Hello,
I want to know detail execution flow of SSIS package (like Validation -> Expression evaluation -> Execution etc.)
Where can I get detail information, any reference (links)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Just needed an insight into the IF-ELSE construct w.r.t its implementation in SSIS or a similar methodology that could be adopted in SSIS while executing a Package.
Scenario : I want to Start with importing data from Different sources to SQL Server Destination. For Which, i define 3 different Data Flow Tasks each involved in importing data from an external source to SQL Server Destination.
1] Text File Inbound Task : Source - Flat File Source ; Destination - SQL Server Dest.
2] Excel Inbound Task : Source - Excel Data Source ; Destination - SQL Server Dest.
3] Xml Inbound Task : Source - XML Data Source ; Destination - SQL Server Dest
Finally i want to execute the package with an IF-ELSE Scenario which will Check for the external Source being :
IF External Source = = Excel file => Execute Excel Inbound Task
ELSE
EXIT
IF External Source = = Text File/Flat File = > Execute Text File Inbound Task
ELSE
EXIT
IF External Source = = Xml File => Execute Xml Inbound Task
ELSE
EXIT
I have a package that loads staging tables from an Oracle source DB. In the data flow tab I have 30+ read table/write table task combinations. When I run the package 3-4 of the read/write combos execute at a time. What I'm trying to control is the priority order of the combo execution. My goal is to minimize to total load time by having the larger table transfers run first and the smaller table transfers fill in until they are all complete. Currently, the largest table (16 million) transfers last (because it was the last combo that I created?).
Thanks,
Dave
Has anyone come up/determined a generic way to capture and log indicative information within a data flow in SSIS - e.g., a number of rows selected from the source, transformed, rejected, loaded, various timestamps around these events, etc.? I am trying to avoid having to build a custom solution for each of the packages that I will have (of which there will be dozens). Ideally, I'd like to have some sort of a generic component (such as a custom transformation) that will hide the implementation details and provide a generic interface to the package.
It is not too difficult to achieve something similar on the control flow level, but once you get into data flows things get complicated.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Hello all,
Is there documentation somewhere about multiple execution paths in SSIS control flow? I didn't find documentation anywhere. I have a situation where I have two tasks that take considerable time, but could be executed in parallel (to speed up things) and I was wondering whether SSIS supports parallelism.
To illustrate the issues in simultaneous execution, I created a test SSIS package. In the package, I have five tasks, let's call them T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. The taks are connected with "green arrows" like this:
T1->T2
T1->T3
T2->T4
T3->T4
T5 is not connected. The tasks can be e.g. Send Mail tasks, that's not relevant to this issue. I put a breakpoint in each task and execute the package.
When I execute package, T1 and T5 become active, i.e. the arrow that displays where the package execution currently is, is in two tasks simultaneously. Now F10 (step over) doesn't seem to work "Unable to step. Not implemented". If I press F5 nothing happens. After I press F5 for a second time tasks T1 and T5 and executed. Why don't they execute with the first pressing of F5? I would additionally like to know whether these two tasks are executed in parallel or sequentially, i.e. in the same thread or in two threads? Is there documentation of this?
The execution stops at T2&T3. Again, pressing F5 doesn't do anything, but the second time I press F5 T2 and T3 are executed.
Hi,
I'm building a package wherein I perform a SQL task(A) if the error log is not empty. This same SQL task(A) is also being used by another data flow task(B). The precedence points from B to A bottom to top. When I execute, all the tasks in the downward direction (precedence pointing downward/sideways) execute but this one doesnt as it points updwards. I can copy and paste task A and make B point to A downward, but I dont want to duplicate A in the same package.
Is there any other approach?
If you dont understand the above, see the flow:
X (SQL task) ----on success-------------> A (SQL task)
| ^
| |
...(sequence of steps) |
| |
| |
B(Data Flow Task) ---------failure --------|
Execution flow doesnt move from B to A, even though its a failure condition. Hope this explains the problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Subha Fernando
I would like to fetch the data flow component name while package is executing. Since system variable named [System::SourceName] only fetches name of the control flow tasks? Is there a way to capture them?

