I have a FTP task created using SSIS that need to delete lot of files in a directory. This task is working fine if I'm Executing the SSIS package manualy but not working if I'm scheduling the SSIS package in SQL agent job.
Anybody have faced this kind if situation is there any solution for this?.
when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success.
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0).
Started: 3:37:41 PM
Finished: 3:37:43 PM
Elapsed: 2.719 seconds
However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.
Thanks,
Larry
Hi seniors
there are two tables involve in replication let say table1 and replicated table is also rep.table1.
we are not deleting records physically in table1 so only a bit in table1 has true when u want to delete a record but the strange thing is that replication agaent report that this is hard delete operation on table1 so download and report hard delete operation and delete the record in replicated table which is very crucial.
plz let me know where am i wrong and how i put it into right way.
there is no triggers on published tables and noother trigger is created on published table.

Our users tend to generate a lot of one-time reports through Reporting Services. The problem is that this seems to generate a lot of Jobs in SQL Agent. So many, in fact, that we'd like to set up a job to delete them periodically (nightly or weekly). I could go in & delete them through SS Management Studio but I'd like to manage it automatically. Let me state up front that I have limited experience with Reporting Services so if my questions seem basic, forgive me.
First, is there a way to avoid creating a SQL Agent job if this is a non-scheduled report? That would be optimal then there would be nothing to clean up.
Barring that, what's the "Best Practice" for doing this automatically? I found the jobs listed in msdb.dbo.sysjobs and other sysjob* tables. Is it reasonable for me to delete from these various tables (sysjobs, sysjobactivity, sysjobhistory, sysjobschedules, sysjobsteps, & sysjobstepslogs) if the job was generated by reporting services (i.e. sysjobs.description containing 'report server process') and no schedule exists (i.e. sysjobactivity.next_scheduled_run_date IS NULL)? What damage could this cause? Is there anything else I need to take into account?
Thanks,

Ok, I have my SSIS job that is using Execute Process task, this task is calling a batch file that FTP's files over from the server to a new location for processing. The package works locally in SMS, no problem at all. When I export the package out to my SQL Server under integration services, it runs but I get a pop up message;
'Open File - Security Warning
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?
Name: remove.bat
Publisher: unknown publisher
type: windows batch file
from: \servername\Files
when I click run, its runs, but now, when I put this in SQL Job agent, I get no pop message and it doesn't execute. Now I don't get any pop up when I run the package in SMS. What do I need to do to get this package to run under SQL Job agent so no pop message is there?
I have a stored procedure thats transferring/processing data from onetable to two different tables. The destination tables have a uniquevalue constraint as the source tables at times has duplicate recordsand this will prevent the duplicates from being reported. When thestored procedure (which includes a cursor) is executed through queryanalyzer, it runs fine, and reports an error everytime it sees aduplicate value (as expected). It moves all the unique values from thesource to the destination tables.However, if the same stored procedure is run as a task/job in SQLServer Agent, the behaviour is different. The job fails when it see'sthe error and ends up skipping records or terminating the procedureall together. Eg. if there are 100 records in the source table with 10duplicates, the stored procedure when run through Query Analyzer willcopy the 90 unique records to the destination tables but when run fromSQL-Agent, it copies just 10-15 records.Any idea why this happens?

I am having problems with an SSIS package whereby the first step of the package is failing. I am getting the following error message:
Unable to connect to FTP server using "FTPLocation".
This only happens when I use a Agent Proxy as the 'Run as' option. If I change it back to SQL Agent Service Account it works perfectly.
For the credentials of the proxy, I have used my own windows login as the identity. And I have full priveleges on the server, ie if I log on to the server I can successfully ftp to the same site and download the file without any problems. So shouldn't the Agent be able to do so too when it uses my credentials?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,
I try to create a SSIS package only use SQL server agent job tasks(some in 2000 and some in 2005) in control flow. Basically if the first secheduled job failed the package will stop. I linked the first and the second job with 'on success' precedence constraint. But when I build or run the package it always return execution success and run the second one. And I know for sure the first job is failed through enterprise manager - management - jobs
Could somebody advice what could possibly went wrong?
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". End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 09:04:00 Finished: 09:04:02 Elapsed: 1.219 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.,00:00:02,0,0,,,,0
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks
Dear,
Since I met the strange thing these days. I cannot make it clear that how can I run the SSIS Package in job agent? I hv tried the solutions within this forum, but still couldn't solve my problem.
I have set the right credentials with the admin role of SQL account. In my SSIS package, there is a script task which is used to find out the target flat file as connection string by a user defined variable.
Aspect 1:
If I disable this script task in my SSIS package, then choose "SQL Server Integration Services Package" as the step in Job Agent, run as a proxy, it can run this package without error.
But
if I enable the script task, then choose "SQL Server Integration
Services Package" as the step in Job Agent, run as a proxy. then the
error occurred:
Message
Executed as user: xxxxxxRpt_User. The package execution failed. The step failed.
Aspect 2:Enable the Script task, try to run the package with Dtsexec.exe in Dos command prompt window, it also works:
DTEXEC.exe /FILE "D:ProjectsBBIBBIDMBBI_SSISBBI_ACQ.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF
If use the "Operating System (CmdExec)" as the step in Job and type the same command, it will output the error by Job Agent after running:
Executed as user: xxxxxRpt_User. ....00.1399.06 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
How come? The questions I want to ask Microsoft:
1. Why not keep the simple rule to run SSIS as the former DTS? Why need so much setting before running the package?!!!
2. Why does it prompt the error if a Script Task is included in a SSIS Package? But it works in Dos Command window with dtsexec.exe?
I would like to hear from all buddies here for the solutions. Many thanks for your help.

