I have a package which runs several child packages. All works well and everything runs, but when it runs each of the children packages, it opens it, runs it and then it stays open. When the whole thing is done, there are about 25 or so open packages. Should they close after they run? Is there a setting I need to do this?
The point I am in SSIS is that I have gotten a decent feel for creating packages, but everything is still in debug mode. I need to take the next step to learn how to have this stuff run automatically or from a procedure outside the SSIS interface. Does that make any sense? If so, where can I learn about that.
I am in the process of moving from a 32-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise (9.0.3054) to a 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise (9.0.3054 with 4 CPUs and 8GB of memory on Win 2003 SP2) and the process has been very frustrating to say the least. I am having a problem with packages that I created on my 64-bit SQL Server. I am importing a few tables from the 32-SQL Server into the 64-bit SQL Server using the Task --> Import to create the package.
Sometimes when I am creating a package I get the following error in a message box:
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
The SSIS Runtime object could not be created. Verify that DTS.dll is available and registered. The wizard cannot continue and it will terminate.
Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (System.Windows.Forms)
Other times when I run a package that has run successfully before I get the following error:
Faulting application dtexecui.exe, version 9.0.3042.0, stamp 45cd726d, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, stamp 00000000, debug? 0, fault address 0x025d23f0.
The package appears to hang when running. By this I mean that the Package Execution Progress shows progress up to a point then it just stops. (The package takes about 17 seconds to run normally) CPU usage is at 1% and the package cannot be stopped.
I have deleted and re-created the package several times and I have also re-installed the service pack on the SQL Server (9.0.3054) but that did not help.
I'm in a SSIS Package Design tab working on a data flow. It was working fine up to now, but all of a sudden I keep getting this error that says, "Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close." And it has that "Send Error Report" and "Don't Send" button at the bottom. This started happening when I tried to add a Data Viewer on a Data Flow Path. And now every time I do this to try to debug my data flow, it gives me this message and closes my project.
However, the package executes without any package errors, but I as I described above, I can't add a Data Viewer because it keeps giving me this message and closing my package.
We're experiencing a problem where intermittently our SSIS packages will hang. There are no log errors or events in the event viewer. It will happen whether the package is executed from the SQL Job Agent or run from BIDs. When running from BIDs it appears to hang inside one of the data flows (several parallel pipes with sorts, merge joins etc...). It appears to hang in multiple pipes within the data flow component. The problem is reproducable, we just kill it and re-run, and it appears to hang in the same places.
Now here's the odd thing: as we simply open and close some of the components in the pipe line after the place it hangs, a subsequent run will go further in the pipeline before hanging. If we open and close all the components after the point it initially hung, the data flow will run fine, from there on out. When I say "open and close" I mean no changes are made, we simply double-click the component, like a merge join, then click 'close.'
To me this does not seem like a memory problem but likely something is wrong with the metadata, where opening a component and closing it somehow alters the metadata to "right it".
This seems to occur intermittently after we make modifications to the package. It's like if you make any mod, even unrelated to the data flow, you then have to go through and open and close every component in your package to ensure it will work. Again, no errors or warnings are fired.
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.
I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task.
The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL.
There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop).
Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package.
(For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)
The master package has a configuration file, specifying the connect strings The master package passes these connect-strings to the child packages in a variable Both master package and child packages have connection managers, setup to use localhost. This is done deliberately to be able to test the packages on individual development pc€™s. We do not want to change anything inside the packages when deploying to test, and from test to production. All differences will be in the config files (which are pretty fixed, they very seldom change). That way we can be sure that we can deploy to production without any changes at all.
The package is run from the file system, through a job-schedule.
We experience the following when running on a not default sql-server instance (called dkms5253uedw)
Case 1: The master package starts by executing three sql-scripts (drop foreign key€™s, truncate tables, create foreign key€™s). This works fine.
The master package then executes the first child package. We then in the sysdtslog get:
Error - €ścannot connect to database xxx€? Info - €śpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
The child package then executes OK, does all it€™s work, and finish. Because there has been an error, the master package then stops with an error.
Case 2: When we run exactly the same, but with the connection strings in the config file pointing to the default instance (dkms5253), the everything works fine.
Case 3: When we run exactly the same, again against the dkms5253uedw instance, but now with the exact same databases defined in the default instance, it also works perfect.
Case 4: When we then stop the sql-server on the default instance, the package faults again, this time with
Error - €śtimeout when connect to database xxx€? Info - €śpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
And the continues as in the first case
From all this we conclude, that the child package tries to connect to the database before it knows the connection string it gets passed in the variable from the master package. It therefore tries to connect to the default instance, and this only works if the default instance is running and has the same databases defined. As far as we can see, the child package does no work against the default instance (no logging etc.).
