I'm trying to implement a custom log table. To keep the discussion simple, let's say I only have 1 column in this table and all I want to write in it are
"Start" when the package starts
"Error" when it encounters an error
"Finish" when the package finishes. Even if there was an error, I still want to enter "Finish'.
My Control Flow has 3 task objects, 2 Execute SQL Tasks, and 1 Data Flow Task in between them.
The first Execute SQL Task does an insert statement for the Start and the second Execute SQL Task does an insert for the Finish.
To capture any package errors, I also have an Execute SQL Task (to insert "Error") in the Event Handler for OnError. I see that when I cause an error in my package it can raise multiple OnError events, which will envoke my Execute SQL Task multiple times. (This is good because it will allow me to write a line per error event with the error description.)
The problem I have is, how do I write the "Finish" log when I have an error? If I put the insert for the finish in the same Execute SQL Task with the errors, then it will write a "Finish" for every error. But I can't put it anywhere else because if I put it anywhere else, the package never makes it there because it stops at the OnError Event Handler.
Or is there a way for me to tell the package to do the 2nd Execute SQL Task all the time?
Lastly, is there a better way to do this kind of custom logging?
I have a package on which i've applied a package level OnError event handler. The OnError event handler includes a Script Task (that builds up a string of errorCode, errorDescription, MachineName etc...) and a WebService Task that calls a webservice to send an email including the built up string from the script task in the body of the email. This has worked fine in one package where i've applied it but for some reason in a second package the existence of an OnError package level event handler seems to be completed ignored. I'm causing various package object to fail but the OnError handler never fires. I know the obvious answer is find what's different between the two packages but i can't see that any is different (in relation to package level OnError event handling).
Has anyone else come across this? Any suggestions?
I have created an OnError Event Handler to catch an error in the Execute SQL Task in the Control Flow. On error I am simply inserting a few parameters in a DB table using Execute SQL Task. I followed the instructions in: [URL]....
Now when I run this error hanlder task manually it runs fine but when I purposely fail the SQL Task it never fires the error handler. I am not sure why. I checked the DisableEventHandler property and it is set to False.
My project currently has task which have their own individual event handlers that get called onError (setup event messages). I also have a package level event handler that performs a generic task (sending events to the windows eventviewer) In the package level event handler there is a script task that decides on a boolean variable whether to "Success" or "Failure" to different task. When I fail one task of the main control flow, the task level event handler runs, then the package level event handler runs, and then it also runs again for some unknown reason. The second time it runs it picks up the value of a variable set in the variables window. However, I change this value at runtime to the value from a database. I can't understand why it would run the second time, and if it did run why it would have the value from the variables window and not the value that is set in memory. It's like the event handler runs with the value from memory and then runs and picks the values back out of the variables window, replacing the db values and re-runs.
Maybe the package itself is failing all together and then re-runing the package level event handler?
We are generating log file in our SSIS package by enabling the built-in feature of SSIS tool. We are generating log for the "OnError" event. This also recorded the error/failed task messages in the text file "log.txt". That error information is too complex with more unwanted information like below
----------------OnError,,,pkgExtract,,,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,-1071636471,0x,An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
OnError,,,pkgExtract,,,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,-1071607780,0x,There was an error with input column "create_user_id" (116) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (103). The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".
OnError,,,pkgExtract,,,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,-1071607767,0x,The "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (103)" failed because error code 0xC020907D occurred, and the error row disposition on "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (103)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. ---------------------------------
This is infact not in a better readable format. We also don't want to do our error logging in database.
Is there any way of defining our error log and create error error log with customization of our messages . Can we do it using OnError event handler.
Please help us with some good solution to avoid giving this confused error log messages.
One of my plan is to develop a custom task compoent to log the errors into the destination provided as paramter to the component. Now how can I restrict the use of this component in the event handler tab only. can something like this be done?
Also extending this a little further, is the below thing possible?
