Create The Package On The Server, And Execute Through Sql Server Agent
Oct 24, 2006
Hi,
Some of you guys seem to be gurus with the new Integration Services technology, so I hope someone can lend me some advice, as I haven't worked much with integration before.
Ok, here we go. What I want to do is select some data from my database and export the result to a flat file (really a .csv file with values delimited by semicolons). Sounds like a simple thing to do? Well, I'm sure it is when you know how to do it :) I know I could manage the same thing by writing a C# class that creates that .csv file, but the decision has been made to use Integration Services for these kind of operations.
I created an SSIS project in Business Intelligence Development Studio, and created a package (I defined the task flow etc.). By choosing "Execute package" from the IDE I managed to create the flat file, and everything seemed sweet. However, When trying to execute the package (package.Execute();) from C# code, it only results in a failure. I have read on several sites that this has to do with my program lacking the rights to run the package from the client side. OK, fair enough. I need to create the package on the server, and use an SQL Server Agent to execute the package through the agent.
Can anyone tell me how I need to do this? How can I ensure that the package is created on the sql server instead of locally on my development computer? When I create a new SSIS project the package is already made, and it is created locally on my PC.
I hope someone can give me some help. Even a little nudge would be appreciated ;)
awhile back someone (i think it was darren) submitted a post which had a code example of using sql server agent stored procedures to execute a package. i searched for the post, but i didn't find it.
anyway, can someone please re-post that example or provide a similar one?
hi, can anyone explain, how to execute package with sql server agent:
the problem is::
i made a integration service package (in visual studio 2005). When I 'm in visual studio and do "execute" the package it works well. Then I build a dtsx file. When i double click on it, it opens and if i do execute, it works well.
I want to execute the package every week automatically. I write a job in SQL server agent, in Steps I choosed Type=SQL server Integration service packege, then General->packacge source -> file system, and then wrote where the dtsx file is (which was built). "Run as" I choose my user name.
then i'm trying to start a job, but it fails, and writes "The package execution failed."
I'm trying to run a task that executes a script file (cmd). When i run it with in bids with my own users (domain admin) it works. When i start a cmd prompt and try to run the cmd file directly from the network location where it is it works (with my own rights and with the sql server agent user).
Now when i try to run in from smss > agent jobs > job and run job it never completes. Im not getting any error message either it just keeps on running on the step ??? It seems like a rights issue, but the account running the sql server agent is able to execute the cmd file directly from the command prompt.
There are no errors in any error logs anywhere and no error is displayed...
Ps. Im running the job step as a integration service pacgake.
I am trying to copy a database from our company's external SQL Server(production) to our local SQL Server(development). The Copy Database wizard fails on the step "Execute SQL Server Agent Job". Following is the error in the log file.. Please advise
InnerException-->An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
DTS job fails with the following error, A Server (Windows 2003 SE with SP1) has 4 SQL Server 2000 instances with mixed of SP3 & SP4. But few jobs are failing in all the 4 instances.
Executed as user: DCADB04SYSTEM. DTSRun: Cannot create COM Server to load and execute DTS Package. Error -2147221008 (800401F0): CoInitialize has not been called. Process Exit Code -2147221008. The step failed.
Appreciate you suggestion to fix this, regards, Arul
when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success. DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0). Started: 3:37:41 PM Finished: 3:37:43 PM Elapsed: 2.719 seconds
However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.
I'd like to know if there's a way to pass parent package parameters to a package executed by SQL Server Job Agent? It appears that sp_start_job doesn't have any variable that could accomodate this.
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 have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow.
From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job .
But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?
Sql server agent is running under a domain account that is a member of administrators and domain users amongst others, and the package is executed as the service account. Connecting to servers on the same domain works and when I run it from the msdb package store in ssis (ssis runs under the network service account ...) it will connect to the pop server as well. Permissions, fiddly proxies .. the answer's out there somewhere
I am loading data from one DB to another. I wish to load them every day at night. I know to do that, I must write a script. But how to do it? I don't know. Could someone help me?
I'm not sure what happened, but all of a sudden my SQL Server Agent service won't start. When I try to start it, I get the following error in the event logs:
"SQLServerAgent could not be started. Error creating a new session".
