How To Stop Execution Of DTS Package (during Loop)
Jan 16, 2007
I have a MSSQL DTS Package where it needs to loop/execute 3 times because the main task is to import data from 3 excel files (different location) into 1 SQL table. I used a global variable vCounter and I use an ActiveX Script.
ActiveX Script 1
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim vDate, vCounter, vBranchCode, vPath
vDate="011207"
vCounter=DTSGlobalVariables("gVarCounter").Value
IF vCounter<=3 THEN
IF vCounter=1 THEN
vBranchCode="ALB"
vPath="D:PROJECTSHRISALB"
ELSEIF vCounter=2 THEN
vBranchCode="MOA"
vPath="D:PROJECTSHRISMOA"
ELSEIF vCounter=3 THEN
vBranchCode="PSQ"
vPath="D:PROJECTSHRISPSQ"
END IF
DTSGlobalVariables("gVarPath").Value=vPath & vDate & "_" & vBranchCode & ".xls"
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
ELSE
<This is where i will initialize the global variable gVarCounter, so in the next execution..the value should be back to 1>
DTSGlobalVariables("gVarCounter").Value=1
<DTS Process should stop execution...how is this?>
END IF
End Function
After excel to sql dts
ActiveX Script2
Function Main()
IF gVarCounter<=3 then
DTSGlobalVariables("gVarCounter").Value=DTSGlobalVariables("gVarCounter").Value+1
DTSGlobalVariables.Parent.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_1").ExecutionStatus=DTSStepExecStat_Waiting
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
END IF
End Function
Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone,
After a Execute method I would need to stop a package but I don't know why:
sResultDts = pkg.Execute(Nothing, Nothing, EventsSSIS, Nothing, Nothing)
I have a Events class (EventSSIS) which implements IDTSEvents and have an OnQueryCancel event but without parameters, such so:
Function OnQueryCancel() As Boolean Implements IDTSEvents.OnQueryCancel
Return False
End Function
Let me know how to pass a boolean parameter because of I can't overloaded OnQueryCancel method
TIA-

Hi,
I need to make my package check a variable value at the begining of the execution and depending on the value of that variable it decides either to continue or stop the package execution. How can i do that?

I have some code that I inherited that I'm having an issue with. It includes a class for database functionality. At one point a call to a function, snippet below, results in a SQL error ('can't insert NULL into column MyColumn). What is amazing and frustrating me is that it just Blows Right by the Error! I thought it would raise the alarm bells, "hey! I got a sql error." I only see the error if I step through the code and look at the Exception that's caught. I tried removing the catch statement entirely, thinking that would at least cause an unhandled exception error, but no go.
How do I raise a big red flag to the user when SQL errors happen? And how could it not be doing that automatically? This is for an intranet site so I really don't care if they see ugly errors or not.
try{ sqlcommand = new SqlCommand(); sqlcommand.Connection = DBInterface.DBConnection; sqlcommand.CommandText = strSQL; sqlcommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text; nRowsAffected = sqlcommand.ExecuteNonQuery();}catch (Exception ex){ return -1;}

Hello, I have stored procedure that when executed it will check to see if a given name is found in the database, if the name is found, I would like to have it continue on to do its work, however if the name is not found, I would like it to raise an error and then stop execution at that point, however, the way it is currently working is, if the name is not found, it catches the error, raises it and then continues on and tries to do its work, which then it bombs out because it can't. I wasn't sure if there was a way to stop the execution of the procedure in the catch statement. I don't think I want to raise the error level to 20-25 because I don't want to drop the connection to the database per say, I just want to halt execution.
Here is a simple example of what I have:
Code Snippet
begin try
if not exists (select * from sys.database_principals where [name] = 'flea')
raiserror('flea not found', 16, 1)
end try
begin catch
declare @ErrorMessage nvarchar(4000);
declare @ErrorSeverity int;
select
@ErrorMessage = error_message(),
@ErrorSeverity = error_severity();
raiserror(@ErrorMessage, @ErrorSeverity, 1);
end catch
go
begin
print 'hello world'
end
At this point, if the user name (flea) is not found, I don't want it ever to get to the point of 'Hello World', I would like the error raised and the procedure to exit at this point. Any advice would be appreciated on how to best handle my situation!
Thanks,
Flea