The custom component should expose custom properties which should allow the user to add the destinations for logging the errors. It will be a predefined list (window event log, text file, sql table etc) and the user will be allowed to check what all he/she wants. Then if the user has selected sql table then ask for the oledb connection and the table name, if text file is selected the ask for the path of the file.
Apology if I am asking too many questions around the same thing (error handling). There may be a better way to acheive what I am trying to acheive but then I have no idea about it. Your guidance will be of great help.
Again, Thanks a lot for helping this extra curious guy who wants to try and develope generalized compoenents if possible.
I am developing a package on my local workstation. I have defined two logging service providers. One is for SQL Server and the other is for the Windows Event Log. I am using the Dts.Log method in a script task to write log entries.
Logging is working properly with the SQL Server provider and rows are being inserted into the sysdtslog90 table. However, the only events that are being logged in the Windows Event Log are the package start and end events which I believe SSIS is doing automatically anyway.
Is there something I need to do to enable WIndows Event Log logging other than defining a log provider and making sure it is checked active? Won't SSIS write to two different logs with one Dts.Log call? Any ideas on what might be going wrong with my approach?
I am having a few problems getting the opomum configuring the OnError event hendler for my new package. What im trying to do is log the Error event and sound out an email (which i am achiving) where i am encountering a problem is trying to determin the severity of the error.
What i would like to achive is to send an email and log the error (as i currently do) but if the error has the power to stop the package from executing i would like to fire an additional script to move the loading files to a failed location.
My initial thoughs were to put an expression the on the procdural constraint in he error handeler but i cant find which System variable to apply the logic to.
I have a package name "Package1" and I have a few data-flow tasks in it. whenever anything fails in the "Package1", I want to send out the failed email to alert myself. So first step, I went to EventHandler tab, and select Executable as "Package1" and Event Handler as "OnError". and then I added SendMailTask. I manually ran SendMailTask, failed email send to me okay. But when I run package from Microsoft visual Studio (IDE), the package failed but it doesn't send out failed email.
Error code: [174]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "xxx" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Maybe I misunderstand OnError eventhandler, or I set up it wrong.
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?
I have a package which have two sequence container, first container is used to transfer data to a staging area and second sequence container is used to transfer to destination from that staging area. And I also apply transaction required to second sequence container. There are several execute sql tasks and several data flow tasks inside two sequence container. first sequence container( 1.execution sql task-> 2.data flow ->3.execution sql task) -> second sequence container(4.execution sql task-> 5.execution sql task-> 6.data flow-> 7.data flow -> 8.execution sql task-> 9.data flow...)
I create ExecutionLog table which is used to log status for this package on our sql server. First this status field is null, then during this package run , it change to 'in process', and after this package finished, it change to 'success' or 'failure' depending this package can run successfully or not. This package can be run only if status is 'success' ,'failure' or null. So I need to change this status field during package execution. For updating package to failure, I need to add event handler to change that status using execute sql task.
First time I perform to execute sql task on onError event handler tab (this event handler is applyed on package level ) . And for testing envent handler I use old schema version to make sure I get failure for '8 execution sql task'. But package seems to get stuck at '8 execution sql task' inside second sequence container( always yellow when I run from ssis) and never fire envent handler. '8 execution sql task' is used to update related table.
Second time I remove onError envent handler and change to use on onTaskFailed event handler tab (this event handler is applyed on package level ) . But everything is the same as using onError event handler except I got error output but still can not fire event. Why '8.execution sql task' can not fire onError or onTaskFailed? For this case what kind of event handler I need to use, what kind of level I need to apply for this event handler.
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 have an SSIS package that contains a For Each Loop Container. I have three Data Flow tasks within the container. I have an OnError event handler associated with the encapsulating container. When one of the Data Flow tasks within the For Each Loop Container fails, the OnError for the Loop Container gets called 5 times. The OnError handler is just a script task that sends a notification email. I am not explicitly Dts.taskresult = failure, nor am I calling FireError.
