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,

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 everybody,
Could anybody tell me how can I stop the executable program which I am using in Arguments field of Execute Process Task Editor window. My SSIS process based on three steps.
1. retrieve the file from FTP location
2. Process the file by using windows 32bit application
3. transfer the processed file back to FTP location
The problem occurs in step 2, it opens the win32 application for processing and it does process BUT after that it won't exit untill I close it manually, so it never reaches to step 3 if I don't close it.
Thanks in advance.
Zee.
We have a Process Task component setup in a couple SSIS jobs to call a command batch file to support transfering a file via Secure FTP to other servers and the process works fine if we start the SQL Agent job manually, however when the job is started via the scheduler, it fails with an exit code of 4. Even though there is a proxy setup on the agent job, is there a different user account being invoked by the scheduler??? We're on 2005 SP1 Hotfix 1 (2153). Thanks
Some more info...have found that if we leave a login session open on the server (login is the proxy account) the process works. It appears the issue is associated with a need to render/create a command window for the command line/batch process to run in and without an active windows session it fails....would seem to be that a product setup to run on a server in a batch mode would be able to work without this...is this the case? if so, how? Thanks.
Can anyone tell me how to capture the return code of a process launched by an Execute Process Task? I am able to capture the output by using the StandardOutputVariable but can't seem to capture the actual code.

I have a SSIS package that works 3 out of 4 times but it does fail occasionally with the following error.
The return value was unknown. The process exit code was 128. The step failed.
I have logging enabled ..but mysteriously the log has no information on the failure..
Any thoughts ?
thanks
Hi,
I am running a Sql Server 2005 job and this job is having 25 steps. Each step is calling the .dtsx packae from D: drive location. While running the job i found this error
"The return value was unknown. The process exit code was 128. The step failed."
This error occurs not for any perticular step. It occurs randomally at any step.
I am running this job on
1. Windows 2003 server with SP2
2. Sql Server 2005 (Developer Edition) with SP2
Can any one please help me out resolving this issue.

I'm having a hard time locating a listing of potential error codes and the meanings for the Execute Process Task component...can someone assist?
Thanks
I have changed a SSIS package last week. Now, I met the problem that the package sometimes failed both in SQL agent and the BIDs.
SQL agent just give the detail: Process Exit Code -1073741819. The step failed.
In BIDs,when I Check the log,there is even no error. But the last Infomation in the output windows is the package canceled. It just like somebody stop running package manually.
The more strange thing is the package sometimes succeed with running the same data.
Thanks for your help
I did a few searches and found nothing. Any ideas what this error means?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wish to have a batch file exit with a return code of 3 if it fails.
In the batch file I have the single command: Exit 3
On SQL Server the Process Exit Code of a successful command is set to 0.
Yet, when I run the job SQL Server says that it is successful.
Can someone tell me how i can generate an exit code (Cmdexec). Ive tried running an .exe file in a job but when i do that the job hangs. When i check the history it says the exit code is somewhere in 27000. Now i'm wondering if it is possible for me to generate an exit code if the executable closes.
PS. When i run the file from a batch file it works great
My overnight production job has been running for months. Duration is typically 40 minutes.
Last night it started and without doing anything, it stopped. There was nothing in the SSIS log.
SQLAgent task log reported
The return value was unknown. The process exit code was -10737418.
Usually, I can find something on Google when I enter the error code; not today.
Any ideas?
All suggestions welcomed.

I'm looking for a way to refer to a package variable within any
Transact-SQL code included in either an Execute SQL or Execute T-SQL
task. If this can be done, I need to know the technique to use -
whether it's something similar to a parameter placeholder question
mark or something else.
FYI - I've been able to successfully execute Transact-SQL statements
within the Execute SQL task, so I don't think the Execute T-SQL task
is even necessary for this purpose.
I want to pass in a text file to execute process task.Is it possible???????
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello 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

Hi,
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?
View 1 Replies View Relatedhi,
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?
Thanks

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".

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

HI,
Is it possible to provide variables ( multiple variables ) in the arguments parameters of the Execute Process Task?
Thanks

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.

Hi All,
Would you please clarify me how to use or setup Execute Process Task, i have seen the document from microsoft but i need more detail and if possible example how to setup. what does it mean by Executable, Arguments, Working Directory, StandardInputVariabl, StandardOutputVariable and some example respectively. And how do wee set them with example, especially taking taking zip/unzip executable file. Please i need help and make it clear example. I really appreciate for your time 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.
Thanks