Using SQL 2005, SSIS, I have an SSIS package which is scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job. The package contains a Send Mail task. This task fails when SQL Agent runs the package. The task succeeds when executed interactively from the package, logged on as the SQL Agent service account. The package as a whole succeeds when executed from "Start Debugging". An Execute SQL Task in the same package containing an sp_send_dbmail statement succeeds when SQL Agent runs the job, and the same sp_send_dbmail succeeds in Mgmt Studio query window. All these events all logged onto the server as the SQL Server/SQL Agent service account.
I would appreciate ideas on what else to check for here, so that I can use the Send Mail SSIS task in packages which are run by SQL Agent jobs.
Thanks, Holly
Hi,
I have created a SSIS package and tested it in V.Stdio where it runs fine and uploads file on the remote server.
Now I have scheduled it to run as a job in SQL SERVER AGENT as JOB, but it fails when it comes to the upload task?
I am quite sure as it is something with FTP connection string or security, but can't figure it out.
I have simply added the IP/login/password in the connection manager for upload task.
Any help/ guidance would be great.
Thanks,

Hi guys, I 've been trying to run an integration services package as server agent scheduled task so that I dont have to manually execute the package every 2 hours. I was following how to guide in msdn to set up a server agant task for integration services package but I'm kind a lost. First of all when I ran the Management Studio and connected to the integration services the server agent does not show up it only shows me runing and stored packages. I can access to the server agent when I connect to the database engine but when I create a task and try to add a step to open a integration services package it does not give me the choice in type box. I couldn't figure out the problem. Is there a way to enable server agent to run under integration services too (not just under database engine) if databse engine is the only place server agents works , why dont I see the option to open a ssis package at adding a step to tasks? or is there a way to automate the process to run the package automatically without using the server agent at all?
Thanks,
Burak
PS I was following the http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms139805.aspx article
I have an execute process task in SSIS that executes a .Net program.When this is running as a Sql Server Agent job in Sql Server 2005, I have no issues. The operating system of the server is Windows Server 2003 R2.
Now I'm trying to get this working as a Sql Server Agent job in Sql Server 2012. The operating system of the server is Windows Server 2012 R2. And now I have issues.
If I run the SSIS package in Visual Studio debug mode, I have no issues! It's only when I try running the same package from a Sql Server Agent job that there are problems. The .Net program errors out with a System.TypeInitializationException.
I thought this might be an issue running the .Net program as 64 bit so I changed the agent setting to 32 bit. That didn't work. I thought it might be an issue with authorization (since I can run it in debug with me as the user). I put in a class in the program that changes the user through impersonation. That didn't work either.
Since I don't have a full-blown version of Visual Studio on the database server, I haven't been able to capture the error and debug the program to see where it is blowing up.
why something like this would work in Sql Server 2005/Windows 2003 but not in Sql Server 2012/Windows 2012 when run as an agent job? And on top of that, why would it work when I run it manually in debug mode but not when run as an agent job?
I created a SQL Server Agent job that contains an SSIS task. This task runs succesfully from BIDS. From the SQL Server Agent job it never completes while trying to run the SSIS task that needs to open an WS_FTP command line window to run an sftp step and then close.
I had this working on my local machine, Windows XP SP2, using the SSIS service using the local system account with "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" checked. I needed to check this option for it to work. Otherwise the routine just hung without completing or an error message.
On our test machine running Windows 2003 with SP1 the SQL Server Agent and SSIS services are set to run under the NT Authority/NetworkServices account. I set the permissions on this account based from the list shown at SQL Server 2005 Books Online, Selecting an Account for the SQL Server Agent Service ,http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191543.aspx. I also needed to set folder permission on this account to access the files I wanted to ftp.
What I don't know what to do and that I suspect might be the problem is how to set the equivalent of, "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" for this account. This was only an option under the local system account.
I would appreciate any ideas and guidance on how to deal with this case. Thanks.
We are not certain if this has happened due to the SSIS FTP Task, but incidently the Excel file that is being copied from the FTP site using an SSIS FTP Task got corrupted a couple hours after the package was scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job on SQL Server 2005.
I had a SQL Server 2000 DTS package doing the same thing, but it was never an issue then. I was using the FTP Task there along with an Excel Data source in that and has been working for a couple years atleast with never any corruption related issues.
In the SSIS SQL Server 2005 package I am using an FTP Task with an Excel Connection Manager and Excel source and the Excel file got corrupted within a couple hours of the package being scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any inputs will be appreciated.
Just as an fyi, the excel file has a lot of vlookups.
Thanks,

