I just got assigned to help out with a couple of problems with the running of DTS packages using the SQL Server Agent, this is the problem and a list of what I've done so far:
There are 4 packages that:
a) Deletes all records from a table and then populates it using a flat file that contains that day's transactions.
b) Creates a report in Excel
c) Creates a summary report in Excel
d) Does a), b) and c) for another table.
All these packages are scheduled to run weekdays starting at 8:00 am, and they were owned by sa. Last month we had a massive change of passwords thanks to an audit and unfortunately the dba left without letting us know that password. After the massive change, these packages started failing with errors like:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 18 (DLYINVDT_XLS). The last step to run was step 1 (DLYINVDT_XLS).
The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 22 (AGAR830_dts). The last step to run was step 1 (AGAR830_dts)
Yesterday I went into all the packages and changed the connection properties from user sa to another user that has permission over the tables and ran the 4 of them at least 10 times each, both using my personal laptop and directly in the server (just wanted to check remote and local, even though I know it really has nothing to do with the execution that its always local to the server).
Now, the funny thing is that I came in this morning and guess what..... yeap, the packages failed, I can run them manually with NO problem at all, but if I run them using the SQL Server Agent then they just will not run.
At the time I was writing this I found out the password for sa, so now I'm using it but unfortunately no change, the errors now are :
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (AGAR830_dts)
I'm an informix dba and I started training myself in sql a couple of months ago so I'm confortable with what I'm doing, but at this point in time I'm about to throw something to the screen :) Since I can execute the packages manually then the users are happy, but I would really like to find out why the Agent is not working right.
I have an SSIS package that utilises a 3rd party ftp program to transfer files (over HTTPS). This software stores details in the users profile relating to addresses, user names and password for transfers. As this is the case the Package needs to be executed by the domain user who has the details set in their profile. The package needs to be executed at a scheduled interval - so I have set up an Agent job to do this, and have the the 'Run As' setting, as a proxy which maps to the required domain user.
The package works fine when executing manually when the required user is logged in. If, however, the user is not logged in - ie when the job kicks off at the schecduled time, the file transfer fails. On debugging I can see that the agent job does not load the user's profile -but instead uses the 'Default User' profile.
The job owner is set as the same domain user that the Run As setting for the step is set. The SQL Server Agent services runs as a different Domain user.
Has anyone else had similar problems - Are there any extra permissions I need to set?
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 try to run a job from SQL Server Agent to execute an SSIS package, but it always fails. However, if I execute the SSIS package directly, it will succeed.
The SQL Agent Job History shows "Unable to start execution of step 1 (reason: Error authenticating proxy DB1DB1_CREDENTIAL, system error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.). The step failed."
P.S. DB1 is my server name, DB1_CREDENTIAL is the account creating the credential
The SQL Server Agent Error Log shows "[298] SQLServer Error: 22046, Impersonation error. [SQLSTATE 42000]"
I've created an account on OS and assigned it to a credential. Then, I created a proxy with the credential and then created the SQL Server Agent job with that proxy.
P.S. My SSIS package protection level is created as "Rely on server storage and roles for access control", because if it is set as "Do not save any sensitive data", package execution will fail even I run it directly.
How can I successfully run SSIS package from SQL Server Agent? Do I lose any setting steps?
I'm trying to execute my package using schedule in SQL Server Agent, I've already tested my package by run it manually in Integration services and it works. The table created, the data from my flat file also inserted into the table correctly and the result return with success.
The question is why when I execute my package using SQL Server Agent, the SQL Server Agent keep executing my package like infinite loop until I stop the job. after I stop the job there is no error generated by sql server. Could you figured why this happen?? I've already tried to upgrade into SP2 and set the package protection level and still not get good result from it. thank you.
I have developed an SSIS package for ETL purpose. I am invoking the SSIS package through .Net console application by referencing the ManagedDTS Assembly. I am able to execute the package in Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition and it runs fine till completion.
But when i try to execute the packahe in Sql Server 2005 Standard edition, by invoking the package through .Net console application the status of the package is failure.
Can any one help me how to over come this problem.
I wrote package using Integration Services and tried execute it on Visual Studio 2003 (Visual Basic). Package was loaded, but execute method has failed without any error messages. When I tried to run it on Visual Studio 2005, execution was successful.
Codes: Dim App As DTSLib.IDTSApplication90 = New DTSLib.Application Dim p As DTSLib.IDTSPackage90 = App.LoadPackage("d: empPackage.dtsx", True, Nothing) p.Execute()
I created a Package that calls Three other Packages through the Execute package task.
I saved The main package and the sub-packages in Dontsavesensitive mode and Referred to the config file.
I checked the Package thru VSS and When iam running thru the Bat file iam getting the following error
Description: Error 0x80070002 while loading package file "C:Documents and SettingsUSERNAMEMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsImportFILEImportFILEPACKAGE.dtsx". The system cannot find the file specified.
Iam not sure why its asking for this path in the production server.
This is the initial path where i saved the package in BIDS environment.

I can't find any posts concerning this error. While executing the stored package (using Execute Package Utility). I get error: SSIS Execution Properties "Could not load package "File Systemmigration_package_1" because of error 0x80010112." The package is there and it was correctly loaded.
Please can anybody suggest what do do now or some workaround?
I developed my package in BI studio and tested runnning it through BI. Now when i have to deploy the package to main server it will be executed via batch job. This package requires an input file name too. Now when i am trying to run the package on my loacal box using following command on command prormpt i get error given below.

