We have a package that has a connection called Load_DimItem.trc. We don't need this logging enabled for this package anymore. However, if I delete the connection, and delete the log provider (SSIS log provider for SQL profiler), I get errors when trying to close the package after debugging. I get: "Cannot detach from one or more processes. [3172] The object invoked has disconnected from its clients."
How can I get rid of this error?
I am having the same problems as those in another post. SSIS package works fine when executed in BIDS and through execute package utility but it doesnt work when executed as a step in a job.
The other problem is that the logging also doesnt work when i try executing it as a job. So I have no clue about what to do without knowing what error it is. When I run the job it simply says the step has failed.
I have tried most of the solutions posted in other websites most of them to do with using proxies with credentials but havent hit a solution. I would love to get any input on what to do.
Thanks
All,
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.
/FILE "\MyServerprojectsSSISPackagesIRRLoadingPackage.dtsx" /DECRYPT mypwd /CONNECTION "ATLSQLDEV01.SSAM.User1";"Data Source=ATLSQLDEV01;User ID=user1;Initial Catalog=SSAM;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Persist Security Info=True;Auto Translate=False;" /CONNECTION CashFlowConnection;"\MyServerpublicReportingLoadingInProgress8634_Cashflow.txt" /CONNECTION "SMTP Connection Manager" ;"SmtpServer=ATLEXCH01;UseWindowsAuthentication=True;EnableSsl=False;" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /LOGGER "{59B2C6A5-663F-4C20-8863-C83F9B72E2EB}";"LogFile.txt" /LOGGER "{6AA833A1-E4B2-4431-831B-DE695049DC61}";"ATLSQLDEV01.SSAM.User1"
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello.
I am using the "SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server" to log events to a table for "OnError" and "OnPostExecute" events of a package. This works as expected and provides a nice clean output on the execution steps of the package.
I am curious as to why I do not see any detail for any/all tasks that fall under the "Data Flow" section of the package though. For instance, on my "Control Flow" tab, I added a "Data Flow" task that simply loads a few tables from a target to destination server. However, there is nothing shown in the logging output. Just that a Data Flow task was initiated. And when I'm configuring this logging under "SSIS-->Logging" in the checkbox area on the left, you cannot "drill into" data flow steps.
Is there a reason why there is no detailed logging for Data Flow tasks? Would getting to that require me to create a custom log provider?
Thanks for the help.

Is there any way using T-SQL to find current running package name while SSIS logging is not enabled?

Hi,
I decided to use the SQL Server log provider to store logging data of all my Integration Services packages. I also created some reports about this data for operating purposes.
I have a problem occurs the name of the executing package is not always written to the log,but the name of the single task which failed. But that is not very useful information for operating, because I do not see any chance to get the name of the package by the information which is logged in the sysdtslog90 table in the database which I defined for SSIS Logging.
How do I configure the package to always log the package information into the table, too?
Best regards,
Stefoon
I recently read the project real ETL design best practices whitepaper. I too, want to do custom logging as I do today, and also use SSIS logging. The paper recommended using the variable system::PackageExecutionId to tie the 2 logging methods together.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHey, 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.
Thank you

Hi All,
When the embedded DTS package fails at runtime, and logging has been enabled for the package (and all log events selected for reporting on for the package and the task), the DTS error (i.e. any meaningful errors) are not thrown up to/caught by the SSIS/outer level. All you get is something like:
COMException - error returned from a call to a COM component.
Does anyone have any comments &/or know to get errors thrown from within an embedded DTS package, thrown up to the wrapping SSIS package?
Cheers,
Tamim.
After fine-tuning my package logging, I built a query against SYSDTSLOG9 that uses the combination of the OnPreExecute events and any subsequent event for each task to build a nice view of a package in progress, including the duration of each event. (Running tasks would have a row with a NULL EndTime.)
When running the package within the Designer, everything works as expected. Events are logged at the task level and everything bubbles-up to the package level.
However, when I run the package from SQL Agent (using the SSIS job step), none of my OnPreExecute or sub-component events are written. That is, I only get package-level OnInformation, OnPostExecute and OnError events.
This means when the job/package is executing, I can't directly see which steps are currently in progress nor can I get a duration for each step once it's completed. This will be very disconcerting for my teammates who will have to help support this at some point.
Any idea how or why there would be a change in behavior between these two execution methods?
Thanks in advance for any help. Until then, banging my head against the wall...

