Is It A Good Practice To Put Send Email Task In Error Handle Event?
Mar 25, 2008
Hi All,
I need to send out email when error occurs in the package. Is it a good practice to put the send email task in the event handler? Then MaximumErrorCount is set to 1. But for some reason, some time I saw more than one email are sent out. Please advise. Thanks
SSIS : I have a "On Failure" precedence constraint that executes a Send Email Task for a Data Flow Task. Do you know how I might capture the error message from the Data Flow Task to include it in the Email (most likely as a variable)?
I'm trying to put together an SSIS package that will look in one directory for 2 distinctly named .csv files. The files will then be loaded into 2 tables.
The first task I execute is a SQL Task that checks to see if the tables I'm loading the data into are empty. If the tables have data, the package stops executing. If they are empty, the package continues to execute.
What is the best way to send an email out from SSIS if the package stops on the first step?
I have included the Send email task and sending email from SSIS package on Error event.
But for an error I am receiving multiple atleast 10-15 email generated. i got only 2 emails with revelant error message and other email gives message like "
Thread "WorkThread1" received a shutdown signal and is terminating. The user requested a shutdown, or an error in another thread is causing the pipeline to shutdown."
I have included ''@[System::ErrorDescription]' as an email attachment.
Is there any way to get only specific relevant error email.
I want to watch a directory 24 hours a day to launch SSIS packages as files arrive. There are several options I have found to accomplish this:
Use the WMI Event Watcher task in SSIS to launch the packages as files arrive. Leave the package with the WMI Event Watcher task running all day long everyday Create a Windows service that uses WMI to detect file arrival and launch packages Schedule SQL Server Agent to run the package when a WMI event is raised
What is the best practice? Are there better approaches that I have not listed?
I am generating the text file on run time using flat file destination. The text file is generated on the location C: SSIS or D:SSIS based on the location specified in the configuration file.
The text file contains the non matching rows during lookup transform task.
I want to send this dynamically generated text file using the send email task.
But while doing this, I receive an error during package validation:
Package validation error:
Error at send email task [ send email task ] : either the file C:SSISErroroutput.txt does not exists or you do not have permission to access the file.
Error at send email task ; There were error during task validation.
Please suggest as I need to generate the text file only in case of lookup failure.
I have just created and tested a package that uses the Send Email Task and it works fine in our dev environment - I guess this is expected as I am an admin on my machine and have rights on our mail server. But Im trying to document the considerations for rolling this out into a customer production setting.
Is anyone familiar with the security considerations or can point me in the direction of some documentation?
For example, presumably the SQL Server Agent Windows Account will need rights to contact the mail server? Will it need its "own" email account or can you just put any valid email addy in the from box? Presumably the account will need the right permissions to access the attachement file too?
Do these sound like relevant considerations to pass on to customer DBAs/system admins? Anything else Ive missed, am I worrying to much?!
I have an Execute SQL Task that saves the results in a variable such as, RecCounts.
I have a Send Mail Task with a message source of: [User::RecCounts]
However, when I run the package I get this error.
Error: Failed to lock variable "[User::RecCounts]" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found.
This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".
I am implementing a fax solution (Right Fax) and pulling email information from a table and passing into a variable. In order to send out a fax via email, the syntax is in the following example below:
Example:
To send a fax from Outlook to Jane Doe at 555-1212, enter:
[RFAX:Jane Doe@/FN=555-1212]
When the following syntax gets passed into the Send Mail Task, into the "To" line and the package is executed I'm receiving the following.
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.".
[Send Mail Task] Warning: The address in the "To" line is malformed. It is either missing the "@" symbol or is not valid.
I realize it’s a malformed email address. Is it possible to create a group and instead of the fax syntax pass the group name?
Can somebody guive me alittle guidance in how to make this? I have like 4 lookups but some can throw errors, and I need to know what happened when I go to the office in the moorning.
My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-
Date 10/25/2011 10:55:46 AM Log SQL Server (Current - 10/25/2011 10:55:00 AM) Source spid Message Event Tracing for Windows failed to send an event. Send failures with the same error code may not be reported in the future. Error ID: 0, Event class ID: 54, Cause: (null).
Is there a way I can trace it how it is coming? When I check input buffer for these ids, it looks like it is tracing everything. All the general application DMLs are coming in these spids.
Some body have this error : Could not generate mail report.An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.No global profile is configured. Specify a profile name in the @profile_name parameter. When i execute my maintenance plan.
I know that <asp:SqlDataSource> is fast, but is it a good practice to use this. The sqldatasource is right there in the aspx page and the SQL for sqldatasource is also right there.Does that not break the 3 tier model, as normally we call a database layer and we have all the SQL's there. In one of the code in saw the following. I don't know if it is a good practice to do something like this. <asp:DropDownList ID="CountryDropDownList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="PickListLabel" DataValueField="PickListValue" OnDataBound="hidePanel"> </asp:DropDownList><asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:webrepos %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [PickListLabel], [PicklistValue] FROM [PickList_Values] WHERE (([ObjectName] = @ObjectName) AND ([FieldName] = @FieldName)) ORDER BY [AbbrCode]"> <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="Account" Name="ObjectName" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="Country__c" Name="FieldName" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
is it a good practice to use autoincrement fields in an access database for master and detail? and for unique record identification. if not please tell why.. im currently using access and with autoincrement for unique record identification and for master and detail.. then there is a possibilities to transfer from access to mssql. will i encounter problems when migrating since i am using an autoincrement fields
in mssql is there an autoincrement fields like access?
dont be harsh ok.. just anoob trying to learn. :eek:
hi experts, i have a postcode database that i need to update. the database cnotains of 6tables, the file i ahev has all the information at once, so i have to organize it and insert records into the appropriate tables. this is the first time i'm doign this so i would like to know what the best way to do? do i need to create a stored procedure or a script, or may be something special and efficient that i do not know yet. any advise will be very appreciated thanks in advance
I would like to have a stored procedure executed once a week via a DTS package. The data I would like inserted into Table_2, which is the table where the DTS is being executed on, comes from a weekly dump from Oracle into a Table_1 via another DTS package.
