How To Check The Number Of Rows Transfered In The Dataflow Task By Using Dtexec Utility
Jun 6, 2007
We run the SSIS through tidal scheduling agent using the dtexec utility. We want to see the number of rows transfered while running or after it has run our package. We require answers for the following:
1) How to see the number of rows transfered while running the package using dtexec utility
2) what parameter should be used in dtexec command line to get the number of rows transfered in the Log file after execution.
I have stumbled on a problem with running a large number of SSIS packages in parallel, using the €œdtexec€? command from inside an SQL Server job.
I€™ve described the environment, the goal and the problem below. Sorry if it€™s a bit too long, but I tried to be as clear as possible.
The environment: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, SQL Server 2005 32bit Enterprise Edition SP2.
The goal: We have a large number of text files that we€™re loading into a staging area of a data warehouse (based on SQL Server 2k5, as said above).
We have one €œmain€? SSIS package that takes a list of files to load from an XML file, loops through that list and for each file in the list starts an SSIS package by using €œdtexec€? command. The command is started asynchronously by using system.diagnostics.process.start() method. This means that a large number of SSIS packages are started in parallel. These packages perform the actual loading (with BULK insert).
I have successfully run the loading process from the command prompt (using the dtexec command to start the main package) a number of times.
In order to move the loading to a production environment and schedule it, we have set up an SQL Server Agent job. We€™ve created a proxy user with the necessary rights (the same user that runs the job from command prompt), created an the SQL Agent job (there is one step of type €œcmdexec€? that runs the €œmain€? SSIS package with the €œdtexec€? command).
If the input XML file for the main package contains a small number of files (for example 10), the SQL Server Agent job works fine €“ the SSIS packages are started in parallel and they finish work successfully.
The problem: When the number of the concurrently started SSIS packages gets too big, the packages start to fail. When a large number of SSIS package executions are already taking place, the new dtexec commands fail after 0 seconds of work with an empty error message.
Please bear in mind that the same loading still works perfectly from command prompt on the same server with the same user. It only fails when run from the SQL Agent Job.
I€™ve tried to understand the limit, when do the packages start to fail, and I believe that the threshold is 80 parallel executions (I understand that it might not be desirable to start so many SSIS packages at once, but I€™d like to do it despite this).
Additional information:
The dtexec utility provides an error message where the package variables are shown and the fact that the package ran 0 seconds, but the €œMessage€? is empty (€œMessage: €œ). Turning the logging on in all the packages does not provide an error message either, just a lot of run-time information. The try-catch block around the process.start() script in the main package€™s script task also does not reveal any errors. I€™ve increased the €œmax worker threads€? number for the cmdexec subsystem in the msdb.dbo.syssubsystems table to a safely high number and restarted the SQL Server, but this had no effect either.
The request:
Can anyone give ideas what could be the cause of the problem? If you have any ideas about how to further debug the problem, they are also very welcome. Thanks in advance!
I got a text file with two columns. and I need to generate a integer key automatically with the row number (or any distinct number, I thought row number will be OK). and when I make the data flow task to import this text file into a raw file I need to get the unique rownumber as Id. How can I make this in the data flow tak??
I have to connect to multiple server to get the various information. I am now passed the hardle of connecting with various server and now the problem I have package with using OLEDB source and running following query
declare @CfgServer table (cfgName nvarchar(100), Minimum nvarchar(100), Maximum nvarchar(100), Config_Value nvarchar(100), Run_Value nvarchar(100) ) Insert Into @CfgServer EXEC sp_configure
select cfgName,Minimum,Maximum,Config_Value,Run_Value,@@Servername svrname from @CfgServer
Since I have to insert servername also beside config info to the table that is why I am using table variable
Now everything runs fine with no errors but there is no rows copied to destination table.
Please help. I already tried with temp table with same results.