I enabled logging by right clicking on the control flow and specifying a log provider.
after a while, i deleted the log provider from the tree view and the connection manager it was using from the connection manager collection.
now i cannot open the package.
here are the errors i can collect from the failure;
Error 1 Error loading ImportMedsSubmissionFiles.dtsx: Element "{A4F838A2-2660-4422-A0D2-669BAFBC6CAE}" does not exist in collection "LogProviders". Visual Studio 2005ProjectsMeds2ImportMeds2ImportImportMedsSubmissionFiles.dtsx 1 1

This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails. . Visual Studio 2005ProjectsMeds2ImportMeds2ImportImportMedsSubmissionFiles.dtsx 1 1
is there some file to edit or a way recreate or revive the package, even if it means just duping the package into believeing what it wants is there?
as a baseline altertnative, is there any way to retrieve the work?
it consists of a boatload of derived column transformations of way too many columns that i would really rather not rewrite, so if its lying about on my drive somewhere in an xml file that can be used to recreate what i had, it would be just ducky.
thanks

Hi:
Just implemented logging on my package, and the type of logging is to a text file. Any ideas on where should i store my log folder/file, so when I do my build and deploy, I end up moving the folder as well. Do I have to manually do that? How would that work? What if I save the log file outside of my project folder? Where is the log folder/file path specified? Thanks.
I am executing the SSIS package and generating the execution log information in SQL server and text file.
i.e. using the SSIS---->logging and there SSIS log provider for SQL server and SSIS log provider for text file.
Now I want to push the execution information of all the events in SQL server whereas in text file I want to log only the OnError events.
Now I am unable to to select the different set of the events for two log provider (SQL server and text file)
Please suggest how to do this.
Logging in SSIS as compared to DTS is more complex to set up with so many events. What events should I choose if I need something similar to DTS package logging i.e. I simply want to see which tasks executed at what time and whether they failed or succeded and if they failed, what was the error?

I have migrated DTS package into SSIS. One of the ActiveX Script contains the following code. I have a question regarding changing this code.
What is the equilaent object of reading LogFileName in SSIS? I setup the Logging in SSIS, but didn't fidn any option using which i can refer to logfile as it is done in the following DTS code.
It'll be a great help if somebody can assist me in this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
My job is to create an audit report. I have two tables A and B which is linked through a common field Id.
if Id column of A table doesnot find value for Field1 in B for the corresponding Id then an error should be reported as follows:
"Missing record in B"
if Id column of A finds value for Field1 but Field2 doesnot have value then warning should be generated.
These Errors and warnings should be logged in Audit Report file.
Can any one guide me how to do it?
Anyone know if there is a way to make the package only log errors? I only have errors checked, but it still logs the package onstart and onend events. Is there a way to turn this off?
Thanks
What all would need to be done in order to capture a time that an SSIS package ran and completed? I have had a thread about this before here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1310953&SiteID=1
But, I have been busy and have been off and on with this issue. I really need to find some simple way to show in a report using SSRS the "as-of" date when the data was pulled in. Is using the Execute SQL task going to be that method?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Second time around w/this one. I'm running my sqlserveragent with a domain admin account and everything works well. I then switch to a domain user and the package fails. Windows app log contains ths
Package "Package1" failed.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
So I go to the sql server agent jobs and select the job I'm trying to run. I then go to Job Step Properties and under the logging tab choose SSIS log provider for Text files. What is supposed to go in the Configuration String?
It will let me type a text file in there or choose from one of my "3" datasources in my package. But since I'm developing this on another machine the choice to log to the file system makes no sense.
Please do not refer me to the kb article (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918760) I've read and re-read that. All that I want to do is find out why the package is failing.
Thanks.
We run std 2008 r2. When I deploy and run a pkg from the catalog, how can I get that flat file system log we always instructed ssis to write to when we ran from the command line? I believe it was the /L param . Not sure at this point if i'll use sql agent or somehow employ task scheduler to kick off the pkg.

What SSIS logging option should I check to log the success of each component? In log file, I'd like to see what component is currently SSIS executing and what component(s) passed the execution.

