MS SQL Server :: DTS Execute Package Task Step Precedence Bug

Execute Package Results Different To Step By Step Execution - Uses Raw File

Jan 31, 2007

I have a package that has multiple data flow tasks. At the end of a task, key data is written into a raw file (file name stored in a variable) that is used as a data source for the next task. Each task requires a success from the preceding task.

Here's the rub:

If I execute the entire package, the results of the package (number of records of certain tasks) differs significantly from when I execute each step in the package in turn (many more records e.g. 5 vs 350).

I get the feeling that the Raw file is read into memory before it is flushed by the previous task, or that the next task begins preparation tasks too early.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am running on Server 2003 64 (although the same thing happens when deployed on a Server 2003 32 machine)

Thanks

Post Execute Step Of Data Flow Task Stalls

Dec 27, 2007

I have a package that used to work fine, but after I imported it into a different existing solution and tried to run it, it always stalls during the data flow task at the very end.

It will run through and process all the rows and insert them into the destination except for the last chunk. The task blocks eventually all turn green as well, but then it never proceeds to the next task after the data flow. Looking at the Progress tab for the data flow task, I get the following:
Progress: Pre-Execute - 100 percent complete
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: Execute phase is beginning.
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: Post Execute phase is beginning.
Progress: Post Execute - 0 percent complete

Then it just stays at 0 percent for Post Execute. The program doesn't hang or anything, it just doesn't progress at all. I also just checked and I run the package from its original solution and it is now exhibiting the same behavior as well.

Any ideas what might be causing this or something to do to try and figure it out or at least get more information about what might be causing it?

Thanks.

SSIS Package Doesn't Execute As A Job Step

May 3, 2006

I have this SSIS package which just doesn't seem to run when executing as a sql job and I keep getting this error:

"The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed."

I read some of the comments in forums and they were suggesting to verify the command line for the sql job since there is known bug in the command line for sql job.

But that didn't seem to resolve it and the reason could be one of the variable values that I am trying to set.

In this package one of the variables that I am trying to set is the connection string and my command line looks like this

dtexec /SQL "TestPkg" /SERVER [SVRNAME] /MAXCONCURRENT "-1" /CHECKPOINTING OFF
/SET " package.variables[User::MetaDataConnectionString].Value";"Data Source=[SVRNAME];Initial Catalog=[DBNAME];Integrated Security=True;"

When I try to run this from the command line I get the error as:

Argument " package.variables[User::MetaDataConnectionString].Value;Data Source=[SVRNAME];Initial Catalog=[DBNAME];Integrated Security=True;""
for option "set" is not valid.

I think the issue is in the set parameter where it seems to be intepreting the ;'s in the connection string as part of its command (which I seem to be escaping by putting them in quotes but it seems to be stripping them off)

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there any other escape character that I should be using?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How To Execute A Single Step In A SSIS Package?

Mar 17, 2007

Hi all,

I am new to SQL Server 2005 (but many years in SQL Server and .NET), and I am sort of having everything figured out for my company. However, one thing that still bothering me is that:

In the old Server 2000, you can execute a single step in a DTS package by right click the step and then click execute step.

In the new server 2005, I can only execute the whole package from the Management Tool and Edit the pack from VS 2005. Is there also a way for me to execute a single step in a SSIS package?

This is important for us, many thanks!

Looking For A Way To Refer To A Package Variable Within Any Transact-SQL Code Included In Execute SQL Or Execute T-SQL Task

Apr 19, 2007

I'm looking for a way to refer to a package variable within any
Transact-SQL code included in either an Execute SQL or Execute T-SQL
task. If this can be done, I need to know the technique to use -
whether it's something similar to a parameter placeholder question
mark or something else.

FYI - I've been able to successfully execute Transact-SQL statements
within the Execute SQL task, so I don't think the Execute T-SQL task
is even necessary for this purpose.

Execute DTS 2000 Package Task. Mischievous Task??

Sep 21, 2006

Hi everyone,

For first time I'm testing this task and surprisingly, when I try "Edit Package" option:

1)The DTS host failed to load or save the package properly
2)The selected package cannot be opened
3)Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component

But after these messages you can see all the tasks but they haven't name!!

It seem as if RCW mechanism has failed between managed and unmanaged coded-partially.

I don't dare to follow doing more stuff, I don't know if that package is well-loaded or not from there. ?�

Any guidance or idea about this?

Execute Package Task: Error 0x80070005 While Preparing To Load The Package. Access Is Denied.

Jun 8, 2007

I am having problems executing a child package from a parent package using the Execute Package Task. I am attempting to run the master package through a SQL Server Agent job.