Hello
I'm trying to run a task that executes a script file (cmd). When i run it with in bids with my own users (domain admin) it works. When i start a cmd prompt and try to run the cmd file directly from the network location where it is it works (with my own rights and with the sql server agent user).
Now when i try to run in from smss > agent jobs > job and run job it never completes. Im not getting any error message either it just keeps on running on the step ??? It seems like a rights issue, but the account running the sql server agent is able to execute the cmd file directly from the command prompt.
There are no errors in any error logs anywhere and no error is displayed...
Ps. Im running the job step as a integration service pacgake.
I have a file in my script task, which does this job.
Public Sub Main()
Dim fs As New FileStream("\abcdefgabcdergFiles2.ftp", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
Dim s As New StreamWriter(fs)
s.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End)
s.WriteLine("open 112.123.123.12")
s.WriteLine("abcdef")
s.WriteLine("abcd")
s.Close()
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
After this task gets completed, I want to delete this file-the file which was created just now. How to write that code to delete that file. I am not sure, if this is the right place to put this issue.
Thanks.
I deleted a database referenced in a maint. task and then I tried to delete the maint. task. I am getting an error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" and also it says Named Pipes Provider:, error 40: Could not open a connection to SQL , error 53). I think it has something to do with deleting Maint. Tasks outside of SSIS. Does anyone know of a solution?
Thank you.
Hello,
I have two FTP Tasks configured in my SSIS package. One is for "Receive files" and the other is set for "Delete remote files." Both use variables for the source/destination paths. My remote path variable contains a wild card in the name field such as /usr/this/is/my/path/*.ext and it is working to FTP all the .ext files to my working directory. I then rename the files and want to remove the original files from the FTP server. I use the same variable as the remote path variable in the delete as I do in the receive.
Using the same FTP connection manager for both tasks I am always getting a failure on the delete. The FTP connection manger is setup to use the root user. Using a terminal I am able to open an FTP connection to the server and remove the files manually. There doesn't seem to be any detailed documentation on the FTP Task configured for Delete remote files so I'm hoping someone might have some insight to the problem.
I receive the same message for each of the files that was downloaded:
Error: 0xC001602A at MyPackage, Connection manager "FTP Connection Manager": An error occurred in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: 550 usr hisismypathdatafile1.ext: No such file or directory.
The attempt to delete file "usr hisismypathdatafile1.ext" failed. This may occur when the file does not exist, the file name was spelled incorrectly, or you do not have permissions to delete the file.
With the root user/working manually I'm not understanding the permission reason, the file does exist and is spelled correctly.

We are Downloading files from FTP Site using "FTP Task" and we need to remove those files after downloading.
We need to delete files of specific names, like "Names_*.TXT" (All the txt files and Names starting from "Names_") so We are using Delete Remote Files and Remote path we are specifying as "/Names_*.TXT"
This doesn't work its not able to delete the files so, We tried using "*.*" and also given the specific filename like "Names_A1.TXT" then also its not deleting the remote files.
Please let me know the solution.
Thanks,

I have an excel sheet and I want to transfer data from this sheet to a table.But the sheet has some irrelevant rows at the beginning,I want to delete them.How do I do this using script task or any other task?
Since I am just a beginner,it would be nice if you could provide some code samples or a helpful link
Thanks in advance.
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.
This delete's the directory content as well as sub directory content! Is their a way i can just set it to delete the files in the said directory and not sub directories?

Dear all:
I had got the below error when I execute a DELETE SQL query in SSIS Execute SQL Task :
Error: 0xC002F210 at DelAFKO, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "DELETE FROM [CQMS_SAP].[dbo].[AFKO]" failed with the following error: "The transaction log for database 'CQMS_SAP' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
But my disk has large as more than 6 GB space, and I query the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases which return value as "NOTHING".
So this confused me, any one has any experience on this?
Many thanks,

HI,
I have been trying to solve the locking problem from past couple of days. Please help mee!!
Scenario:
--------------
I have a SSIS package in which 2 data flow tasks. 1st data flow task deletes records from a 5 tables and the 2nd data flow task should insert records into 1 of the five tables after the success of 1st data flow task. This scenario runs in Transacation.
The above scenrio in the 2nd data flow task hangs in runtime. It does not complete. with sp_who2 command i could see that there is an intent share lock(LK_M_IS) on the table and the status is SUSPENDED.
I dont know how to come out of this locking. Please help.
Thanks ,

I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
Try
ds = CType(Dts.Variables("VP_EMAIL_RESULTS_RS").Value, DataSet)
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
