Error Running Child Packages From Parent Package - Error 0xC0011008

Mar 31, 2008



Hey...

I am running a parent SSIS package (running sp2, 9.0.3042) that calls several child packages.

On our development server, we now cannot run this because we get 1 or more of these errors:

"Error 0x80004003 while preparing to load the package. Invalid pointer . "
"Error 0xC0011008 while preparing to load the package. Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored. . "

It is not occuring on the same packages. It varies every time it is run.

I can run every one of the child packages individually, using the same login ID that the parent is executed under.

The parent package works fine on my local machine and other servers running the same version of SSIS. Just not on this server.

Does anyone have any ideas???

Thanks

Package Configuration, Parent-child Packages And Job Scheduling

May 3, 2007

Hi,

I've found this problem that when I change settings in my configuration file it does not automatically apply to all child packages which uses the same configuration file if run from a job in SQL Server Agent. I need to open the package and save it again from BIDS. I use one "load group" package to execute all other packages.

Is there a way from the job configuration to set a setting so the package allways will have the newest configuration?

Regards
Simon

Error Running Package From Parent

Nov 7, 2007

I am very new to SQL Server 2005, and I am currently trying to migrate a 2000 db to 2005.

I have now migrated all the DTS to SSIS, removing any legacy & replacing with new functionality.

I have been through a group of related packages ironing out any problems. They ALL now run fine when called individually.

However, I am now having problems with the parent package that is used to string these all together. It will not even run the 1st package.

For info, the first task of this package is a "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task". I am copying a few tables with data, but WITHOUT indexes, etc.

Following this, there is an "Execute SQL Task" that creates an index on one of those copied tables.

To get past another issue I had to set the "CopySchema" property of the "Transfer..." task to true, but did not select any schemas to transfer.

Now, when running the PARENT package, it is failing at the 1st step of the 1st package as follows:

Error: 0xC002F325 at Copy LT Data Tables, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: Execution failed with the following error: "ERROR : errorCode=-1071636471 description=SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The statement has been terminated.".
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.Hidden Hearing Limited$Telemarketer' with unique index 'IX_Hidden Hearing Limited$Telemarketer1'.".
helpFile=dtsmsg.rll helpContext=0 idofInterfaceWithError={8BDFE893-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}".

I have been searching and searching, finding similar problems, and even the same error codes, but nothing quite matching this particular scenario.

I have been trying to set the "DelayValidation" at various levels, but with no luck.

I would greatly appreciate any help in trying to resolve this. Has anyone else had the same, or similar, issue?

Many Thanks,
Simon

Load A SSIS Package Via Web Service: The Package Failed To Load Due To Error 0xC0011008 Error Loading From XML.WHAT IS THAT?

May 19, 2006

Hello,

I have a big problem and i'm not able to find any hint on the Network.

I have a window2000 pc, VS2005,II5 and SQLServer 2005(dev edition)

I created an SSIS Package (query to DB and the result is loaded into an Excel file) that works fine.

I imported the dtsx file inside my "Stored Packages".

I would like to load and run the package programmatically on a Remote Scenario using the web services.

I created a solution with web service and web page that invoke the web service.

When my code execute:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.LoadFromDtsServer(packagePath, ".", Nothing)

I got the Error:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsRuntimeException: The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.

The error message doesn't help so much and there is nothing on the www to give me and advice....

Is it a SSIS problem???

Thank you for any help!!

Error 0xC0011008 While Preparing To Load The Package

Jul 16, 2007

Hello all-



This post is for informational purposes only, as I have solved the issue. However, it was such a sneaky issue that I thought I would share.



I was working from home on a working SSIS package. I deployed via dtutil, and then ran it.

It failed immediatly with the error:



"Error 0xC0011008 while preparing to load the package. Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored."


Nothing on the web helped me.



Well, after about 10 hours of working with it I figured it out.



The first package loaded in SSIS is my parent package, which executes other packages stored in SQL Server.



When I first loaded up the package, my VPN was still connecting. Since I was not on the VPN when this package loaded, it could not validate.

