We are trying to schedule a SSIS package as a job in the SQL Agent.
However, we need to schedule the job dynamically.
There is no fixed date (or period) when this job runs.
Is it possible to dynamically schedule the job?
The next execution date can be stored in a database table or a config file, etc.
If not, then perhaps we can include a task at the top of the Control Flow, which, will check if the package needs to execute "today". For this the job will have to be scheduled on a daily basis.
I created a ssis package on my local developer sql server, the package is to connect to another sql server, and export a view to an excel file and send an email with excel attachment.
If I run the package manually it works great.
But now I want to schedule it to run as a job in my local sql server, I cannot make it right.
What I did is:
Create my credential to map to my windows log in Then create a proxy account to map credential. Then run the job using my proxy account, but I keep getting errors, . The package execution failed. The step failed.
I have created a package that is using Execute process Task through which I am executing a C# console application exe. When I run this package through BI then it runs fine and it does not give any error but when I try to schedule this package as job then it gives error and that error is not clear.
Is it required to place the exe also on same server as SQL server. I put that also on machine where SQL server is present but still it gives error.
I searched a lot of articles about how to schedule SSIS package and do exactly the steps they told me to do. But it still failed.

Please help me! I have worked on it for many hours.
I have some SSIS pacakages that I want the user to be able to schedule dynamically from the UI. I know there are some stored procedures provided by Microsoft for this, but am not able to figure out how to go about it. Thanks.
I have a SSIS package which execute a SQL 2000 server DTS package. When run this package alone, there is no problem. But when schedule the job, it failed.

When I run manualy, it works without error but when I schedule it, the step fail with error: "Executed as user:... The package execution failed. The step failed."
This package contain just a SQL Task that execute a truncate table (it's for the test...)
I try all solution I found in this forum and others but all not works.
I have a SSIS package (say A). Is there any way i can schedule the package such that to check if a particular sql server agent Job (say B) is running (which runs every 1 minutes) and the package to execute only if that sql server agent job (B)is not running. The package will fail if Job B is running and Job B is scheduled to run every one minute based on a condition ,so it does not occur at uniform intervals. Should i have to use some script for this or is there any Task which can check whether the other job is executing or not.
I have a log table that track my SSIS scheduled jobs. This SQL Agent job runs every 15 minutes for now. The problem is, when I check the status(log) table, I see it fails and succeed at random. I have checked the history and I can't figure out why it is doing this.
Has anyone any idea what is going on? At least for the fact that the package succeeds after it failed shows that nothing is wrong with it. Again when I query my detination table, it is loading data as expected when it runs succeessfully.
Please any idea?

