Flat File Connection - Network Share - SQL Agent - HELP!
Jun 19, 2007
SQL Agent will not successfully execute my package as a job. Bids executes the package correctly as well as when I run the package manually (right click, run package) through SQL Server Management Studio. This is a permissions issue with the flat file any help will be much appreciated.Background Information:OS: SQL 2005 on Windows Server 2003Flat File Connection: \servernamefolderfile.txt (If I change the flat file location to a local file the package will run as a job successfully)Domain: The package is running on a Windows machine that is not on any domain. The network location is a Windows machine on a domain.Security: The network location folder (\servernamefolderfile.txt) has no security, namely anyone can access any file to read/write/delete/etc. I can manually add and delete files as well as add and delete files when the package runs through BIDS or when I manually run it through management studio.Permissions: I have created a login, security credential, and proxy which I am using to run the package. The security credential is tied to the Administrator account on the local machine.
Error Message: Executed as user: COMPUTER-NAMEAdministrator. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 9.00.3042.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005.

End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 12:05:37 PM Finished: 12:05:40 PM Elapsed: 2.297 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
(note: I replaced the fileconnection strings with FILECONNECTION and the serverpath with "servernamefolder" for privacy reasons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is some sort of security issue with SQL Agent. But, the error claims that the user is running as localmachineAdministrator. Isn't this how the package would run if I manually execute it?

Hi
In the "Choosing Between SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" white paper, i can read that: "SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition support data file storage on a network share" and "Number of concurrent connections = 256"
But when i try to connect with two different PC at the same time to a .sdf file store on a network share, i have an error message : "File is locked by an other processus"
The firsth PC is connected but the secondth can't
";Mode=Read Write" in the connection string don't change anything.
anybody have an idea ?

All,
I have a SSIS package that can be run outside SQL Server Agent, but fail with SQL Server Agent for the same user login. The packages are saved in the sql server database with Windows Authentication. The protection level I used is the default one: €œencrypt sensitive data with user key€?
The packages have a step to dump data into a flat file destination. The error message is
€œCannot open the datafile€? on the local drive that the user has access to.
Any idea on how to fix it is appreciated?
Thanks in Advance.

I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 box. The SQL Server service is running as a simple windows domain user (nothing special, no admin rights, etc.) I am having some issues with using Bulk Insert when the data file is on a network share when using Windows Authentication. What is known is that the SQL Server service account has access to the network resource, which is shown by logging into SQL Server with a SQL account and doing the Bulk Insert. I also have rights to the files on the share, as shown by the fact that I put the files there. My SQL is in the form of:
Bulk Insert [table name] From '[server][share][filename]' With (FirstRow = 2, FormatFile='FormatFile.xml')
Now, when connecting to SQL Server with Windows Authentication and running the Bulk Insert I get the following error:
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Cannot bulk load because the file "[server][share][filename]" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
I found this snip at
BULK INSERT (Transact-SQL)Security Account Delegation (Impersonation), which says, in part (emphasis mine):
To resolve this error [4861], use SQL Server Authentication and specify a SQL Server login that uses the security profile of the SQL Server process account, or configure Windows to enable security account delegation. For information about how to enable a user account to be trusted for delegation.
How to Configure the Server to be Trusted for Delegation, and we tried the unconstrained delegation and I rebooted the SQL server, but it still does not work. Later we tried constrained delegation and it still does not work.
I have verified the SPNs:
C:>setspn adsvc_sqlRegistered ServicePrincipalNames for CN=SVC_SQL,OU=Service Accounts,OU=Users,OU=ad domain,DC=ad,DC=local:    MSSQLSvc/SQLQA.ad.local:1433    MSSQLSvc/SQLDev.ad.local:1433    MSSQLSvc/SQLQA.ad.local    MSSQLSvc/SQLDev.ad.local
I have verified that my SQL connection is TCP and I am getting/using a Kerberos security token.
C:>sqlcmd -S tcp:SQLQA.ad.local,1433 -E1> Select dec.net_transport, dec.auth_scheme From sys.dm_exec_connections As dec Where session_id = @@Spid;2>
gonet_transport auth_scheme------------- -----------TCP KERBEROS(1 rows affected)1>
If I move the source file to a local drive (on the SQL server), all works fine, but I must be able to read from a file share?

Hi,
I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.
Did someone else faced this issue?
Thanks,
AQ

Hi,
I have a situation where a tab limited text file is used to populate a sql server table.
The tab limited text file comes from a third party vendor. There are fixed number of columns we need to export to the sql server table. However the third party may add colums in the text file. Whenenver the text file has an added column (which we dont need to import) the build fails since the flat file connection manager does not create the metadata for it again. The problem goes away where I press the button "Reset Columns" since it builds the metadata then. Since we need to build the tables everyday we cannot automate it using SSIS because the metadata does not change automatically. Is there a way out in SSIS?

