How To Capture The Return Code Of An Execute Process Task
Jan 18, 2008
Can anyone tell me how to capture the return code of a process launched by an Execute Process Task? I am able to capture the output by using the StandardOutputVariable but can't seem to capture the actual code.
I have an Execute Process Task within my package that executes a BCP command which outputs the resultset of a query to a file in the network share. It works fine most of the time, however sometimes for unknown reasons, the following error message gets logged in my log table - In Executing "c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinncp.exe" "Select Comments, SoldToCustomerNbr, ProductGroupingCode, ProductGroupingName, RevSumCategoryCode, RevSumCategoryName, ValidFromDate, DTSCollectPct, DTSPrepaidPct, DTSPickUpPct, DCCollectPct, DCPrepaidPct, DCPickUpPct From ShipmentTypeCustomerBlend" queryout \xxxLOGShipmentTypeCustomerBlendLog_060719201440.txt -c -t" " -SDummyServer -T -e"d:SSIS Error LogsJob ExecutionBcpErrors.log" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
The above error was captured from the System::ErrorDescription variable, by the error event handler, that was attached to the Execute Process Task. This error does not help me to debug the issue.
On running the below statement from the command prompt, i get the actual error message, which is the expected behavior -
This error message indicates that either the network path - \xxxLOG is not available for the output file creation or the file - \xxxLOGShipmentTypeCustomerBlendLog_060719201440.txt could not be created for some reason.
I 've tried to capture the error message from the StandardErrorVariable and the StandardOutputVariable properties of the ExecuteProcess Task, but in vain.
Is this a bug ? If so, is there a way to get the actual error message from the task ?
Dear list Im designing a package that uses Microsofts preplog.exe to prepare web log files to be imported into SQL Server
What Im trying to do is convert this cmd that works into an execute process task D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad>preplog ex.log > out.log the above dos cmd works 100%
However when I use the Execute Process Task I get this error [Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe" "" at "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad", The process exit code was "-1" while the expected was "0".
There are two package varaibles User::gsPreplogInput = ex.log User::gsPreplogOutput = out.log
How do I use the execute process task? I am trying to unzip the file using the freeware PZUnzip.exe and I tried to place the entire command in a batch file and specified the working directory as the location of the batch file, but the task fails with the error:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeeklyUnzip.bat" "" at "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeekly", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Then I tried to specify the exe directly in the Executable property and the agruments as the location of the zip file and the directory to unzip the files in, but this time it fails with the following message:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
The command in the batch file when run from the command line works perfectly and unzips the file, so there is absolutely no problem with the command, I believe it is just the set up of the variables on the execute process task editor under Process. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.
I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
The customer.bat file will have the following code: tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1"
the .sql file will be generated at: C:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1.
The Problem: The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIpackage_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
I am just trying to capture the return code from a stored proc as follows and if I get a 1 I want the SQL Task to follow a failure(red) constrainst workflow and send a SMTP mail task warning the customer. How do I achieve the Exec SQL Task portion of this, i get a strange error message [Execute SQL Task] Error: There is an invalid number of result bindings returned for the ResultSetType: "ResultSetType_SingleRow".
Using OLEDB connection, I utilize SQL: EXEC ? = dbo.CheckCatLog
EXEC SQL Task Editer settings: RESULTSET: Single Row PARAMETER MAPPING: User::giBatchID DIRECTION: OUTPUT DATATYPE: LONG PARAMETER NAME: 0
PS-Not sure if I need my variable giBatchID which is an INT32 but I thought it is a good idea to feed the output into here just in case there is no way that the EXEC SQL TASK can chose the failure constrainst workflow if I get a 1 returned or success constraint workflow if I get a 0 returned from stored proceedure
CREATE PROCEDURE CheckCatLog @OutSuccess INT AS
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @RowCountCAT INT DECLARE @RowCountLOG INT

My stored procedure works and codes is working except I need to capture the return value from the stored procedure and use that value in my code behind page to indicate that a duplicate record entry was attempted. In my code behind file (VB) how would I capture the value "@myERROR" then display in the label I have that a duplicate entry was attempted. Stored ProcedureCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.usp_InsertNew @IDNumber nvarchar(25), @ID nvarchar(50), @LName varchar(50), @FName varchar(50) AS DECLARE @myERROR int -- local @@ERROR , @myRowCount int --local @@rowcountBEGIN -- See if a contact with the same name and zip code exists IF EXISTS (Select * FROM Info WHERE ID = @ID) BEGIN RETURN 1END ELSEBEGIN TRAN INSERT INTO Info(IDNumber, ID, LName, FName) VALUES (@IDNumber, @ID, @LName, @FName) SELECT @myERROR = @@ERROR, @myRowCount = @@ROWCOUNT If @myERROR !=0 GOTO HANDLE_ERROR COMMIT TRAN RETURN 0 HANDLE_ERROR: ROLLBACK TRAN RETURN @myERROR ENDGO asp.net page<asp:SqlDataSource ID="ContactDetailDS" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:EssPerLisCS %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM TABLE_One" UpdateCommand="UPDATE TABLE_One WHERE ID = @ID" InsertCommand="usp_InsertNew" InsertCommandType="StoredProcedure"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="GridView1" Name="ID" PropertyName="SelectedValue" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
I'm trying to capture the file name and insert to the Database with Loop Container and Execute Sql task...However when I run, I get error with the input parameter.
