Hello,
I am using SQL Server 2005 Integration Services to create new values for my tables. One step I must do is execute a query and the script task that receive its constraint (it is set to completion) must do different things depending on the query result.
My question is: how can I know the result of the precedence constraint?
Thank you,

I have a Job Step defined to execute a SSIS Package. This SSIS package contains a Script Task. The Job fails with the message "Package execution failed. The step failed."

I have an sproc that gives an xml result set. I want to save this to a file but by using ssis and script task. Now, I do exec usp_myProc in execute sql task and get the result as xml. (I can get it as result set too but niether has worked). Now I pass this variable to my script task User::XRset.
In the script task I create a file and then I want to write xml result of User::XRset to my file. I am at loss.
I am trying to create a SSIS package that will create a csv of a dataset for daily events in the database. However there will be days that there was no activity and thus an empty dataset. The package still runs fine but I want to stop the package if the dataset is empty.
FLOW:
DATA FLOW task: get daily data and put in CSV file
FTP TASK: upload the file to FTP server
MAIL/Copy file task: Move the file and then send a confirmation mail on task completion status.
Pretty simple and it all works great, I do have a few complexities in there. What I would like to add and I am at a loss is at the beginning, if the OLE DB Task resultset is empty then move to Mail Task otherwise process normally. I have tried conditional split, derived columns, the only thing I haven't tried in Script task and am not sure about that yet.
I cannot find the data type for parameter mapping from Execute SQL Task Editor to make this works.
1. Execute SQL Task 1 - select max(columnA) from tableA. ColumnA is varbinary(8); set result to variable which data type is Object.
2. Execute SQL Task 2 - update tableB set columnB = ?
What data type should I use to map the parameter? I tried different data types, none working except GUI but it returned wrong result.
Does SSIS variable support varbinary data type? I know there's a bug issue with bigint data type and there's a work-around. Is it same situation with varbinary?
Thanks,

I set up a connection to mysql using ADO.NET's ODBC Data Provider. And I'm running a simple query to return one table's maximum ID(int32 unsigned). There is no problem to achieve that.
But when I bind the result to a variable and excute task. It gives out error message: "An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "MaxAuditLogID": "Result binding by name "MaxID" is not supported for this connection type. "
I tried to change the type of variable around but with no luck.
Could anyone help with this issue? Thanks!
I had the SP, I want to call in Script Task , had the Result set data value then I need pop up message box. So how can I call stored procedure result in message box in ssis script task using C#.
and I want to use SSIS -OLEDB connection.
ConnectionManager cm;
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection sqlConn;
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand sqlComm;
cm = Dts.Connections["OLE_TEST_"];
sqlConn = (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection)cm.AcquireConnection(Dts.Transaction);
sqlComm = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("Exec dbo.sOp_xx_XXXe_VXX 280", sqlConn);
sqlComm.ExecuteNonQuery();
above code , no message box.
I have an Execute SQL Task that executes "select count(*) as Row_Count from xyztable" from an Oracle Server. I'm trying to assign the result to a variable. However when I try to execute I get an error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "RowCount": "Unsupported data type on result set binding Row_Count.".
Which data type should I use for the variable, RowCount? I've tried Int16, Int32, Int64.
Thanks!
In the Control flow tab, I have an Execute SQL Task that outputs full Result set into a variable of an object type. Now how can I write the contents of the Full Result Set into a text file using Script Task. I also want to format the following way while I output into a file:
Column Name 1 : Column Value
Column Name 2: Column Value and so on
I tried writing the contents of the Object Variable into a file, but the file had an output of single word: System.__ComObject.
Code for Writing the Full Result Set into a Text File
Dim RSsqloutput as String = Dts.Variables("objVariable").Value.ToString
Dim strVal as String = "File completed on " & Now() & vbCrLf & "------------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf
oLogFile.WriteAllText("C:MyFile.txt", strValue)
oLogFile.WriteAllText("C:MyFile.txt", rsSQLOutput)
I went through this link that explains how to write XML Result Set into a File, But this doesn't help as it writes in XML format.
Would you please give me a hint of code how I can go upon.
I have a stored procedure that is executed via a sql script task that returns a full result set. I map this result set to a variable or object type. Is there a way to use this variable as a data source in a subsequent data flow task?
A.
This is a bug that I submitted to Microsoft. I wanted to see if anyone could assist me with a work-around.
1. Create a new DTS Package
2. Add an ActiveX Task and change 'Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success' to 'Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure'.
3. Running this package will result in a Failed package.
4. Save Package as 'Failure' to local server
5. Create another new DTS Package.
6. Add an 'Execute Package' task, and configure the properties to have it launch the saved 'Failure' child package.
7. Add an ActiveX task and then click ok to close it.
8. Select the Execute Package task (which executes the failure package), hold control and click the ActiveX task. Add an 'On Success' Precendence constraint from the 'Workflow' menu.
9. Now execute the package. Notice that the ActiveX task will execute even though the Execute Package task FAILED.
10. If you change the Precendence constraint from 'On Success' to 'On Failure' the ActiveX task will not run, because the package thinks that the Execute Package task completed with success.
In summary... if a child package, executed by an Execute Package task fails, the Execute Package Task ALWAYS "reports" success to the following precedence constraint and the package continues to run. Even if 'Fail Package on first error' is enabled. Although you will see that the task actually failed while watching the status of the package execution.
I am currently trying to write vbscript in an ActiveX task that will follow an Execute Package Task. I am trying to make the vbscript check and see if the previous task really did succeed or fail, and then make the ActiveX task succeed or fail as required to make the precedence constraints work properly.
I have replicated this problem on many different machines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any ideas for my ActiveX task? I am trying to access the StepExecutionResult from the Execute Package task, and I have been unable to. If I can get the Step Execution reult, then I can in turn cause the ActiveX task to suceed or fail, based on the execution result of the Execute Package task.
Thank you for your time,