Hello,
I have a resultset, which I pass to a loop container, to use as parameters in an ExecuteSQL task for each row.
However, I would like to do some parallell processing, rather then iterate through them sequentially. How can I achieve this? Is there a way I can make the loop iterate before sql task is finished, or should I be using soemthing else entirely?
I hope this makes sense.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Is is possible to get the iterations in a foreach loop to run in parallel? What I need to do is to spawn an arbitrary number of parallel execution paths that all look exactly the same. The number is equal to the number of input files, which varies from time to time. Any help is appreciated!

Hi
I am designing a ETL system to extract data from multiple systems. I have designed a batch control application and database to manage the process. I was thinking of extending this to include the execution of the SSIS packages. I would basically store all of the package details in the database, and when I am executing a particular systems load, I would get the list of packages required and loop through them in a ForEach loop. The question I have is can I guarantee the order of execution? I will put an order or execution in the DB and when I select the data, I can order by these columns.
I am concerned that in putting the data into a record set in SSIS its order could be changed resulting in the packages executing incorrectly.
Has anyone done anything similar to this and and run into problems, or is it not an issue?
Many Thanks
Michael

I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task.
The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL.
There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop).
Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package.
(For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)

Hi,
In one of my packages, I have a script component to do a transformation and I am inserting the output to table. Within that script component, if the data does not match my requirement, I have to stop the job. For that, I am using 'componentmetadata.fireError' to raise an error. The problem is, now even when an error is raised, the job completes by loading the remaining records and then aborts. But I want to abort the job as soon it raises an error. How to do this?
Thanks.

I'm trying to stop a DTS package from continuing to run after the result of the following ActiveX script:
Function Main()
If day(date) > 2 and day(date) < 10 and weekday(date) = 2 Then
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
Else
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure
End if
End Function
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have a package with For Loop container.
It looks like this:
FOR LOOP (until @IsCurrent < 1) [
[Execute Package Task 1] --> [Execute Package Task 2] --> [Execute SQL Task] --expression--> [Script Task]
]
So, in the [Execute SQL Task], it runs a stored procedure, which returns a 0 or 1 value, which is bound to the variable @IsCurrent. The variable then gets evaluated in the "expression." If @IsCurrent is 0, execution continues to the [Script Task]. That part works fine.
The problem is occurring in the [Script Task] portion. All the Script Task does is "sleep" for 3 minutes. Here is an excerpt of the code:
Dts.Variables("sleepCounter").Value = CInt(Dts.Variables("sleepCounter").Value) + 1
If CInt(Dts.Variables("sleepCounter").Value) = 20 Then
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
Exit Sub
End If
So, as you can see, if "sleepCounter" = 20, it fails the task, which should then fail the package, right??
However, the package keeps running, even after sleepCounter has exceeded 20. The MaximumErrorCount on the For Loop container is set to 20 also. So after 20 failures, this package should fail, but it isn't!
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.

Hi All,
I have some clarifications on stopping my package once cube is refreshed or processed.
Below i have given steps for the transformation in my package
Let me give you what are all the dataflow transformations that i had given in my package.
1. Data Flow Task
2. Script Task 1- I have written code for getting the last processed cube (global variable has been declared for Last processed cube date - lastProcessedCube)
3. Script Task 2 - I have written code for SS_Batch table where i can get Create_Ts date that is assigned to another global variable - create_ts.
4. Analysis Processing Task.
In between Script Task 2 and Analysis Processing Task i have given @lastProcessedCube > @create_ts for Expression and Constraint under Precedence Constraint Editor
Actually i need to run package for every 10 minutes which i can do it in Job Schedule and need to refresh or process the cube daily. Is there any way to stop the package once when my cube is processed on that day. Again start the package for the next day.... Is it possible to do this? Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,
Anand Rajagopal

