How To Execute An Executable Using A Sqlserver Job
Jun 14, 1999
I am trying to run an executable via a scheduled sqlserver job. I have set the jobstep type to CMDEXEC; and the commands for the jobstep that I have tried are:
start c:estinsertindb.exe
c:estinsertindb.exe
c:estinsert.bat
insert.bat above contains c:estinsertdb.exe or
start c:estinsertdb.exe
Is there an exception that will not allow a job to run an exe file?
I am running into a similar problem using the NT scheduler via the "at" command.
With NT, I run a bat file with the following command to create a scheduled task or job (at 10:10 /every:M,W,F c:estinsertdb.exe).
At 10:10, when the job is scheduled to run, nothing happens; but if I edit the job and manually start the job, it runs.
Could anybody tell me how can I stop the executable program which I am using in Arguments field of Execute Process Task Editor window. My SSIS process based on three steps.
1. retrieve the file from FTP location 2. Process the file by using windows 32bit application 3. transfer the processed file back to FTP location
The problem occurs in step 2, it opens the win32 application for processing and it does process BUT after that it won't exit untill I close it manually, so it never reaches to step 3 if I don't close it.
I have an execute process task set up to run ftp.exe and a script argument. Â The ftp.exe is referenced in the executable field without a qualified path. Â The package just seems to know it's there relatively. Â I need to change this to run a secured ftp executable that I recently installed on my pc. Â I put the new executable in the WindowsSystem32 folder where the old ftp.exe is stored. Â But when I put the new executable in the executable field, it says the 'File/Process "FTPS.exe" is not in path'. Â I get the same error when I fully qualify the path. Â Is there something I need to do with the new executable for SSIS to pick it up without having to fully qualify the path?
I am having a hard time setting the executable path for an Execute Process Task in SSIS. I have a variable that is initialized at package statup which holds the path to an executable in Windows. When I set the property "Executable" Path in an expression, I get a warning that the path for the executable is not set. One workaround was to try and initialize the variable with a bogus path with the hopes that the "correct" value will be written on run-time. NO LUCK. I still get the error and I cannot run the package until I put a static path.
If I kick off my C# executable from the server everything works fine but if I have another C# executable kick off the C# executable that runs the SSIS I get an error message saying it cannot run SSIS package. I am thinking it sounds like a permissions problem but not sure. Any suggestions/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Errors I am getting.

To run a remainder service that shoots a mail once everyday to all users of a subscribed service satisfying a pre-determined criteria, I'm planning to use a Sql Server Agent Job. In the first step of the Job, I'll have a stored procedure that gets all the records matching that criteria & store it in a table.
In the next step, I want a Windows Service (as there need not be any interface & my project requires easy deployment & minimal manual intervention) to fetch the records from the above table & shoot mails to users of the subscribed service. Several thousand mails may have to be sent this way. In order not to strain Sql server & also avoid extended stored procedures due to safety reasons, I'm considering using this windows service.
I want to know
1) how to make the Sql Server Agent execute the Windows service?
2) abt code or resources on how to write a vb.net Windows service that will work through a recordset & send mails.
3) from a perfomance point of view, if this method is feasible? If not, what are the other efficient alternatives.
Hi, I execute my ssis from BI without problem (debug mode), but when I import into SQL server and try to run with logging on sqlserver provider always my package failure.
If option of logging is empty all works fine (No one logging method is active). There is some permission to set for this option?
I use into SiSS ole db native client connection.
Hope some one can help me. Alen Italy
This belove is the error...
--------- An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E37 Description: "La transazione distribuita è stata completata. Integrare questa sessione in una nuova transazione o nella transazione Null.".
I'm trying to initiate an executable from a job step. This executable functions normally from a command prompt on the server and will initiate properly from a DTS package that is executed locally by a logged in user. It won't run from Query Analyzer, an Operating System Command jobstep, or a scheduled DTS package. The executable creates a report that gets written to disk and a window shows briefly during execution.
MS SQL 2000 on Win2K.
Any clues as to how to run this executable from a scheduled jobstep?
We have a job set up that runs a Visual Basic executable file. It was running fine. We just upgraded to SQL2000. The job still seems to run ok, but we are getting a message that the job failed. "The step did not generate any output. Process Exit Code -1073741819. The step failed." Yet, when we check the output tables, it seems as though the job ran ok. The programmer is not passing any exit codes. Any ideas?
Hi, I'm new to SQL and I just got a new job with very little hands on training. I have executed a CreateTables.sql and now my boss wants me to run a Conversion.exe file. I am not sure how to do that, any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Laura
Hi, I have a small Vb project( it is triggers Crystal report to run) which should be scheduled with SQL 7.0.
Project itself runs without any problem.
When I schedule a job to run that Myproject.exe with WIN95 Or create a DTS package and execute it on WINNT it also works fine.
But when I am trying to schedule that package OR create a separate job on WINNT to run Myproject.exe- nothing happen(it run 47 hours since yeasterday-nothing happen) Also under Job/Edit/Step1/Command I am using the following command
either: Myproject.exe OR cmd /c "D:VB98f100estvbCrystalMyproject.exe"