I have the failed path of many tasks pointing to a single Script Task that logs a failed entry into my database. In this script task, I need to be able to determine the task that faliled as I need to write a unique error message depending on the task that failed.
In my VB script, how would I determine which task was the one that failed?
Thank You!!!
a SSIS newbie
I have a package that used to work fine, but after I imported it into a different existing solution and tried to run it, it always stalls during the data flow task at the very end.
It will run through and process all the rows and insert them into the destination except for the last chunk. The task blocks eventually all turn green as well, but then it never proceeds to the next task after the data flow. Looking at the Progress tab for the data flow task, I get the following:
Progress: Pre-Execute - 100 percent complete
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: Execute phase is beginning.
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: Post Execute phase is beginning.
Progress: Post Execute - 0 percent complete
Then it just stays at 0 percent for Post Execute. The program doesn't hang or anything, it just doesn't progress at all. I also just checked and I run the package from its original solution and it is now exhibiting the same behavior as well.
Any ideas what might be causing this or something to do to try and figure it out or at least get more information about what might be causing it?
Thanks.
Is it possible to skip all steps following the script task results (Step 1) in a For Each container. I am iterating thru all the files in a For Each container and parsing a few lines of the file and based on the result I want to force the For Each loop to get to the next file instead of executing the next steps. Is it possible to force the for each loop to get the to the next file if the test criteria in the very first step (Script Task) fails. Any inputs will be much appreciated.
THanks,