I am using SQL Server 2012 SP1. I have built an SSIS package that imports flat file data from various files to SQL Server. I have got it to do everything I want it to do when things are going well, and am now on what I want it to do when it encounters a failure executing specific tasks and containers. For example, I have a Foreach Loop container that executes a dedicated stored procedure for each csv file in the target folder. If any of the store procedures fail to run for any reason I want to carry out certain actions.
For the most part I think I will be fine using the Event Handlers. What I can't seem to find is how to tell the package to stop executing on a Failure event after carrying out the actions defined by the relevant Event Handler. Or, perhaps it isn't necessary as that would be the default behaviour on a failure?

Hi everyone,
I've created a DTS package runs on every day and night, but now my boss was asking if I can insert an exception code to check the view file.
So.. I need help from you guys, cause I don't know How.
This is my DTS description.
My DB will generate a view called "Calls to Add", then it will run the Transform Data Task and insert into a txt file. once it finished, it will run the Batch file. that is it.
Now My boss wants me to add a checking code between "View to Txt" procedure. If the view has no record inside, than the DTS package should stop and not run.
BUT How??? Can someone please help?? Thanks

Hi, this is my first post and I'm relatively new to SSIS so please go easy on me.
Without going into too much detail about it, I've set up a simple SSIS package which does this in a nutshell:
Foreach loop picks up all *.xls files in a given folder
1 - Puts the name of the current spreadsheet into a variable
2 - File System Task copies the current spreadsheet ("abc.xls") to a file called "work.xls"
3 - Data Flow task performs data extraction on "work.xls" and puts it into a SQL server database
4 - File System Task moves "abc.xls" into a "success" folder
Continues with loop - move onto next spreadsheet
This works fine, so long as the spreadsheets all have the same number of columns.
As soon as one of them has a column missing (believe me, this will happen - we're dealing with users here) the package falls over at step 3.
When the package comes across an erroneous spreadsheet, what I'd like to do is move the offending file to a failure folder (making step 4 either a success or failure file move) and carry on with the next one.
I know that you can have an error path (the red line) from any step within the dataflow task, but this doesn't help me because the error lies in the structure of the spreadsheet and not the contents.
I've already come up with a work around whereby each file is moved into the failures folder just after step 2, then moved from the failures folder into the success folder at step 4.
This almost gives me what I want, although of course the package still falls over whenever it encounters a dodgy looking spreadsheet.
Is there any way that I can get the package to do what I'm after?
Many thanks,
Simon

Hi I have completed my first SSIS master package which runs a whole lot of child packages depending on value of expressions on workflow. (refer http://www.sqlis.com/306-3.aspx)
Each of my child packages is .dtsx file location and each Excute Package task uses the file connection.
The master parent package is also a dtsx file location which will be run by a SQL Server 2005 Agent
All good--problem is testing from BIDs--each time a Excecute package task is run--turns yellow a new tab appears apears in the design window --showing you that particular .dtsx file control flow detail. DTS never had this behaviour --can I turn this off in the BIDS ie as I have dozens of new tabs at run time which makes it very hard to keep track of the master package. All I want is the master package running from BIDs, and no new tabs appearing at run time???
Thanks kindly
Dave

I wrote a stored procedure that calls a DTS package that imports a file into a SQL Server table, then executes some commands on that table. How can I tell that the DTS package has completed, so that I can continue with the next command? Here is my code:
-- Run the DTS package
EXEC @Result = msdb..sp_start_job @job_name = 'MyJob'
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:02'
-- Call the table that the package created
SELECT * FROM <imported_table> WHERE ...
I had to insert a WAITFOR statement to make this work. Any other suggestions as to how to know when to continue?
Thank you.

Is there a method to either:
A) Kick of a DTS package directly from a stored procedure without shelling out to the DTSRun facility.
B) Kick off a scheduled job containing a DTS task from a stored procedure?
What's the best method?

