Exec Process Task Problem
Apr 16, 2007
I am trying to use a variable in an Execute Process Task
Here is my code that I use to set the variable and it works and has the right information:
Public Sub Main()
Dim serverNamePart As String = Mid(CStr(System.Environment.MachineName()), 1, 5)
Dts.Variables.Item("gvServerName").Value = (CStr(System.Environment.MachineName()))
Select Case serverNamePart
Case "ATCDE" 'Development server
Dts.Variables.Item("gvAppServer").Value = "ATCDEVRPNAPP01"
Case "ATCIN" 'Intergration server
Dts.Variables.Item("gvAppServer").Value = "ATCINTRPNAPP01"
Case "ATCDE" 'Development server
Dts.Variables.Item("gvAppServer").Value = "ATCQARPNAPP01"
Case "LTC1P" 'Development server
Dts.Variables.Item("gvAppServer").Value = "LTC1RPNAPP01 LTC1RPNAPP02 LTC1RPNAPP03 LTC1RPNAPP04"
End Select
' MsgBox(Dts.Variables.Item("gvServerName").Value)
MsgBox(Dts.Variables.Item("gvAppServer").Value)
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
On my Execute Process task I have User::gvAppServer as my StandardInputVariable but when I execute the task I get
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:RPNUtilityinAutoTransmitCall.exe" "" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
If I take out the StandardInputVariable and hard code the value in Arguments it works. What am I doing wrong?

Dear list
Im designing a package that uses Microsofts preplog.exe to prepare web log files to be imported into SQL Server
What Im trying to do is convert this cmd that works into an execute process task
D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad>preplog ex.log > out.log
the above dos cmd works 100%
However when I use the Execute Process Task I get this error
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe" "" at "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad", The process exit code was "-1" while the expected was "0".
There are two package varaibles
User::gsPreplogInput = ex.log
User::gsPreplogOutput = out.log
Here are the task properties
RequireFullFileName = True
Executable = D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe
Arguments =
WorkingDirectory = D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad
StandardInputVariable = User::gsPreplogInput
StandardOutputVariable = User::gsPreplogOutput
StandardErrorVariable =
FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue = True
SuccessValue = 0
TimeOut = 0
thanks in advance

How do I use the execute process task? I am trying to unzip the file using the freeware PZUnzip.exe and I tried to place the entire command in a batch file and specified the working directory as the location of the batch file, but the task fails with the error:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeeklyUnzip.bat" "" at "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeekly", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Task failed: Unzip download file
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" finished: Success.
Then I tried to specify the exe directly in the Executable property and the agruments as the location of the zip file and the directory to unzip the files in, but this time it fails with the following message:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
Task failed: Unzip download file
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" finished: Success.
The command in the batch file when run from the command line works perfectly and unzips the file, so there is absolutely no problem with the command, I believe it is just the set up of the variables on the execute process task editor under Process. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Monisha

I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
WorkingDirectory : C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM
Executable : C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIcustomer.bat
The customer.bat file will have the following code:
tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1"
the .sql file will be generated at: C:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1.
The Problem:
The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIpackage_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
Can anyone help ?

Hello, I am very, very new to the world of SSIS and from a totally different platform (iSeries), learning, digging and finding golden nuggets as I go.
Two questions please.
Question One:
I am presently encountering the following exception.
SSIS package "DW.CUST_CNCL_ORD.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC00291E2 at BP Parter Exec SQL, Execute SQL Task: There is an invalid number of result bindings returned for the ResultSetType: "ResultSetType_Rowset".
Task failed: BP Parter Exec SQL
Warning: 0x80019002 at DW CUST_CNCL_ORD: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "DW.CUST_CNCL_ORD.dtsx" finished: Failure.
Try as I do to find information regarding this exception, I am not able to. Can anyone share their wisdom on this topic?
Question two:
Is there a book that you may recommend that will contribute to my learning this new platform and evironment? I presently have the SQL Server 2005 integration services book.
Thank you in advance for any information you may provide.
God Bless.
Thanks,
Carlos.