Hello Everyone,
I have written a custom task which writes the details of an error in the windows event log.
I use the on error event to invoke this task.
To simulate the error I try to convert a string into a number. I see that there are multiple as many as 6 messges with different error codes being logged into the windows event log.
They vary from something tangible like number conversion failed to obsure things like thread was being aborted.
Is this normal? to see multiple messages for one type of error.
Can I control this, so that only one message is sent into the windows event log.
(reason is that we have a monitoring software which may raise multiple admin alerts for the same issue).
Thanks for your help in advance.
regards,
Abhishek.
I'm trying to use the information logged by SSIS packages into the database (the sysdtslog90 table) to track errors. Unfortunately, when the errors are written to the log they are associated with a source and sourceid and not the package and package ID. Sometimes the source is the package, but often it is a process within the package. All I need is some way to associate each error with a package--a package name/ID on each row in the log. This seems like it ought to be a pretty basic need, but I can't figure it out.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

When running SSIS packages, the package execution information is logged in the SYSDTSLOG90 table which contains the following columns.
id
event
computer
operator
source
sourceid
executionid
starttime
endtime
datacode
databytes
message
After executing a package, I found that the values in the "executionid" column are the only ones that are unique. Can we use this to determine what package was run? We are trying to architect a solution that would allow us to determine as to how long a package ran, if it ran into warnings / errors etc., We can easily accomplish this by having our own table and using Global variables within packages, we could insert / update this table. Appreciate any help.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me the best way in SSIS to log performance at control flow level i.e. per task I have in my control flow and what performance characteristics it is possible to log.
Thanks in advance
I am having a problem where duplicate log statements are being written to a log file (as defined by a log provider).
I believe that this is because in the logging dialog box, I have ticked the checkbox next to a child task to override the logging functionality.
I need to do this because it is a script task and I want to capture "ScriptTaskLogEntry" events (something that I cannot do at the parent level).
However by doing this I seem to get the script events written at the parent, as well as at the Script Task level.
Is there any way of avoiding this, but still capturing the log events from the script task?
Another issue that is possibly linked is that I am getting an error from the log provider:
The SSIS logging provider "SSIS log provider for Text files" failed with error code 0x800700EA ((null)). This indicates a logging error attributable to the specified log provider.
Could this be because of the parent and child task are both attempting to write to the same log provider?
Thanks in advance
Hi. I've tried several things to log some information inside of the ScriptTask. I've tried Console.WriteLine(), Debug.WriteLine(), and Dts.Log().
All compile and work, but my problem is I can't find the output to save my life.
I have logging turned on in my SSIS package, but the data doesn't show up in that file. I've check SQL Server's log. Event Log in OS. All no luck.
Please help.
I am currently using the SSIS Logging feature in my SSIS package. Currently, I have defined a destination log file, and each time the package is executed the log file gets appended with that days log.
Im trying to figure out how best to keep the log file name static (it gets emailed out, and my email client looks for a particular log file name) yet include only todays log information and append the rest of the log information to a history log file or something like that.
Has anyone tried doing something similar, or have any ideas on how best this can be accomplished?
Thanks
I am currently working to write a progress log for my SSIS packages. So far I am able write a new log entry, update this log entry using OnProgress and OnError Event Handlers. I'd like to take it one step further. Whenever the package ends whether cancelled or finished normally; I'd like to write to my logging table COMPLETED_ABNORMALLY on cancelled or COMPLETED_NORMALLY on a normal finish of the package. I'm not sure where to begin with this process. I'd like to utilize a simple method and event handler.
View 0 Replies View RelatedJust like in DTS where we can add error file so that if the DTS package fails we can see what caused the DTS to fail, likewise do we have anything like error logging file in SSIS. I greatly appreciate your help on this. thanks!!
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter logging is configured in SSIS package, it seems that after each execution the output is appended to the log file (we are talking about log provider for text files in this case). As a result the file just keeps on growing. I would like to overwrite old information with each run, but I can't find where to configure this. Anybody knows?
Thank you!
Hi,
I have enabled logging in my package and am using sql table to capture. i have defined a connection for it and i have defined it in the logging option. Once the logging is enabled, using package configurations, i am storing the value for the property "logging mode= 1", which means enabled in the table. But when i close and reopen the package, the package is failing to enable the logging. Even though i have stored the logging mode value in the configurations table, it is not getting enabled. Please help me solve this.
Workaround i have tried is declaring a variable explicitly to store the logging mode value and use it in the expressions of the pkg to define the logging mode. This variable is saved in the configuration table. This way works. but i want to know why it is not working with loggingmode value reading directly from configuration entries.
