Enterprise Manager Hangs When Trying To Edit DTS Package
May 22, 2008
We are on SQL Server 2000 SP2 version.
I have 3 DTS packages that are running successfully every day.
We need to change them as the source side tables are going to be changed pretty soon.
When I go into the designer view Enterprise Manager hangs when I do any of the following:
1. click on Properties for the transformation task
2. Click on Disconnected Edit
3. Click on Properties of connection 1(IBM DB2/400 Source), properties window pops up, now change the userid/pwd and click ok.
I am trying to look at TEMPDB properties in Enterprise Manager but it just hangs forever. I can look at props for all other databases on that server OK. The server is working OK but users reporting performance problems.
Also, how to increase the size of TEMPDB in T-SQL - I can see it is approx 200MB plus 300MB for the transaction log at the moment.
(Microsoft Windows 2003 Std Edition SP1, SQL Server 2000 Std Edition SP3)
Hi,I need help. I transferred my database from one server to another byusing attach detach process.I created all the jobs which existed in theold server in the new server. Everything looked fine but a couple ofjobs is a giving me some problems. When I try to edit the job step Icould see that the database dropdown list doesn't contain the databasename(which I transferred from the old server)Does anyone have any idea about it.ThanksArun
When I select All Actions>Backup Database and then click the ... button to choose a location on the hard drive, SQL Enterprise Manager Hangs and I have to kill it from Task Manager.
All other areas of EM browse the disk drive without a problem. (DTS, File Groups, etc.)
I have created a DTS package that pulls data from one column (varchar,600) in a table and exports it to a text file. The max length in this field is only 285 characters long, however, the end of one of the records is being truncated in the text file. Data is tab delimited in the table and is being exported that way.
I hope someone out there can help, cos i really need it. We have a 2 node cluster + SAN that will be used as our SQL 2000 servers. We have setup the cluster ok, and have tested failover with no problems. However, when we try to install SQL 2000, it just hangs. I have copied the enterprise cd to the local drive, and am installing from there. We run the setup.bat, create the Virtual Server, and assign an ip address. At this point, it just hangs. Upon checking the SQLSTP.LOG file, this is the last entry in the log: Begin Action : DialogShowSdDiskGroups
I have found the Microsoft Technet Article 293788, which gives me a possible soloution, but we dont have any Resource Names or Groups that have the same name.
Can someone PLEASE give me an answer on how to fix this, or at least point me in the right direction.
On one of our machines, all of the SQL Server 2000components except for the main Server component (SQL Servercore) itself were installed (Management tools, etc) a while agoand everything was running fine. Now I go and add/install theServer component and then Service Pack 3a.It seems that Service Manager won't start up (I get an hourglass cursor)and now I find that Enterprise Manager won't run as well. No errormessages appeared and I don't think I saw anything unusual inthe log file.However, I can use Enterprise Manager on a differentmachine and connect to the database (so the databaseitself seems to be running).Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how tofix it? I like to see if I can repair this without havingto do a reinstall.Thanks.PF
IF someone can assist me. Everytime I load up enterprise manager the service manager turns off. And the enterprise manager can't connect to the local database. But everytime i turn it back on and try to connect again it shuts it off and around and around we go. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I am using MS SQL Server 2000 SP3a on windows server 2000.
I have 4 FT indexs on 4 of my tables. They are schedules to run every day once. For the last couple of days the jobs are hanged.
When I tried to open Catalogs by clicking on 'Full Text Catalogs' enterprice manager hangs( not responding). I had to go to taskmanager and then click on end task to re-open the enterprise manager.
Also when I right click on one of the tables enabled with FT indexing Enterprise manager hangs up again.
If I cannt open FTCatalogs how can I rebuild them.
I am having problems of my DTS package hanging when run through the sql server agent through a scheduled job. If I execute the job manually it runs fine? If I run the package manually it runs fine? Of course there is no way to actually tell what is being hung? Any ideas?
HI, I created a dts package using my Windows NT authentication. One of my colleague edited that package last week and when I tried to open it now, it gives me an error message "The system cannot find the file specified". The package still has my NT id as the owner. Could anyone please let me know why is this happening ??? My colleague is still able to edit my package. My NT id and my colleague NT id both are setup as administrators on the sql server. Any help is greatly appreciated.
OK, I've figured out how to create and schedule my packages. now I want to go back in and redefine some of the options. How can I get at it so i can edit it.
I have a very simple SSIS package that executes a .bat file. Here's the actual file it executes:
@Echo Off c: F: cd ReportingServicesScripts rs -i NoteBlankSnapshots.rss -S http://10.90.160.13/ReportServerTest EXIT
The .bat file executes a Reporting Services .rss script using the rs.exe utility. When I run the command from the command prompt, it runs just fine. When I execute the .bat file manually, it runs and completes. When I execute the actual package, it also completes. But when I schedule the package as a job, it just hangs...it never finishes.
The owner of the job is an administrator in SQL Server. I have the SQL Server Agent configured to interact with the desktop - although my .bat file requires no input from the user.
I've created other jobs that just execute plain old SQL using the same owneer and these jobs complete just fine.
I have a SQL 2000 SP4 server running on Windows 2003 SP2. About 6 months ago I started experiencing problems editing existing DTS packages. At that time it was just 1 package. (I tested that I could edit all others but this one package the first time I experienced the problem.)
But now it seems like anytime we experience import problems, I cannot edit the package so that I can verify that the import file is good. (So far the initial problem is always with the import file and once we figure out what that is and resolve it the package runs ok again.)