I HAVE an SSIS Pkg that gets data from lotusnotes into SQLS ERVER 2005. This SSIS Pkg works just fine, when I run it from manually from Visual studio environment. However, when I run this as a dtsexec from command line it fails with the foll error" The product level is insufficient for component "DataReader Source(1). The dtexec command I use is :
Hi, I need to run a package wich is located on the file system of a PC. The problem is that the PC from where I'm running a bat file to call the package from the other PC where the package is, doesn't have SSIS. So I was wondering if this will work. I believe that I will have to copy the DTExec.exe file to the PC where my bat file calls to the dtsx in the other PC. I am right? My run.bat will have this line: \PCshared_folderpackage.dtsx. Will this work? Thanks
I developed my package in BI studio and tested runnning it through BI. Now when i have to deploy the package to main server it will be executed via batch job. This package requires an input file name too. Now when i am trying to run the package on my loacal box using following command on command prormpt i get error given below.

PLease let me know solution to creating batch job for executing this pkg with input param.
I'm trying to call the SQL 2012 SSIS packages deployed in SSISDB from batch files from another client system. But I couldn't find the DTExec.exe file in the 110Binn folder. How can I install this utility? Can I get this utility with client installation or do I need to install Server components which need license. I donot have license to install server component. how to install the DTExec utility without any licensing and provide me the Setup link where I can download and install.

How can we monitor the all tables in all databases and send notifications to the team.Is there a way to check to find the no of rows and size of a table last month and find out growth % now
2: Dataflow Task: Datareader--Script componant--OLE DB Destination (SQL Server 2005--a single table --always around 600,000 rows)
How do I set up a transaction where if there is a failure the Truncate Table command will roll back---and the OLE Destination (A single SQL Server table) will be left the same as before the load started.
Another question with that volume of data --600,000 rows will a truncate table be pratical in a transaction
I have a table that I'm loading as part of a control flow that in turn is copied to a target table by using a data flow task. I am doing this because a different set of fields may be used from the source entry to create the target entry based on a field in the source table. That same field may indicate that multiple entries need to be created in the target table from one source table entry for which I use a multi-cast transformation.
The problem I'm having is that no matter how many entries there are in the source table, the OLE DB Source during execution only shows 7,532 entries being taken from the source table. If there are less than 7,532 entries in the source table, everything processes fine. More than 7,532 and the data flow task only takes 7,532 and then seems to hang. It also seems as though only one path of the multi-cast transformation is taken when the conditional split directs a source entry down that path.
Seems like a strange problem I know, but any insight anyone could provide is appreciated. Thanks.
Here is my scenario in my ETL process, I have one DataFlow task. Assuming that i have 10 clean records in my source database and i need to load all the 10 recs into my target table. IS there any means of cross checking the no of rows from source table and number of rows loaded into my target table.
I am getting the following error when I start debugging my Package, I am not sure what this is related to, but basically, input (datatype is a int, and its mapped to a column which is also int), so I am not sure whats happening here. The input column is actually a derived column, and its set as a 4 byte un-signed int, please advice on where should I start looking to troubleshoot this issue. This loanapplicationid is actually a user variable that is utilized by other tasks in my control flow as well:
Error: 0xC020901C at InsertApplicationCL5, OLE DB Destination [16]: There was an error with input column "LoanApplicationID" (1161) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".
I written a SSIS package to import a table from one database to another database. I used dataflow task with oledb source and oledb destination with fastload. For 2 million records its taking 5 min . The same import using DTS I am getting in 2 mins. DTS package is more faster than SSIS package ?. any reasons why SSIS is taking more time?
I need to create a ssis package. I want to import the data from a flat file to a table.
Lets say, the table has 5 columns -- col1, col2, col3, col4 , col5.(Assume that all columns can be NULLABLE) The datafile contains the data related to only three columns say col1, col2, col3. So when I use dataflow task to import the data from the file to the table, I will only get three columns, col1, col2, col3. Columns col4, col5 will be NULL. However, I want to populate columns col4, col5 with some values which are stored in the variable.
I want to be able to loop through a view and execute a dataflow task for each record. I would like to pass the value of a column to the dataflow task to be used as a parameter in a data reader.
I am getting data from an external source. External data has a column called "Type". I have a variable in my package which contains the list of types as shown below:
Filtered_type_List = 2,4,8,10,11
If this variable(Filtered_type_List) is blank, then I need all the data from the external source and if it is not blank then I only need the records matching to his list. How can I implement this in DataFlow Task?
In the control flow I have an "Execute SQL Task" that executes a stored procedure. The stored procedure returns a result set of about 2000 rows of data into a package variable that has been typed as Object to contain the data.