Hello,
I am trying to use an Execute SQL Task to execute a stored procedure with parameters in SSIS but it keeps giving me errors, for example I type in 'exec someproc ?, ?, ?' in SQL Task it wouldnt parse correctly and when I set the bypassPrepare to 'true' the package runs but gives me error at the destination saying couldnt find stored procedure 'someProc'.
Does anybody know how I can solve this problem?
Also how do I pass the results of the queries in the Execute SQL Task into the Data Flow Task? The proc is supposed to retrieve data and transform them into XML format to be placed at a XML file. I am not sure if I should used an OLEDB source or an XML source since the data has been transformed into XML. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, we got a problem that I hope you guys can help us with.
We are trying to extract data from a SQL database in XML format to a variable (string) using an 'Execute SQL Task'
In the task we are using an ADO.NET connection to the database which is fine and via direct input we are using this query.
SELECT
title,
initials,
surname,
username,
gender,
emailaddress,
addressline1,
addressline2,
addressline3,
town,
postcode,
country,
emailcontact,
postalcontact,
telephone
FROM
CRMCustRecords
FOR XML path('customer'), root('CRMData'), ELEMENTS XSINIL
In SSMS this is fine and returns an ok (to my eyes anyway!) XML resultset.
<CRMData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<customer>
<title>xxx</title>
<initials>xxxxxxx</initials>
<surname>xxxxxx</surname>
<username>xxxxxx</username>
<gender>x</gender>
<emailaddress>xxxx@xxxxxxx.xx.xx</emailaddress>
<addressline1>xxxxx</addressline1>
<addressline2 xsi:nil="true" />
<addressline3 xsi:nil="true" />
<town>xxxx</town>
<postcode>xxxxxxxxx</postcode>
<country>xx</country>
<emailcontact>x</emailcontact>
<postalcontact>x</postalcontact>
<telephone>99999999999</telephone>
</customer>
<customer>
</CRMData>
However the SSIS task (running exactly the same query) is returning
<ROOT>
<CRMData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<customer>
<title>xxx</title>
<initials>xxxxxxx</initials>
<surname>xxxxx</surname>
<username>xxxxxxxx</username>
<gender>x</gender>
<emailaddress>xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx</emailaddress>
<addressline1>xxxxxxxxxx</addressline1>
<addressline2 xsi:nil="true" />
<addressline3 xsi:nil="true" />
<town>xxxxx</town>
<postcode>xxxxxxxx</postcode>
<country>xx</country>
<emailcontact>x</emailcontact>
<postalcontact>x</postalcontact>
<telephone>9999999999</telephone>
</customer>
</CRMData>
</ROOT>
I setup the query as a stored procedure and changed the SSIS accordingly. Running the sp from within SSMS was fine but the task still returned the wierd results.
This is completely unexpected and giving us headaches. It doesn't even look like well-formed XML to my eyes and won't display in IE without showing problems! Where are the eroneous /'s and ROOT nodes coming from?
I can't imagine we are the only people to have run into this and I'm sure we aren't doing something quite right - just stuck as to what we're doing wrong.
Hopefully I've provided enough info. If not just ask.
Thanks for any and all input

Hi,
I have a FOREACHLOOP container that contains an EXECUTE SQL TASK. The EXECUTE SQL TASK is executing a list of stored procedures from a table. This part is working.
However, I now need to send the output of each stored stored procedure to a flat file.
I dropped a DATA FLOW task inside the FOREACHLOOP container, and then created an OLEDB source and FLAT FILE destination on the Data Flow tab.
However, I'm not sure how this is going to work. When I click on the OLEDB source, Connection Manager, I thought I should select the Data Access Mode as SQL Command from variable. Then select the variable name.
But I get this error when I try to save:
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [42]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C
An OLE DB Recored is available. Source: blah
"Command text was not set for the command object"
What to do??
Thanks

Hello all,
I am running a package on a 64-bit server using the 32-bit dtexec. It contains an embedded Execute DTS 2000 package. I deployed the package to the server using the sa account. I set up a SQL Agent job that runs under an account that should have complete admin privileges. The network guys tell me that Legacy components have been installed (although I believe that shouldn't be necessary because SSIS is installed). This is SQL Server 2005, SP2.
When I execute this job, I receive this error message:
Executed as user: Domainuser. ...age Utility Version 9.00.3042.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

The contact information for the task is "Execute DTS 2000 Package Task;Microsoft Corporation; Microsoft SQL Server v9; ? 2004 Microsoft Corporation; All Rights Reserved;http://www.microsoft.com/sql/support/default.asp;1". This happens when loading a task fails. End Error Error: 2007-12-17 11:13:35.71 Code: 0xC0010026 Source: Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Description: The task has failed to load.