The SQL Server Agent job is owned by sa. The step that runs the parent package is configured to load the package from the SSIS Package Store on the same server that the job is running.

I have the Execute Package Task configured as follows:

Location: SQL Server
ExecuteOutOfProcess: True
Connecting as a SQL Server login (let's say TestEtl)

I have added the db_dtsoperator database role to both the TestEtl login and the login that SQL Server Agent connects through. I have also configured the child package's reader role to include db_dtsoperator. Per http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms141053.aspx, this should allow these logins to run the child package.

I have enabled logging of all events in both the parent and child packages. I see the following in the logs when the Execute Package Task executes (omitted portions unrelated to the execution of the child package task):

450939 OnPreExecute ChildPackage 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 450940 OnPreValidate ChildPackage 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 450941 OnPostValidate ChildPackage 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 450942 User: Diagnostic ETL 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 ExternalRequest_pre: The object is ready to make the following external request: 'IDataInitialize::GetDataSource'.450943 User: Diagnostic ETL 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 2007-06-08 13:35:17.000 ExternalRequest_post: 'IDataInitialize::GetDataSource succeeded'.

Execute Package Task

Mar 16, 2007

I am using many Execute Package Tasks in a DTS packages to call a number of other DTS packages. The problem is that when I change one of the called DTS packages the execute package task does not run the updated packages. It looks like the execute package task references a Package ID guid instead of the name. Is there a way to make it so a change to a called DTS package will reflect in all references to it

Execute Package Task

Jul 21, 2007

I am missing something simple that's killing me.

I am trying to execute a child ssis package using the execute package task. I add execute package task to the parent package and in the package task editor, under the package options I choose: filesystem for location, I choose new connection and create a connection to the package on the filesystem I want to execute, packagenamereadonly is blank. I execute the parent package and get an error that I did not specify the name of the package in the execute package task object. Now, since I can't populate the package name, as that option is readonly, I am not sure how to remove my headache. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong? None of these packages have security.

DTS - Execute Package Task Problem

Apr 21, 2006

I have five DTS packages on a server.

Instead of executing these DTS packages individually, I have decided to create a 'parent' DTS package that will fire off each of the five 'child' DTS packages using 'On Success' precedences.

This seemed like a pretty straight forward task, but when one of the child DTS packages fails, the 'parent' DTS package continues to execute the next 'child' DTS package through the 'On Success' precedence. I was expecting the 'parent' DTS to fire off an 'on failure' precendence and stop executing

Can anyone tell me why the 'parent' DTS package continues with the 'on success' precedence after one of the 'child' DTS packages has failed.

Thanks in advance.

Execute Package Task Behavior

Jan 20, 2006

I��m using a For Loop container to with an Execute Package Task inside, looping until a folder is empty. I��ve noticed some strange behaviors:

1. The child package keeps creating new connections. I start with 3 connections to the DB and when the For Loop container is done I��ve got 364 connections.
2. The Execute Package Task is pulling the wrong version of the package I��ve specified. I��m using a package saved to the File System and there��s only one copy on the drive. I��ve verified the path is going to the correct location.

Does anyone have a work-around for the ��connection generation�� issue?

Execute Package Task Fails

I have added a package from SQL Server to another package as an "Execute Package Task" it fails with this error:

The LoadFromSQLServer method has encountered OLE DB error code 0x80040E14 (Only the owner of DTS Package 'nVision_AgentPump' or a member of the sysadmin role may create new versions of it.). The SQL statement that was issued has failed. .

I tried setting the Protection Level to "don't save sensitive", and running the package in process and out. Any idea where to look?

Execute Package Task Error With UNC

Mar 3, 2008

Hi All,
I have strange problem. I have a package task that is setup to run a package from a file source. The package ran fine originally but VS placed a shared drive letter for the path. I went back to change it to a UNC path and now the package fails and gives an error saying the connection is not valid and that it failed validation. Going back into the connection manager to check the path and it looks good, even pressing the Browse button shows the correct directory.

What am I doing wrong?

Mission: Execute Package Task Successfully!!!

Oct 21, 2002

Currently, I'm developing an ETL program using Microsoft DTS on SQL Server 2000.

I've completed unit testing & component testing for all inner packages containing various types of executions - SQL task, ActiveX Script task, Error Handler, Transform Data task, Data Driven Query & Dynamic Properties task.

When unit & component tested, all inner package properties-"Limit the maximum number of tasks executed in parallel" is defaulted to 4.

However, the integration testing is failing because I've yet to successfully execute any of the Package tasks in the outer package, which runs & controls all inner packages from the outer package.