Hi, I am trying to Log my activities when OnError event handler fires
I have defined few tasks in OnError event handler section so when there is a failer on the main package my OnError task runs ( which it work fine) now I am trying to add Dts.LOG from inside OnError evend handler task, and it seems like SSIS doens't give that function. I can use dts.log outside on the main package but not inside OnError section! any ideas Thanks
HI, I'm implementing a custom error loggin using SSIS event handler, I succesfully catch the error and now I trying to retreave the value of this variables: System::ErrorCode and System::ErrorDescription.
The problem is that only the System::ErrorDescription retreave a value, the variable System::ErrorCode cames empty.
We have a package that runs on 3 servers, all based in different countries and time zones. Each package does logging to a common SQL Server based in New York. (We log to the same server to make monitoring of the package run results easier.) We expect that our overseas servers will occassionally fail to make a database connection and have coded a Try/Catch block in our Script task to ignore errors that occur when attempting the SQL Server logging.
The problem is that the OnError event handler defined at the package level is being called whenever a server fails to make a database connection. The Catch block appears to not be called at all. I've included below the short method that does the SQL Server logging. The "Dts.Log" line logs to a SQL Server and usually works. However, when it fails, the "WriteEventLogEntry" method is supposed to be called to write an error to the server's event log. (I haven't included the "WriteEventLogEntry" code but it works fine when called elsewhere in the package to do our non-error event logging.)
Public Sub WriteSqlServerLogEntry(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal dataCode As Integer, ByVal dataBytes() As Byte, ByVal rowsInserted As Integer)
Try
Dts.Log(logMessage, dataCode, dataBytes)
Catch ex As Exception
WriteEventLogEntry("An exception was thrown while attempting to log the following message to the SQL Server provider: " + logMessage, EventLogEntryType.Error, rowsInserted)
End Try
End Sub
Shouldn't a Catch block prevent the OnError event from being raised? How can I change my package to ignore all errors that occur when attempting SQL Server logging?
I'm trying to log the information spit out by SSIS but only the rowcount part, e.g. "component xyz wrote 1000 rows", im currently using a execute sql task but that will log all information, any simple efficient way i can filter out that rows written line and log that into a sql server table?
I am current using Event Handlers in an SSIS package, but when adding a new EventHandler type eg. OnPreExecute, to an executable within the package, I am unable to see this new EventHandler defined in the hierarchical listing on the left hand combo box (named Executables).
Can't seem to find a Refresh option anywhere. I've only been able to see these newly created EventHandlers in the hierarchical listing by closing and re-opening the package.
Is this a 'feature' or am I missing a Refresh option somewhere.
Previously I've posted about precedence error that didn't work and now it works, thanks to John Welch for his support. But when I tried to use event handler, it won't work. When error occured it didn't redirect to the OnError event handler. And then I built another package but with Data Flow task only, put a simple Script task inside OnError event handler and strange..it worked fine. There is no differences between my first Data Flow task and the last Data Flow task, totally the same process. I've captured both execution result. This is the first failure Data Flow task and the last success Data Flow Task (failure and success herein means that OnError work or not)
And then I did some testing in my last package contains a success Data Flow task. I put a new Data Flow task by copy from the previous one, execute it and OnError won't work again. Then I delete it, execute the previous one and OnError worked fine. I really don't understand why by adding a new Data Flow Task then OnError event handler won't work ?
I am using checkpoints in my SSIS packages which determines the step at which the package failed the last time and restart at that step. But i need some other task also to kickoff only during restart? There is not an OnRestart handler as OnError in SSIS. How can i do this ?
I have a task configured on the post execute event handler of a package expecting this task to be executed only once after the completion of all the other tasks in the package. But I found the task configured on the post execute event of the package getting executed as many times as the number of tasks in the package + 1 . Is there any workaround for this problem?
I am using a simple Data Flow within a Squence Controller and have added a Event Handler for OnPostExecute which contains a simple insert to a table, but this is not working. My package gets successfully execute but data is not getting inserted in the table used in Event Handler. I have also tried OnError, OnPackageFailer etc... but no results. Please guide.