End Error Error: 2007-12-17 11:13:35.71 Code: 0xC0024. The step failed.
Is there any way to get this to run?
Thank you very much,

I am just trying to capture the return code from a stored proc as follows and if I get a 1 I want the SQL Task to follow a failure(red) constrainst workflow and send a SMTP mail task warning the customer. How do I achieve the Exec SQL Task portion of this, i get a strange error message [Execute SQL Task] Error: There is an invalid number of result bindings returned for the ResultSetType: "ResultSetType_SingleRow".
Using OLEDB connection, I utilize SQL: EXEC ? = dbo.CheckCatLog
EXEC SQL Task Editer settings:
RESULTSET: Single Row
PARAMETER MAPPING: User::giBatchID
DIRECTION: OUTPUT
DATATYPE: LONG
PARAMETER NAME: 0
PS-Not sure if I need my variable giBatchID which is an INT32 but I thought it is a good idea to feed the output into here just in case there is no way that the EXEC SQL TASK can chose the failure constrainst workflow if I get a 1 returned or success constraint workflow if I get a 0 returned from stored proceedure
CREATE PROCEDURE CheckCatLog
@OutSuccess INT
AS
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @RowCountCAT INT
DECLARE @RowCountLOG INT
---these totals should match
SELECT @RowCountCAT = (SELECT Count(*) FROM mydb_Staging.dbo.S_CAT)
SELECT @RowCountLOG = (SELECT Count(*) FROM mydb_Staging.dbo.S_LOG)
--PRINT @RowCountCAT
--PRINT @RowCountLOG
BEGIN
IF @RowCountCAT <> @RowCountLOG
--PRINT 'Volume of jobs from the CAT file does not match volume of jobs from the LOG file'
--RETURN 1
SET @OutSuccess = 1
END
GO
Thanks in advance

Hello all,
I have the need to connect to a network drive as a different user id when my SSIS package runs. If I stick the command into a batch script (forums don't play well with Opera, so sorry for code block not working)
@echo off
C:windowssystem32cmd /c net use \ServereeShare SecretPassword /usererverSecretUser
If I call that batch script from SSIS, at the conclusion of execution I'll have a share mapped. To ease deployment and maintenance, I want to refrain from using the batch script. So, I set my task as so
Executable: cmd.exe
Arguments: /C
WorkingDirectory: C:windowssystem32
StandardInputVariable: User::FileShareMappingParameters
StandardOutputVariable: User::FileShareMappingOutput
StandardErrorVariable: User::FileShareMappingError
and the rest are the default values. The value of User::FileShareMappingParameters is "net use \ServereeShare SecretPassword /usererverSecretUser"
My task does not fail nor do the output or errors variables get populated but I do not get my share. Anyone out there run into a similar situation or have a pointer on this one?

Hi,
We have an SSIS Execute Process Task which calls an executable along with the required parameters.
When we run this package, it intermittently gives the error as shown below in red
Executing "ppscmd.exe" "StagingDB /Server http://SERVERNAME:46787 /path OSB_FY08.Planning.dimensionECFuncArea /Operation LoadDataFromStaging" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0". End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 5:05:08 PM Finished: 5:08:40 PM Elapsed: 212.203 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
We are not able to debug this issue. We had a look at the logging information as well but we are not getting any information on this issue.
How can we resolve this issue ?
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

I am trying to exectue batch file which is located on other server. Can someone explain how to use execute process task?
I can see Executable ,Arguments, working directory, standard input v ariable, standard output variable, Fail task if return code is not success, success value when I open execute process task .
Also when I try to execute the batch file I am getting "Publisher could not be verified window and then its working after clicking the RUN button on the message. How can I avoid this in SSIS ?
For example I have the batch files located in some location \112.156.82.9\BATCHFILES\FILENAME

A batch file when being executed using the "execute process task"(DTS package) gives problems whereas the same batch file without any change when executed manually from the explorer runs fine.
The problem in debugging is that sometimes the same task runs fine and sometimes not....
The batch file contains code to extract a zip file(zipped using arj) to a paricular directory.
any ideas????

In the properties sheet for a DTS Execute Process Task, there is a input box for 'Parameters' which allow you to add command-line options to the task exe specified. How can you use the DTS Global variables to be passed in this parameter field? Is there a special format to indicate that the parameters are in fact global variable tokens?

We are attempting to use SSIS execute process task.
In a cmd.exe session the executable runs with normal arguments:
mycmd < myscript.txt > foo.txt 2>error.txt
We have attempted to several permutations of this without success. We declared variables and assigned them to stdin, stdout, stderr. However, mycmd opens in the SSIS session as if no arguments have been supplied.
Is there some expression that is required to connect the stdin/out/err variables in the Arguments within Execute Process Task. The help/examples are terse.

