I have several SQL Server jobs that execute procedures written to run
deletes and updates against tables in my data warehouse. Some jobs
occasionally get stuck with the status "Performing Completion Actions"
and can only be reset by restarting SQL Server or rebooting the
server.
I have seen one answer to this problem in a DTS package is to check
the box specifying "Close Connection on Completion" for each task. Is
this the equivalent of setting "cursor_close_on_commit" to "on" in
T-SQL?? If not, what is the equivalent in T-SQL??
In a previous application i stored about 100.000 actions ( coming from an external system )in an access database for each day. Therefore i created everyday a new accessdatabase to have enough performance. Each month i copied automatically all databases in a new 'month' map as a backup.
The goal of the application is the view all actions of one day of week in one grid. This is a kind of history of the external system.
I'm afraid the application will become to slow if i save all actions in one database. ( after 1 month i will have 3.000.000 actions.
How this is done in an sql server ? Do i have to use a different kind of method ?
Hi! My problem/"goal to achieve" is the following.. Users can insert orders in a db-table. The date on which they've been created is stored. I want the server to insert a new record in another table (accounts) for every order which is older than 2 weeks. How should I do that? With a custom action which checks all orders (a customer must press some button every day). Or a static "update-class" with a kind of timer which does the action every 24 hours? Of course an automatic solution will be the best! Another question is: how can i ensure that an instance of this "update-class" will never die? Thanks so far...
I've recently had a situation where some of the steps in the daily backup job failed. The job is defined such that if a step fails, it goes on to the next step (these are dev. backups :)
Is there a way that I can tell it to notfy me of the step failure AND go on to the next step? The notification is reporting that the job was successful when in fact a couple of the steps failed. Is there any way around this?
I am having a question on cube actions. What is the easiest way for us to see all actions properties(including objects to trigger the actions, etc.), hope it is clear for your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
I have to get all the customer records from one table and compare this records with another table and finally if there is same record I have to perform an update but the record does not exist I have to make an insert. How can I do it with SSIS Except writing sql or tsql scripts ?
what are the best ways to action on the Deadlock issues. I am aware how a deadlock is occurred and we can get the queries causing by the Trace, and Profiler. What will en best steps to Investigate from DBA end later collecting the stats.What steps will ensure to get these deadlocks addressed.
Hello everyone, I wanted to change a relationship in a database in order for it to have a cascading effect on update and on delete in order to preserve the data integrity. The problem is that when I click the save button I get the following error message: 'Role (Application)' table saved successfully'Usergroup_Role (Security)' table- Unable to create relationship 'FK_Usergroup_Role_RoleId_Application_Role_Id'. Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_Usergroup_Role_RoleId_Application_Role_Id' on table 'Usergroup_Role' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Any suggestion on how can I fix this? For a better understanding of the real problem I've uploaded a picture of the tables diagram. Here's the link Best regards.

I have an SSAS cube that i want to add some actions to. I've had problems adding a reporting action to the cube so decided just to add a URL action instead. Start simple and build on the concepts...
So i add a new action, give it a name, set the Target Type to Cells, Taget object to All Cells. I've put no condition on the action since i want it to appear all the time.
The action content type is set to URL the action expression is set to [URL] I've also set a caption of "Google" under the additional properties and said that the caption is MDX (I'm aware that it isn't but i do intend to expand on this...).
I then build and deploy my cube, call up excel (2010) and then create a pivot table off the back of the cube but when i right-click the cells in the pivot table and go to "additional actions" it tells me that there are none specified.
I have a cube where i would like to define some actions. I have done report Actions but they are limiting in terms of what i am trying to achieve.I want a popup window from the action from relevant cells at the moment i can use the urlaction type to open the link in a new window which is ok but i want this as a popup.
I have been using database mail for quite a few years now. I started using it with SQL Server 2005 and then it worked fine. Then we went over to SQL 2012 and the problems started. At first I could not get any e-mails out and read a post by Microsoft that a patch needs to come out but not available yet. That was in 2012. Presumably the patch came out with windows updates and my DB Mail started working. Now, however, I have the problem that some e-mails do get sent but the majority failed.
I use this so that whenever a user captures certain data to update a person's status on the database then an automatic e-mail will be sent to that person to inform them of their status at this company.
