DTS: Want To Execute From Within A Sql 7.0 Scheduler Step
Aug 13, 2001
I have a DTS package that I want to execute from within a sql 7.0 scheduled task step. I tried the following and got the following error on the DTS step:
Operating System Task:
dtsrun /S 'Server1' /E /N'REFRESH'
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)
Have 10 pkgs in an SSIS solution. All share a common data source but none of the pkgs call each other. I store everything on the hard drive. I build the solution and it builds all the 10 pkgs and places the 10 pkgs in the bin folder.
When I call a pkg from a job step, do I just want to point to the pkg in the bin folder. It works either way, calling the pkg in the bin and non-bin folder. Im thinking I should call the one in the bin folder. Or should I be calling the pkg somehow with the syntax - MySSISsolution.Pkg3?
Since I install SQL 7 SP3 twice, in EM/DTS/local packages, open any pacakage, right click one of the step, one of the drop down item 'execute step' was missing. Does anyone know how to bring it back?
I would like to create a job in my database to be occurring once a day. This job runs a dts package for transfer data in some tables that we have in other kind of database(Access). The Dts package first delete the rows and then insert the new rows.
I have defined the relationships in my database. I want the job to be Step 1: run the d:sqlscriptsDrop_relation.sql Step 2:execute dts package Step 1: run the d:sqlscriptscreate_relation_w_2006.sql
I couldnt find a command like sp_execute d:sqlscriptsDrop_relation.sql a command that i can run an in query analyzer. Has anyone any suggestions?
This is a bug that I submitted to Microsoft. I wanted to see if anyone could assist me with a work-around.
1. Create a new DTS Package 2. Add an ActiveX Task and change 'Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success' to 'Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure'. 3. Running this package will result in a Failed package. 4. Save Package as 'Failure' to local server
5. Create another new DTS Package. 6. Add an 'Execute Package' task, and configure the properties to have it launch the saved 'Failure' child package. 7. Add an ActiveX task and then click ok to close it. 8. Select the Execute Package task (which executes the failure package), hold control and click the ActiveX task. Add an 'On Success' Precendence constraint from the 'Workflow' menu.
9. Now execute the package. Notice that the ActiveX task will execute even though the Execute Package task FAILED.
10. If you change the Precendence constraint from 'On Success' to 'On Failure' the ActiveX task will not run, because the package thinks that the Execute Package task completed with success.
In summary... if a child package, executed by an Execute Package task fails, the Execute Package Task ALWAYS "reports" success to the following precedence constraint and the package continues to run. Even if 'Fail Package on first error' is enabled. Although you will see that the task actually failed while watching the status of the package execution.
I am currently trying to write vbscript in an ActiveX task that will follow an Execute Package Task. I am trying to make the vbscript check and see if the previous task really did succeed or fail, and then make the ActiveX task succeed or fail as required to make the precedence constraints work properly.
I have replicated this problem on many different machines.
Any ideas for my ActiveX task? I am trying to access the StepExecutionResult from the Execute Package task, and I have been unable to. If I can get the Step Execution reult, then I can in turn cause the ActiveX task to suceed or fail, based on the execution result of the Execute Package task.
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
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?
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?
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?
I want to convert .rdlΒ to .rdc need full steps.Actually i created .rdl report using sp sucessfully.Now i want to convert it to rdlc while doing it iam getting some authentication error and some thing else.I created rdl in 2008 and i want to change it to rdlc 2010.
I hope the answer is as simple as the question -- but after reading all the documentation I could find (understand?) and a lot of posts here, I'm no closer to achieving the goal.
I have a Visual C# app, DAYTRACKER, developed in VS2005. It uses a database with several tables constructed using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I want to deploy the app plus the database plus SQL Express to another machine, to be used by a single user (the administrator) with no need for network connectivity of any kind.