In my Sql Task, the parameter mapping: Variable name: user::variable, direction: input, Data Type: Varchar, parameter name: @xVariable, parameter size: -1
connectiontype: OleDB sourcetype: direct input statement : insert into xtable(xcolumn) values(@xVariable)
Anyone have any other suggestion how to capture the filename and input in the database?
I have a package that I have been attempting to return a error code after the stored procedure executes, otherwise the package works great.
I call the stored procedure from a Execute SQL Task (execute Marketing_extract_history_load_test ?, ? OUTPUT) The sql task rowset is set to NONE. It is a OLEB connection.
I have two parameters mapped:
tablename input varchar 0 (this variable is set earlier in a foreach loop) ADO. returnvalue output long 1
I set the breakpoint and see the values change, but I have a OnFailure conditon set if it returns a failure. The failure is ignored and the package completes. No quite what I wanted.
The first part of the sp is below and I set the value @i and return.
Why is it not capturing and setting the error and execute my OnFailure code? I have tried setting one of my parameter mappings to returnvalue with no success.
I'm looking for a way to refer to a package variable within any Transact-SQL code included in either an Execute SQL or Execute T-SQL task. If this can be done, I need to know the technique to use - whether it's something similar to a parameter placeholder question mark or something else.
FYI - I've been able to successfully execute Transact-SQL statements within the Execute SQL task, so I don't think the Execute T-SQL task is even necessary for this purpose.
I have a SSIS package contains an "Execute SQL Task". The SQL will raise error or succeed. However, it sounds the package won't pick up the raised error?
Or is it possible to conditional run other control flow items according the the status of SQL task execution?
Hello all, I have the need to connect to a network drive as a different user id when my SSIS package runs. If I stick the command into a batch script (forums don't play well with Opera, so sorry for code block not working)
@echo off C:windowssystem32cmd /c net use \ServereeShare SecretPassword /usererverSecretUser
If I call that batch script from SSIS, at the conclusion of execution I'll have a share mapped. To ease deployment and maintenance, I want to refrain from using the batch script. So, I set my task as so Executable: cmd.exe Arguments: /C WorkingDirectory: C:windowssystem32 StandardInputVariable: User::FileShareMappingParameters StandardOutputVariable: User::FileShareMappingOutput StandardErrorVariable: User::FileShareMappingError
and the rest are the default values. The value of User::FileShareMappingParameters is "net use \ServereeShare SecretPassword /usererverSecretUser"
My task does not fail nor do the output or errors variables get populated but I do not get my share. Anyone out there run into a similar situation or have a pointer on this one?
We have an SSIS Execute Process Task which calls an executable along with the required parameters. When we run this package, it intermittently gives the error as shown below in red
Executing "ppscmd.exe" "StagingDB /Server http://SERVERNAME:46787 /path OSB_FY08.Planning.dimensionECFuncArea /Operation LoadDataFromStaging" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0". End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 5:05:08 PM Finished: 5:08:40 PM Elapsed: 212.203 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
We are not able to debug this issue. We had a look at the logging information as well but we are not getting any information on this issue.
I am trying to exectue batch file which is located on other server. Can someone explain how to use execute process task? I can see Executable ,Arguments, working directory, standard input v ariable, standard output variable, Fail task if return code is not success, success value when I open execute process task .
Also when I try to execute the batch file I am getting "Publisher could not be verified window and then its working after clicking the RUN button on the message. How can I avoid this in SSIS ?
For example I have the batch files located in some location \112.156.82.9\BATCHFILES\FILENAME
A batch file when being executed using the "execute process task"(DTS package) gives problems whereas the same batch file without any change when executed manually from the explorer runs fine.
The problem in debugging is that sometimes the same task runs fine and sometimes not....
The batch file contains code to extract a zip file(zipped using arj) to a paricular directory.
In the properties sheet for a DTS Execute Process Task, there is a input box for 'Parameters' which allow you to add command-line options to the task exe specified. How can you use the DTS Global variables to be passed in this parameter field? Is there a special format to indicate that the parameters are in fact global variable tokens?
i have designed DTS packages, I have a script component that picks up the 'Path' of a file stored. The Path is a column in database and that obtained from OLEDB source.
now i need to zip the files in the path given above and than store it in some location. How do I do that?
We are attempting to use SSIS execute process task.
In a cmd.exe session the executable runs with normal arguments:
mycmd < myscript.txt > foo.txt 2>error.txt
We have attempted to several permutations of this without success. We declared variables and assigned them to stdin, stdout, stderr. However, mycmd opens in the SSIS session as if no arguments have been supplied.
Is there some expression that is required to connect the stdin/out/err variables in the Arguments within Execute Process Task. The help/examples are terse.