When I look in the Agent log file, i see the following:
Execute permission denied on object sp_sqlagent_has_server_access
Execute permission denied on object sp_sqlagent_get_startup_info
I'm using SSIS package to extract text file, and load into SQL Server. I test the SSIS package import manually, it works. Then I'm using SQL Server Agent to set up schedule. According to the log, the job agent work at the scheduled time, yet job agent throw out the error message.
Message1: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sysAdmin. The last step to run was step 1 (Extract Data).
Message2: Executed as user: SQLSERVERsysAdmin. The package could not be loaded. The step failed.
Now I only have 1 step and set up "on success action" then "quite the reporting success". Any clue? Thanks
I have a SSIS package that I developed using Business Intelligence Development Studio. I imported it into our SQL Server database and it runs fine (when I connect to Integration Services within SQL Server Management Studio, and run the package). But when I created a SQL Server Agent job comprising 1 step, to run this package, it fails. The failing step attempts to read data from a MS Access 2000 DB into SQL Server 2005.
I added logging to the package, and got the following error logged to the Event Viewer: "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "CurrentYearPCStats" failed with error code 0xC0202009."
I then created a new Operating System (CmdExec) step, calling DTEXEC with the command line copied from that generated by the SSIS step. The command line is: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTEXEC.EXE" /SQL "AFAReductionAFA Reduction Integration" /SERVER <ourservername> /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF
This failed with the same error in the Event Viewer, but for some reason also produced a meaningful error in the SQL Server Agent job's View History: Description: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\<anotherservername>PCStatsliveCurrData.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data."
Please note that the SQL Server Agent runs using user id sqlservice, by default, and I have amended this user's Windows account to make it a Domain Admin.
Please let me know why I might get this error, when the package runs OK on its own.
I create a package in SSIS and I can run it without any problem in BI studio. However, if I deploy it to a sql agent package and run it thru sql agent job.. I keep getting an error one of lookup transfomation is invalide..
I don;t understadn I can run the package in debug mode but why i keep getting an error when I deploy to a sql agent job?
I would like to find out, if there is something I can implement/or should I need to implement to avoid running two concurrent processes of 1 SSIS Package. I mean by default, I will schedule the SSIS package to run utilizing SQL Server Agent. But How I avoid/prevent it to run concurrently or what do I need to setup where I only allow 1 instance of my package to run. Thanks.
Hi, I have been searching through the posts hoping to find an answer to my problem. Most errors and problems seem to deal with Agent not being able to run packages because of permission issues.
My problem has to do with SQL Server Agent not finding the package to run. I have a proxy with a high enough level of permissions (SqlAgentOperatorRole).
The error message I get is:
Executed as user: ___/____. The package could not be found. The step failed.
The package is in a folder on our network. When I create the step I use the browser to go find and select the package. So why does it not find it at runtime? I can run it manually
My group is using 2005 for the first time. Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
When I try to run a DTSX package from SQL server agent, I get this error message:
Started: 3:59:42 PM Error: 2007-08-13 15:59:42.39 Code: 0xC0016016 Source: Description: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTSroperty" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state.".

All my other packages run fine. This one contains an FTP task and will not run, although it will run if I execute it through the visual studio.
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.".
The above path "I:...." is mapped on the server that SQL Server is running on.
This package runs with NO problems in MS Visual Studio.
I've been looking everywhere for a hint on how to tackle this, but can't get it to work.
I have an SSIS package that I am trying to run from SQL Server Agent.
I have been able to run it fine from the IDE, and from within the Integration Services system on my database server. However when I try to run the package via SQL Server Agent I get the following error: "Executed as user: MyDomainSQLServer. The package execution failed. The step failed."
The login name is the SQL Server service account, which is a domain account on our domain. The package is set with EncryptSensitiveWithPassword and the password is supplied on the command line via the /DECRYPT flag.
I am thinking that maybe there is a permissions problem with the service account, but I can't find any detailed information about what actual permissions this account requires. I have tried expanding its permissions, but continue to get this error.
How should the MyDomainSQLServer account be configured?
I am execute paakge correctly from my local machine through Agent and Command line. but when i try to execute in another server it fails. I am invoking and executing as an administrator. when i run through the command prompt or as an individual pacakge in file system it works fine.
I am exceuting the package with Protection level Don'tSaveAsSensitive.