What I have so far is: 1. The application is successfully deployed from a CD-ROM, having used the Publish process within VS2005, and opens on the new machine -- without database connectivity, however. 2. SQL Express is successfully deployed (it deployed as a 'prerequisite' when I went through the Publish process in VS2005) 3. I manually copied the database's .mdf and .mdl files, using SQL Server Managers 'Copy Database' function, then transferred the copies to the new machine into the ..MSSQL.1MSSQLdata folder (where they appear along with the master.mdg, mastlog.ldf etc files)
Now, the DAYTRACKER application's DAYTRACKERConnectionString under 'Settings' in the VS2005 studio reads 'Data Source=DELL3;Initial Catalog=DayTracker;Integrated Security=True' (which are the appropriate parameters for the machine, DELL3, on which I wrote the program.)
The problem, of course, is that SQL Express on the new machine doesn't connect the application to the database. When I go to the 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' and go to the 'SQL Server 2005 Services' and double-click on the 'SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)' icon (the service is running) and the user is logged on using 'Local System Account'. Under the 'Service' tab the Host Name is 'MUSIC' (which is the name of the new machine I've installed the app onto -- which of course is not the name - DELL3 - that the app's connection string is expecting). Under the 'Advanced' tab, I've tried correcting the name of the Startup Parameters default .mdf and .mdl entries to ..DayTracker.mdf and ..DayTracker_log.mdl, but the server won't start up after I make the changes.
What I'm hoping for: a step-by-step way of doing this type of deployment, preferable getting it all onto one CD-ROM, and installing it on the new machine so that it all works seamlessly from the start, not requiring any 'tweaking' of the SQLServer Express settings by the end-user.
But I'll take pretty much anything that fixes the specific db connectivity problem I've described.
Hi, I have to transport a big database table and can't read it at once with "select * from table" because the table is bigger than my system memory. Is there a way to read the table step by step? I thought it was possible with ADO and his serverside cursors but I don't now how. I need an "universal" solution that works on SQL Server 2000/2005, MySQL and Oracle.
Connecting to a networked SQL Server Box from my local machine
Open Query Analyzer from Start menu, logging in using sa account.
from the object browser i select my stored procedure (WEA_InsertClaim) - right click and select Debug.
i am prompted to enter the parameter values, which i do, auto rollback checkbox is checked - click Execute.
T-SQL Debugger opens and runs through the stored procedure.
but only buttons enabled are the "Go", "Toggle Breakpoint", "Clear All Breakpoints"
so i can set breakpoints etc. but when i select Go it will not stop at the breakpoints it just runs through the stored procedure from start to finish. giving the correct return code as its output
is there something i need to enable in order to make it stop at breakpoints??
Is there a good step by step guide to setting up an indirect configuration? I've followed the steps in Kirk Haselden's 'Keep your packages in the dark' article 3 or 4 times this afternoon and nothing seems to work. I cannot even get the XML configuration file to work by accessing it directly. I'm using the wizard to create the file.
Just wondering if there was something else out there....
I posted this on the sql server security forums too. Here is the error that i get when i change the type of the step to ssis

This error pops up right after i change the type of the step to "SQL Server Intergration Services Package"
I have made the following configurations:
The user group (windows group) that the user belongs has the following roles in msdb :
i have made a proxy to sql server agent which has the following subsystems :
"SQL Server Integration Services Provider" the proxy is tied to the same login which has those SQLagent and dts roles in msdb database.
Im using windows authentication and the user that logs into the sql server is in the same group that i have set all of the rights.
Ps. Clearly im missing some role or right somewhere because as soon as i give the group sysadmin role then all the users in that group can create SSIS steps in the agent.
Ps. Ps. I have been living under the impression that i dont have to give sysadmin rights to people that create ssis packages and schedule then with the agent.
I am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:
select * from vProductProfitability
where year = 2003 and
MonthNumberOfYear = 1
The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.
I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.