The error message encountered was:
---------------------------------------------------------------
| Error source: microsoft dts |
| Error description: execution was cancelled by another user. |
---------------------------------------------------------------

Please explain what might be the cause to this problem when I'm executing the outer package?

DTS Package: Execute Process Task && Parameters

Jul 27, 2004

Hello,

I have several DTS packages that take data from SQL Server and exports them onto an Access DB located on the network. Basically, one Execute Process Task from within my DTS package takes the Access DB and zips it while another such task copies the zipped DB and pastes it onto another location on the network. All this works fine.

This export process happens once a month so each month I have to manually add a datestamp to the end of the Access DB file that�s being exported to distinguish it from prior month's export. For example, this month's export file would have AccessDB_20040727.mdb name and the next month it would be AccessDB_20040820.mdb (date is determined based on the date the output is exported on). AccessDB.mdb is the default name of the export DB and datestamp is added at the end of the file name depending on what date the export was run. As I said, I can do this manually each month and it works fine.

I want to, however, know if there is a way to automatically supply the datestamp to the Execute Process Task's Parameters' text box? Following is what I have right now in the Parameters box:
\ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All_20040727.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb

I want to take above text from the parameters box and replace it with something like:
\ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406FileName_RunDa te.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb

Where FileName_RunDate is a variable/placeholder for the name of the output with the datestamp the output is exported on.

There are three different Execute Process Tasks that are happening within each of my DTS packages so it's a time consuming job to have to manually add a datestamp to each package every month when data is exported.

Does anyone know if what I am asking is doable? If I can use a variable in the parameters box of each Execute Process Task�s properties and supply current datestamp values to it prior to executing the package each month? If so then what are the ways? How would I do that?

Thanks much.

Execute Package Task In A Loop Works, But...

May 3, 2007

Okay, can someone explain why when I execute children packages within a loop that only a couple of them work?

When I first started this I had Child Package 1 and Child Packge 2 working from the Parent Package 1. It would loop through twice (I had 2 organizations in my outer loop) and pass in the Parent Package variables correctly.

I am using a simple "Foreach Item Enumerator" with a collection of string enumerators that are the Names of the children packages - these are assigned to a variable that is scoped to the outer loop.

Now, when I add a new Child Package 3 and set it up the same as the other 2, when it goes to execute Child Package 3 it fails with the error:

"Error: The connection manager "[My Package Name].dtsx" is not found. A component failed to find the connection manager in the Connections collection. "

What in the world have I done? I was under the assumption that since the first 2 packages worked, that any other packages I added would work the same.

Execute Package Task And Configuration Files

Nov 25, 2006

Hi all

For selecting different load targets we use package configurations to override the connection parameters in the connection manager.
To organize the different tasks we splittetd our load processes into multiple package files (dtsx) which are then put together into a workflow using "Execute Package Task" component.
With the option /CONFIGFILE its possible to override the configuration file for the package that is called with DTExec. Unfortuanetly it does not override the configuration of subpackages calles by the "Execute Package Task".
Are there some ways to configure subpackages on the command line?

Execute Package Task With SQL Server Location

Aug 1, 2007

Have written a SSIS package which in turn runs a couple of child packages via the Execute Package control flow task. All is fine if I use a Location of File System for the task. However when I deploy to production I'd like the main package and it's child packages to be under SQL Server.

I can set the Execute Package task location to SQL Server after copying my packages into a development SQL box and again it works. However as it's now executing the package from SQL rather than wihin BIDS it doesn't give me the debugging/flow information for the Child package when I run the parent package. It's also a bit of a pain because even though all the packages are part of the same solution if I make a change to a child package I've got to remember to re-save a copy of it to the SQL database.

Have looked into seeing if I can make the location field for the Execute package task configurable so that I could run as a File System package within BIDS but as a SQL package in production but the Location field doesn't seem to be exposed as a property for the Execute Package task so can't set this as an expression or from a configuration.

Does anyone have any advice on using the Executing package task for child packages which are stored in SQL.

Using Package Variables As Parameters In Execute Sql Task

Feb 23, 2006

Hi,

I need to run an SQL command, in which one of the fields is based on the current time, represented as a string in a specific format.

I used a script task to create the string from the current time, and store it in a package variable named "newDate". Later, in the execute sql task, I have the following update statement: "update table_1 set field_1 = ?" (OLE DB connection is used)

and in the parameters mapping I set parameter 0 to the string package variable "newDate".

The problem is that on runtime, the sql executes with the default value of the variable - i.e. it doesn't take the new value.

I checked it and placed another script task after the first one, that simply tries to read the variable "newDate" and print it to screen, but even here the default value is used.

how can I use the new value of the variable?

thanks.
