Hi,
I have a child package running under main parent pakage.
I am passing value of integer & string type variables from parent package to child package's variables ( as disscussed in following artical http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345179(SQL.100).aspx) ,values assigned in child package variables are futher used to build connection string for flat file connection manager in child package.
I have been using this whole SSIS package sucessfully for last three months,but suddenly the following error arises
on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property."
When I see the result of above mentioned expression through Log file than it appears that my string variable
Code Snippet"@[User::StrTextFileImpDirectory]
in child package has not been populated with any value from parent package variable, I.e it has been populated with empty string(While this is not desired value).
Same problem arises with my integer type variable
Code Snippet@[User::Staging_Date_Key]
,it has ben populated with value zero (i.e default value at design time for integer type),while this is not desired value.
Can some one guide me how to figure out the cause for error....
Is it possible that such kind of error may arise due to any change in enviornment of server....
Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.
However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.
When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.
How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?
How can I specify the target object when trying to set a parent variable package configuration programatically?
I am trying to set the Target Object to be "ParentLogID" and the Target Property to be it's "Value". I think this is how I'd add the configuration and set the source.
I've found this problem that when I change settings in my configuration file it does not automatically apply to all child packages which uses the same configuration file if run from a job in SQL Server Agent. I need to open the package and save it again from BIDS. I use one "load group" package to execute all other packages.
Is there a way from the job configuration to set a setting so the package allways will have the newest configuration?
I am running a parent SSIS package (running sp2, 9.0.3042) that calls several child packages.
On our development server, we now cannot run this because we get 1 or more of these errors:
"Error 0x80004003 while preparing to load the package. Invalid pointer . " "Error 0xC0011008 while preparing to load the package. Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored. . "
It is not occuring on the same packages. It varies every time it is run.
I can run every one of the child packages individually, using the same login ID that the parent is executed under.
The parent package works fine on my local machine and other servers running the same version of SSIS. Just not on this server.
I am very new to SQL Server 2005, and I am currently trying to migrate a 2000 db to 2005.
I have now migrated all the DTS to SSIS, removing any legacy & replacing with new functionality.
I have been through a group of related packages ironing out any problems. They ALL now run fine when called individually.
However, I am now having problems with the parent package that is used to string these all together. It will not even run the 1st package.
For info, the first task of this package is a "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task". I am copying a few tables with data, but WITHOUT indexes, etc.
Following this, there is an "Execute SQL Task" that creates an index on one of those copied tables.
To get past another issue I had to set the "CopySchema" property of the "Transfer..." task to true, but did not select any schemas to transfer.
Now, when running the PARENT package, it is failing at the 1st step of the 1st package as follows:
Error: 0xC002F325 at Copy LT Data Tables, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: Execution failed with the following error: "ERROR : errorCode=-1071636471 description=SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The statement has been terminated.".

I have been searching and searching, finding similar problems, and even the same error codes, but nothing quite matching this particular scenario.
I have been trying to set the "DelayValidation" at various levels, but with no luck.
I would greatly appreciate any help in trying to resolve this. Has anyone else had the same, or similar, issue?

I have a package that executes succesfully before package is configured.
but when package is configured to use configuration details either from SQL Server configuration table or XML configuration file, gives an error :
[Connection manager "XYZ"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
Can anyone help me out with this ?
Experts !!! this is my second post, my previous post is still unanswered.

Not sure if you guys have run across this error. I created a simple SSIS package to import from a csv file into SQL Server, and I made it configurable so I can point to any of my 4 destination SQL Servers.
In the error list pane, i'm getting this warning:
Warning loading Package.dtsx: Table "[dbo].[SSIS Configurations]" does not have any records for configuration. This occurs when configuring from a SQL Server table that has no records for the configuration.
The funny thing is, the table is populated with 2 properties, Catalog & ServerName, but at run time, its like the Package ignores the SQL table to apply configuration properties.
I have sql server 2005 installed in my pc. I have to make a DTS package. I did it and it works fine. I have to create a configuration package.
I made it but when i try to debug it, the package show an error in the connection to the database. Checking the xml file all is correct. I tried to change all parameters but it's the same.
Hi. I've created a number of packages in SSIS which just make temp tables out of views. I did them with the "Optimize for many tables" and "Run in transaction" boxes checked.
Now I'm trying to port them over to another database on another server. I'm first going through the Package Configuration Wizard. When I try to finish the wizard I get a error with the following message:

I don't know how to resolve it. Anyone?
One way to deal with this particular issue would be just to recreate the SSIS package on the other server. The issue with this is I want to be positive which view I'm making a copy of and I'm not currently. Since the Import/Export has the transaction setting checked, I can't seem to determine what the source was. Help?