Can i schedule a SSIS package by not using SQL AGENT? Do we have any other options to schedule teh package? I have worked on other etl tools which have inbuilt options.
I have scheduled SSIS package through Sql Agent and when I right click on job start job as step package runs successfully but when I schedule job it dosent run.
We have some SSIS packages that are running on a recurring SQL Job. They work and play fine. They ran for about three iterations and then decided to stop....they don't report errors, they just don't do anything. They sit as if they were disabled (but they aren't disabled, I checked the MSDB database).
You can manually execute the packages and they work fine.
I have dumped and reloaded these packages and that hasn't fixed the issue.
If I setup a simple recuring job that executes a sql script every few minutes that works fine and you can see that it executes every few minutes. But these SSIS packages just sit....and do nothing. But they were working for the first few iterations.
I have also redeployed the SSIS packages and that hasn't fixed it either.
I have created an SSIS package which will import data from EXCEL file to SQL server. I had assigned the excel file path using an expression which wil be a combination of the folder path where the excel file resides + file name + date+extension. I also assigned the connection string for the OLEDB using the Expression. I have also exported the Folder path and the eonnection string variables to the package configurations and i have created the deployment project, which contains the package, packagemanifest and the package config file.
Now i need to know the steps to install the package in the production server and the steps to schedule the job in the sql server.
any of you plz give me the link to find the steps or plz tel me the things that i have to do.
I have a SQL 2000 script which I use to automatically schedule various backup tasks. This script adds and schedules a full backup once a week, differential backups nightly, and log backups hourly, in addition to a couple other maintenance tasks such as rebuilding indexes.
The idea is that a less technically savvy person can set a few variables at the top of the script (such as DB name and backup file folders) and click 'execute' to run the script and schedule the backups etc all in one go, for different clients.
Since some of the stored procs I use in this script are deprecated in SQL 2005, I am trying to replicate this functionality in SSIS but am having trouble figuring out how I can get all of this functionality encapsulated in the same 'click and go' manner where the user can simply execute the package and all the jobs will be scheduled without any user interaction.
Is this even possible? Where should I be looking for examples of how to do this?
Is there a way to control SSIS 2014 package execution schedule. I have 8 different packages that I have to schedule for this project and these packages need to be executed only when the data is available on the source for the package to grab. So the idea we are banking on is to create a Control table with package execution flag and when the flag is set to yes for a package that will be executed via SQL Server agent. How would I accomplish this?
i am transfering the table from one database to csv file format..i did it.. again i want to shift that csv files to another databse as tables. how to do this task.. pls help me.. its very urgent..out TL had given me the dead line.. send reply soon....
I have an ssis package that contains a DateTime variable named RefDate its value saved in the package is 8/31/2006. I setted up a Package configuration for read the value of RefDate from the parent package.I inserted a script task with message box to verify that the package configuration works. When I launch the parent package the message box shows the value of RefDate setted in the parent package. The problem is that when I use RefDate to dynamically set the connection string of the log connection of the SSIS log provider for XML files for the child package, the connection string contains the child value of RefDate.
Hi, I am new to SSIS and i have to develop a ssis package which will run in a production machine through VB.Net(2003) exe.I am facing a problem while setting connection string of SSIS package dynamically.Can anybody help me on this?
I have one share folder ,every month end-user will copy & paste excel file into particular share folder. Ok . Now i have to create new SSIS package as schedule should run every month to find the file and then load automatically into Sql server tables and then move those excel file to another share folder if file successfully loaded only. The excel file name will be changing every month. but the format wont change. If any body knows this process or steps. Please share with me .
Hi everybody, i'm a newbie to SSIS and I'm having a problem dynamically creating a new excel spreadsheet in SSIS. What I need to do is be able to dynamically create a brand new Excel spreadsheet after a data flow task completes.
I've just started using SQL Server 2005 Integration Services and I've come up against a situation where I need to name output files dynamically (i.e. based on a timestmap). Looking through this newsgroup, and other web resources it looks like my only option is to use a Script Task/ActiveX Script Task to rename the file after it has been created with a generic file name. I was wondering if there was a different approach or if there was a way to pass in a variable to the file connection manager that I could append to the file name at run-time.
I currently have a list of User IDs (in a flat file) and I need to connect to a database I have read-only access to, so that I can retrieve additional data about these users.
I imagined a package that ran a query something like:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE UserID IN (<dynamically populated from flat file>).
Can somebody give me some advice as to how I can achieve this (either the way I suggested or another way).
I would like to modify "Files" attribute of the Foreach Loop of type File Enumerator. This attribute is used to set the mask (for example *.txt) to specify which files to include in the selection. I need to be able to change this mask dynamically depending on package global variable. Is this possible?
In my SSIS package I have a loop container that I am running the same code against 4 servers. I have the package export the SQL data to an Excel spreadsheet that has multiple tabs.
Is there a way I can change the tab on the fly or do I need to create a Connection for the same spreadsheet 4 times Each Connection pointing to a different tab?
I tried to set up a expression for the Excel Connection Manager to use the InitialCatalog for the tab and change it based on the script in the loop however this causes the following error:
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.". Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
I seem to be missing something with SQL 2005 SSIS and I am wondering how I would accomplish my taks. With SQL 2000 and DTS we designed our DTS packages so that we could load one file or database from start to finish. We then have controlling programs written in VB that will monitor directories, when a file shows up in a directory it loads the package, changes the necessary properties and executes it. These programs handle all of our error notifications and dealing with the files afterwards, making sure files are complete in the directory before the DTS runs, etc. With .NET and SQL 2005 I have learned that I can change the properties by using variables and expressions, which I think would handle all of our situation but I can not run them remotely. The documentation says that I could setup a scheduled job and then call sp_start_job from my program. That seems like it would require a lot of scheduled jobs and then I still need to get the parameters into the packages. The other option is to use a web service, that would require IIS on my SQL box which everywhere says I don't want. Am I using SSIS for something I am not supposed to be or how do I accomplish this in 2005? I have noticed that you can not even run packages through the SQL Server Management Studio. We have a number of packages that are built that are run on demand when needed. In SQL 2000 I could just click and execute the package. In 2005 is my only option to setup some sort of fake job in the job scheduler?
Trying to figure out the best method of reading in a number of flat files, all with different number of columns and data types and outputting them to a database.
Here's the problem: They are EBCDIC encoded and some of the columns are packed decimal. I've set up one package that takes the flat file, unpacks the decimal (Using UnpackDecimal component) and then sending the rest through a second component to go from EBCDIC -> ASCII.
What I need is a way to do this for every flat file based on the schema for that flat file. One current solution is to write a script/app to create the .dtsx XML file and then execute that for each flat file. It appears like this may be possible, but I haven't gotten far enough to know for sure. So my questions are this:
1) Is there an easier way to do this (ie somehow feed the schema to the package and use it to dynamically set up the column makers and determine which columns get fed to the unpack decimal component.
2) If there isn't a better way, will dynamically creating the .dtsx XML file based on the necessary input/output columns for each flat file work? If so, what is a good source of information on this (information about how the .dtsx XML file is set up, what needs to be changed/what doesn't, etc).
I have an issue where I'm trying to export data from Sql Server tables (or from a result set in a SP or view) into Excel Spreadsheets. Normally I would use a simple data flow to do this. However, I need to do this on-the-fly because the schema of the Sql data is not static. The table could be a different one or the result set would have column schema that is not always the same.
The constant in all of this is that the spreadsheet columns and the table (or result set) column schema is identical. It's just that the column count and column names are not defined at design time, but would need to be defined at runtime.
Going from Excel to Sql Server is simple as I used a Script Task and the SQLBulkCopy class to dynamically transfer the data. However, BOL says that it's only one way (Data to Sql Server). Basically I need the to go the opposite direction now.
I have all of the information (SQL Table server, database, schema, and name and the Excel file path and name) already set up in variables and running through a ForEach container and I can dynamically change the variable information. I just need to figure out how to dynamically map the columns, create the spreadsheet file, and load the data into the spreadsheet. I'm sure this has been tossed around before. If someone could point me in the right direction I would most grateful.