Hi Friends,
I need help from you.
I am working on SSIS packages for ETL purpose.
The version of SQL Server i am using is SQL Server 2005.
In Brief , the working of current ETL is as follows.
In ODS database i have 2 tables i.e Table_A & Table_B which gets loaded from another 2 staging tables A & B.
And using this 2 tables data will be loaded into a target table i.e Trg_A.
The ETL packages are executed by stored procedures by creating a job within the stored procedure.
The loading of the trg table is little tricky.
Before that loading of Table_A is implemented in a single SSIS package.
and loading of Table_B is been implemented in another SSIS package.
In the trg table there are two columns which will be getting updated as and when each table is loaded.
so for the first time if i run the package which is resposible for loading Table_A, it loads values into Table_A and once done it will updates (col1) in the target table.
Once after the complete of the execution of Package1.
Now i will kick off the second ssis package which loads the data into Table_B and updates the trg table's columns (col2).
Now the actual problem what i am facing is:
For loading Table_A and updating the col1 in Trg table i will be receving more than 5 excel file every month on weekly basis.
I cannot even gather all the files and run using a For-Loop counter.
So presently i am loading data excel file per week .
Similarly loading of table_B.
For a week if i am executing both the packages which loads the Table_A and updates the Trg(col1) and Table_B and updates Trg(col2), then i am getting a Deadlock Error and the entire ETL is getting messed up.
Now my requirement is , Eventhough the 2 packages are run in parallel , there could certain milli seconds time difference while start of the execution in Job Monitor.
I need to implement a Queing Mechanism which takes care of running the packages in a sequential manner rather than in parallel. i .e i need to ensure only one SSIS package is running in Job Monitor. Only after successful execution of either one the package, then only the second package should start its execution.
If we can implement such a queing mechanism , then my problem is solvedl.
I need some suggestions on this regard in implementing the Queing mechanism in a programatic approach using SQL Server Job Related MetaData Tables.
or else is there in server parameter or initialization parameters which can be set at Database level which suffice my requirement.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for sincere comments on this regards.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I am running a package using 'execute package' inside a for each loop file iteration. I have to iterate through some 10,000s of files to ETL source data, a resonably complex package. I want to set going and get some sleep but every 200 files or so I get a memory exhausted error and the task fails. Is there a short easy fix to refresh memory each iteration. If so please let me know. Just ignoring the failure at task level won't refresh the memory, will it?
Thanks for the help.

In Dts you can loop a package by creating an Active-X script with something like this ...
"oPackage.Steps("DTSStep_1").ExecutionStatus = DTSStepExecStat_Waiting"
"oPackage.Steps("DTSStep_2").ExecutionStatus = DTSStepScriptResult_DontExecuteTask"
What is the way to do in SSIS? Depending on a condition i want to rerun my package but have not found a smooth way to do it. I guess you can do it in a better way than using the ActiveX Script Task
have a nice day

I have a package that has 12 data pump tasks all executing in parallel.
It is transferring raw data from an AS400 DW to a MSSQLSvr Staging area.
Each pump task on completion assigns values to a set of global variables, then having done this passes these as parameters to a sproc which inserts them into a table.
This seems to work for 4 or 5 of the pump tasks but, the rest of the rows in the table are all the same because the remaining pump tasks are all executing before the sprocs.
Is there a way to make sure that the entire set of job steps completes, before starting another job set of steps while still keeping them running in parallel.
I had wondered if there was a way to use the PumpComplete phase of each pump step to fire off the sproc, but can't see how you execute the step.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi:
I need a user to pass an input to a package from a VB form, and then want to show progress/errors in the form.
I have been able to use Application. LoadFromSqlServer and I then set pkg.Variables.(MyVariable) to the required value before calling Execute.
Works fine so far.
I dont know how to show progress. The DTSExecResult just returns a Cryptic Success /Failure status message.
Is there a way to log the errors if any to my Windows form? I have seen samples on Console Apps(see below) but I would prefer to show it in my Windows form in a text Box or something, appending each error result to the text.
TIA