Without any indication, my connection to the SQL Server storing the packages was invalid. All I had to do was open it, and click on OK.



So be aware... If the validation cannot take place, bad things can happen ;-)



Hope this saves someone some time.

Nested Parent-Child Packages

May 17, 2007

I have a fairly simple SSIS project that has nested parent-child packages.
I am trying to find the best way to manage the connections strings so as to make the package portable across machines and environments. Currently there is one "master" package which calls 6 child packages. 1 of these child package calls 3 child packages of its own.

For the database connections, I've settled on creating a standardized .dtsConfig file for each server/login. This is a relatively small number (intially 8) that I don't expect to grow much.

I've taken a different approach for the file-system connections used by Execute Package components that call the child packages. For each package that has child packages, I store all the connection strings (paths) to the child packages in a single .dtsConfig file. This works well for the top-level "master" package where I can pass in the .dtsConfig file (that has the paths to the child packages) as a run-time option in the Execute Package Utility.

However, this approach seems to fall apart for the 2nd generation package that in turn call 3rd generation packages because I don't know how to get the .dtsConfig file (with the 3rd generation .dtsx package paths) path to this downstream dtsx package.

Though I'm sure there are others, the only two solutionsI can think of now are
(a)don't nest packages beyond 1 parent/child relationship -- not really an option or
(b)Store the path of .dtsConfig files for each .dtsx package as an environment variable on each machine. This option is unappealing because it would require adding an environment variable for every .dtsx package that has child packages. I don't think it would take long for this to grow into a large number, that would make managing environment variables cumbersome.

So far my experience with SSIS has been that there was a simple solution for each scenario I had. So this hoop jumping I'm going through seems to indicate I am just missing something.

Is there a better way I am just not getting?

Debugging Parent / Child Packages

Mar 2, 2007

Hi there,

I have a Business Intelligence project containing 4 packages. One of the packages is a parent package that just runs the other 3 packages sequentially (passing in variables via Package Configurations).

When I set the properties of the Execute Package tasks in the parent package, it seems that I can only select SQL Server or File System locations for the child packages.

What I want to do is for the parent to run the packages in the Visual Studio Project so that I can debug the whole process. I don't want to be bothered deploying the child packages so that I can run them from the parent, at least not while I am debugging the whole process.

How do I get the children to run within Visual Studio as well as the parent? I can't for the life of me find anything on the MSDN about this.

Many thanks in advance.

Using Variable/Expression To Log With Parent/Child Packages

Aug 17, 2006

I have one package that executes 4 child packages (5 total). All 5 packages are set to log information using a connection string with a variable set at runtime for the location. The child packages use a parent variable to get the log connection string from the parent package.

The parent package logs fine, but a strange behavior occurs with the child packages.

The child packages all log data to the location used in the configuration file variable during runtime (like it's supposed to). However, I would get an error right before the first child package finishes execution saying path not found. Just for giggles, I created the folder I use in my development environment on the production environment. The error goes away, but the log file is created in that folder with no data in it. Subsequently, the log file with the data is created in the location set in the configuration file. Now I have two log files!!!!

Anybody know how to fix this?!

Parent/Child Packages And Transaction Option Not Working As Expected

Dec 18, 2007

Has anyone had experience of using Parent/Child packages while enlisting them in Transactions.
I tested this on a small sample and thought that I had got it to work, but in my real-world package it does not.

The parent package essentially calls three child packages.
In each child package there are multiple DFT's that import and transform data into SQL Server.
All data must be imported or not at all.
Therefore I created a FELC container into which three Exec child package tasks were placed.
The FELC is set to Trans Option 'Required' and the Exec child package tasks to supported.
Unfortunately upon failure of one of the DFT's in the child the data was not rolled back.

So initially we had in terms of container hierarchy for the Trans Option property:
Parent package Supported
FELC for calling child packages Required
Task execute child package Supported
Child package Suppored
Tasks Suppored



Looking at this more closely we thought that we would need
Parent package Supported
FELC for calling child packages Required
Task execute child package Required
Child package Required
Tasks Suppored



for it to work.
However, the latter now gives us failures with error messages on the tasks on the child packages.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "Conn ECARS1CEDImport". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.