Hi all,
Which is the best way to execute SSIS packages? I have no problem to use dtexec command but I want it to run every night. Is this going to be done through the SQL Server (SQL Server Agent under Jobs)? Is the type going to be Operating System (CmdExec) or Transact Sql? How exactly is the command written there?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I am Hazara. I am trying to call a SSIS package from a web service. But package.execute() method is returning 'failure'. Though I am able to execute the same package from a normal .Net project and it is working fine (using the same code that i have used in web service).
I have also tried to execute it through stored procedure for which firstly I created a .dll in c#(which is perfectly working) and then I registered this .dll in sqlserver-2005 using following command.
CREATE ASSEMBLY asmPackageExecuter FROM 'C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727PackageExecuter.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE
GO
Now on calling the method of .dll (which is responsible to execute the package) I am getting the DTSExecResult as 'success' but data is not getting transfered from one able to other as was expected from the package.
Please help me. I have searched it everywhere on net but didn't get any solution.
I want to execute package only through web-service or stored-procedure
Thanks
Hazara.
Hi all...
I'm creating a SSIS in the designer view of SQL Server BI Dev. Studio (SQL Server 2005)
I need to import a whole table from MS Access into my local SQL Server.(this task will be performed weekly, so once working I'll schedule a job for it)
I've created a 'FILE' connection to MS Access in the 'Connection Managers'.
When I'm on the 'Data Flow' tab I can't find a Data Flow Item to use as a MS Access connection.
(available on the 'Data Flow Sources' are only: DataReader, Excel, Flat File, OLE DB, Raw File and XML Sources)
What am I doing wrong/missing?
Thanks for your help.
Hello.
I am using the "SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server" to log events to a table for "OnError" and "OnPostExecute" events of a package. This works as expected and provides a nice clean output on the execution steps of the package.
I am curious as to why I do not see any detail for any/all tasks that fall under the "Data Flow" section of the package though. For instance, on my "Control Flow" tab, I added a "Data Flow" task that simply loads a few tables from a target to destination server. However, there is nothing shown in the logging output. Just that a Data Flow task was initiated. And when I'm configuring this logging under "SSIS-->Logging" in the checkbox area on the left, you cannot "drill into" data flow steps.
Is there a reason why there is no detailed logging for Data Flow tasks? Would getting to that require me to create a custom log provider?
Thanks for the help.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having multiple data flow tasks in one SSIS package?
Is this a good idea at all considering the workflow may be similar now but may change in the future? Should it be left as one data flow per package?
Hi Friends,
I need help from you.
I am working on SSIS packages for ETL purpose.
The version of SQL Server i am using is SQL Server 2005.
In Brief , the working of current ETL is as follows.
In ODS database i have 2 tables i.e Table_A & Table_B which gets loaded from another 2 staging tables A & B.
And using this 2 tables data will be loaded into a target table i.e Trg_A.
The ETL packages are executed by stored procedures by creating a job within the stored procedure.
The loading of the trg table is little tricky.
Before that loading of Table_A is implemented in a single SSIS package.
and loading of Table_B is been implemented in another SSIS package.
In the trg table there are two columns which will be getting updated as and when each table is loaded.
so for the first time if i run the package which is resposible for loading Table_A, it loads values into Table_A and once done it will updates (col1) in the target table.
Once after the complete of the execution of Package1.
Now i will kick off the second ssis package which loads the data into Table_B and updates the trg table's columns (col2).
Now the actual problem what i am facing is:
For loading Table_A and updating the col1 in Trg table i will be receving more than 5 excel file every month on weekly basis.
I cannot even gather all the files and run using a For-Loop counter.
So presently i am loading data excel file per week .
Similarly loading of table_B.
For a week if i am executing both the packages which loads the Table_A and updates the Trg(col1) and Table_B and updates Trg(col2), then i am getting a Deadlock Error and the entire ETL is getting messed up.
Now my requirement is , Eventhough the 2 packages are run in parallel , there could certain milli seconds time difference while start of the execution in Job Monitor.
I need to implement a Queing Mechanism which takes care of running the packages in a sequential manner rather than in parallel. i .e i need to ensure only one SSIS package is running in Job Monitor. Only after successful execution of either one the package, then only the second package should start its execution.
