Hi All,
I'm working on a conversion project and I'm trying to compare performance of SSIS with Other ETL Tools, especially Informatica PowerCenter. Which one do you think is better ETL performer, when source and destination being SQL Server databases. Is there any benchmark available?
Thanks.
Know any good performance monitoring and analysis tools for SQL server.

Hi,
I'm looking for tool that will help me to monitor and analyze SQL server performance including SQL activities and server activities(cpu, memory usage) as well.
I appriciate any feedback,
Thank you,

I'm fairly new to the DBA thing.
I've been doing quite a bit of research on monitoring MSSQL performance.
What tools are you guys using?
PerfMon, Dbartisan, Spotlight, or what?
I'd like to find some free or affordable way to watch our Servers to check health/performance/etc.
I need to change the owner of an SSIS package. For some reason a developer created a package that is listed as <developer name>.Packagename. I'd lke to subsitute "dbo" for <developer name>TIA,barkingdog

I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise under Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise. My current backup strategy uses T-SQL jobs run by SQL Agent (writes out *.bak files) and then I have an Integration Services job that copies the *.bak files to our NAS device. I have performed a restore without issue. The jobs are all automated every four hours via SQL Agent. Is this a sound strategy or are there additional benefits to using 3rd party tools? If so, what are the advantages and which tool provides them?
Login failed for user 'TOSHIBA-USERASPNET'
I know that the file persmission for the web application have to include aspnet, so i keep resetting the folder permission for aspnet in file manager, but the login failed keeps coming back every day or two
problem is after working with VS05 Pro, SQL Server Management Studio CTP, somehow the aspnet persmission get changed, use alot of sqldatasource wizards and often there is a conflict/hang between the datasource wizard and the need to have the mdf in a dettached state within VS server explorer,
not sure but the procedure to fix this seems to be to reboot, detach and re-attach the mdf in the Sql server Studio tool, re-apply the aspnet file permission on the web app folders (wonder should i be doing this in IIS instead), make sure the mdf within server explorer is detached, the it works
anyway, getting real tired of the resulting delays and design time derailment, clues greatly appreciated, thanks
sometimes i can use View in Browser when in VS05 form view and i wont get the aspnet folder permission error and other times i do.
last thing, is it a bad idea to give aspnet full permission for the entire web applicaiton??
Is there - apart from the notorious RESTORE HEADERONLY - an tool which is able to tell which SQL Server version created a specific BAK file? I'm looking for a tool that can be used w/o an available/running SQL Server installation.
Alternatively, is there any documentation about what is read with RESTORE HEADERONLY so I could write a tool myself?
Where would I find the version "bytes" in a BAK file?
Hi All,
Our client is a multinational Cigar company and we have been building SSIS packages for them for extraction of data into data marts.
We tried to do all the tasks using T-SQL procedures also and tried comparing the performance of procedures and SSIS packages.
We found out that procedures are better than SSIS packages in performance(Time taken). Why is this so?
We expected the SSIS packages to be much quicker but it was not the case...
Thanks,

I have been working on a project last few months. I have developed the project on my laptop, which is resonably powerful. It runs through fine within 9 mins with sample data set.
If I replicate the same environment on a 64 Bit machine with 32 Bit Win 2003 and SP1, it takes just over 7 mins.
If I rerun it on a 64 Bit machine with 64 Bit Win 2003, it takes between 21 and 24 mins.
We are executing the packages via dtexec on a command prompt.
Has anyone seen same behaviour?
Thanks

I am currently in the process of migrating DTS packages to SSIS. I am finding that most of the packages are running faster, but some of them are taking longer to execute.
The DTS package copies data from our Production server to Development. It uses a Copy SQL Server Objects Task to copy only the data from about 50 tables. This takes about 3.5 minutes. I created the exact same package in SSIS using the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task and it is running about 5 minutes.
Another package I am having this problem with is only copying data from 1 table using a Copy SQL Server Objects Task. This package executes in 19 minutes. I have created the exact same package twice. Once using Transfer SQL Server Objects and once with a data flow task. The Transfer SQL Server Objects package takes about 50 minutes while the Data Flow package takes about 40 minutes.
As I said most of the packages are faster with SSIS so this is why I am confused on these couple where they are just copying the data.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
Hi:
I've written new SSIS packages to do what DTS packages did and the
performance I'd say is about 20 times slower. In this package, I have
a loop that loops through different servers based on server entries in
a SQL database. Each loop pumps 10 tables. The source query is set by
a variable and the destination table is set also by a variable, since
all this data goes to the same tables on the SQL server and the
definitions are all the same on the source server (Sybase). It's still going and has taken about 12 hours to pull roughly 5 million records.
The source query ends up being:
SELECT *, 'ServerName' FROM SourceTable1 WHERE Date >= Date
The 'ServerName' , the "sourcetable1" and the "Date" are all set by
variables which in turn build the source query variable.
Anyway, I just mention this for completeness--I would think setting
the variables which have anything to do with the pump's performance. How can I check
to see where the performance is getting held up?
Also, I have checked via ping the timeout to the 3 servers. The slowest one pings in about 62 ms, the fastest at 1 ms, and the other somewhere in between.
Hi,
I have 4 execute packages say A, B, C, D. These packges contains packages for data transfer in turn.
Package A - 15 packages
Package B - 15 packages
Package C - 20 packages
Package D - 20 packages
When i run these packages one at a time in the order A, B, C, D then the execution time is around 17 mins.
If I make a parent package and put A, B, C, D in sequence in it, executing this parent package increases the execution time to arnd 50 mins.
Pacakge A, B, C, D doesnot run in parallel. They run one at a time. So i was wondering why the there is so much time difference.
Please let me know if theres some configuration settings to make the parent package efficient.
All the test conditions are same in both the cases. The source and the target are SQL server which are on the same machine as the SSIS.
Thanks,
Vipul
I have a bunch of packages that take views and create tables from them. Some of the views are rather complex, but the packages themselves are very simple... drop and re-create a table using the data from a view on the same server. We create a new DB for each year, and this year we've upgraded to a new server with SQL 2005, so our DTS packages on the 2000 SQL server had to be recreated in SSIS on the new server. No problem, as I said the packages are really simple. But when I create the packages in SSIS they now take an extremely long time to execute, and I cannot figure out why.
For instance, one DTS package would take approximately 5 minutes to run when the view contained hundreds of thousands of rows and the underlying tables contained millions. But now, even with MUCH smaller tables (since it's the beginning of the year, new DB) the SSIS package I created on the new server takes over an hour, literally. The view that the SSIS package is using to create the table only takes about 15 seconds to execute in management studio (only about 16,000 rows). How can this possibly take so long??
the new server is virtually the same hardware-wise... 4 x 2400mhz, 4gb ram, win2k3 server
Hi,
our package have design like this,
OLEDBSource à Derived Column à Lookup
|
Matching Records Un Matched Records
| |
OLEDBCommand OLEDBDestination
(Update) (Insert)
and our source & destination table are oracle. when we execute the package the performance is very low and some times its showing like processing ( yellow color) even for 1 hrs .what could be the problem.can any one help us.is there any reason like when we use orcale database this will slow down the performance of package