What I have not been able to figure out is how to access the rows of data (in the package variable) from within a data flow task. There does not seem to be a data flow source task to perform that operation.
I have a manager SSIS package that calls a generic loader SSIS package, via the 'Execute Process Task'. The manger package (amongst other things) creates a config file and and then executes DTExec passing the config specification in the Arguments property, i.e. '
It works as expected, but, I always get the warning message 'File/Process "DTExec" is not in path.', I know that it is because the exe runs and loads the correct package which then performs the correct actions.
Have I dropped the ball here? I cannot see any reason for the warning as DelayValidation==True, I could set RequireFullFileName==True, but I do not know where SQL is installed on the various nodes.
Hello All,Does the BCP utility enable you to selectively import rows from a flatfile to a table ?For example:The first column in my flat file contains a record type - 1, 2..7I only need to import types 1, 2, & 3Can this be specified in the .fmt file ?Thanks in advancehharry
I have debugged a Control Flow script task and everything went as expected. I put a breakpoint somewhere in my script code, press F5 and execution will break there.
Hi All, I want to show the error message during Data Flow In SSIS, if an error would occur. I am able to redirect the row in file but i want to display the error like "Error : Its Not Set". Is it possible? if please help me.
Hi, In terms of data flow tasks, when say we load text files into databases.
Is it possible to have it in a way so that if a certain record (line in the text file) fails to load due to watever reason, it gets written to another table, but the rest of the records still get loaded?
I try to do so and end up with the whole data flow task failing and it stalls at the record that had the error and doesn't seem to continue forward.
I just used the red arrow (on failure) and put that to another SQL destination object. But yeah that didnt work.
If someone has a better way of doing so, would be awesome if you can share that.
I have a problem whit loading XML-files into SQL server.
I iterate over the XML-files with the "for each file" component and use the XML source within a Data flow task. This works great until the file count got bigger. After say 1000 files the XML source returns error 0x8007000E. I think this means out of memory. Does anyone have an idea how to solv this. The load must be able to handle up to 5000 files in one batch.
Does anyone know how to create an eventhandler for a dataflow task specific events (OnPipelinePostEndOfRowset, OnPipelineRowsSent, etc.)? These events are available for logging via the standard logging infrastructure, but there seems to no eventhandler for them.
The reason I'm interested is that parsing information logged by these events using builtin log providers is not easy (eg., the number of rows sent gets burried somewhere in the message column (i'm using sql provider). I'd like to capture this information and record it cleanly in a custom ssis metadata database i'm building. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.
Maybe I am mistaken ( most likely ). But I am missing a dataflow task, which would do something similar like Throw Execption.
The project I am currently working on needs to validate a lot of different data. And sometimes incorrect data ( corrupted, incomplete or unexepected ) is coming from the source system. In case of this I need to trigger an error and discard the complete row or batch depending on the situation.
For example: In our source system we have some flag fields. And certain combinations of flags are not logical (business rules) but the system allows data to be inputted in this unlogical ways. And because we are creating the system I am expecting some combinations flags which are allowed but not properly defined in the specification.
So when I use a conditional split, I want the default output to trigger an error instead of an output.
How can I pass a variable to a DataReader in a DataFlow task?
My SqlCommand for the DataReader is: SELECT CustName, CustCode FROM Customers WHERE CustCode = '?'
The DataFlow task is nested in a ForEach loop. I confirmed that the variable is changing with each loop by using a ScriptTaks and a message box. However, the DataReader SqlCommand does not seem to be updating.
I am trying to use an XML Source on xml data from an XML webservice, I am putting the document into a variable the trying to import the data from there with the XML Source, but I am getting an error telling me that truncation occured
The Error is "[XML Source [1]] Error: The "component "XML Source" (1)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "linking" (1579)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component."
The linking column mensioned in the error is sometime quite a long string but there is nowhere in the XML Source editor to change the size.
HI, I have to copy tables (approx. 60) content from one database to another using SSIS. I know that I can call an execute SQL task to execute an INSERT INTO <target table> SELECT * FROM <source table>.
I was wondering if I could use a single dataflow and change its source and target transform data source to do the same as above. In a script component, is it possible to load a package and modify its dataflow to simulate the INSERT INTO <target table> SELECT * FROM <source table>?