If we can implement such a queing mechanism , then my problem is solvedl.
I need some suggestions on this regard in implementing the Queing mechanism in a programatic approach using SQL Server Job Related MetaData Tables.
or else is there in server parameter or initialization parameters which can be set at Database level which suffice my requirement.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for sincere comments on this regards.
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
This not a problem but here i wan to give u my some trial on package execution from C# code.
i just want to make sure whether this is right way or not?
I need to upload some processed text file into table using SSIS packages. I m calling these packages in runtime for different source text files passed to it.
I first created package on my machine and deployed packages on Sql server using default protection level. So when i m tryng to execute it from integration services it wont work giving some exception in AquireConnectionCall() , its coz all the sensitive information is stroed inside package is not available to that machine.
In C#
Now i m loading this package using LoadFromSqlServer().
I am creating connection manager object for each of source and destination type and then setting all sensitve information from my solution's config file.
Set the protection level of package and available connection managers to DontSaveSensitve.
by using this method m able to execute any package created on any machine with default protection level.
Can any one of tell me -ve aspects of this approach?
Thanks
I am wondering something, once we've created a job that executes a package at a given time interval, does that package get recompiled each time the job spins up and executes the package? Or is the package compiled once and then that compiled code is executed each run after the first run?
What I'm seein is this; I have a package that reads data from flat text files and then dumps that data into the database. The package will take 3 minutes to execute when executing on a single file, but when it's looping through ~50 files, it will take ~30 minutes to execute, that is less than a minute per file. Why is this?
Hopefully I'm just forgetting something and not setting a checkbox or radio button somewhere. The job is set up as an SSIS job, not as a command line job.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I am currently experiencing a 30 second delay when starting an SSIS package from a query window or stored procedure in SQL 2005 Management Studio, using xp_cmdshell and dtexec.
When I run the package in BI Dev the execution results state an elapsed time of 4.82 sec, at a command prompt using dtexec the elapsed time is 3.48 sec, from MStudio the elapsed time is 33.86 sec, this test was run using the same configuration and databases. For the MStudio run, if I look at the DTS log file I€™m creating or the PC Application log, it states the package doesn't actually start until 31 sec after the execute button is pressed. I€™ve tried executing the package as both a SQL package and a file package without any difference in elapsed times. I have also set DelayValidation = True for every Task, ConnectionManager and the package itself.
When I look at the package log one difference I see is that the Management Studio executes using €˜NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM€™, BI Dev and the cmd prompt use the local user €˜[Server]Administrator€™, which in this case is the administrator. From this I have to believe it is some kind of user rights problem. I think SQL or the OS is waiting for something and after it times out at 30 sec, it allows the package to run. If this is the case I€™m not sure what it might be or how to find it.
I also tried making an xp_cmdshell_proxy_account with admin rights but this didn€™t seem to work either. I€™ve included the query code below. Any ideas, help or solutions are greatly appreciated.
DECLARE @cmd varchar(250)
DECLARE @Result INT
SET @Result = 0
--SET @cmd = 'dtexec /F "C: empDP2000 DataTransfer.dtsx" /DE ttalg /REP EW'
SET @cmd = 'dtexec /SQL "DP2000 DataTransfer" /DE ttalg /REP EW'
EXEC @Result = xp_cmdshell @cmd
SELECT @result
While executing the SSIS package from visial studio it is running. If we execute from Integration services - - -> stored packages - - - -> msdb - - - -package name, the package gets executed.
But when scheduled through jobs it gives the following error in history
"Execution as user. <user name > The command line parameters are invalid. the step failed"
command line looks like this "
/DTS "MSDBMaintenance PlansPackage1-HYUNDAI" /SERVER tvmwindev02 /CONNECTION "10.10.1.52.upsframis";"Data Source=10.10.1.52;Initial Catalog=upsframis;Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;" /CONNECTION DestinationConnectionOLEDB;"Data Source=mscoe.db.ustri.com;Initial Catalog=HISNA_POC;Provider=SQLOLEDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=false;" /CONNECTION "sample.db2test";"Data Source=sample;User ID=db2test;Provider=IBMDADB2.1;Location=10.10.1.55;" /CONNECTION SourceConnectionOLEDB;"Data Source=SAMPLE;User ID=db2test;Provider=IBMDADB2.1;Persist Security Info=True;Location=10.10.1.55;Extended Properties="""";" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF
"
What could be the reason ?