I would like to only import data since the last import so I was thinking of my logic to be like this:
INSERT INTO Table_2 (Field1, Field2, ... , FieldN) VALUES (SELECT Field1, Field2, ... , FieldN FROM Table_1 WHERE ThisDate > MAX(Table_2.ThatDate))
Does this make sense? Or do you all suggest a different mannger of accomplishing this?
I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times before, so I'm after a link to a good answer.
I have tens of thousands of milk crates, holding dozens of different types of milk in hundreds of locations. I am used to working with objects but not databases. For this situation however I want the security of SQLServer transactions to track, for example, when a robot moves a crate from one location to another.
I am thinking of using SQLServer as a store. On startup I want to get my ecosystem of objects out of the store. While I am running, I'll just use objects. When I change an object property I want it to securely persist. I don't want to snapshot the whole menagerie of object states, just update the values that changed. Which will sometimes include the addition or deletion of objects. How do I do this? Is there an example somewhere that does this (or approximately this)?
I use VB and have Visual Studio 2005. (Which, by the way, is stunning. I thought all that "you will use less time and code more and better" talk was just hype. But its for real. Amazing product.)
Here is my idea but I am looking for the best practice.
Each record can have 3 possibilites.
I would read and write the data 3 times to different tables and add an identity key on all 3 files then I would reassembe the data back together on the identity key and map the data to a fourth and final table.
I cannot seem to get the FTP task to send files. I tested the process manually (not using ssis) and it works fine. I have tried many ways to transfer the files, using variables, including full paths, partial paths, etc. but I keep getting a "550 permission denied" error. I have rechecked all variables. Has anybody else had trouble sending files with the FTP task?
I just created a very simple package in SQL 2005 using the Send Mail task - i made a connection manager & specified the Exchange server - and then ran the package and i got the below message: I am not sure what i did wrong since the message is pretty general. Anyone help would be very appreciated. Thanks
SSIS package "Test.dtsx" starting. Error: 0xC002F304 at Send Mail Task, Send Mail Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.". Task failed: Send Mail Task SSIS package "Test.dtsx" finished: Success.
Hello, I have the following problem. I have a (Test-) package containing a task that deletes rows in a table. On Failure I implemented a Send Mail task that informs me about the output. Now the problem: If I run the package in BIDS on my client computer the mail is sent and I get it. The same is true if I run the package on BIDS on the Testserver where the package is stored. Also I get a mail when running the package as SQL Agent Job. But I never get a message when I simply execute the package from the Managament Studio. Then I get the error message: "The task Send Mail Task cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. " This is the same whether the package is stored in msdb or in the Filesystem. Does anyone know why this is the case or how I can get rid of this error?
I am trying to use Send Mail Task to send mails within my package and I get the following error. "The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for test@mail.com". Can anyone help me on this?
I setup a "Send Mail Task" task and an SMTP connection objection. I ran the package and got this error:
>>>
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting. Error: 0xC002F304 at Send Mail Task, Send Mail Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.". Task failed: Send Mail Task Warning: 0x80019002 at Package: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors. SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Failure.
>>>
Usually the SSIS error messages are too complicated for me to understand but this one doesn't say enough to be useful. Next, I purposely put in an invaid IP address (last octet = 3456 !) for the SMTP address, ran the package, and got the identical error message. I learned something.
What SSIS toolslogsstrategies can help me track down the problem?
I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file. The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30 WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile' AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message. However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?
I have a problem using the send mail task with expressions. What I want to do is send a mail to all email addresses stored in a particular table.
What I already did:
I created a dataflow task that retrieves all email addresses from that particular table and writes them to a recordset destination; After that, I created a 'for each loop container' that loops through all email addresses. Until here, the package runs without any problems, and all email addresses are returned. Now I put a 'Send Mail' task in this 'for each loop container'. I enter a smtp connection, a from, a subject and a messagesource manually. But of course, I want the 'to' to be filled dynamically on runtime. Because of that, I added an expression on the expression tab where I map the ToLine with the variable filled during the loop. And now the problem: confirming everything and exiting the 'Send Mail' task result in a red cross appearing on the task, telling me 'No recipient is specified'. Of course, no recipient has been specified, as I want it to be filled on runtime. What I already tried, was to enter a recipient in the 'to'. Then the red cross disappears, but when running the package I get the same error.
I've got a clean SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition installation, with a domain account configured as the service account. My application log is now flooded with the following error message:

And when I open up the SQL logs, I'm getting two errors - one is essentially the same as the above, and the other is:
Date 5/25/2007 1:51:00 AM Log SQL Server (Current - 5/25/2007 1:51:00 AM)
Source Logon
Message Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16.
Now I've seen all kinds of posts about granting rights to master and such - and I have, but these errors are not going away. I've gone so far as to create new service accounts and even switch over to the local system account - and the error still occurs. Does anyone have any insight into other routes / approaches I can take with this?
I am trying to explore the email task in SSIS. I have a task which has only the email task. When I run its not throwing any error instead it says successfuly run but I am not recieving mail. I dont know how to trace this, could someone help me on this?
