Have a parent package that calls many child packages (over 30) for a daily data warehouse update. On any given day, it randomly fails to call a child package with the following error:
Error 0x800706BE while preparing to load the package. The remote procedure call failed.
Its not failing the same package each day. I need a better explanation of this error message.
Environment: SQL2005 Enterprise Dec2005 RTM on Itanium64 with Windows DataCenter.
I run into some issues and really need some expert help here.
Here is the problem. I have two packages (parent.dtsx and child.dtsx). Both package have its own configuration file (parent.dtsConfig and child.dtsConfig). The file Child.dtsConfig contains a variable (i.e. "X") that is to be used by Child.dtsx.
Inside parent.dtsx. there is a package-task that calls into Child.dtsx. It worked perfectly well if I run parent.dtsx using Dtexec or from inside SSIS's IDE.
Now I want to programmably call "parent.dtsx" from my C# code. I loaded package using "app.LoadPackage"... Inside C# code, I want to reconfigure Child-package's variable ("X"). I then loaded in "Child.dtsx". However when I run "parent.dtsx" and child.dtsx still loads the original value for "X". The reconfigured value for "X" is not updated.
Please help on how to get around this issue.
Thanks.
I have a job/step that call a Fileprocessor.dtsx package with 4 different config files. I need to make a enhancement to the job to call the same package using a new (parent) package with multiple iterations based on some business condition.
I am going to modify the job/step to call ParentFileprocessor now with same all 4 config files which in-turn have a call to run Fileprocessor.dtsx; my problem is, how do I pass all 4 config files for child call? Using which task?
I m not allowed to modify Fileproessor.dtsx (to be child pkg) SQL2012, MSDB package deployment model.
I have a parent package and three child packages.
In all packages they make connections to a SQL 2005 db which sits on the same instance as which the packages are being deployed.
In the Child packages these connections have the connection string set as a package property variable in Package configs and in the Parent package this variable exists correctly.
This variable in the Parent is itself defined in a PackageConfig which uses SQL Server as the holder for the configuration.
When I deploy the packages the connections to in the child packages fail, one connection by timing out, another with an acquire connection failure.
I have set the DelayValidation to false on all connections but it made no difference.
I have also increased the timeout to 180s but again still a failure.
When I deploy the parent package on its own it is successful, however when the child packages are deployed on their own these connections again fail to validate due to a timeout and connection failure, yet they are using the same connections defined in the parent.
The child packages are no larger than other single packags that I have deployed successfully with the same connection to the same server.
Is there anything special that I should be aware of regarding deployment of parent and child packages.
I have recently moved some native Access tables to SQL Server 7. These tables are updated in code. When the update is done via a SQL statement, I get
"This record is being modified by another user. . . Save, Copy to Clipboard, Drop Changes"
When the record is being updated via DAO code, I get,
"ODBC Call Fail"
Both errors are most irritating and I desperately need to find a way around this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to force a build to fail when a stored procedure in a project calls another stored procedure with one or more required parameters missing. E.g.:
Â
CREATE PROCEDURE [App].[ServiceUser_Save]
@userID int-- Param #0
,@serviceuserID int-- Param #1
,@version int-- Param #2 etc...
And then in a separate stored procedure we have the following
CREATE PROCEDURE [Admin].[CreateMiscellaneousData]
@customerIDint,
@serviceIDint,
@fullURL nvarchar(255),
@apiUserPwd nvarchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
...
EXEC@return_value = [App].[ServiceUser_Save]
@userID = 1,
@serviceuserID = 0, etc...
Note there is no value passed for the @Version parameter.
What I want is the build to fail because of the missing parameter on the call to ServiceUser_Save in the Create_MiscellaneousData stored procedure.
How can I achieve this?
Hi,
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.