We have tried delayed validation in the packages and in the connection managers, but with the same results (error).
So we are desperately hoping that someone can help us solve this problem.
We have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example: Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
I am interested in Passing value from a child Package variable to the Parent package that calls it in ssis.
I am able to call the Child package using the execute package task and use Configurations to pass values from the parent variable to the child, but I am not able to pass the value from the child to the parent.
I have a variable called datasetId in both the parent and child. it gets computed in the child and needs to be passed to the parent...
Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.
However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.
When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.
How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?
I have a SSIS Package with a "Execute Package Task" to call a child package. I am trying to have the master/parent package complete its execution regardless the outcome (failure or success) of the child package. The overall structure of the master package is:
1. Perform Pre-load tasks (stored procedure).
2. Execute Package Task (call child package)
3. Perform Post-load Tasks (stored procedure)
I have try everything and cannot get the results that I want... I have tried the combination of "failparentonfailure", "forceexecutionvalue", etc. The master package stops at childs failure. I would like to resume to completion
I have two SSIS packages in a project, one calling the other. The parent package works fine in my local mechine. After they are deployed to the production, I schedeul jobs to run the packages in the SqlServer. The child package works fine if I run it alone, but the parent package could not find its child package if I run the parent package . As I checked, all xml config files and the connection string pointing to the child package were set correctly. It seems the parent package did not use the xml config file. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.
Hi, In my application, i have two package, parent package and child package. the parent package is executing child package using a Execute Package Task. "Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to TRUE. means the child package will be run in separate process not in the process of Parent package. this was working fine, but at a particular client location. its failing the error is "not able to load child package". for me it seems some setting on server restricting to create separate process for child package execution. when "Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to FALSE. its working fine.
can anyone help what could cause its failure with property set to TRUE.
I am trying to figure out how to run an SSIS package that is encrypted but also has a child package which is encrypted. I am trying to run from the cmd line using dtexec and specifying DECRYPT <pwd> for the parent package but how do you specify for the child package.
Please help if you have seen such an issue before or you have a work around.
I have a parent package which calls a number of child packages. Occasionally, I have one child package which starts up and appears to finish but the parent package never gets notification that the child has finished. If I view this in Management Studio's in Integration Services, I can view the packages that are running and only the parent package is running. Because it never gets control back, the next child package will never get started and the parent package will continue to run and never finish.
I need to pass variables from the parent package to the child package. I got this to work in a small test case. But in the actual project, I get an error when I try to do that. The parent package's log has this error :
Error: Error 0xC0012050 whike loading package file "c:.......". Package failed validation from the ExecutePackage task. The package cannot run..
I run into some issues and really need some expert help here.
Here is the problem. I have two packages (parent.dtsx and child.dtsx). Both package have its own configuration file (parent.dtsConfig and child.dtsConfig). The file Child.dtsConfig contains a variable (i.e. "X") that is to be used by Child.dtsx.
Inside parent.dtsx. there is a package-task that calls into Child.dtsx. It worked perfectly well if I run parent.dtsx using Dtexec or from inside SSIS's IDE.
Now I want to programmably call "parent.dtsx" from my C# code. I loaded package using "app.LoadPackage"... Inside C# code, I want to reconfigure Child-package's variable ("X"). I then loaded in "Child.dtsx". However when I run "parent.dtsx" and child.dtsx still loads the original value for "X". The reconfigured value for "X" is not updated.
Hey, I've a few jobs which call SSIS packages. If I run the SSIS package, it runs fine but if I try to run the job which calls this package, it fails. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? None of my jobs that call an SSIS package work. All of them fail.
I'm trying to run a job which moves data from one machine to another. I can manually execute the package successfully, but the job always fails. I get the dreaded error message 18456, "login failis for user "". I have double checked the logins for both machines,(sql server agent AND the sql server authentication). Also, I can run a select statement (from server_ to server_2) successfully from query analyzer i.e.
Select * from <linked_server_name>.<database>.<database_owner>.<table_name>
however, if I run this query from server_2 to server_1 I get the failed login message similar to the error message found in the job history. Since both servers accept nt logins, where is my problem? They are both set up as linked servers, and they are both mssql oledb. Any suggestions will be appreciated! thanks
I have created a package that takes a Visual FoxPro .dbf and imports into SQL7. If I run the job, it works fine. If I schedule the job it fails stating that I can't find the .dbf, the same one that it just found when run manually. What gives?
I am trying to run DTS package (stored on SQL Server) using Visual basic but i am getting the following error
Runtime error '-2147217843 (80040e4d)'
Login failed for 'MyUserID'
************************************* i used the following code in VB program
Sub Command1_Click() Dim dtsp As New DTS.Package dtsp.LoadFromSQLServer _ ServerName:="MyServer", _ ServerUserName:="MyUserID", _ ServerPassword:="MyPassword", _ PackageName:="DTSDemo" dtsp.Execute End Sub
*************************************
I can Run the package direct from SQL server but get error by Vb program. Any idea why it is so.
