored as a DTS ) 3. Cleanup table 'b' and end the job.
I am creating a DTS package to execute step 1, then 2 and lastly 3.
How do I execute another DTS package (#2) from within this DTS package? Also, is there a way I can make the file name for #2 a dynamically generated name (i.e. include date and time in the file name)?
I have an SSIS package (TransAgentMaster) that I recently modified to include a call to a child package via the file system. The child package creates a text file. When I run the package in dev studio then the child package/text file is produced.
I then imported the TransAgentMaster as a stored packagesfilesystem package into SQL SSIS and executed the package. The child package produced the text file.
I then ran the SQL Server Agent to see if the child package would work and it did not generate the text file. Thus after updating a SSIS package importing the package into SSIS the job that calls the package will not call the child package. Please not that the TransAgentMaster package calls 7 children packages €¦ just not my new one.
Any thoughts why the agent will not run the child newly crated childe package?
I have a vbscript to read all files from a directory and, if the fileis valid, I would like my DTS to process it. I tried using thevbscript as an ActiveX workflow script in the DTS, but it does notexecute the data pump until it has completed looping through all thefiles, so only the last file read is sucked into the database(utilizing a global variable as the filename). Is there a way toexecute the data pump task from within the activex script? I can'tseem to find any documentation about executing a DTS task.Basically, the workflow I want is:1)Read files from directory (the number and names may change eachtime). (done with vbs)2)For each file, send it through the transformation into the database.3)When the information is in the database, append a date to the fileand move it to the archive folder. (done with vbs)If I am going about this the wrong way and you see something that isnot obvious to me, please let me know.Thanks in advance!
I am converting an old, classic asp application to ASP.NET. In the classic app, users are imported daily by importing a file from the head office and placed in the database by an SSIS package. In the new app, we are trying to use the built-in membership/authentication functionality. Does anyone know if it's possible to call the .NET membership API from, say a script task?
There is also the possibility of calling the aspnet_Membership_CreateUser directly, but that looks like I'd have to deal with password hashes and salts.
I'm attempting to call a storedprocedure from within an ActiveX task ina DTS and am getting a "Command Text was not set for the commandobject" error. I have no problem if I replace the stored procedure callwith the actual SQL.Is it possible to directly call a SP via an ActiveX task? If yes, couldsomebody help me with the syntax please?This is what I have currently haveSet Conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")SQL = "exec (MySP)"set RLoop=conn.Execute(SQL)do while (NOT RLoop.EOF)msgbox RLoop(1)RLoop.MoveNextLoopTIAKarthik
Hi: I a SSIS beginner and am hoping this is an easy one. I am using a Foreach loop container with an in-memory ADO recordset as the enumerator. The recordset has 3 columns and one of them I wish to fixup data in by calling a web service task that returns an integer. I see how to call the web service and return the integer into a variable but am unsure how to approach putting that variable back into the in-memory ADO recordset? Should I even be trying to do it this way? thanks! Henry
The Web Service Task seems to support calling methods using parameters but not (as far as I can see) using the Document/Literal calling convention. Is this correct? Is this likely to change in the future?
Hi. I have read most of the threads on not being able to run packages outside the Designer, in Agent. I believe my problem is different:
I am able to run some packages with Agent. In fact, we have a couple scheduled and running every night.
However, when we try to run a package that contains an FTP task it only runs in debug mode. If we import it into our server or run it without debugging it keeps failing and giving us the now famous:
The task...... cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition.
So, we have some packages already scheduled and running, but we can't run this specific package with the FTP task. We (two of us) have created this package in the same way we created the other ones. We have created different versions to see if one gets a hit, with no success.
I have a remote batch file on machine B that I need to execute using 'Execute process task' control from a package on machine A. The batch file uses pgp software and encrypts a file sitting on machine B itself. The reason why my batch file is sitting on machine B, is because the PGP software is on machine B.
If I execute the batch file by itself from machine B, the script runs fine. I refer the same batch file as a UNC path from my package on machine A. But that does not work since the 'Working directory' is still machine A. I can not set machine B's folder as the working dir because it does not accept UNC path. So I say, ok , let me map a path to that UNC location and map it as drive 'Z:'. Certainly if I do so, I will be running the process on machine A and the batch file will look for the pgp software on machine A, and hence fail.
I have tried third party remote batch execution tools (PSEXEC) but have not had success, not because of SSIS limitations, but simply because the PGP executable when run through the PSEXEC tool, does not identify the location of the public keys on machine B and hence gives an encrytion failure.
How do I get the remote batch file to execute such that it executes with its own env? Is there a better remote execution tool I can try or are there any other features of SSIS I can use to get around this issue? I need the results of the batch file and hence do not want to make it an asyncronous process.
I have SQLServer 7, and have used Enterprise Manager to schedule local packages. The package that I'm trying to do is run a SQL script on a nightly basis. The problem that I'm having is that I need to be able to install the scheduled script customer box using an installer. I have access to execute command line programs in the installer. Do anyone know if you can schedule local packages (using SQL Scripts) from the command line? Or if a 3rd party application can do this. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to use sp_add_job and sp_add_jobschedule, but haven't been able to get them to work.
Hello, I am working on a module to extract data from a Teradata server to SQL database. I am using a DTS package to extract the data and need to make the data source name (database name and object name) configurable at runtime and to be read from a Config table in the SQL database. What do you suggest is the simplest and most efficient method to do this?
I am trying to use a dynamic SQL query in the data tranform task with the data source as a query. But its giving me a strange syntax error. Can we use a dynamic SQL in the query option of DTS transform task source?
This is the first time I've tried creating an "execute sql task" with a "full result set".
I've read in the documentation that I must set the resultname to 0, which is done, and that the variable must be of type object. Also done.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "select * from blah" failed with the following error: "The SelectCommand property has not been initialized before calling 'Fill'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Has anyone else had success with a full result set?
I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" starting. Information: 0x4001100A at Copy BusinessContacts Data: Starting distributed transaction for this container.

I've been executing a package and passing a parent variable to the child using package configurations but I'd now like to do this using a script task. The script task would then programmatically load the package and execute it.
How do I do this and still use the parent variable?
I've found examples of how to load a package but I haven't been able to find out how to I load it specifying the parent variables.
I think it's possible. MSDN shows the available methods but the example is for the base method.
A common issue that I run across with clients is they want only want to process a file if it's finished transmitting to the server. This SQL Server 2005 task reads the properties of a file and writes the values to a series of variables. For example, you can use this task to determine if the file is in use (still be uploaded or written to) and then conditionally run the Data Flow task to load the file if it's not being used. You can also use it to determine when the file was created in order to determine if it must be archived.
Hi I have completed my first SSIS master package which runs a whole lot of child packages depending on value of expressions on workflow. (refer http://www.sqlis.com/306-3.aspx)
Each of my child packages is .dtsx file location and each Excute Package task uses the file connection.
The master parent package is also a dtsx file location which will be run by a SQL Server 2005 Agent
All good--problem is testing from BIDs--each time a Excecute package task is run--turns yellow a new tab appears apears in the design window --showing you that particular .dtsx file control flow detail. DTS never had this behaviour --can I turn this off in the BIDS ie as I have dozens of new tabs at run time which makes it very hard to keep track of the master package. All I want is the master package running from BIDs, and no new tabs appearing at run time???
