I created a SSIS package that has a flat file manager whose connection string is a package variable, the reason is that there is a foreachfile container loop to loop thru CSV format files in a directory and load them to a sql table.
The package execution is working in the designer studio as well as in the management studio-- a copy was saved to a sql 2005 server where a sql job is deployed to run the package. However when I ran the job, it claims successful but doesn€™t do anything in reality. If I checked the box failing the package upon validation warming, the job will fail with the error: the command line parameters are invalid. The command line looks like below:
One thing that I think maybe wrong is on the data source tab of the job step GUI, the flat file manager€™s connection string is blank, compared to other connection managers having related values.
I have a Sql agent job which will exeute a SSIS package. While, one of my data sources is an excel file. I scriptted the sql agent job and recreate on a test server, it fails with The command line parameters are invalid.. The command line has the following for the excel data source, and that is the place fails the job. /CONNECTION UserDataExcel;"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\myserverUserDataUserData.xls;Extended Properties=""EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"";" I guess it has something to do with the double-quote inside, Please advise.
I have a package that let me to import data from a excel book to a Sql server data base. When I try to run this package like a step into a SQL server Job it show me the next error.
"The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed."
the "command line" looks like this
/FILE "C:ProjectPackage.dtsx" /CONNECTION ConexionExcel;"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Da ta Source=;Extended Properties=""EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"";" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI and in my excel conexion is:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; When i run the "Command Line" in the "Command window" the error is more expecific
"EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES;" is not valid So I chanded the "Command Line" in order to run it in de command window(look the double quote in the excel properties)
/FILE "C:ProjectPackage.dtsx" /CONNECTION ConexionExcel;"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Da ta Source=;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI then the package RUN, but when i tried to do the same thing in the sql wizzard, it just dont work and it lost the threat from de package and the errors says this time:
Couldn't find the package
Some one who knows the answer or has any idea to helpme please?
Microsoft confirmed that the error message "The command line parameters are invalid" issue mentioned above is a bug and has been resolved in the next "drop" of SQL Server 2005.
has this error been fixed by microsoft. Cos i still get this error!!!!!!!!!
I am also trying to run the package from command line and when i click on execute the package it runs half way and hangs. What could be the problem????.
But when i run it from my Studio and stored package it works fine!!!
I created a SSIS package to import an excel spreadsheet into my data warehouse. When I run the package it runs fine. When I created a SQL Job to run the package I get the following error:
Option "Source=D:HelpDeskImportBook2.xls;Extended" is not valid. The command line parameters are invalid.
Now if I look at my source connection string in the job it looks like the following:
Hi, I'm looking into the idea of building an enhanced version of dtexec.exe that builds in some extra logging features. My utility will execute packages using the Package.Execute() method.
Thing is, I'd still want to support all of the command-line options that dtexec supports. For example, my utility should accept "/set package.variables[myvariable].Value;myvalue" and pass it through to the executing package but I can't find a way of doing it using Package.Execute().
Am I missing something or is this just not possible?
I have a ForEachLoop parent pkg that reads thru the file system of dtsx to be executed.
I would like to pass CLI parms to the command itself (dtexec). I'm not looking at passing values to the child pkgs but rather additional command line values such as:
/CONFIGFILE "C:myconfig.dtsConfig.
In my expression builder for the PackageName I added the additional string but during the execution, the reference to my dtsconfig is ignored without any errors and the child pkg runs using the default values provided at design time.
I am logging all the tasks in my SSIS package to SQL Server. For each task I am logging atleast the Pre-Execute, PostExecute, OnError events. For Script tasks, I have custom logging and I am logging the ScriptTaskLogEntry event too.
When I run the package manually from BIDS, the logging works great ! But when I try to run the package from a job or from the command line, the number of events that is logged greatly reduces. For eg. when manually run, I get 104 records in the log table but when run from the command line I get 23 records only. Most of the custom logging messages from the Script Task do appear. Its the pre and post-execute events that are skipped. Any idea why ?
Here is command line from the job. I also use the same command line with "dtexec" from the command prompt.
I've got here a strange Problem. If I try to execute the SQL Server Agent Job, that executes my SSIS Package, it fails. The job succeedes when I run the Job as the Proxy, that maps on the User, that has deployed the Package, or when I run the Job under an System Administrator Proxy. Now my Question - how must I set up an Service-Account, which is no Admin and not has deployed the Package?
I already know, that the User has to be in the sysadmin role, and in all msdb SQLAgent*
We executed windows scheduled batch failes that execute as DOMAINuser1 to dtsexec packages.
I moved these packages to run in sql jobs.