Like the name says, I'm trying hard, but I'm obviously missing something. Okay, I'm new to SSIS. I'm trying to write a job that deletes some Excel files on the server, copies some Excel files from a Sharepoint instance to the location where the deleted files were, runs an executable to manipulate those files, and then imports them to my SS instance.
the package runs fine when I run it from Managment Studio after installing it on the server. The 'execute task' fails when I run the job containing the package. After creating a proxy to have the SQL Server agent Service run with appropriate permissions, I thought I would have been rid of permissions issues (I gave the proxy way too much permission in an effort to narrow in on my issue), but I could still be missing something.
The job doesn't get into the package enough to even start writing to my log file, and all I get in the job history is the very cryptic 'DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1) ' error. If anyone has ideas, I would greatly appreciate being shown the error of my ways.
I have a Local DTS Package that I created that runs fine. I have scheduled it to run daily but it errors out when run it from the agent. This is an excerpt of the error from the Job history.
Delete from Table [Intranet].[dbo].[Employees] Step, Error = -2147217887 (80040E21)
This Local DTS Package, deletes the records in the file and reimports the data from an AS400 file that is recreated for me daily.
The only thing that has occured to me so far is that perhaps the SQL Agent Service Account needs permission to delete the records. (I'm using NT Security).
Am I on the right track or do you think it's something else?
I found some similar threads and guides but they didn€™t help me with my special problem.
I converted a dts package (built in SQL 2000) to SQL 2005. Right now it€™s a legacy package. (I tried the Tool Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components to open the package. It€™s going well)
I would like to build a scheduled job which runs this dts package. In SQL 2000 you can right click on the package and create the job. SQL created string like this: Dtsrun ASDFHJKSF56A4DFSLAKDHFJKS65646ASDFHSF (very long sting, it€™s the ID of the dts package)
How can I make something like this in SQL 2005? Where I can get the ID of a dts package from?
Best Regards, Alex
p.s. - I red the thread from Jamie Thomason and will directly mark as answer after I get a answer - of cource I will delete my thread too if I overlooked a thread with the same issue
This is a beginner's question so bear with me - I have a SSIS package that builds an Analysis Services fact table - depending on user input, this table is either re-built from scratch or any additional records since it was last run are created.
Where is the best place to store the time a package was last run - in a seperate table in the database or somewhere in the fact table?
Hi, I need to transfer the data in A table on a 2005 instance to B table which has the same structure as A table on a 2000 instance. There are 200,000 records in A table. If I use <insert B select * from linkedserver.....>, it takes only 30 seconds. I create a SSIS package to do this. But it is very slow. After it runs 10 minutes I have to stop it. And I find that it transfers about 100 records every second. Then I change the source server and destination server. That is transferring the same data from the 2000 instance to the 2005 instance. It takes only 50 seconds. why? How to make the package used for transfer data from the 2005 instance to the 2000 instance run fast?
I have an SSIS package created from a SQL 2000 DTS using the Migration Wizard. The package imports data from a MySQL database to a SQL 2005 64-bit database running on 64-bit windows server 2003. The package runs fine when executed from SQL Server Management Studio but when I schedule it as a job it fails with:
Executed as user: [the domain admin account]. The package execution failed. The step failed.
I've tried a lot of different ways to make this work including creating a new SSIS package. Again, the package ran fine except when it was scheduled as a job.
When I run a package I created in the development Studio it runs fine but if I create a job and run it I get an error "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ODS" failed with error code 0xC0202009"
I have the package setup to use a XML config file and it works fine on all the other packages but this one will not work.
A strange thing is happening to us: we create a bat file that executes an SSIS package with multiple connection managers and tasks.
When calling the bat file from command prompt €“ the package runs just fine!
When calling the same bat file from SQL Server Agent (that runs under the same NT account as SSIS, and all other SQL services, and belongs to local Adminstrators), the package fails half way through with connection failed issue.
Plus it gives us something like this: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER
Has anyone ever experienced this issue, do you have any possible solutions?
I have a 7 step SSIS package that manipulates some data on a DB2 database. The package executes perfectly in Business Intelligence Development Studio. I save the package to my SSIS store and then point my scheduled task to it and it fails after about 9 seconds everytime. I have an identical job that works with a different DB2 database that works without any problem. The only difference is the database it's pointing to.
The package is executing as the same user who created it, which has sysadmin to both the SSIS store and the SQL instance the package is executing on. When I saved the package I selected "Rely on server storage roles for access control" for the protection level.
This one is driving me crazy, can't figure it out. Any idea's?