I have a FOREACHLOOP container, that is set up to loop through files in a directory:
Enumerator: Foreach File Enumerator
Folder: c:myfolder
Files: *.txt
Retrieve: Name and extension
Variable mappings: User::file_name, Index 0
So far, so good...
Then, inside the FOREACHLOOP, I have an Execute Process Task, which is simply a .bat file that I am running, and passing the name of the file to:
For example: myBat.bat file_name
In the Execute Process Task, I have:
RequireFullFileName: false
Executable: c:myFilemyBat.bat
WorkingDirectory: c:myFile
StandardInputVariable: User::file_name
Everything else is set to the defaults.
However, when I execute my container, I get the following error:
Error: 0xC0029151 at Execute Process Task, Execute Process Task: In Executing "c:myFilemyBat.bat" " " at "c:myFile", The process exit code was "1", while the the expected was "0".
Is there anything I am obviously doing wrong here at the package level? When I run the .bat file from the command line, it works fine.
My problem is that I am trying to set up an Execute Process Task to run a C# executable. The .exe captures information from an ftp site and downloads it into a directory on our server. Here is the command line run:
C:SAXOEodinReleaseSaxoEod
I have set the Execute Process Task up as follows:
I have the FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue set to False because when it is set to true I get the following error:
Error: 0xC0029151 at Execute Process Task, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:SaxoEODobjReleaseSaxoEod.exe" "" at "", The process exit code was "-532459699" while the expected was "0".
Setting FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue to False does not work either because the files are not downloaded from the FTP site.
I am relatively new to the SSIS arena. I have googled this thing to death and have not found an answer. Any help in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks.
I need help with some C# code. I have build a SSIS package with an Execute Process Task. I need to send dynamic variables in to my C# program so I thought it was a good idea to use the StandardInputVariable.
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
On an Execute Process Task, are there properties I can examine to determine the outcome of a process? I know that I can use a Success/Failure constraint to direct my workflow appropriately, depending on the outcome, but I would prefer the workflow continue on to the same task regardless, and then be able to change the flow later on based on the outcome of the process.
I see there is an ExecValueVariable property, and this may be what I'm looking for, but I have no idea what this is and can not find any documentation on it. I tried using it, but kept getting a runtime error trying to set it to a variable.
I know that a process returns a numeric value, and it would be nice if I could store this somewhere.
Hi All, Would you please clarify me how to use or setup Execute Process Task, i have seen the document from microsoft but i need more detail and if possible example how to setup. what does it mean by Executable, Arguments, Working Directory, StandardInputVariabl, StandardOutputVariable and some example respectively. And how do wee set them with example, especially taking taking zip/unzip executable file. Please i need help and make it clear example. I really appreciate for your time in advance.
I am using a Excute Process Task calling a selfwritten EXE and I'm trying to pass a command line argument to it. The code for the EXE is quit simple:
Public Sub Main() Try Dim info As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs.Item(0) MessageBox.Show("Info:" & info) Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString) End Try End Sub
According to the help files there are two ways to pass an argument, using the property Arguments, which I guess is for hard-coded stuff, and the StandardInputVariable for passing dynamic info.
When I use the Arguments property everything works fine. I get the info messagebox with correct data. But when I leave that blank and instead use the StandardInputVariable property setting it to my package variable User::Info then I crash into an exception meaning that no arguments existed (array is out of bonds).
The variable User::Info was at first filled from a previous SSIS task and using the OnPreExecute breakpoint I verified that it contained a stringvalue. I then hardcoded a string value into the variable, but nothing helps. The task refuses to start my EXE with the data in the StandardInputVariable as an argument.
For the Execute Process task (such as for running .bat files), what is the "Working Directory" for?? Should it be set to the directory that contains the .bat file, for example?
I have several DTS packages that take data from SQL Server and exports them onto an Access DB located on the network. Basically, one Execute Process Task from within my DTS package takes the Access DB and zips it while another such task copies the zipped DB and pastes it onto another location on the network. All this works fine.
This export process happens once a month so each month I have to manually add a datestamp to the end of the Access DB file that’s being exported to distinguish it from prior month's export. For example, this month's export file would have AccessDB_20040727.mdb name and the next month it would be AccessDB_20040820.mdb (date is determined based on the date the output is exported on). AccessDB.mdb is the default name of the export DB and datestamp is added at the end of the file name depending on what date the export was run. As I said, I can do this manually each month and it works fine.
I want to, however, know if there is a way to automatically supply the datestamp to the Execute Process Task's Parameters' text box? Following is what I have right now in the Parameters box: \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All_20040727.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb
I want to take above text from the parameters box and replace it with something like: \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406FileName_RunDa te.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb
Where FileName_RunDate is a variable/placeholder for the name of the output with the datestamp the output is exported on.
There are three different Execute Process Tasks that are happening within each of my DTS packages so it's a time consuming job to have to manually add a datestamp to each package every month when data is exported.
Does anyone know if what I am asking is doable? If I can use a variable in the parameters box of each Execute Process Task’s properties and supply current datestamp values to it prior to executing the package each month? If so then what are the ways? How would I do that?