The agent runs as local system. In order to get the packages to run since they are encryoted with DOMAINuser1 key.
I created a DOMAINuser1 credential and a proxy.
I execute the SSIS package job steps under this proxy.
One day it all works the next day they fail randomly with the "unable to decrypt with user key" error.
I am very familiar with this error, however it makes no sense, thses packges are not being touched, no one is altering them and perhaps saving them with different user keys. They are all encrypted with the DOMAINuser1 key. One day everything works the next day they fail.
A master package will run and in the middle of executing other package it suddenly gets this error, like the proxy suddenly stops working.
How to execute ssis package from command prompt and also pass configuration file to it and set logging to ssis log provider for sql server. Writing all those options with cmd.
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard and upgrade from Express edition. The Edition Change check tells me I must run the setup from the command prompt "and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter", but I don't know how to enter this from the command line.
I've tried "D:setup SKUUPGRADE=1" and "D:setup -SKUUPGRADE=1", as well as "D:setup.exe /SKUUPGRADE=1" without success.
Can anyone give me a clue as to where I'm going wrong?

What is the correct command line parameters to SQLEXPR32.exe that will default the Log On As: properties for the instance to use the Built-in account of Local System & Local Service?
I need it to be set to Local System immediately on install without having to go into the configuration manager. When I run the SQLEXPR32.exe right now I get the Network Service defaulted.
Hello, the following code works perfectly in SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 Express over WinXP but when run against an instance of SL Server2005 Express over Win2003Server, the first time Command.Execute is invoked returns no error (even though no action seems to be take by the server), subsequent calls return the error -2147217900 couldn't find prepared instruction with identifer -1 (message may vary, it is a translation from may locale)
Any ideas? Thanks

I'm trying to execute a simple VBS file from the Executable command line in the Execute Process Task Editor.
My line is this : cscript.exe "c:convertcsvssisXlsToCsv.vbs"
SSIS keeps saying there are illegal characters here. Â I've Googled and looked about 20 articles and I can't resolve it.
I have a ForEach that loops through Excel files and changes them to CSV files using code i found. This script takes an original Excel file and transfers it to a new CSV file in a new directory.
So in DOS at the CMD line I would type : XlsTocsv.vbs originalfile.xls newfile.csv
I have the original file and new file in the Arguments line so I'm assuming that after the script executes it will look at the filepaths in the loop and loop through them so I want it do to this when it runs:
XlsTocsv.vbs [User::@ExcelFile] [User::@CSVFile]
I just can't get it to execute and I keep getting illegal characters. Â
I see a weird behaviour when the package is executed as a SQL Server job and via command line. The package has environment variables configured. So when I run the package via a command line it picks up the user environment variables and gets executed fine with success. But when the package is scheduled as a job, it fails as it is not picking up environment variables. Does the SQL server has to be restarted to pick up the environment variables? I dont understand the reason of not picking up the environment variables when the package is run as a job. The job runs as the same user as the command line and the user variables are set for the environment variables. The logging is enabled on the package and I can see that it is logging as the same user even if its command line execution or executed as a job. Could you please anyone can explain why the package fails as a job and doesnt fail via command line. I am fighting with this for a long time.
Hi everybody, I would like to know if it's possible to execute a stored procedure, passing it parameters, using not CommandType.StoredProcedure value of sqlcommand, but CommandType.Text.
I tried to use this: sqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(sqlPar) sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
With this sql command: "exec sp ..."
I wasn't able to make it to work, and I don't know if it's possible.
Another question: if it's not possible, how can I pass a Null value to stored procedure? This code: sqlPar = new SqlParameter("@id", SqlDbType.Int) sqlPar.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output cmd.Parameters.Add(sqlPar)
sqlPar = new SqlParameter("@parent_id", DBNull) cmd.Parameters.Add(sqlPar)
doesn't work, 'cause I get this error: BC30684: 'DBNull' is a type and cannot be used as an expression.
How can I solve this? Bye and thanks in advance.
P.S. I would prefer first method to call a stored procedure ('cause I could call it with 'exec sp null' sql command, solving the other problem), but obviusly if it's possible...=)
I'm very new to SSIS and I€™m trying to do the following in a SQL task
RESTORE DATABASE @DatabaseName FROM DISK = @Backup WITH FILE = 1, MOVE @OldMDFName TO @NewMDFPath, MOVE @OldLDFName TO @NewLDFPath, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10
I'm using an OLE DB connection and I have mapped user variables to the various parameter names. Unfortunately when i test the above command it fails on must declare the scalar variable "@DatabaseName". How can i get my values to be substituted into the command?