Hello again,
I'll just throw my question: how could I increase SSIS-performance?
I have a really heavy job with thousands of records my base selection, then I perform some lookups (I replaced most of them by sql) and derived columns (again, I replaced as much as possible by sql). Finally, after a slowly changing dimension task, I do update/insert on a given table. Is there a trick to speed up lookups and inserts (something like manipulating the buffer sizes - just asking).
Fact is that I replaced a script task by pure sql-joins and gained 6 of the 12 hours this job took.
Any ideas?
Greets,
Tom
Dear Friends,
I always use this forum to find support and to try help others.
But this time I need to receive your feedback about my package that will be in prodution in few weeks.
So.. could you give me your opinions? I prefer i write the comments in the blog, but you can write here to...

Kind regards and thanks!!
Good work!!
. Have you faced any performance issues with SSIS?
I created a dataflow that transferred about 1 million records from a SQL database on one server to a differend SQL database on the same server. The processing took about 30 minutes. I used the Fast Load option.
I then created a "Execute SQL Task" and wrote a "SELECT * INTO TABLE" and this processing took about 30 - 60 seconds.
Can someone tell me why creating a Data Flow Tak would take so much longer or give differences between the two options above? Can someone give some pointers on how to make a Data Flow task more efficient?
Thanks.
Hello Everyone,
Can any one update me up performance turning of SSIS and what difference would it make if I change the default value of this two parameter in each Data Flow.
DefaultBuffermaxRows
DefaultBufferSize
Also update me on what is these parameters used for.
Thank you
I have a multi-threaded C# application that loads a bunch of tables into ado.net datasets in memory for surrogate key lookups. Depending on what else is going on, it can process 100,000 to 170,000 rows per minute and usually utilizes 20-30% of each cpu.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
I created procedure which completes execution in 20 mins in sql server 2005 but if i kept the same procedure in Execute SQL Task in SSIS and executing means, it is taking 3 hrs.
Is there any way to increase the performance for the above same.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

On 32 bit SSIS installations, both of the following performance counter objects are visible in perfmon.
SQLServer:SSIS Service
SQLServer:SSIS Pipeline
On 64 bit SSIS installations, only the following is available.
SQLServer:SSIS Service
The SQlServer:SSIS Pipeline counters are nowhere to be found.
Should I re-install? Is this a known issue with 64 bit SSIS?
P.S. Remote or local access administrative access with perfmon makes no difference, the "SQLServer:SSIS Pipeline" performance counters don't appear in the listbox when connecting to Windows 2003 x64 server.
Hello,
I have been running massive ssis packages and testing the performance.
This is my execution design:
I have a main package that gets a list of packages to execute from a table.
Then using a foreach loop in send the package to execute ( somewhere in the middle i delete the corresponding old log file for that package ), each of the packages configures themselves from the parent package variables.
What i have been analysing tells me that for example a package runs in 2 minutes and then the time wasted from the end of the package to the start of the other task is in average 3 to 6 minutes... thats alot... since i run about 20x12 packages witch gives me of wasted time about 20 hours.
My question is... what can be causing the delay between the end of package and the start of the other one...
The tasks types i am using in the execution controller package are:
Foreach loops, For Loop, File System task, Execute Package Task and some Execute SQL Tasks
Best Regards,
Luis Simões
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to check the performance of a SSIS package?
Thanks
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
We have SSIS installed and everything is working great. We are now to the point of wanting to tune one of our longer running packages and the Performance counters are not working. At all. They show up ok but the counter is always at 0. Is there anything special I have to do to get this to work.
One comment I fould was that the Performance Logs and Alerts service needs to be running to see these counters. I tried to start it and it immediately quit. I set it to automatic startup up and run a package. The counter still read 0.
Is there anything else out there I can try to get these counters to return somthing. Thanks.
Aaron
Dear All,
how can we know that wether we had server tools or client tools on my machine?