Dear Experts, please guide me for replcation..... i'm using sql server 2005 server tools developer edition. my OS is professional 2000. and i've sqlserver 2000 client tools also
i've two databases in my machine. publisher is in different instance, and the transactions might be maximum 50 per day. my aim is when ever developer enters the data into the main database, automatically it should be updated on the my two databases also. i mean the server is sysA and the database is srtp. my machine is sys20 and the databases are srtp1, srtp2. how should i make sysA as publisher? i've right click on the server databases, but it is showing newsubscriptions option only.

I have a scheduler doing ftp and bcp to SQLserver. How do I check the file size is greater than 0 after ftp completed? (right now I am using xp_cmdshell to execute ftp command and return 0 always, even the file did not get transfer successfully).
DECLARE @result_ftp int, @result_bcp int EXEC result_ftp=xp_cmdshell @ftpbat if (@result_ftp=0) ???? xp_cmdshell always return 0 ???? BEGIN EXEC result_bcp=xp_cmdshell @bcpbat if (@result_bcp=0) print ' ## BPC Successfully##' else raiserror("BCP Fail", 16,1) END ELSE print ' FTP fail' return Go
Currently i am running a large sql server 2000. Usually when i need to generate reports, i will need to query using query analyser and paste the result in excel. This process is very tedious as the query takes long time due tolarge data. Also my reports have the frequency of daily, weekly and monthly.
I am looking for a job/query scheduler to automate this process and publish the result in excel.
I understand that DTS can only schedule a query to run but extracting the data to excel and Reporting Services does not have scheuler.
Please advise if there is any s/w or application can do this. Any freebies?
I am have problems running a couple of jobs. It makes no sense. I have checked and made sure the agent service is running the same user level permissions as I am. I run the job manually from SMS and it works fine.
User is a Windows Login.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What is the best way to run a scheduled task that fires off three scripts that need to be run sequentially? I could set up three different tasks but I don't know exactly how long each will take and they are interdependent.
I have several DTS packages that I run in steps thru the scheduler. The only one that is giving me grief is one that extracts large amounts of data from an Oracle database. Any extract that is less than 30,000 rows is fine but more than that, only the last completed batch that keeps the rows returned under 30,000 will write out to either a new table or to a file. Not only do the rows not return, but it holds open any file that is being used (the one it is writing out to as well as the errorlog file.) I have changed batch sizes, max error counts, timeouts and every other variable I could find to no avail...The job immediately 'completes' its execution with a good return code but that appears only to be 'I sent your request off to Oracle' which releases the next step even though the data hasn't been returned (an issue I will tackle once I get all the data.) My Network folks and Oracle DBA are telling me that there are no size restrictions for passing the data back.
Any ideas where I have strayed off the path? Thanks for your help.
We have created a Job in the SQL server Agent to execute some of the tasks which will load the data from XML to DB. These jobs will run exactly 15 days then they will get hanged. We need to restart the server to start the job again.
Could anybody give the suggestion to solve this problem.
our sql 05 server running on 64 bit slowed down and became non-responsive after getting this initial message Non-yielding Scheduler and then flooding the system with this message and become non-responsive.

i restarted the server as , i could not stop the services running , as the view processess window in sql server had become non responsive and i could not kill or even view the processes ...
no idea what caused it or how this can be stopped from happening again,
please advise if you have encountered this problem
Hi Guru,Our HR sql 2000 production server is 800.760 built (SP3a) with 2GB ofRAM and 2 CPU hiper threading. This server is very low activity whereprocessor runs average 1-3 during the day. However, in the last twomonths, I've seen the following message occurred a few times on thisserver.Error: 17883, Severity: 1, State: 0The Scheduler 2 appears to be hung. SPID 0, ECID 0, UMS Context0x0381F660.I did extensive research and read both KB 815056 and 10885 but I couldnot correlate these KBs in to my issue. The reason is, I don't thinkour server is very busy to cause the checkpoint process to be delayed.The database keeps growing only 5-10MB in a week and I allocated thespace during off hour.What is the solution to fix this issue? Will I fix this issue byapplying the hotfix MS03-031?Thanks so much,Silaphet,