Even more strange the first couple of tasks in the child pkg complete successfully even though they use the same connection listed in the error.
These tasks also have Event handlers.

Execution Of Child Package From Parent Package In Sql Server 2005 Integration Services

May 21, 2007

Hi,

I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.

I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.

if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.

To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".

My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.

Parent Package Variable Assignment Issue In Child Package.

Dec 26, 2006


We
have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using
ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.



While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the
packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.

For example:
Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned
properly to all other packages.

Similarly, in another package one of the
variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.

We
have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.


We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.

Please Help.

Configure A Child Package To Use The Configuration File Of A Parent Package?

Sep 14, 2006

Hi guys,

Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.

However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.

When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.

How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?

Hope someone could help. Thanks.

Resume Parent Package After Child Package Failure...

Apr 23, 2007

Hello All,



I have a SSIS Package with a "Execute Package Task" to call a child package. I am trying to have the master/parent package complete its execution regardless the outcome (failure or success) of the child package. The overall structure of the master package is:



1. Perform Pre-load tasks (stored procedure).

2. Execute Package Task (call child package)

3. Perform Post-load Tasks (stored procedure)



I have try everything and cannot get the results that I want... I have tried the combination of "failparentonfailure", "forceexecutionvalue", etc. The master package stops at childs failure. I would like to resume to completion



Any ideas out there?

SSIS Parent Package Can Not Find The Child Package

I have two SSIS packages in a project, one calling the other. The parent package works fine in my local mechine. After they are deployed to the production, I schedeul jobs to run the packages in the SqlServer. The child package works fine if I run it alone, but the parent package could not find its child package if I run the parent package . As I checked, all xml config files and the connection string pointing to the child package were set correctly. It seems the parent package did not use the xml config file. Can someone help me?

Parent Child Package With Expressions

Mar 6, 2007

Hi there,

sorry if the message seems a bit garbled i cannot see the textbox properly with ie7/ff


anyways. the situation.


childpackage contains a loop-container. in there i use an ole-db-source with a variable
based on an expression. ie. "select * from foo where bar=" + len(@[bar]) == 0 ? "initial" : @[bar] + " and etc=1"
where bar is the variable that is set by the loop.


this works great.


however i need to call this package several times, only the expression is a tad different.


so i need a scripttask that sets the expression correctly, then i call the childpackage
and map the current-expression to the expression in childpackage.


how do i do that? or am i doing it wrong?


my script-task looks something like:


dts.Variable("theVar").Expression = " ""select * from foo where bar="" + len(@[bar]) == 0 ? ""initial"" : @[bar] + "" and etc=1"" "


in the childpackage i have a package-conf that maps thevar to thequery with target-object expression.

Problem Of Parent-Child Package With ASP.Net

Jul 12, 2007

I have an ASP.NET application that calls a SSIS package. The SSIS package internally calls some other child packages. I observed that sometimes some child pacakges are not even called by the parent. and the behaviour is very indeterminate. sometimes they work fine. sometimes they don't. There is no clue available for this behaviour when the pacakges are not executed. (One general observation is that the memory consumption is very high. but that is the case always.)

I have enabled logging on all child packages. The log is not updated at all when the child packages failed to execute. i.e. the package execution does not start.

Could somebody explain why this is happening? any suggestions/ similar experiences?

Parent Package Is Losing A Child Package

Dec 4, 2006

I have a parent package which calls a number of child packages. Occasionally, I have one child package which starts up and appears to finish but the parent package never gets notification that the child has finished. If I view this in Management Studio's in Integration Services, I can view the packages that are running and only the parent package is running. Because it never gets control back, the next child package will never get started and the parent package will continue to run and never finish.

Any idea what could be happening??

Parent Package Call To Child Package

Apr 30, 2007

I run into some issues and really need some expert help here.



Here is the problem. I have two packages (parent.dtsx and child.dtsx). Both package have its own configuration file (parent.dtsConfig and child.dtsConfig). The file Child.dtsConfig contains a variable (i.e. "X") that is to be used by Child.dtsx.

