Child Packages Fail To Deploy
Nov 6, 2007
I have a parent package and three child packages.
In all packages they make connections to a SQL 2005 db which sits on the same instance as which the packages are being deployed.
In the Child packages these connections have the connection string set as a package property variable in Package configs and in the Parent package this variable exists correctly.
This variable in the Parent is itself defined in a PackageConfig which uses SQL Server as the holder for the configuration.
When I deploy the packages the connections to in the child packages fail, one connection by timing out, another with an acquire connection failure.
I have set the DelayValidation to false on all connections but it made no difference.
I have also increased the timeout to 180s but again still a failure.
When I deploy the parent package on its own it is successful, however when the child packages are deployed on their own these connections again fail to validate due to a timeout and connection failure, yet they are using the same connections defined in the parent.
The child packages are no larger than other single packags that I have deployed successfully with the same connection to the same server.
Is there anything special that I should be aware of regarding deployment of parent and child packages.

Have a parent package that calls many child packages (over 30) for a daily data warehouse update. On any given day, it randomly fails to call a child package with the following error:
Error 0x800706BE while preparing to load the package. The remote procedure call failed.
Its not failing the same package each day. I need a better explanation of this error message.
Environment: SQL2005 Enterprise Dec2005 RTM on Itanium64 with Windows DataCenter.

I have 2 DTS packages that import data from an Access database that have recently started failing. They run fine manually in DTS, but not manually as a job. They get an "unspecified error." These were running fine, until we installed Outlook and started to add Outlook mail to SQL.
Originally, Administrator was the owner and that is how the jobs were run. We changed to SQLAdmin for the SQLAgent to start under, and I changed the owner of the jobs to SQLAdmin. This works for all jobs but these 2. I thought maybe SQLAdmin could not get to the Access database, but it can. I spell out the path for the database, I don't use any mappings. I recreated the jobs logged in as SQLAdmin, and they still do not work as jobs.
Any ideas are much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

I have 9 Dimensions and 16 Fact Packages in my SSIS Project. All these 25 packages uses one source (SQLServer A - staging) and a seperate destination (SQlServer B - Warehouse) . I have completed my development. Now i want to move these packages to production environment. I have a Parent package to control all these facts and Dimensions.
1. Should I always change the Protection level of the Package to "DontSaveSensitive" before moving to some other machine where it has to run under a different user?
2. Which is the best way to follow for configuring the connection strings in my development?
Having a variable for each connection string @ parent project level and pass it to child packages
or
Configure the connection strings directly in a XML config file for one package and in all my other packages i have to say the package to Reuse the existing config file as the source and dest is same for all these packages?
And am hearing one more buzz word "Proxies for running SSIS packages". Any information on this also will help me.
Please help!!!
Thanks in Advance.

Hi There
Most of the time my solutions consist of 1 or 2 packages and config files work well.
Now i have a solution with about 50 packages i have to move to QA.
However a config file has the package ID, so even thoug they use the same data source connection. I would have to create and change 50 config files.
Data sources are kept in the package xml , so if i copy all the packages to QA , and then change the Global Data Source connection, i still have to open each package maually and save it again.
Surely there must be an easy way to move all 50 packages and have the connection now point to QA. But config files and global data sources dont do the trick, what am i missing here ?
Thanx

Today when I came into work, I noticed all of my jobs failed on a particular server. I tried to manually kick off the packages, but to no avail. Both the job history and the error message from the packages state a timeout error.
Any idea on this? Also, I have no problem running a query from query analyzer...even on a remote machine.
Any help would be appreciated