PLease let me know solution to creating batch job for executing this pkg with input param.
I'm in the process of writing a fairly complex SSIS package that reads csv files and goes on to load the content into a SQL Server 2005 database.
I am testing the package by executing it from within a Nant script. My test process resets the data in the target database and then loads data from a known set of test data files. Because it's scripted I can be sure that SSIS is being asked to do the same thing, every time in a consistent way.
When I execute the package I frequently (although not always) get an error message dialog mid-ececution that reads:
Code Snippet
Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime Library
Runtime error!
Program: C...
The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
When I click OK the VS Just-In-Time debugger tells me about an unhandled win32 exception in DTExec.exe [4696] and asks me if I wish to debug (which I do not).
No error is reported by SSIS itself, it literally just stops in its tracks.
I will appreciate any help that can be offered here
I'm at a loss as to why i am getting the following error:

I am calling the package from a C# application which i have installed within a citrix environment. The application works without any trouble on my development machine but as soon as i run the code that executes the SSIS pacakge i get the error. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is causing this?
I am using Excel VBA to run a stored procedure which executes a package using the built-in SQL Server stored procedures. The VBA passes two values from excel to the stored proc., which is then supposed to pass these "parameters" to the package to use as a variable within the package.
@Cycle sql_variant = 2 WITH EXECUTE AS 'USER_ACCOUNT' - account that signs on using windows authentication AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; declare @execution_id bigint
[code]....
When I try to execute the package, from SQL Server or Excel using the Macro I built, I get the following error:"The parameter '[User::Cycle]' does not exist or you do not have sufficient permissions." I have given the USER_ACCOUNT that runs executes the stored procedure permission to read/write to the database and the SSIS project folder.
while executing the package following error message is received as :
Error: 2006-07-28 15:12:36.60 Code: 0xC00470FE Source: Data Flow Task DTS.Pipeline Description: The product level is insufficient for component "Data Conversion" (202). End Error
and at the end as :
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1).
Same error appers while executed from Integration Services - ->stored packages - - >name of the package -> mouse right button, run package.
But the same executes perfectly from visual studio, where it is developed.
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)
And there is a task (Execute SSIS package) in First package that calls the execution of second package.
I m continuously receiving an error "Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PackagePassword" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available."
As we are running first package by job, job runs successfully logging above error
The protection level of second package is set to "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey"
I have an SSIS package that runs fine through command pormpt although when I try to run it from a SQL Servr Agent Job CmdExec step it bombs out. Please help this has me stumped...the SSIS package uses an XML connection string so certain key settings such as connection strings and email info can be changed easily. Currently this is all on the same machine. I have not moved it beyond where I am developing.
On the command line I am using the following command...

I am planning to develop a single package that will download files from ftp server, move the files to internal file server and upload it in the database. But I want to run this package for multiple ftp file providers. For each provider the ftp server might be different and the transformation to upload the files into a database table might be different.
So can I create a single package and then multiple configuration files (xml), which will contain the details fo the ftp file providers and then pass the xml file as a parameter while executing the package. The reason being that the timings of fetching the files is different for each ftp file provider and hence cannot be combined into one.
I would like to fetch the data flow component name while package is executing. Since system variable named [System::SourceName] only fetches name of the control flow tasks? Is there a way to capture them?
There is no SQL Agent forum so if this isn't the correct place please move this post.
Windows 2003 R2 x64 with SQL Server x64.
One of the steps in a SQL job I have setup requires me to run an exe. I can run this exe from the command line or by double-clicking it on this same server but when running it from a SQL job it does not run, the job just has the status 'executing' but does not do anything. I have enabled xp_cmdshell. I have also tried calling a bat file which then runs the exe and I have tried calling the bat file with SysWOW64cmd.exe. Same problem.
It seems to me the the operating system recognises the 32bit exe and runs it in that context but the SQL Agent thread keeps trying to run it as a 64bit exe and hence never gets anywhere. (My best guess)
Is there a way to force SQL job/steps to run an exe or bat file in a 32bit thread? Any other ideas.
Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with the sql server agent occasionally not executing its scheduled jobs, and unless the sql server agent is restarted they will not execute according to their schedule. I've read many posts on people having problems with running a package manually and then not being able to run it in a job, although that is not my problem since these are jobs that have all run successfully historically, and only until the agent is restarted do they start working again. It is the strangest thing.....we have many different jobs on this server and all of them will just mysteriously stop being executed. Two other things of note, the agent and server processes both run on AD accounts, and we receive this error:
SQL Server Scheduled Job 'X' - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2007-10-27 02:00:00 - Message: The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (ADadacct) of job 'X' has server access (reason: Unable to connect to server - check SQL Server and SQL Server Agent errorlogs).
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.
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 ?
I have a web application that I kick off a DTS package. I tested the package and it works fine. However, when running the package through ASP.NET, I get the following error:
Type mismatch. (mscorlib (80004005): Missing parameter does not have a default value. Parameter name: parameters)
I've traced it to a dynamic task step. I have this as the first step in the workflow, but for some reason, it is executing last. Which is definitely not the place where I want it. Is there anyway I can force it, or why is it doing that?
I am having trouble executing a package as a job in SQL Server 2005. I can run the package fine manually from sql server but when I create a job for that package and run the job I get an error that says
The package execution failed. The step failed.
I am completely lost at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