Inside parent.dtsx. there is a package-task that calls into Child.dtsx. It worked perfectly well if I run parent.dtsx using Dtexec or from inside SSIS's IDE.



Now I want to programmably call "parent.dtsx" from my C# code. I loaded package using "app.LoadPackage"... Inside C# code, I want to reconfigure Child-package's variable ("X"). I then loaded in "Child.dtsx". However when I run "parent.dtsx" and child.dtsx still loads the original value for "X". The reconfigured value for "X" is not updated.



Please help on how to get around this issue.



Thanks.

Parent / Child Package - Connections, Variables Etc.,

Aug 13, 2007

In respect to Parent / Child packages, can some one correct me if I'm wrong.

Even if connection managers are created in Parent package, the same needs to be created in child packages if they need to connect to database. On the other hand I can just create connection strings in variable in parent package(instead of connection managers itself) and use parent package variable configuration to configure the connection string of child package with the variable value.

Sorry If I'm confusing


The same with variables, the parent variable needs to be mapped to a child variable(using parent package variable config) to be used in child package, it cannot be used as it is.

Thanks

Parent - Multiple Child Package Execution

Aug 24, 2007

I have a parent package "A", I also have 4 child packages "B","B1","B2",B3"
In BIDS, I created a file connection in the package "A" to connect to the child packages. So whenever I want to run B1 or B2, I change the path in the file connection to point to B1 or B2 and so on. Since the developement environment is File system this works perfectly fine.

But in the Test / Production environment all packages are stored in the Sql server. How can I paramaterize the child package connection so that I can use configuration / variables to select which child package to execute.

Thanks

Passing Multiple Values From Parent To Child Package

Dec 20, 2006

Starting with "How to: Use Values of Parent Variables in Child Packages" in the SQL Server 2005 Books Online (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345179.aspx), it seems I need to create a separate package configuration in the child package (of type parent package variable) for each variable I want to pass from the parent to the child. Is that really so? The XML configuration file type allows me to specify any number of variables; how do I do that with the parent package variable?

For that matther, why doesn't the Execute Package Task simply allow me to specify the values of child variables (or other properties) directly? It seems SSIS has made something as trivial as a series of function calls completely opaque:

MyChildPackage(var1=1, var2="foo");

MyChildPackage(var1=2, var2="bar");

MyChildPackage(var1=3, var2="baz");

I have a parent package that calls a child package, when I run the parent package the child package picks up a variable value from the parent in a script task and runs fine, the problem I'm facing is when I run just the child package, the script task fails because it doesn't know about the parent variable. The dilemma I'm facing is in my child script task, if I add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariables list then the task fails because the parent variable doesn't exist when I just run the child. If I don't add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariabls list then if I try to use it then the task fails saying that the variable doesn't exist in the variables collection.

Is there a way to check for the existence of the parent variable, so when I just run the child package I don't get an error and I don't have to change my task every time I choose to run the child package only vs running the parent/child?

Thanks.

SSIS Parent/Child Package Variable Passing

Feb 7, 2006

Hi

I have having trouble getting my hands around how to retrieve variables from a parent package. I read about the Environment variables and Configuration File at the parent package level and the Parent Package variable at the child level.

Here are my questions:

1. Can you only store/retrieve 1 variable in a config file at a time?

2. Does the child package have to define the variables and if so, do they have to be the same names as the parent package?

This seems so more more complex then the DTS2000 way of passing variables to and from packages.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Gordon Radley

Parent Package Doesn't Recognize Child Settings

Oct 27, 2006

I have two issues:

I have a simple parent that uses an Execute Package Task to call a simple child package. The child package has a Data Flow that I disabled. When running the child package by itself, the data flow task is bypassed. When running the package via the parent the data flow task executes.

Second issue is when you disable the package configurations in the child, the parent doesn't recognize that it's diables and tries to load the configurations.

It's almost like there are some settings in a child that get ignored by the parent??

Anyone else experience this?

thx