Hello all,
I'm running into a curious situation here and I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on directions to investigate.
To set up our situation, we are running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64bit processor. In Dev, winver says V5.2 R2 and we're at SP1. I am told, but cannot verify that the rest of our environments (test, load, stage, prod) are patched to the same level. I do know they are all 64 bit processors and running the 64bit OS. The database servers are all at
Product version 9.00.3027.00
Product level SP2
edition Standard Edition (64-bit)
Our SSIS packages are deployed and stored in SQL server using dtsinstall. I do not know if the DBAs check the "Validate packages after installation." but I will assume they do not. Packages are invoked using dtexec in a manner like "D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server (x86)90DTSBinndtexec.exe" /sq MyPackage /ser MyServer
All of this has been working fine but we've now had two issues where our packages fail to validate. The first was a deployment to production. The same build had been applied to identical environments and processed fine there. However, one package of the 12 deployed to production failed to validate as the built-in Audit dataflow component decided the length for the audit name is not valid for the specified lineage item. We attributed that to a fluke run as we could not reproduce the issue.
Yesterday a different package ran in our test environment. It failed out due to data issues but the important thing is the package actually passed validation and failed at run-time due to bad data. The testers corrected the data issues and this morning when the package (no code changes made to it) was reran it failed to validate with
'The metadata for "[dbo].[MY_TABLE]" cannot be retrieved. Make sure the object name is correct and the object exists.'
* The person invoking the package is a DBA so permissions shouldn't be an issue.
* The code has not changed between yesterday and today.
* The package's configurations in SQL Server have not changed
* The table does exist
To summarize, it validated yesterday and today it fails to validate with no changes to the code. I've asked the DBAs to reprocess the job and see whether the package blows up but in the meanwhile, any thoughts on things to look into? I'm less familar with using SQL Server as the package repository as my last place we used the file system exclusively so that and the possibility of 64bit quirkiness are my current guesses but they are just guesses.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I'm still getting used to SSIS and I'm wondering how to deploy all 20 of my ssis packages to my sql server 2005 machine in the msdb?
I could open each one and then save a copy as, but by default it doesn't put the name of the package in so I must copy and paste.
thanks.

Hi, everyone,
Here's the situation:
I want to deploy my SSIS packages on SQL's MSDB database, but i can't open the MSDB directory

Hi,
While developing the packages in our developers environment the packages should be stored in file system. Once after the completion of the development, while moving these packages to upstream environments the packages should be deployed to sql server. Is this scenario possible? If possible, can anybody give me some tips for how to do that.
Basically It is like the developers make their changes in the file system packages (internally versions are mainintained by source control). After the completion of the development whenever we do a build and deploy to the upstream systems we should move the packages from file system to sql server database. There is a scheduler in sql server which is responsible for executing these packages.
Can anybody give me some examples?
Another question.
Assume that in the developers environment there is a central sql server database which is storing all the packages in MSDB database. Suppose at a time 2 developers are making modification to a single package. How it behaves? Is parallel developemnt supported in SSIS?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have some problem when deploy ssis packages to sql server
In the deployment wizard,
I follow the wizard steps to deploy my ssis packages to sql server

In SSIS you can create subfolders in the MSDB folder. However, when deploying a SSIS solution to the server, it seems you cannot specify a subfolder. When selecting MSDB as the target, all packages in the solution end up directly underneath the MSDB folder.