I am assigning package string variable to the StandardOuputVariable of a Process Task, and setting the TimeOut to 3, TerminateProcessAfterTimeOut to True, plus the Executable name. The program is executing about 40 seconds, and it seems not to terminate after the 3 seconds has passed.
When I execute the same package but without the StandardOuputVariable the task terminates after the 3 seconds.
Is this a bug or I shouldn't expect the task to terminate when the StandardOuputVariable is set???

Hi,
I have what should be a very simple process.
I have a FOREACHLOOP container, that is set up to loop through files in a directory:
Enumerator: Foreach File Enumerator
Folder: c:myfolder
Files: *.txt
Retrieve: Name and extension
Variable mappings: User::file_name, Index 0
So far, so good...
Then, inside the FOREACHLOOP, I have an Execute Process Task, which is simply a .bat file that I am running, and passing the name of the file to:
For example: myBat.bat file_name
In the Execute Process Task, I have:
RequireFullFileName: false
Executable: c:myFilemyBat.bat
WorkingDirectory: c:myFile
StandardInputVariable: User::file_name
Everything else is set to the defaults.
However, when I execute my container, I get the following error:
Error: 0xC0029151 at Execute Process Task, Execute Process Task: In Executing "c:myFilemyBat.bat" " " at "c:myFile", The process exit code was "1", while the the expected was "0".
Is there anything I am obviously doing wrong here at the package level? When I run the .bat file from the command line, it works fine.
Thanks

My problem is that I am trying to set up an Execute Process Task to run a C# executable. The .exe captures information from an ftp site and downloads it into a directory on our server. Here is the command line run:
C:SAXOEodinReleaseSaxoEod
I have set the Execute Process Task up as follows:
Require Full name: True
Executable: C:SaxoEODobjReleaseSaxoEod.exe
FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue: False
SuccessValue:0
TimeOut:0
WindowStyle:Normal
I have the FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue set to False because when it is set to true I get the following error:
Error: 0xC0029151 at Execute Process Task, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:SaxoEODobjReleaseSaxoEod.exe" "" at "", The process exit code was "-532459699" while the expected was "0".
Setting FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue to False does not work either because the files are not downloaded from the FTP site.
I am relatively new to the SSIS arena. I have googled this thing to death and have not found an answer. Any help in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Hi
I am having trouble running a package in SQL Agent. The step involves zipping up a number of files using SQL Agent. I know in the error message it states "Access is denied" but I can run the package manually in BIS. Also I have applied a SQL proxy to the step using my own credentials which have rights to the file location, but still no luck.
I get the following error:
Error: 2008-03-10 09:04:02.04 Code: 0xC002F304 Source: Call ZipFiles Batch Execute Process Task Description: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access is denied".

On an Execute Process Task, are there properties I can examine to determine the outcome of a process? I know that I can use a Success/Failure constraint to direct my workflow appropriately, depending on the outcome, but I would prefer the workflow continue on to the same task regardless, and then be able to change the flow later on based on the outcome of the process.
I see there is an ExecValueVariable property, and this may be what I'm looking for, but I have no idea what this is and can not find any documentation on it. I tried using it, but kept getting a runtime error trying to set it to a variable.
I know that a process returns a numeric value, and it would be nice if I could store this somewhere.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Greetings!
I am using a Excute Process Task calling a selfwritten EXE and I'm trying to pass a command line argument to it. The code for the EXE is quit simple:
Public Sub Main()
Try
Dim info As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs.Item(0)
MessageBox.Show("Info:" & info)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
According to the help files there are two ways to pass an argument, using the property Arguments, which I guess is for hard-coded stuff, and the StandardInputVariable for passing dynamic info.
When I use the Arguments property everything works fine. I get the info messagebox with correct data. But when I leave that blank and instead use the StandardInputVariable property setting it to my package variable User::Info then I crash into an exception meaning that no arguments existed (array is out of bonds).
The variable User::Info was at first filled from a previous SSIS task and using the OnPreExecute breakpoint I verified that it contained a stringvalue. I then hardcoded a string value into the variable, but nothing helps. The task refuses to start my EXE with the data in the StandardInputVariable as an argument.
Why is this not working???

Hi,
For the Execute Process task (such as for running .bat files), what is the "Working Directory" for?? Should it be set to the directory that contains the .bat file, for example?
Can't find any documentation in BOL.

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:

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.