I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task.
The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL.
There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop).
Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package.
(For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)
Hi there
We have a SSIS run which runs as follows
The master package has a configuration file, specifying the connect strings
The master package passes these connect-strings to the child packages in a variable
Both master package and child packages have connection managers, setup to use localhost. This is done deliberately to be able to test the packages on individual development pc€™s.
We do not want to change anything inside the packages when deploying to test, and from test to production. All differences will be in the config files (which are pretty fixed, they very seldom change). That way we can be sure that we can deploy to production without any changes at all.
The package is run from the file system, through a job-schedule.
We experience the following when running on a not default sql-server instance (called dkms5253uedw)
Case 1:
The master package starts by executing three sql-scripts (drop foreign key€™s, truncate tables, create foreign key€™s). This works fine.
The master package then executes the first child package. We then in the sysdtslog get:
Error - €ścannot connect to database xxx€?
Info - €śpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
The child package then executes OK, does all it€™s work, and finish. Because there has been an error, the master package then stops with an error.
Case 2:
When we run exactly the same, but with the connection strings in the config file pointing to the default instance (dkms5253), the everything works fine.
Case 3:
When we run exactly the same, again against the dkms5253uedw instance, but now with the exact same databases defined in the default instance, it also works perfect.
Case 4:
When we then stop the sql-server on the default instance, the package faults again, this time with
Error - €śtimeout when connect to database xxx€?
Info - €śpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
And the continues as in the first case
From all this we conclude, that the child package tries to connect to the database before it knows the connection string it gets passed in the variable from the master package. It therefore tries to connect to the default instance, and this only works if the default instance is running and has the same databases defined. As far as we can see, the child package does no work against the default instance (no logging etc.).
We have tried delayed validation in the packages and in the connection managers, but with the same results (error).
So we are desperately hoping that someone can help us solve this problem.
Thanx,

We
have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using
ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the
packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example:
Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned
properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the
variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We
have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
Please Help.
hi,
I am interested in Passing value from a child Package variable to the Parent package that calls it in ssis.
I am able to call the Child package using the execute package task and use Configurations to pass values from the parent variable to the child, but I am not able to pass the value from the child to the parent.
I have a variable called datasetId in both the parent and child. it gets computed in the child and needs to be passed to the parent...
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help in advance..

I use a execute package task to run a child package in which I run some sql task.
as the error handle I insert a script task and link a line from execute package task to script task
of course the line is red,
but I found when the child package failed, the execute package task turns red,it stopped
the script task can't be run, I don't konw why?
Hi guys,
Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.
However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.
When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.
How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?
Hope someone could help. Thanks.
Hello All,
I have a SSIS Package with a "Execute Package Task" to call a child package. I am trying to have the master/parent package complete its execution regardless the outcome (failure or success) of the child package. The overall structure of the master package is:
1. Perform Pre-load tasks (stored procedure).
2. Execute Package Task (call child package)
3. Perform Post-load Tasks (stored procedure)
I have try everything and cannot get the results that I want... I have tried the combination of "failparentonfailure", "forceexecutionvalue", etc. The master package stops at childs failure. I would like to resume to completion
Any ideas out there?

I have two SSIS packages in a project, one calling the other. The parent package works fine in my local mechine. After they are deployed to the production, I schedeul jobs to run the packages in the SqlServer. The child package works fine if I run it alone, but the parent package could not find its child package if I run the parent package . As I checked, all xml config files and the connection string pointing to the child package were set correctly. It seems the parent package did not use the xml config file. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.
View 9 Replies View Related Hi,
In my application, i have two package, parent package and child package. the parent package is executing child package using a Execute Package Task.
"Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to TRUE. means the child package will be run in separate process not in the process of Parent package.
this was working fine, but at a particular client location. its failing the error is "not able to load child package".
for me it seems some setting on server restricting to create separate process for child package execution.
when "Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to FALSE. its working fine.
can anyone help what could cause its failure with property set to TRUE.
Appreciate any help.
I am trying to figure out how to run an SSIS package that is encrypted but also has a child package which is encrypted. I am trying to run from the cmd line using dtexec and specifying DECRYPT <pwd> for the parent package but how do you specify for the child package.
Please help if you have seen such an issue before or you have a work around.
Thanks