I am using Data flow object in that I take OleDb as Source and Sql Server As destination. Without enabling Package configuration everything is working fine data is moving from Source to destination.
But When i apply Package Confiiguration It throw Error And My OleDb Source object Convert in to RED Color. I cant able to track This errror
I though i'd been going about setting up my SSIS package to run via a SQL job in the correct way. It would appear however that is not the case.
I have 4 SSIS packages, one of which is the parent package which calls the other three in sequence. I want to run this from a SQL job so that it calls the parent package and it deals with the others. There are connection managers in the package which use a SQL account to access the relevant databases. In addition i have encrypted the package.
I have set up a configuration file which holds the password package and the BillingSystem connection manager password. This file is re used by each package.
After deployment i have set up the SQL agent job to run the parent package. The job returns an error. Looking at the SSIS logging it appears that it completes the SQL task in the parent package and then fails when trying to launch each of the sub packages with an error stating that the SQL account used in the connection manager login failed. It looks as though the sub packages are not getting the password value from the configuration file and this is causing the failure. I though that each package would automatically pick up the config file as it has been setup to do. I have specified the configuration file in the SQL job but this appears to make no difference. Running the integrations seperately i have to add the configuration file in manually to the Run Package dialog box before they will work. This is not saved for the next run.
Can anyone help me get around this problem as i think i have the wrong idea as to how it is supposed to work.
Hi --I was wondering if this is a bug when I add new data in my table SSIS Confiurations and give wizard a new Configuration filter the package configuration wizard can not see the new values --the old values from the previous configuration are still showing---is there any known workaround or forced refresh I can do
thanks in advance Dave
Background:
SQL Package Configurations are most important because they provide the possibility of a central configuration store for your entire enterprise!!!!!!!! and is in my mind the only way to go