I have two SSIS packages that I want to run in one SQL Agent job as two individual steps. The two packages run fine when they are in separate jobs. However, when I run the job conaining both SSIS packages (under the same proxy), the first SSIS package starts, but hangs in the middle.
I then tried setting the DelayValidation flag to True as suggested for a similar issue in another thread from this forum. After changing the DelayValidation flag to True for all containers and tasks on the second SSIS package, the first SSIS package ran completely through sucessfully, but the job continued executing for hours and the second SSIS package never started. I finally killed the job.
Any ideas as to what is the problem here? I have logged to the event viewer and see that the first package completes sucessfully. They run successfully in separate jobs, but I can not get them to run together within the same job without hanging.
Any help is appreciated,
Paulette
I have this SSIS package which just doesn't seem to run when executing as a sql job and I keep getting this error:
"The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed."
I read some of the comments in forums and they were suggesting to verify the command line for the sql job since there is known bug in the command line for sql job.
But that didn't seem to resolve it and the reason could be one of the variable values that I am trying to set.
In this package one of the variables that I am trying to set is the connection string and my command line looks like this
dtexec /SQL "TestPkg" /SERVER [SVRNAME] /MAXCONCURRENT "-1" /CHECKPOINTING OFF
/SET " package.variables[User::MetaDataConnectionString].Value";"Data Source=[SVRNAME];Initial Catalog=[DBNAME];Integrated Security=True;"
When I try to run this from the command line I get the error as:
Argument " package.variables[User::MetaDataConnectionString].Value;Data Source=[SVRNAME];Initial Catalog=[DBNAME];Integrated Security=True;""
for option "set" is not valid.
I think the issue is in the set parameter where it seems to be intepreting the ;'s in the connection string as part of its command (which I seem to be escaping by putting them in quotes but it seems to be stripping them off)
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there any other escape character that I should be using?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
I am new to SQL Server 2005 (but many years in SQL Server and .NET), and I am sort of having everything figured out for my company. However, one thing that still bothering me is that:
In the old Server 2000, you can execute a single step in a DTS package by right click the step and then click execute step.
In the new server 2005, I can only execute the whole package from the Management Tool and Edit the pack from VS 2005. Is there also a way for me to execute a single step in a SSIS package?
This is important for us, many thanks!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a package that has multiple data flow tasks. At the end of a task, key data is written into a raw file (file name stored in a variable) that is used as a data source for the next task. Each task requires a success from the preceding task.
Here's the rub:
If I execute the entire package, the results of the package (number of records of certain tasks) differs significantly from when I execute each step in the package in turn (many more records e.g. 5 vs 350).
I get the feeling that the Raw file is read into memory before it is flushed by the previous task, or that the next task begins preparation tasks too early.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a simple SSIS package that imports an Excel Spreadsheet into a table. The column heading got changed, so the package failed, as expected, but I would like an alert or some way to make the scheduled job show "failed". I tried putting an event handler on the :Data Flow" step to send an email, but it didn't work.
I would like to figure out the event handler problem, but more important to have the job show as failed.
For some reason the Scheduled job shows "success" even though the SSIS package failed. A better solution is to make the scheduled job itself fail, based on the package failing.
I've deployed an ssis package to the database server through the manifest file over the network..
The package runs great when testing through vs.net on my client.
I've added the package to a job step in the sql server job agent.
When I test the new job, the package step fails, but there is no error or log information in the job history.
Wwhere can I get error information? And/or How can make SSIS error information more verbose in the job history?
Thanks for any help or information.

Hi!
I hope the answer is as simple as the question -- but after reading all the documentation I could find (understand?) and a lot of posts here, I'm no closer to achieving the goal.
I have a Visual C# app, DAYTRACKER, developed in VS2005. It uses a database with several tables constructed using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I want to deploy the app plus the database plus SQL Express to another machine, to be used by a single user (the administrator) with no need for network connectivity of any kind.
What I have so far is:
1. The application is successfully deployed from a CD-ROM, having used the Publish process within VS2005, and opens on the new machine -- without database connectivity, however.
2. SQL Express is successfully deployed (it deployed as a 'prerequisite' when I went through the Publish process in VS2005)
3. I manually copied the database's .mdf and .mdl files, using SQL Server Managers 'Copy Database' function, then transferred the copies to the new machine into the ..MSSQL.1MSSQLdata folder (where they appear along with the master.mdg, mastlog.ldf etc files)
Now, the DAYTRACKER application's DAYTRACKERConnectionString under 'Settings' in the VS2005 studio reads 'Data Source=DELL3;Initial Catalog=DayTracker;Integrated Security=True' (which are the appropriate parameters for the machine, DELL3, on which I wrote the program.)
The problem, of course, is that SQL Express on the new machine doesn't connect the application to the database. When I go to the 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' and go to the 'SQL Server 2005 Services' and double-click on the 'SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)' icon (the service is running) and the user is logged on using 'Local System Account'. Under the 'Service' tab the Host Name is 'MUSIC' (which is the name of the new machine I've installed the app onto -- which of course is not the name - DELL3 - that the app's connection string is expecting). Under the 'Advanced' tab, I've tried correcting the name of the Startup Parameters default .mdf and .mdl entries to ..DayTracker.mdf and ..DayTracker_log.mdl, but the server won't start up after I make the changes.
What I'm hoping for: a step-by-step way of doing this type of deployment, preferable getting it all onto one CD-ROM, and installing it on the new machine so that it all works seamlessly from the start, not requiring any 'tweaking' of the SQLServer Express settings by the end-user.
But I'll take pretty much anything that fixes the specific db connectivity problem I've described.
Thank you very much.