I'm still fairly new to some of SSIS's enhanced funtionalities, one of them being Event handlers. I have tried creating a simple package, that simply contains a SQL Execute task that basically creates a simple table. Now i have then added a OnPostExecute even handler as a test which basically runs a script task that simply shows a msgbox. I have gone to execute the package, however after the completion of the SQL Execute task, nothing happens, the even handler doesnt get fired for some reason, i switch to the even handler page and the script task has not been executed. It is like this for every event handler i have tried, even the OnError event. Could this be a problem with my installation of SSIS or have i done something wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have done SSIS training and to create an event handler was never this hard!
I have an SSIS package that populates a field with "DEFAULT" at the start of execution and i have an Execute SQL task in PostExecute EventHandler that executes a stored proc to update the said field to "SUCCESS". I already created a blank script task to connect to the Execute SQL task and placed in the precedence constraint editor: @[System :: PackageName] == @[System :: SourceName] so that it would execute only when the package completes execution.
My problem is that there are times (probably about 1 out of 50) that the "DEFAULT" value does not get updated. I dont know why this is happening because I expect that this should always be updated since the stored proc is in PostExecute (i suppose successful or even failed execution always does what is in the PostExecute event handler). I don't know why this is happening and it is so hard to replicate.
We want to develop an error handling process that will log the errors into multiple destinations (eventlog, text files or sql database) depending upon a variable set in the package. Also we want that this errror handling process should be initiated by all the tasks in the package on error.
Is this possible? Can the same event handler be called from multiple tasks in the package? Also in the event handler can we call another package which actually does the error handling. This way we have only one place to change our error handling process in case required.
Not receiving any errors. The update runs perfectly on all fields, except for the added parameter during the sub. I need to change the hidden field's value after parsing out several fields in the form and generating a logfile entry of sorts. This needs to happen after all the form fields are updated, but before the update is executed. aspx: (relevant parts only...)<asp:SqlDataSource ID="TicketDetails" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:myConnectionString %>"UpdateCommand="UPDATE Tickets SET TicketSuspense = @TicketSuspense, TicketPriority = @TicketPriority, TicketLastUpdated = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, TicketStatus = 'Assigned', TicketTechnicianNotes = @TicketTechnicianNotes WHERE (TicketID = @TicketID)"><UpdateParameters><asp:Parameter Name="TicketPriority" Type="String" /><asp:Parameter Name="TicketSuspense" Type="DateTime" /><asp:Parameter Name="TicketID" Type="Int32" /></UpdateParameters></asp:SqlDataSource> codebehind: (once again, the relevant parts only)Protected Sub TicketDetails_Updating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs) Handles TicketDetails.UpdatingTicketTechnicianNotesHiddenField.Value = "some text..." & TicketTechnicianNotesHiddenField.ValueTicketDetails.UpdateParameters.Add(New Parameter("TicketTechnicianNotes", TypeCode.String, TicketTechnicianNotesHiddenField.Value))End Sub Thanks, - Brad
Is it possible to create an event handler in a VB.net application to run whenever a Stored Procedure is run.
My application has a scheduled task which is created and scheduled by users of the application, whenever this scheduled task is run I would like it to contact the application to kick off a sequence of tasks. I would appreciate if anybody could point me in the right direction.
Has anyone used Checkpoint files in conjunction with the OnError Event Handler ? I'm having a problem getting the OnError event to fire when the SSIS package reruns with the Checkpoint file.
The first run of the package (without a checkpoint file) works fine. The error occurs, the OnError event handler is called, the package stops and the checkpoint file is created.
When the package is restarted is goes to the correct spot (where the error occured) using the checkpoint file, then it throws an error within the For Loop container and does not call the OnError event handler. The OnError event handler is setup on the For Loop container. The ForLoop performs three loops. Each one of these loops creates an error. Not one of these errors within the three loops will trigger the OnError event handler...