Hello everybody!
I have a question - is it possible to visualize an execution of the SSIS package when it is being run from SQL Agent? "Visualize" means to show a data-flow "live" - similair to the visualization provided by BI Dev.Studio when you run a package there, with coloured boxes, blinking etc.
I searched the Web but found nothing - neither MS-related nor utilities from third parties. Is it possible in any way?
Thanks in advance,
Andrey.
P.S. Parsing log-files is an option, but we would like to try first something less "painfull" and more universal...

Hi guys,
I am basically from COGNOS domian, but now i am trying to learn SQL server 2005.
Can any one say how automate or schedule the package that it been created in SSIS.
That package contains the data flow task..
i have got stuck in this
Thanks in advances

I would like to know how long will my package take to run if i have 2 million records to be inserted to my database.
Its taking hours( arround 5 hours or more)...is that the way it is????? i used oledb destinations..
i am transfering from text file to sql server database.
And one more thing which i want to know is...
Is is better to have several data flows where in one i check to see if the incoming records are valid.and have my insert or update logic in the other.
Will this increase the speed..
Hi everybody,
I currently need help on an issue I can't find the solution.
I developed a package and I when I run it from the Integration Service directly it runs and ends correctly, deletes/creates tables on the db on the server the package is running and copy the data from the other db.
I want to specify that I use two db in different domain as source and destination.
When I schedule it using the Sql scheduler it fail reporting the following error:
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "DBname" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Can anyone of you give me a clue about the issue I have?
Thanks!
I am using SSIS to populate a star schema.
The issue is in the data flow for loading and setting the Fact table dimension keys (the dimensions are all loaded fine). After 16 rather pedestrian Lookup Transformations, I have an escalating problem adding additional Lookup transforms to the Data Flow. The problem is not in execution; the problem is adding more transforms in design mode.
Lookup # Fields in Data Flow Time to validate that lookup
<17 47 Sub-second
17 48 2 sec
18 49 4 sec
19 50 8 sec
20 51 16 sec
21 52 32 sec
22 53 64 sec
While I€™m intrigued by the mathematical progression that is forming here, the issue is that I have at least 6 more Lookups to perform. I hope you can see my dilemma.
I have gone to where it takes a little over 4 minutes each to validate the lookup transform and its associated Derived Column transform and Union transform (Total 12 Minutes). Not only does this add up to many idle minutes to each design step, BUT it breaks the debugger as it pre-validates the ENTIRE data flow before it ever switches into debugging mode.
Some notes:
1. It doesn€™t matter what order the Lookup transforms occur in, the timings are exactly the same.
2. I tried many Data Flow execution optimizations, but they don€™t improve the validation times (or even get a chance to improve the execution times!)
I realize this may be somewhat of a unique problem.
Thanks for any help you are able to lend.

Hello friends!
I have one query regarding execution of SSIS package through Stored Procedure.

Hi,
I am using SSIS packages for transfering data from a legacy SQL server to a new one.
The database has around 700 Tables. Out of which, data from 20 tables need to be transfered.
I have created 20 data flows for that.
The SSIS package is executed using a utility program that i've written using c#. I capture all the events and use them for some post processing. I look at the status of each of the data flows (whether failed, complete, etc.. ) and take decisions appropriately.
There should be a provision built-into(my utility) the application that allows users to suspend the execution of the package and restart it later..
I cannot use the package's suspend function here as suspend functionality in my case means that the user could even reboot the comp. He may then restart the execution of the package from the last logical point.
My initially thinking was, that i would (somehow) store the number of records transfered to the target for a dataflow and later when the user restarts the execution, i would change the SQL query in the dataflow to start from the records > than the one i've saved.
But how do i get the row number?? T-SQL supports row_number() but it seems that it cant be used with the WHERE clause.
Does anyone know how to deal with this problem ??
Is it possible to save the current execution state of a package in file and restart it at a later point (even after reboot)?
Cheers