I am having a hard time finding the executable file to start sql express 2005 or SQL exress 2005 with advance services. I installed the SQL express and had the desktop icon....but I thought i would need to uninstall it before installing SQL 2005 with advance services. Now I can not find anything to start the program.
I'm on a application server and i need to run a executable file from a SP, my problem is if i use xp_cmdshell (from the SP) it will try to run it on the SQL Server not on a App server, this a third party executable so cannnot be run on the sql backend.
Im trying to figure out if there is a way to embed an ssis package into a c# winform?
I know that I can pass variables to a package and write the entire package out programatically, but im curious if there is a way to add the dtsx as an assembly or something. OR is there any tool that would take the ssis package and spit out its equivalent in code?
I am having Windows 2012R2 Std with SQL2012SP2. Trying to add SQL cluster node2 but unable to locate the instance name when I click on drop down button.Understand that SQL Server Agent is required but it is not listed as cluster resource. Therefore, I perform the followingFrom Windows Power Shell with Administrator rights
1. Import-Module FailoverClusters 2. Add-ClusterResourceType "SQL Server Agent" c:windowssystem32SQAGTRES.DLL
Error: Add-ClusterResourceType : Unable to locate the cluster service executable on node1.The network name cannot be found.No problem to ping all cluster related names as well as fail-over to and from next available node.
I am in the process of downloading the executable file, however which am I meant to pick
X86
x64
IA64
I will be installing on a labtop, 256 memory, Pentium 4 1.7 GHZ
I have gone for the x86. Is this right? Also I know recommended memory is 1 gig but will I still be able to install. I just want to have a look at the procduct.
Hi, I want to install SQL server 2005 trial version from Microsoft, How do I know which excecutable to tale from these below? Self-extracting executables:

I am looking at documentation of CREATE CERTIFICATE statement. I am having hard time in understanding if I want to create CERTIFICATE with above mentioned options, how I am supposed to create either PRIVATE KEY file or EXECUTABLE file. any example would be really helpful for what I am doing here.
We have a static class that makes an HTTPWebRequest to get XML data from one of our vendors. We use this as input to a stored proc in SQLServer2005. When I compile this class and call it from a console application in visual studio it executes in milliseconds, everytime. When I compile it, create the assembly and clr function and execute it in SQLServer, it takes around 14 seconds to execute the first time, then on subsequent requests it is again really fast, until I wait for 10 seconds and re-execute, once again it is slow the first time and then fast on subsequent requests. We do not see this behavior when executing outside SQLServer. Makes me think that some sort of authentication is perhaps taking place the first time the function is run in SQLServer? I have no idea how to debug this further. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
Here is the class:
Code Snippet
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Net; using System.IO;
namespace Predict.Services { public static class Foo { public static string GetIntradayQuote(string symbol) { string returnQuote = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create("http://data.predict.com/predictws/detailed_quote.html?syms=" + symbol + "&fields=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,30"));
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
returnQuote = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close(); response.Close();
return returnQuote; } } }
When I run call it from a console app it is fine.
I compile it into a dll and then create the assembly and function as follows:
Code Snippet
drop function fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
drop assembly TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
create ASSEMBLY TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS from 'c:DataBackupsCLRLibrariesTestGetIntradayQuote_SJS.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE FUNCTION fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS(@SymbolList nvarchar(max)) RETURNS nvarchar(max) AS EXTERNAL NAME TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS.[Predict.Services.Foo].GetIntraDayQuote
go
declare @testing nvarchar(max)
set @testing = dbo.fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS('goog')
print @testing
When I execute the function as above, again, really slow the first time, then fast on subsequent calls. Could there be something wrong with the code, or some headers that need to be set differently to operate from the CLR in SQLServer?
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I'm chasing after a documetn that was available on one of the Microsoftwebsites that was titled somethign like "MS SQL Server Best Practices"and detailed a nyumber of best practices about securing the server.Included in this was revoking public access to the system tableobjects.Can someone post the URL where I can pick this up, or drop me a note oncontacting them for a copy of the document?
I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database