I also want to know a way to fine out what the error is exactly.not just the View History. If i set the logging for the package where do i view them???
I have a problem running an SSIS package in a SQL Server job. The package runs fine if I run it from the MSDB location, but if I try to run the job it fails. The job is set to Run as: SQL Agent Service Account. The SQL Service Agent service runs as a domain user SQLExec. I have logged in as this user and run the SSIS package and it runs fine, but if I create a job with only this step it fails. There isn't much information about where there is a problem. Any ideas or ways to troubleshoot this problem would be very much appreciated.
I want execute package with SQL Server Agent. I create a job and I try all the solutions : my job doesn't want to work.
I success to launch the package but the execution failed.
I try the same job launching from the server : it doesn't work either.
So, I copy the command line (/FILE, /DTS or /SQL) and with DTEXEC utility it works when this command is executed on the server (on a client computer, the problem "the product level is insufficient" appears).
Why is it working with this utility and not with a job ?
I try to change every secured option (credential --> proxy --> Run as ; change the owner of the job ; etc.)
Okay, i've got an ETL package which works flawless, we've created a scheduled job for it which also worked. This ETL accesses a flat file located on a server on a different location in the same domain.
Last week we start a migration to a new network, the location where the flat file is stored has already moved to the new domain but the SQL server agent is still on the old domain. There is a trust between the 2 domains, the network user from the old domain has been added on the server in the new domain where the flatfile is located.
If i run the etl package manually it works flawless, now if i run the etl using the SQL server agent it won't run anymore.
I get the following error:

Don't tell me its a problem related to the user that the SQL Server Agent is set to because its set to OldDomaindwh which is the same user i use to login on the server where i can manually run it without problems. The problem only occures when i run it using the SQL server agent which uses the same user to execute packages.
This is a very difficult problem i doubt anyone here will be able to crack this nut, but if they do i'll be very impressed because it would require a real smart network admin with SQL experiance to figure this one out...
I have a need to force a package to run using the 32-bit runtime from the SQL Server Agent. The machine is a x64 unit. I'm having to use an ODBC driver to extract data from our ERP package that will only run in 32 bit. Any help would be appreciated.
I created a SSIS package using VS2005 with the "ProtectionLevel" set to "DontSaveSensitive" . I executed the package and it completed without an error. I then built the package and deployed it to the SSIS inside the folder "MSDB". I run the pakage in SSIS and it worked perfectly. Then I created a job in SQL Server Agent and have it run in a per-set schedule. It failed to run withthe following error:

The error mentioned the step in SSIS Package that requires to copy the backup of the OLAP database file "AS_STDM.abf" from the Source Server location (local processing server SRVSPOYDB01) to the Targer Server location (remote production server SVMPPODB01) "Svmppodb01OLAP DataSql DataBackUpAS_STDM.abf". This step worked in the SSIS(SRVSOUDB01) when executing there. Why it is not working in Sql Server Agent(SRVSOUDB01). It also works in VS 2005.
when I try to run a package as Job I receive the following error
Executed as user: SITAsqlserveragent_svc. The package execution failed. The step failed.
Has someone an idea how I can get more detailed information about WHY the job failed? Tha package was created in BIDS and imported into MSDB. Running the package from the Integration Services context menu works, but starting it as a job from SQL Server Agent fails. Any idea or hint what the reason could be or how I can get more information?
Hello All, My database application has certain stored procedures which are scheduled to run at certain predefined interval (say once everyday). Now to implement this logic I have two options with me, first being to use the EXECUTE SQL TASK of the SSIS package and schedule it using the windows scheduler and the other is to use the SQL Server Agent Jobs and schedule it there itself. Now the current implementation is using the SSIS packages and I even know that the second approach of using the SQL Server Agents Job is better. The only thing I want to know is whether it makes sense to invest time in converting my SSIS packages (20 in all) to SQL Server Agent jobs or not. Can somebody briefly explain or give some pointers regarding the performance benefits of Agent Jobs over the SSIS packages.
I have a package that has both oracle and sql server connection manger... I can execute a package and debug in business inteligent studio.. but if i run a package as a job: i am keep getting an error:"ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied ".
I 've checked "Save password" in oracle connection manager...
How can I save a password and run as a sql server agent job?