Hello
I am trying to call the same package with different starting parameters using asynchronous method calls.
My code is
namespace ReconHost
{
public partial class HostContainer : Form
{
public delegate void InvokePackageHandler(
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application app,
int var
);
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application app;
public HostContainer()
{
InitializeComponent();
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
app = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application();
InvokePackageHandler asyncInvokePackageHandler = InvokePackage;
asyncInvokePackageHandler.BeginInvoke(app, i, null, null);
}
}
public void InvokePackage(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application app, int var)
{
Package pkg = app.LoadPackage(@"c:GRSGRSGRSTest_Async.dtsx", null);
pkg.Variables["intVar"].Value = var;
pkg.Execute();
pkg = null;
}
}
}
If I set the for loop to loop just once, the package is executed fine. Any more than once and only one instance of the package is executed.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I know it is possible to execute the two package instances simultaneously because you can use DTexecUI.exe on two clients to do this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have the hierarchy of packages..
there are three levels..
first package (say L1) calls two child packages.(say L2_1 , L2_2)
the parameters are passed to L2_1 from L1 and it executes completely and successfully.
next step is L1 calls L2_2 without any parameters.. and package fails with error as execution of L2_2 failed.
when I executed L2_2 individually it successfully executes.
L2_2 itself calls 5 other packages (at level 3)..
Am not able to identify the possible reason for failure..
Hi,
I have a dts package migrated from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005 clustered server using migration wizard without any problem.
I have created a new job on sql server 2005 and one of the steps involves executing the SSIS package. It keeps failing with the error message "package execution failed". I have logged in here as a domain administrator (as also a local administrator).
I followed Article ID: 918760 but did not help.
I need this to be resolved asap.
Any quick help, much appreciated.
Thx

When I veiw the exexcution/progress results for a package they show in order of the name of the task, is there anyway to see this tree view in order of the execution?

Hi there,
I have been trying to schedule a package I design to run off hour, but unable to do so. Here is a strange issue:
1. I was able to fully run and complete the package through VSS. My package has three steps and I have on complete arrows from one step to the next... When I run it, it does what I expected in SSIS designer.
2. I was able to deploy and run the actual package by double click on the file system and it runs successfully through Execute Package Utility.
So my package does loop through a file folder and insert records from within the folder through execute SQL task to a SQL table...etc. Typically it takes a while to run....
However, when I put the package under SQL agent and run it as a job (through setting up the sql job to call a package on the file system). It runs and completed within a few seconds.... Somehow, it didn't give me an error, but it doesn't seem like it acutally runs the package.
Does the execution of the package somehow sends success message back prematurely to SQL job? Why does it not successful run?
Is there any configuration setting that I am missing here? How can I find out if it actually runs the package and why does it returns so quickly and claim successful, yet it didn't do anything??
Please help! thanks,
Jon
Hi all,
I am currently trying to execute my first SSIS package and am having a lot of trouble with (what i believe to be) SQL security. During the development of the package i was testing all my connection managers with the sa account. Now that i have deployed the package i want to use another account with less privelages so that my setup is more secure. I have created a new login which maps to both the database my SSIS package is using and also to the msdb database. I have created a schema and user in each of these databases which i had initially set with minimal rights. This caused certain parts of my package to fail. I then set up the login with a sysadmin server role which worked no problem at all. Finnally i then gave the schema for the user full rights and removed the sysadmin server role. once again the package fail. Surely i can't only be able to run the SSIS package with an account that has a sysadmin role?
Can anyone tell me if i am doing something wrong. The SQL server 2005 security model is so frustrating to get to grips with.
Many thanks in advance,
Grant