I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.
I'd like to know if there's a way to pass parent package parameters to a package executed by SQL Server Job Agent? It appears that sp_start_job doesn't have any variable that could accomodate this.
We have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example: Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
I am interested in Passing value from a child Package variable to the Parent package that calls it in ssis.
I am able to call the Child package using the execute package task and use Configurations to pass values from the parent variable to the child, but I am not able to pass the value from the child to the parent.
I have a variable called datasetId in both the parent and child. it gets computed in the child and needs to be passed to the parent...
Hi everybody, I moved my packages to the new machine, and have problem with parent variables. When child package tries to get parent variable value I get an error:
Information: 0x40016042 at LoopPackage: The package is attempting to configure from the parent variable "MAIN_SesId".
Warning: 0x80012028 at LoopPackage: Process configuration failed to set the destination at the package path of "Package.Variables[User::MAIN_SesId].Properties[Value]". This occurs when attempting to set the destination property or variable fails. Check the destination property or variable.
I have a SSIS Package with a "Execute Package Task" to call a child package. I am trying to have the master/parent package complete its execution regardless the outcome (failure or success) of the child package. The overall structure of the master package is:
1. Perform Pre-load tasks (stored procedure).
2. Execute Package Task (call child package)
3. Perform Post-load Tasks (stored procedure)
I have try everything and cannot get the results that I want... I have tried the combination of "failparentonfailure", "forceexecutionvalue", etc. The master package stops at childs failure. I would like to resume to completion
I have two SSIS packages in a project, one calling the other. The parent package works fine in my local mechine. After they are deployed to the production, I schedeul jobs to run the packages in the SqlServer. The child package works fine if I run it alone, but the parent package could not find its child package if I run the parent package . As I checked, all xml config files and the connection string pointing to the child package were set correctly. It seems the parent package did not use the xml config file. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.
I am trying to figure out how to run an SSIS package that is encrypted but also has a child package which is encrypted. I am trying to run from the cmd line using dtexec and specifying DECRYPT <pwd> for the parent package but how do you specify for the child package.
Please help if you have seen such an issue before or you have a work around.
I have a parent package which calls a number of child packages. Occasionally, I have one child package which starts up and appears to finish but the parent package never gets notification that the child has finished. If I view this in Management Studio's in Integration Services, I can view the packages that are running and only the parent package is running. Because it never gets control back, the next child package will never get started and the parent package will continue to run and never finish.
Hello All, I have a Master Package which calls a group of other packages out on the SSIS Package Store using parent / child and a number of variables. These seem to work when passing various audit information (audit key, record counts, etc) but when I try to pass a variable for the connection string and assign it via an expression to the connection manager, I get the Master Package writing to the correct database and the children package writing to their "default" database which is supplied as the default value in the variables which should be populated by the parent task.
i.e., I end up with my master package audit information in database a and child package audit and transactions in database b, even though the packages associated with these transactions are supposed to be reading the connection string from a parent variable. Any clues or suggestions?
Edit: It is still passing along the correct parent audit information and record counts, it's just not connecting to the correct database by the variables holding the connect string
I run into some issues and really need some expert help here.
Here is the problem. I have two packages (parent.dtsx and child.dtsx). Both package have its own configuration file (parent.dtsConfig and child.dtsConfig). The file Child.dtsConfig contains a variable (i.e. "X") that is to be used by Child.dtsx.
Inside parent.dtsx. there is a package-task that calls into Child.dtsx. It worked perfectly well if I run parent.dtsx using Dtexec or from inside SSIS's IDE.
Now I want to programmably call "parent.dtsx" from my C# code. I loaded package using "app.LoadPackage"... Inside C# code, I want to reconfigure Child-package's variable ("X"). I then loaded in "Child.dtsx". However when I run "parent.dtsx" and child.dtsx still loads the original value for "X". The reconfigured value for "X" is not updated.
I am planning to develop a single package that will download files from ftp server, move the files to internal file server and upload it in the database. But I want to run this package for multiple ftp file providers. For each provider the ftp server might be different and the transformation to upload the files into a database table might be different.
So can I create a single package and then multiple configuration files (xml), which will contain the details fo the ftp file providers and then pass the xml file as a parameter while executing the package. The reason being that the timings of fetching the files is different for each ftp file provider and hence cannot be combined into one.
Deployed Report having SSIS package as source do not work when Indirect Package configuration is used in ETL package. It seems ETL package when called/executed from Report manager does not recognize environment variable to pick up the dtsconfig file.
The Report works when Direct package configuration is used to same dtsconfig file.
What could be the reason? Any solution for this? This will cause our build/deployment to QA and Prod very difficult.
I have noticed an issue with parent package variables. I have a package with multiple parent package variables defined, call them X, Y, and Z. I also have a parent package that calls this other package. The parent package has variable definitions for X and Z. It seems that the value for X will be passed along, and Y will give a warning since there is no variable of that name in the parent. The issue is that Z will not be passed along. It seems like the parent package configuration process stops after it encounters one missing variable.
sorry if the message seems a bit garbled i cannot see the textbox properly with ie7/ff
anyways. the situation.
childpackage contains a loop-container. in there i use an ole-db-source with a variable based on an expression. ie. "select * from foo where bar=" + len(@[bar]) == 0 ? "initial" : @[bar] + " and etc=1" where bar is the variable that is set by the loop.
this works great.
however i need to call this package several times, only the expression is a tad different.
so i need a scripttask that sets the expression correctly, then i call the childpackage and map the current-expression to the expression in childpackage.
how do i do that? or am i doing it wrong?
my script-task looks something like:
dts.Variable("theVar").Expression = " ""select * from foo where bar="" + len(@[bar]) == 0 ? ""initial"" : @[bar] + "" and etc=1"" "
in the childpackage i have a package-conf that maps thevar to thequery with target-object expression.
May be I am doing something wrong over here, but I have been trying in vain to test out a simple scenario where I can use my Parent Package configurations in my Child package. I have two packages ready and can someone please walk me through this process. Appreciate all help
I have an ASP.NET application that calls a SSIS package. The SSIS package internally calls some other child packages. I observed that sometimes some child pacakges are not even called by the parent. and the behaviour is very indeterminate. sometimes they work fine. sometimes they don't. There is no clue available for this behaviour when the pacakges are not executed. (One general observation is that the memory consumption is very high. but that is the case always.)
I have enabled logging on all child packages. The log is not updated at all when the child packages failed to execute. i.e. the package execution does not start.
Could somebody explain why this is happening? any suggestions/ similar experiences?