I have an SSIS job that has been running overnight sucessfully has for the last two nights failed with the message:
A fatal error occurred while reading the input stream from the network. The session will be terminated.
Error: 4014, Severity: 20, State: 2.
The message is logged in both the SQL log and the application event log.
As this job step involves copying from one database to another on the current server, it is hard to account for the error. Had the error occurred in an earlier job step when database is restored to the current server from a share on another server, the error would be understandable.
The SQL server is SQL2005 SP2 running on Windows 2003 Sp1. I have been unable to locate any changes in the time frame that would account for this error.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
When adding an SSIS step to a SQL Server Agent job, when selecting the location of a config file, the dialog lets you select from the database server you're working with. If selecting the location of the package itself (when the source is File System), the dialog lets you select from the machine where Management Studio is sitting instead of from the database server. Is that intentional? And if so, why? Should I just use a fully qualified file name for the package location rather than one using a drive letter?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi need to know how many rows are in a certain table and store this value in a variable in order to process this variable later in the package. of course i can build a data flow task within a row count component but as far as i understand it's necessary to read all data from a data source in order to use the row count component. now the question is if it's possible to use a sql task in the control flow and put a select count(*) statement within the task and then write the result of this select statement into a variable. shouldn't that be much more faster than using a whole dataflow for this problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a SQL Task configured to return a single row, and a single column value. The SQL Statement looks like this;
SELECT MAX(InvoiceDate) AS InvoiceDate
FROM dbo.DailySettlementData
The statement parses without a problem. In the 'Result Set' of the SQL Task I have the following;
Result Name; InvoiceDate, Variable Name; LatestTableDate
'LatestTableDate' is of type 'DateTime' (and I'm wondering now if this needs to be of type 'Object')
I need this MAX(InvoiceDate) value in a later step that checks this value against another date type variable.
I'm not getting the result I expect. Do I have the variable for the result set in the SQL Task set up correctly?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I have to transport a big database table and can't read it at once with "select * from table" because the table is bigger than my system memory.
Is there a way to read the table step by step? I thought it was possible with ADO and his serverside cursors but I don't now how. I need an "universal" solution that works on SQL Server 2000/2005, MySQL and Oracle.

Connecting to a networked SQL Server Box from my local machine
Open Query Analyzer from Start menu, logging in using sa account.
from the object browser i select my stored procedure (WEA_InsertClaim) - right click and select Debug.
i am prompted to enter the parameter values, which i do, auto rollback checkbox is checked - click Execute.
T-SQL Debugger opens and runs through the stored procedure.
but only buttons enabled are the "Go", "Toggle Breakpoint", "Clear All Breakpoints"
so i can set breakpoints etc. but when i select Go it will not stop at the breakpoints it just runs through the stored procedure from start to finish. giving the correct return code as its output
is there something i need to enable in order to make it stop at breakpoints??

I have created a Test SSIS Package within BIDS (VS 2K8, v 9.0.30729.4462 QFE; .NET v 3.5 SP1) that connects to our Test Listener.
There is only 1 Connection Manager Object, and OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.
The ConnectionString lists: Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI
The Test Connection within BIDS works.
The Package Control Flow has just 1 Object, and Execute SQL Task that performs an Exec on an SP that contains only a Select (Read).
The Package runs within BIDS.
I've placed this Package within a Job on the Primary Node. Ive run the job successfully using 32 bit runtime on and off. The location of the file on the server happens to be on a share that resides on what is currently the Secondary Node.
When I try to run the exact copy of this Job on the Secondary Node (Which has been Set up for Read All Connections; Yes), I get an error, regardless of the 32 bit runtime opiton. At this point, the location of the file is on the Secondary Node.
The Error is: "Login failed for user 'OurDomainAgent_Account'".
The Agent is a member of NT ServiceSQLServerAgent on both instances, and that account is a member of SysAdmin. Adding the Agent account as well, and giving that account SysAdmin, makes no difference either.
Why can't I get this to work?