Hi,
We have replication setup on a sql server 2000. We encountered issue that the distribution agent goes down (distrib.exe stop running) in the event of network connection broken. We would like to know:
is this the expected result that the distribution agent will go down in the event of communication failure between the distribution server and subscriber server?
if not, is there a way to programmatically control and restart the agent?
Is there any sp in SQL server which can monitor the replication communication error message?
is there any sp in SQL server which can be run to restart the agent?
For the best practice, what do you think we can do to achieve an €˜event-driven€™ kind of mechanism so when an communication breaks, the agent can be restarted by the triggered event (or at least a simple way to automatically restart)?
Thanks
Bill

Hi,
I have an SSIS package designed to copy across a file from local machine to a location on the network.
The SSIS package works fine when I run it directly run it in the Designer, ie, it copies over the file to the network.
But when I run the package through the Job server agent, it fails giving me a validation error on the network path..
Does it have to do with the permissions of the User account used here? Could anyone please provide any information on this....
Thanks

HELLO,
I'M NEW OF SQL SERVER BUT I'VE ALREADY GOT A LOT OF GOOD ADVICES BY YOU
I'M NOT IN ABLE TO RUN BY SQL SERVER AGENT AN SSIS PACKAGE:
THE PACKAGE IS MADE AS BELOW:
DATA SOURCE: FLAT FILE;
OLE DB DESTINATION: SQL SERVER DBO.TABLE
I HAVE SEVERAL KIND OF DATA FLOWS SCHEDULED TO RUN DAILY, AND ALL OF THEM RUNNING CORRECTLY.
THE ONLY ONE I'M ACTUALLY NOT IN ABLE TO MAKE RUN BY JOB IS THIS ONE. (BY VISUAL STUDIO RUNS FINE )
I'M GETTING BACK THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW. The product level is insufficient for component "Flat File Source 1 1" (32)
I'VE GOT A LOOK ON WEB, AND SEEN THAT THIS ERROR IS NOTICED WHEN SSIS IS NOT INSTALLED ON THE CLIENT MACHINE, BUT THIS IS NOT MY CASE SSIS IS FULL INSTALLED AND RUNNING.
I'VE ALSO TRIED TO RUN THE PACKAGE DIRECTLY FROM THE SERVER MACHINE...IT DOESN'T RUN EVEN LIKE THAT
I'VE DISCOVERED THAT SOME SSIS FEATURES IS NOT AVAILABLE WIT SQL SERVER STANDARD EDITION ( THIS IS MY LICENSE ) DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHETHER THIS IS THE CASE OR NOT?
P.S.
I'M PART OF SYSADMIN GROUP...JUST IN CASE

I am thinking I must be doing something wrong..
I have dozens of packages that work as follows (high level... not listing all the steps just those relevant to this question)
- Get list of files in directory
- Join list to list of already imported files
- Those not imported put into an ADO.Net object
- Loop through ADO.Net record (which contains the filename) and import each file.
I just set the connection string of the flat file to be the variable in the loop (expressions.. connection string). Pretty standard stuff. Now I tried to do the same with a file connection (not a flat file) becuase I have a source that is from a mainframe and I had to write a custom source script and its not working. Basically the source script uses
oRead = oFile.OpenText(Me.Connections.FileConnection.ConnectionString)
And it opens the same file over and over (not ever changing as the ConnectionString expression changes like it does for flat files) and imports it even though I have verified the loop is correctly looping through all the different files.
Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?

I have a Rounding error: Between flat file connection manager Source & OLE DB Connection Destination (SQL Server 2005) in my Dataflow.
File looks like this lets call column names Col A,B,C,D
70410000 RD1 1223631.92 196042.42
70329000 ICD 11025.84 3353.88
71167300 COL 104270.59 24676.96
flat file connection manager settings: first row Column names then Advanced tab Col A float , Col B float , Col C string ,Col D float ,
OLE DB Connection Destination (SQL Server 2005)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PT_CUST_ABR](

[PARTY_NAME] [varchar](75) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[TELECOMABR] [float] NULL,
[GENIABR] [float] NULL,
Problem: ColA (Source) Rounding error to PARTY_NO (Destination)
I have a field of text of in a flat file that the flat file connection manager Source picks up correctly €œ70000893€?
However when it gets the OLE DB Connection Destination the data has changed to 70000896. That€™s before its even Written to the database.
The only clue that something is wrong in the middle is the great Data viewer shows the number as 7.000009E+07
Other clues looking at the data it appears there is a rounding error on only the number that dont end in 00
ColA (Source) PARTY_NO (Destination)
71167300 71167296
70329000 70329000
70410000 70410000
Any ideas people?

Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A
public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)
{
//Some code to read file and write it into new file
return DTSExecResult.Success;
}
public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";
public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";
public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
if (node.Name != Property_Task)
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));
}
else
{
try
{
_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
}
public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
try
{
// // Create Task Element
XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");
doc.AppendChild(taskElement);
// // Save source FileConnection
XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);
sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;
taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "SaveXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
In UI Class there is OK Click event.
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
_taskHost.Properties[CustomErrorControl.Property_SourceConnection].SetValue(_taskHost, propertyGrid1.Text);
btnOK.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
#endregion

Hi,
I have a flat file, comma-delimited, with strings in double-quotes.
In the connection manager for the file, I have specified that the Text Qualifier = ""
However, in the preview tab, it still shows the strings as surrounded by the quotes, e.g. "mycol1" whereas it should show mycol1 without the quotes.
Next, when I examine the data in the database after the load, it's messed up there also.
"mycol1" ends up in the database as "mycol1
"mycol2" ends up as "mycol2
This is not right.
I have format set to delimited, header row delimiter crlf, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a package A which is copied from another existing package B as most of the data structure and ETL mappings are same.
What I need to change in Package A is to change the file in Flat File Connection Manager. I can change it in the conneciton manager editor. However, it is automatically changed back to the previous one everytime when I try to Save All or run the package.
I also tried to copy/paste this Flat File Connection Manager in the same package but samething happen. The package file is not set 'Read Only" so anything else can Saved well except for the File name in connection manager.
Is this a bug? It would be very appreciated if anyone can give me any idea about this.
Thanks,
Jenny

I would like to backup my databases to a network share (NAS) instead of local disk using Maintenance Plans created by Enterprise Manager. I have successfully used a UNC path to target the destination network share but have not been to figure out how to submit a logon to the network share before the backup is executed.
The SQL Server instance is running in the context of the local system account.
Can I insert a step in the SQL SQL job that is created by the Maintenance Plans that changes the Windows account that the backup runs under? If yes what command syntax would I use in the inserted step or is there another way to accomplish that I'm attempting to do?
thanks

Hi,
I'm attempting to use a variable to define the file name in my flat file connection (for error files in my SSIS package).
I have it defined as follows:
@[User::ValidRootFolder]ConditionConditionSourceError.csv
However it throws an error 'the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect'.
If I put the value of the variable in explicitly it works, so I know my variable name is correct - am I just not calling the variable properly?
Thanks

Hello,
I've been looking around in several SQL-Forums and in SQL Books Online but haven't found clear suggestions how to tackle my problem:
Our company has to fill a database with documentation for our contractor. Our subcontractors have to supply information from their branch/craft into this database, too.
Replication (without determining a type at this time) would do fine for data-exchange between us and our subcontractors.
But for working in different companies the networks are not connected
and in some companies/departments connection to the Internet is prohibited at all.
This would result in data-exchange based on files - which wont be a problem as data needs to be updated/exchanged only once a week and is usually done at meetings using DVD-Rs.
scenario in short:
- two-way exchange of data between SQL servers being not connected
- update needed once a week
- our server: SQL Server 2005 Standard (preferred)
- servers of our subcontractors: SQL Server Express 2005 (preferred)
That's the point where I dont know how to proceed:
Is two-way replication based on files possible at all?
I read about Snapshots, but to my understanding this replaces the "whole database" without caring about changes made to it and that's why it wont work for two-way exchange.
I would appreciate your hints how to solve this problem in general or whether I should look out for other solutions - MS Access might work with restrictions - but I would prefer SQL Server.
Thanks for reading until here and in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Michael__H

What happens is that the flat file connection non of the columns can be altered
you can set them in other ssis packages but not in the one that you want to use and when it comes to changes the flat file complains that not a correct file is set, even though there is one set,
and when it comes to altering a flat file source it complains that it can not find the connection and the database destination can not find the meta data BUT
when it is run it works perfectly,
so what i have had to resort to is making the part of the dts package in another package and then copying it accross

Hey All,
This is my first time using the forums here nor am I a SQL programmer. I'm trying to help a coworker figure out how to access files from a network share (using a UNC path) from a different domain. Right now we have three domains - Production, Development, and the Local. There is a one-way trust setup with the development and local domains, so using cross domain accounts is easy. Unfortunately, we cannot setup one right now with our production domain to any of the other two domains. Is there a way to pass production credentials from our local or development domain servers to a production server share? Am I even approaching this in the right way? Maybe there is a different method, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Can a SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database file be deployed on a file share and be accessed by multiple (5-10) concurrent users? This is a current scenario being implemented at several sites using MS Access databases.
Each client would have the SQLce engine installed on it and would only access the database via a managed C# application.

The Client machine is B, User credentials DomainBUser.
DomainBUser has a share on B that contains a BCP data file. DomainAAdmin has full access to this file.
If I log onto A (the server machine) with either DomainAAdmin or DomainBUser credentials, and run SQL Server Management Studio with Windows Authentication I can run BCP sucessfully using the following:
BULK INSERT [MyTable] from 'Bsharedatafle.tsv' WITH ( KEEPNULLS , KEEPIDENTITY ) However, if I log onto B, (the client machine and the machine hosting the share) and try to run the same bcp command, I get "Access is Denied".
