Execute Process Task Syntax Problem
Sep 3, 2006
Hi
I want the following command processed by the "Execute Process Task":
c:
elog.exe c:perflogslog.csv -f SQL -o "SQL:PerfCounters!PerfCounters"
relog syntax: relog [path to file] [-f: to SQL format] [-o to output SQL:Databasename!DSN"]
The name of the file I want to be processed by the windows relog utility is a variable which is created by another preceding task: User::Variable
In the "Execute Process Task" there are three parameters I have to use:
Executable: which I think needs to be relog.exe
Arguments: C:PerflogsUser::Variable -f SQL -o "SQL:PerfCounters!PerfCounters"
WorkingDirectory: C:WindowsSystem32
As you can see in the Arguments, it's not going to work but I can't figure out the syntax.
Has anyone got some experiance with passing arguments to a execute process task based on variables?
Many thanks!

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 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

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?

hi,
i have designed DTS packages, I have a script component that picks up the 'Path' of a file stored.
The Path is a column in database and that obtained from OLEDB source.
now i need to zip the files in the path given above and than store it in some location. How do I do that?

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.

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.

Hi!
I need help with some C# code. I have build a SSIS package with an Execute Process Task. I need to send dynamic variables in to my C# program so I thought it was a good idea to use the StandardInputVariable.
How do I get the variable in my C# code?

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:
\ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All_20040727.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb
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.

I'm just starting to find my way around SSIS, coming from SQL 2000 DTS, but I can't see a way of including a Win32 Console application's output into the logging process.
I've started playing around with SSIS Logs (OnTaskFailed etc..), but I can find no where to allow me to capture the output from a console app. In SQL 2000 DTS I could capture this by specifying an "output file" on the advanced tab of the job step definition. Is there something as straight forward as this in SSIS ?
I'd be grateful for a few pointers in the right direction.

I have a working directory set also.
However, there is an error icon on the task, and if I attempt to run it I get the following error:
Error at Execute Process Task [Execute Process Task]: File/Process "" does not exist in directory "copy O:myFoldermyFile*.txt D:myFolder".
Error at Execute Process Task: There were errors during task validation.
This command works fine from the command line. What am I doing wrong here?

I have a command to decrypt a file that I can run from the command line and it works beautifully. However, when I stuff it into an execute process task, it errors out every time or does nothing.
Here is the command I can run from the command line:
gpg -d --passphrase-fd 0 < c:Dip_Fif.WUZ -o c:Someoutputfile.in1 -r "KeyName" c:Someinputfile.in1.pgp
I've pointed the execute process task object to the gpg.exe executable on my system and am stuffing the remainder in the arguments line. I have also tried changing around all the timeout settings and sucess values. I have found I can change the success value to 2 and it will show up as being green when complete, but the file doesn't decrypt. It just in turn will throw an error on the next piece because the required file is not there.
I will probably end up writing a script to get this to work and use a script task but I really want to know why this will not work.
--Thanks--

When I run csvde from within an SSIS package's Execute Process Task, it does not return the groupType attribute, but when I run it directly from a command prompt, it does return that attribute. The csvde swiches are set the same in both cases:
-t 3268 -u -f allGroups.csv -d "DC=corp,DC=microsoft,DC=com" -r "(objectClass=group)" -l "groupType,mail,member"
The header line in the output file produced by the package is:
DN,member,mail,member;range=0-1499
while the header line in the file produced when csvde is run directly is:
DN,member,groupType,mail,member;range=0-1499
Has anyone else encountered this behavior?

Hi Guys,
I wonder if you can help with the following requirement.
I want to be able to conditionally execute an 'execute process task' depending on the result of a query. I have a table which I will select one record/row from upon each execution, this record has a char 1 'type' field which is the indicator for what process to then execute.
This should be quite a simple package and will be run every 60 seconds so needs to be as efficient as possible.
I am thinking I should go along the lines of using an Execute SQL task to select my row in to a result set, and using a series of precedence expressions to determine what process to execute. But im not really sure how.....
I am a newbie to SSIS and 2005 in general so would appreciate any help you can provide

I am running my "execute process task" in a foreach loop that uses two variables (file paths) from the recordset that feeds into it.
My executable line looks like this: C:Program FilesWinZipWZZIP.EXE ,
which runs the command line Winzip executable and my argument line looks like this: -rp @ZipArch @ZipTxt.
When I replace the variables with literal strings, the process works (only once, of course).
My Argument won't parse in the expression editor, nor does the process run when embedded in the foreach loop. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

I have an SSIS package which calls a command line app.When run in BIDS, it executes normally. The command line app is passed the arguments, does what it needs to do.When called as a SQL Agent Job (by the agent, or by me) it fails when calling the app, giving an exit code of 2 (which is an exception trapped by a try-catch). The SQL Agent service is running under my user (it's a test environment). The argument passed (from the log) is valid, and I've run it against the app, it provides the appropriate output.I can't for the life of me figure out what's going wrong.The app is passed an argument of a path and a password, and applies the password to the file, using interop.