The problem is I'm planning on migrating to SQL 2005 and since I can't import DTS packages, I'm going to have to rewrite them as Integration Service Projects. If I can't edit the workflow tasks in DTS, it will be time consuming figuring out what the actual import file is. Also, most of these imports are coming from our AS400 which we are phasing out so I have to rewrite these to work with the new ERP package we are going to as we bring on each division.
I have not installed any post SQL 2000 SP4 hotfixes. So if anyone is aware of a hotfix that resolves this issue, please let me know.
Dear Folks, I have a package that calls winzip to extract files(command line usage) in an Execute Process task. The package runs fine if I am logged in to the server. It hangs on the winzip task otherwise. The package is stored on the server (as opposed to the file system) & is run under a proxy account using the SQL Server Agent. I tried adding folder and WinZip32.exe permissions for the domain user who the proxy account was created under to no avail. Any Ideas? Thanks for your help!
When I set the transaction option to required my package just hangs when I try to execute it. The status bar says "Validating" and then the name of the first destination data flow component (whatever that happens to be). I've let it sit for long periods and nothing happens. Any suggestions?
Hello everyone, I am having an odd behavior with an SSIS package that transfers data from one database to another. It seems to me that with some of the larger databases the services just stops working (0% utilization) when it is almost done. I don't get errors and the job stays in the "executing" state.
This doesn't happen always, but it will happen once the package is ran many times over the course of the week, I was wondering if you guys could point me in a direction on how I can find out the source of these hangs. Right now I am leaning towards it being a memory issue (or other misc. hardware problems) but I would like to rule out that it is software first.
This is probably a st00p1d n00b question, but here goes:
I have a DTS package that I got from someone else, but it needs to be edited. It was set as a local package, but when I double-click it in Enterprise Manager and edit it, then save and quit, I can go right back in and changes are gone, as if it was never edited.
Well, lo and behold, I got the bright idea to edit the package using Notepad, then bring the package back into Enterprise Manager. Now it says it can't do it because it's no longer a DTS Package. Fortunately, I have another unmodified copy, or I would have really thrown out the baby with the bathwater.
So my question is: What do I need to use to edit the package offline, then be able to bring it back into Enterprise Manager as a valid DTS Package?
I found a problem in the SQL that's a part of a SSIS package written by a third party, which is in our SQL Server 2008 R2 database. I've discussed this with the third party person; she's given me the necessary changes to the SQL. But I don't know what to do next.We've got this package on a test database server. I've got SSIS open to Stored Packages and have drilled down to the necessary folders to find it. But beyond that I don't know what to do. I understand that BIDS is involved, but that's as far as my understand of it goes.
I have used the wizard to import a DTS package from a SQL 2000 server to our new SQL 2005 server and need to make edits to reference the new server and database. I am able to see the package within the SQL Management studio under Integration Services, but I cannot find it in the Development studio?
I was working on a flat file import spec yesterday, using the import wizard, and I saved my work as a SSIS package. Today, if I connect to Integration Services through SQL Management Studio, I can see the package, but I can't edit it. I've tried to open the package using BIDS, but I can't find it on the server. Obviously it exists, but where?
How the heck can I edit this package? And, where is it? I don't understand why things are so much more difficult in 2005 vs. 2000.
I have an SSIS package that executes in about 1:20min from Visual Studio on my local machine. While executing, my machine is somewhat unresponsive.
When I deploy the package to the database server -- the very same database server that I am accessing from my local machine -- the package executes but eventually hangs. It appears to be running out of memory, and I usually have to kill the process to get the machine to respond. While it's hanging, the machine is unresponsive to all users. The hardware (including memory) is identical between my local development box and the server.
How should I troubleshoot this? I've tried deploying the package to MSDB, file system, running from dtexec, and running from dtexecui. This is very frustrating!
I have data flow tasks, one which validates the import file and one which processes the import file if the validation passed. The validation runs and pushes the three row types to three different recordset destinations. When I enter the processing data flow task, I have three parallel trees processing each recordset saved in the previous task. I'm using a script component to generate the rows which are then sorted and merged with the production database to find existing records. Based on this, I split to an OLE DB command (running an UPDATE command) or OLE DB destination (to simply insert the records.)
In this particular case, all records are being updated and nothing is being inserted new. Two of the three trees will complete the sort but hang on the merge, split, and OLE DB command components. The other will do the same but also hang on the split.
In another case, I truncated each destination table before running the package and the package runs fine.
Are toes being stepped on in the data flow task and causing a deadlock?
Update: I removed the sort transformation and sorted the rows before pushing them to the recordsets and I still get the same results.
Is it possible to open a package that is saved to a server??
The reason being is I develop on desktop but some of the development I cannot do due to access restrictions.... So I want to save the package to the server then do the final creation there...
I have a number of packages that I have moved from an old server. Each package was scheduled with a SQL Agent job. On the old server everything ran fine. All of the packages run fine from VS, from DTEXECUI and I have tried one from the command line with DTEXEC and it worked.
When I run from the SQL Agent job, I don't get a failure, the package just hangs. I let one of the agent jobs sit for an hour with no progress. The package typically takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Below is the output from my package log up to the point that it hangs:
I installed SQL Server MSDE 2000 but I can't find how to start it. Does this package include an Enterprise Manager or not? I thought that maybe it was a standard XP Pro feature. I had no problem finding it in W2000 Pro.