I searched for an answer for this, and found a few good threads, but none of them seem to be doing quite the same thing I'm trying to do.
I have two packages, parent and child. Parent does basic file manipulation -- encrypting/decrypting, moving from server to server, backing up to archive, pulling/pushing to external server via FTP, etc. It is completely dumb to what child does. Child is the guts of the data work -- the ETL package.
The goal is to have this one parent package be used by several ETL child packages. But not only can parent use different children (depending on which config is used when executing parent), but child can also handle different tasks, depending on a configuration it uses.
Let me break it down further.
Three packages:
ParentPackage - Used by all jobs
ChildPackage1 - Used for processing orders
ChildPackage2 - Used for processing inventory
Four configurations (thus four jobs):
Job1Configuration - Used for processing orders for ClientA
Job2Configuration - Used for processing orders for ClientB
Job3Configuration - Used for processing inventory for ClientA
Job4Configuration - Used for processing inventory for ClientB
Job1Configuration is set up to tell ParentPackage to use ChildPackage1, and to provide ChildPackage1 w/ various data for ClientA -- and so forth.
To my understanding, there is no passthrough of the config data from parent to child. A child package doesn't "inherit" or otherwise receive the information from the parent package, unless explicit variables are set up. This won't work for us, because ParentPackage is dumb of any data that the child packages may need. In other words, we don't want to set up ParentPacakge with every possible variable that every child package may need.
Also, I'm not aware of a way of setting up a job to provide a child package directly w/ a package configuration.
Is there any way to do what I'm trying to accomplish?
If I didn't explain something clearly, let me know and I will try to clarify.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
I was hoping someone might be able to clarify how configuartions work with child packages. My process has 3 levels of packages. The main packages called two child packages each of which calls more child packages.
I'm using Configurations to pass variables from parent packages to child packages. But each level of packages contains Data Flow Source/Destination connections. I was planning on having only 1 XML Configuration file in the main package that would allow the data connections for the main package to be configured for the target enviornment. When the job is scheduled I will be able to point a configuration file for use with the main packages. But will that configuration file be applied to all child packages that will run? All of the Connections Managers have the same name so I'd like to make the change in one file.
If not, am I forced to define a parent/child variable to pass the Connection String from the parent to each of the child packages? Use an expression to set the Connection String dynamically? This seems like a lot of extra work, so I'd really like to see if there is a way to do it with an XML configuration file. Even if I have to definte the same config file for each of my 20+ packages.
Thanks

Hi ,
I'm deploying the packages to SQL Server using the deployment utility. It goes through. However i wish to organize the packges into folders on the SSIS Server -> MSDB.
I'm able to create folder under the MSDB node. By default "Maintenance Plans" exists. But while deploying the package to the server i'm unable to specify the folder into which the package to be deployed.
Is this a known gap in the deployment wizard or am i missing something?

I have a fairly simple SSIS project that has nested parent-child packages.
I am trying to find the best way to manage the connections strings so as to make the package portable across machines and environments. Currently there is one "master" package which calls 6 child packages. 1 of these child package calls 3 child packages of its own.
For the database connections, I've settled on creating a standardized .dtsConfig file for each server/login. This is a relatively small number (intially 8) that I don't expect to grow much.
I've taken a different approach for the file-system connections used by Execute Package components that call the child packages. For each package that has child packages, I store all the connection strings (paths) to the child packages in a single .dtsConfig file. This works well for the top-level "master" package where I can pass in the .dtsConfig file (that has the paths to the child packages) as a run-time option in the Execute Package Utility.
However, this approach seems to fall apart for the 2nd generation package that in turn call 3rd generation packages because I don't know how to get the .dtsConfig file (with the 3rd generation .dtsx package paths) path to this downstream dtsx package.
Though I'm sure there are others, the only two solutionsI can think of now are
(a)don't nest packages beyond 1 parent/child relationship -- not really an option or
(b)Store the path of .dtsConfig files for each .dtsx package as an environment variable on each machine. This option is unappealing because it would require adding an environment variable for every .dtsx package that has child packages. I don't think it would take long for this to grow into a large number, that would make managing environment variables cumbersome.
So far my experience with SSIS has been that there was a simple solution for each scenario I had. So this hoop jumping I'm going through seems to indicate I am just missing something.
Is there a better way I am just not getting?

hello again!, this time I'm trying to run a Master Package from the SQL Server Agent but I can't set relative paths to the connections for all the child packages that the master package contains.
It only finishes execution when I set absolute paths for all connections in the connection manager within the SSIS Project.
Is there any property in the SQL Server Agent or mayby a workaround to solve this?

It would appear that if a Child package is called more than once from a Parent using the 'Execute Package' task, then after the first execute the Parent Package Variables are not applied to child package. I.E we build dimensions in a master database and these are then loaded to a number of topic specific datamarts. We simply pass Parent variables to the child that hold source & target connection strings, the first time the package is called the correct database is accessed, subsequent Executes ignore the variables and use the original values. Manipulating the (our) event queue to run the package once results in the correct behaviour
Are packages cached when they are called from a Parent? if so is there a flag that I have missed to force a reload each time a child is executed?
This has just become a big problen for us so any guidance would greatly appreciated.

