Here's my dilema, I want to run a stored procedure that starts another stored procedure running, but does not wait for the stored procedure to complete execution.
The stored procedure should execute immediately, and leave the other procedure to complete running in the background. Is there any way to do this?
I want to finsih the execution of a DTS package from an ActiveX task. If a condition is ok, the package would continue as normal. If not, I want to finish the package without any error. Just without executing the next tasks. Do you have any idea?
I have been working with this for about a month now, and no similar problems to date. Today I am trying to introduce 4 configuration flags that control whether optional ETL stage feeds are executed. I did this by adding a do-nothing script component. The precedent and constraint is used, and it checks the boolean variable flag. The first package executes fine. But it never returns from there. This precedent has nothing fancy on it either. It simply does not run any more of the package, make any more conditional checks, nor the common completion tasks. It just seems to think it is done.
The optionals all fire execute package tasks. One thing that might be tripping it up is that I attempt to run one package twice, each time with varying parent package variable set to control it to use a different destination database for each run. Should this not be OK to do?
i searched and all i found is questions, not answers.
maybe it's a silly question, but i really can't find any documention / posts about this.
i have a scheduled job in sqlagent that executes a SSIS package that runs every minute. As a result, my application log in eventviewer gets filled very quickly.
i tried using "/REPORTING E" option with no luck.
i tried enabling logging on the package, and then select only the OnErro Event, no luck.
I am in the process of moving from a 32-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise (9.0.3054) to a 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise (9.0.3054 with 4 CPUs and 8GB of memory on Win 2003 SP2) and the process has been very frustrating to say the least. I am having a problem with packages that I created on my 64-bit SQL Server. I am importing a few tables from the 32-SQL Server into the 64-bit SQL Server using the Task --> Import to create the package.
Sometimes when I am creating a package I get the following error in a message box:
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
The SSIS Runtime object could not be created. Verify that DTS.dll is available and registered. The wizard cannot continue and it will terminate.
Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (System.Windows.Forms)
Other times when I run a package that has run successfully before I get the following error:
Faulting application dtexecui.exe, version 9.0.3042.0, stamp 45cd726d, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, stamp 00000000, debug? 0, fault address 0x025d23f0.
The package appears to hang when running. By this I mean that the Package Execution Progress shows progress up to a point then it just stops. (The package takes about 17 seconds to run normally) CPU usage is at 1% and the package cannot be stopped.
I have deleted and re-created the package several times and I have also re-installed the service pack on the SQL Server (9.0.3054) but that did not help.
The master package has a configuration file, specifying the connect strings The master package passes these connect-strings to the child packages in a variable Both master package and child packages have connection managers, setup to use localhost. This is done deliberately to be able to test the packages on individual development pc€™s. We do not want to change anything inside the packages when deploying to test, and from test to production. All differences will be in the config files (which are pretty fixed, they very seldom change). That way we can be sure that we can deploy to production without any changes at all.
The package is run from the file system, through a job-schedule.
We experience the following when running on a not default sql-server instance (called dkms5253uedw)
Case 1: The master package starts by executing three sql-scripts (drop foreign key€™s, truncate tables, create foreign key€™s). This works fine.
The master package then executes the first child package. We then in the sysdtslog get:
Error - €œcannot connect to database xxx€? Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
The child package then executes OK, does all it€™s work, and finish. Because there has been an error, the master package then stops with an error.
Case 2: When we run exactly the same, but with the connection strings in the config file pointing to the default instance (dkms5253), the everything works fine.
Case 3: When we run exactly the same, again against the dkms5253uedw instance, but now with the exact same databases defined in the default instance, it also works perfect.
Case 4: When we then stop the sql-server on the default instance, the package faults again, this time with
Error - €œtimeout when connect to database xxx€? Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
And the continues as in the first case
From all this we conclude, that the child package tries to connect to the database before it knows the connection string it gets passed in the variable from the master package. It therefore tries to connect to the default instance, and this only works if the default instance is running and has the same databases defined. As far as we can see, the child package does no work against the default instance (no logging etc.).