I have a parent package which calls a number of child packages. Occasionally, I have one child package which starts up and appears to finish but the parent package never gets notification that the child has finished. If I view this in Management Studio's in Integration Services, I can view the packages that are running and only the parent package is running. Because it never gets control back, the next child package will never get started and the parent package will continue to run and never finish.
Any idea what could be happening??
I need to pass variables from the parent package to the child package. I got this to work in a small test case. But in the actual project, I get an error when I try to do that. The parent package's log has this error :
Error: Error 0xC0012050 whike loading package file "c:.......". Package failed validation from the ExecutePackage task. The package cannot run..
There's nothing more to go on here in the log.
Any ideas ?

Is it possible to call a package through the 'Execute package task' and force it to run in 32 bit while the master package runs in 64 bit?

I need to fail the package intentionally if Send EMail task executes. How can I do that? I know there is a property FailPackageOnfailure, that fails the package on task's failure, but how can I fail the package on task's successful execution?

Hi
I have created a SSIS master package. It is contains two child package. The master package is running in fine .
But i am calling the master package in the sql server agentjobs,the following error coming.
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available.
Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D
Description: "Login failed for user 'test1'."
pl help me.
In a DTS package, I have various SQL tasks which are linked by workflows, either 'on success' or 'on failure'.
What is the sql statement for making a sql task fail so that it follows the 'on failure' workflow?
Thanks

I'd like to use a SQL Task to execute a stored proc, which checks for a value, and if I don't like the result, raise an error. If the stored proc fails I'd like the package to fail as well.
When I run the stored proc outside of the package, it fails as it should. However, when I run it in the package, the package does not fail. It moves on to the next task and completes normally.
Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
Thank you,
Perry
I am working with the ssis packages.I am working in the development enviroment.Once i place them on the server all my connection to text files fails.I dont want to sit and Keep changing with respect to server again and again.
What is the best way to set connection like for example:in my development it can be on e:data folder
But on server F:Data
With me changing again and again, can this be set within the package in the development environment.
Please le me know.
Hi,
I am likely to work on moving our ETL system from SQL server 2000 to SQL server 2005. Code is being re written. I wanted to know from anyones previous experience like what kind of activity/data can cause a package to fail. I need to check that a certain package fails and logs error to the server error log and stops. And also check that a certain package fails, logs an error to the server error logs but continues to run.
Any thoughts in this regard would be very helpful for me.
Thanks
Melissa.
I have a SSIS package that has several Execute SQL Components. One of the first components reurns a Full Result Set of IDs based on a stored procedure call. The stored procedure can return multiple rows. I store the results to an ADO recordset (object variable) to be used later. I want the component to fail, and the package if the return of the stored procedure is zero records. What is the best way to do this? I had a raise error statement if @@rowcount was zero but this did not fail the component. Any other suggestions?

I have a parent package which execute a child package. But when the child package is run from the parent not all of the tools inside is executed. I have a variable "ExecuteStep" from the parent that gives information about which tools, that needs to be executed.
BUT
The child package should be able to run independently also. In this case all tools inside the package should execute.
This is however not possible because my variable "ExecuteStep" does not exist inside the package, it is inheritage from my parent.
If I create a variable with exactly the same name inside my child package, I can run the child independently, but when executed from the parent the value from the parent package is now overwritten by the child variable.
How can I get around this problem?

Hi all,
I am a little bit confused about Transactions, the connection string parameter "RetainSameConnection" and the execution of a child package...
I have a parent package, which should execute some child packages in a loop depending on a sql dataset. doing this using variables works fine. I am setting the variables for Source and Destination also and I am having a connection manager for source and destination in the parent package.
The child packages alos have source and destination connection managers depending on variables coming from the parent package.
I am forced to use transactions on the destination, to be able to rollback if an error occurs.
When I initiate the transaction in my parent, call the child package with its own connection manager depending on the variables coming from the parent package will it be the same Transaction in my child and will it be possible to commit the transaction?
If this is not a proper way to do it is there another way to handle this?
Any help appriciated!
Thanks in advice"
cheers