HI, I have some parent parent packages that calls child packages. When I added a bunch of packages, I faced the buffer out of memory error. I then decided to set the child packages property ExecuteOutOfProcess to TRUE. I noticed that the execution time is longer now. Is this a good practice to set the ExecuteOutOfProcess to true? If so, is it normal that the execution time is longer?
Thank you,

Hi there,
I have a Business Intelligence project containing 4 packages. One of the packages is a parent package that just runs the other 3 packages sequentially (passing in variables via Package Configurations).
When I set the properties of the Execute Package tasks in the parent package, it seems that I can only select SQL Server or File System locations for the child packages.
What I want to do is for the parent to run the packages in the Visual Studio Project so that I can debug the whole process. I don't want to be bothered deploying the child packages so that I can run them from the parent, at least not while I am debugging the whole process.
How do I get the children to run within Visual Studio as well as the parent? I can't for the life of me find anything on the MSDN about this.
Many thanks in advance.

I have one package that executes 4 child packages (5 total). All 5 packages are set to log information using a connection string with a variable set at runtime for the location. The child packages use a parent variable to get the log connection string from the parent package.
The parent package logs fine, but a strange behavior occurs with the child packages.
The child packages all log data to the location used in the configuration file variable during runtime (like it's supposed to). However, I would get an error right before the first child package finishes execution saying path not found. Just for giggles, I created the folder I use in my development environment on the production environment. The error goes away, but the log file is created in that folder with no data in it. Subsequently, the log file with the data is created in the location set in the configuration file. Now I have two log files!!!!
Anybody know how to fix this?!

My packages are now in the filesystem. I have given the parent package a password in the properties window, saved the package and moved it to the run location.
I am using the SQL Job Agent to schedule the execution. My step command line reads:
dtexec /FILE "C:Pathparentpackage.dtsx" /De mypass /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW
Do the the 20 or so child and grandchild packages require passwords to run this way?
Thanks,

I currently have multiple (parent and child) packages using the same config file. The config file has entries for connections to a number of systems. All of them are not used from the child packages. Hence, my child package throws an error when it tries to configure using the same config file because it can't find the extra connections in my connection collection.
Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to go about resolving this? Is multiple config files (one for each connection) the only way?

Hi,
I have been developing SSIS packages and recently I found a strange thing happening. When executing chilld packages from the parent packages the child packages dont open automatically in the Package Designer window. Hence I cant monitor the places where the errors/ row movement have happened in child pkgs without manually opening the them first and then executing the parent.

I am running a package with a parent child relationship.
in the parent package I am executing a loop that calls the child package each time it loops.
The child package is executing a SQL command that retuns data and attempts to load the data into a flat file.
The problem is that everytime the SQL changes the Metadata needs to change also.
How can I refresh the child packages Metadata dynamically.
I KNOW THAT I CAN'T REFRESH THE METADATA WHILE THE PACKAGE IS RUNNING.
But I can refresh the Metadata before the package executes.
Does anyone know how to script this?
Thank you

Hi,
I've found this problem that when I change settings in my configuration file it does not automatically apply to all child packages which uses the same configuration file if run from a job in SQL Server Agent. I need to open the package and save it again from BIDS. I use one "load group" package to execute all other packages.
Is there a way from the job configuration to set a setting so the package allways will have the newest configuration?
Regards
Simon

I have a parent package that uses Execute Package Task against three child packages. They are all setup to use the same configuration file, and the packages are all located in the same folder. Purpose of the configuation is to use the same connection strings for each child package.
I removed the path from the config. file specification to facilitate deployment. During debugging, the child packages cannot find the config file when they are run via the parent unless the full path is specified. If run standalone, a child package can find the config. file without the path. As I said, all dtsx filaes and the config file is in the same folder.
Also, the password-removal issue is killing me in development. Everytime I touch the config. file, it removes the password from the connection string. I have "protection level" set to "don't save sensitive" - I'd appreciate help with this too.
thanks

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.

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.