We have tried delayed validation in the packages and in the connection managers, but with the same results (error).
So we are desperately hoping that someone can help us solve this problem.
Hi all, I am creating a dts package to export files from one database to another database. I tried to search for ways to execute the files and found out that i need to add reference to Microsoft.Sql.managedDts. However, I cannot find this reference from my reference. Do i have other alternatives to run this file?
I am receiving an error on my master package that executes a number of other packages. The individual packages work fine when executed by themselves. However, I am getting the following error when I attempt to execute it from another package:
Error: Failed to acquire connection "conneciton". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
I am trying to run a SSIS package (called "Parent") that calls another package (called "Child"). The packages are stored in SQL Server (MSDB database) and are called from a console app by the code below:
Public Shared Function RunPackage(ByVal server As String, _ ByVal userName As String, _ ByVal password As String, _ ByVal packageName As String, _ ByVal packagePassword As String) As String
Dim pkg As New Package Dim app As New Application Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult Dim result As String = ""
For Each err As DtsError In pkg.Errors result += "Task: " & err.Source & vbNewLine result += ParseErrorMessage(err.Description) & vbNewLine Next
Return result
End Function
If I just run the Child package with this code, then it works! But is I run the Parent package from the same code, then it fails with this error: "Error 0x80004002 while preparing to load the package. No such interface supported".
The only difference between the 2 packages is that the Parent calls the Child, and the Child calls nothing.
The Connection Manager in Parent used to connect to Child uses SQL Server Authentication and it needs to be that.
My question: From VB.NET, how do I run a SSIS package that calls another package?
Hey, I've a few jobs which call SSIS packages. If I run the SSIS package, it runs fine but if I try to run the job which calls this package, it fails. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? None of my jobs that call an SSIS package work. All of them fail.
Can anyone point me to some sample code ord give me an example. I'm trying to run a DTS package from my asp.net/vb.net application. I don't need to pass it any variable, just need it to run. I can't seem to find anything on the net for this. Thanks in advance, Ryan
Hi I have one DTS package looks for specific file in a directory to process the data into sql. I have schedule this package to run every 5 mins. I would like to invoke the package when a file arrive at the folder instead up running it every 5 mins. Thanks
I am calling SSIS package from my .net code. I want to know whether my package is still running or not. And if it is taking longer than a limit then execution of package should stop. I am executing package in different thread like this
DelegateExecute del = new DelegateExecute(pkg.Execute); del.BeginInvoke(null, null);
As I explored, I learnt that RunningPackage class could help me in not only determining whether package is running butalso in stopping too. Unfortunately RunningPackage class is saying that there is no package running! Is Runningpackage works only with the packages running from MSDB?
Following is the code I am using.
public string LoadPackage(string path, long ThrashHold) { string pkgLocation; Package pkg; Application app; //DTSExecResult pkgResults; string str;
pkgLocation = path; app = new Application();
pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, null);
//pkgResults = pkg.Execute(); long startDT = DateTime.Now.Ticks/10000;
DelegateExecute del = new DelegateExecute(pkg.Execute); del.BeginInvoke(null, null);
When I ran a package directly on the machine with sql 2005 installed it ran at a fine speed. But when I used Remote Desktop to access the same client and run the same package it was much slower.
1. I think that the package is running in the memorycpu of the local machine. Is this correct?
2. Is there any way for the remote client to run the package in the server's memorycpu?
Hi all, I am trying to run a Excel macro from a DTS package.I've created the macro and Batch file to run a macro, and i am executing a batch file from DTS package.I am able to run a macro when i am executing a DTS package manually.but its not working when i schedule the process. any solutions? its not the security problem also.I've checked it.
I have a DTS package hat copies several tables to another Reporting database. When executing it as a apachkage, it works fine. However, when I try to schedule it as a job, it fails. I tried this with another package and it didn't work also. Any ideas?
A job that is owned by Domain Admin runs Joe's job every night.
Joe has left the company and his account will be deleted.
2 Questions:
1. Will the job still be able to run the DTS package ?
2. If I need to change the owner of Joe's DTS package, how do I do that ?..just a simple 'Save as' ?..and if so, I will not be able to save the DTS package with the same name...and thereby the job will not recognize the new DTS package name...will I have to re-shedule the new DTS package ?
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
We have 2 Windows 2000 Servers, Server2 and Server3. Server3 alsohosts a SQL Server 2000 Instance. Server2 DOES NOT host any SQL Server2000 instances and is used as our Application Server. We are trying tostop a "service" that is setup on Server2 by executing a DTS packagethat resides in SQL Server on Server3. So far, we have had little luckdoing this. In other words, if you execute this package, it tries tostop "service" on Server3 as opposed to stopping it on Server2.Appreciate any help and feedback.ThanksJagannathan Santhanam
I'm trying to run a SSIS package (dtsx) from inside an sql job (SQL Server agent). This works fine if the user running (run as) the step is a local admin on the server. If it's not, I get the error message "The package could not be loaded. The step failed". This happens even if the user has all possible serverroles such as "sysadmin" etc in SQL.
So, my question is, is there any way to load an SSIS package without being local admin on the machine? In case it is, what is needed?
I have to create a package that executes other packages I've already created... Every one of these packages run with the same Configuration File, but if I try to execute the main one, including the path of the file, I get errors from the other packages because they can't find it... How can I manage to pass this file and its content to the other packages??
Here a little explanation of te process:
Main Package needs configuration file X.dtsConfig, and calls: package1, which needs configuration file X.dtsConfig; package2, .......
I have a solution, and I have a few projects in this solution. Each project has a few packages in them. The problem/question I have is this: when I am working on one of the packages, I have only this package open. When I try to run/test this package, every single package in every project gets opened, recompiled/rebuilt before my current package gets to run. It's very frastrating and time consuming. Is there a way to somehow disable this weird behavior ? Is there a way to just build the package I am currently working on ?
I need to create a package that will monitor a table in a source system and when a flag is set, load data from other tables in this source system to my destination system. Today this is accomplished with a SQL Agent job that executes every 15 minutes. If there is no work to do the job simply exits. I would like to create a SQLIS package that checks this control table every 30 seconds. Can I create a package that runs continuously?
Do I able to track the exact process of a running package without logging this in to any of the tables.
For example if i am running a batch of SQL's through a application or in query analyzer I can able to track it through profiler or SP_WHO2 like this, do I able to track the SSIS Package (running from SQL server not from BIDS) which transformation it is performing and what is the status of it?
I have a DTS package which deletes some rows in a table and then inserts new ones from a Dbase file.
When I execute the package it works perfectly, but when I shedule it as a job it gives this error message:
Executed as user: LOMMELDOMAdministrator. ...DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_2 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_2 DTSRun OnStart: Copy Data from GRES to [ZNA].[dbo].[GRES] Step DTSRun OnError: Copy Data from GRES to [ZNA].[dbo].[GRES] Step, Error = -2147221164 (80040154) Error string: Class not registered Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Help file: sqldts80.hlp Help context: 700 Error Detail Records: Error: -2147221164 (80040154); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error string: Class not registered Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Help file: sqldts80.hlp Help context: 700 Error: -2147221164 (80040154); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error string: Class not registered Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Help file: sqldts80.hlp Help context: 4700 Error: -2147221164 (... Process Exit Code 5. The step failed.
The deleting of the rows works but the import from the Dbase doens't, I thought it was a security issue. So I made sure the JobAgent has all the rights it needs to access the directory of the Dbase file.
I have an issue when a job is scheduled to run a SSIS package. The package (exporte a table to a text file) runs fine from microsoft visual studio but when i create a job and run it, i get the following error:
[298] SQLServer Error: 15404, Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'VOLCANOAdministrator', error code 0x534. [SQLSTATE 42000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)