It seems in the spec that Data Regions can only reference a single dataset, then why bookmarkID and bookmark action can reference a different dataset than the one that the Data Region is using?
Like in this case:
1) create a table with dataset1
2) create another table with dataset2
3) create a bookmarkID using =Last(somefield, "dataset1") in any table cell in the first table
4) create a bookmark action using =Last(somefield, "dataset1") in any table cell in the SECOND table.
This is valid report, and it can preview....
I know this example not practical at all, it is just used to illustrate my question.
Is this a scoping rule exception for any special reasons? or it's just a bug?
If it is a scoping rule exception, please explain, and a practical example would be great.

I have a package that has 4 Script Tasks that are placed sequentially.
I have Task1--> Task2-->Task3-->Task4
The arrows between them are OnCompletion Arrows as opposed to the Standard OnSuccess arrows.Even if Task2 failed, it would still execute 3 and 4
the catch is that i want it such that when i run the first time and task 2 fails, then all the tasks except task2 should run which is fine, but when i rerun it. I want it such that it realises that task 2 had failed earlier, so it runs just task2.... if both 2 and 4 had failed then it should just run 2 and 4
i tired to implement it with check points, but the problemn is that if it fails at task2 it stops at task2 and does not continue to execute tasks 3 &4... when u rerun it starts at 2 but like i said i would like 3 & 4 to have completed the previous run...
Hi All,I have a DTS package that runs calling a few stored procedures and anactiveX module. The package does some data cleanup and load. It takesan hour to complete. I have emails sent at the beginning and end ofthe package execution along with error notifications if any of thestep fails.The issue is that, the DTS runs successfully. I ran the package fromthe server and it completes. If I schedule it, it has been running forover a few months without any issues. One fine day hell broke looseand it started to give an attitude!!When the job is invoked automatically on the scheduled time, it runsthe package. Does what its supposed to do including sending out thefinal email. but is not finishing the job. The job says its stillexecuting but the final step has completed. I have tried logging thepackage, and it says completed the last step.. But the JOB Log hasn'twritten anything to the log file.. (Job Log is where I am logging thestep where I am calling the DTS).Has anyone have any idea what this issue is? I am at a dead end andhave no clue why this is happening. I am thinking of changing thewhole process but before that I want to try posting this.Any ideas, suggestions will be much appreciated. Please feel free tolet me know if there is any additional information you need in orderto troubleshoot this issue.Thanks in advance..Aravin.
I have three sequence containers setup to run in parallel. I have a final step that parses the log file and displays results, and I want to this to occur when all three containers have completed, success or failure. I therefore have a constraint from each container that feeds into my final step, and all three constraint types are set to "completion".
When I run the package and one of the tasks within a container fails (and fails its parent, but not the package) the final step is not executed.
If I take off all the constraints except one, the final step is executed as expected.
I am using checkpointing if that has any impact. Disabling it makes no difference.
I'm not entirely sure this is the place for it but I need to implement an automatic text completion function.
I'd like to know if there is something, such as a built-in function, that could help me. The best idea I have is to create some sort of node tree and work with that but there has to be a better way.
I need to do it in C# or in MS SQL. Any kind of help is much appreciated!
Is there a way (during the Control Flow) to force a package to complete successfully when a specific condition is met?
Here is what I'm trying to do:
A package will be scheduled to execute once a day The first thing it does is downloads Excel files from an FTP site. If there are no files to download, I don't want the package to fail, I simply want the package to stop (preventing the subsequent Data Flow tasks from executing), returning a successful completion.
The reason, I need a successful completion is because I plan to have MOM monitor the Windows event logs, notifying us of any errors that this package logs.
Hi, We are using Shared Schedule to trigger reports at a particular time. We are invoking the SQL Job associated with the shared schedule. How to identify when the shared schedule gets completed i.e. all the associated reports with the shared schedule are generated. We need to trigger other external processes once all the reports are generated. Kindly help me in this. Subash
Is there a way to trigger a SSIS package automatically when it ends successfully. Actually i am moving data from one database to other.......i am passing start date and end date as my paramter...So is there some way once my SSIS package ends succesfully then it can start again on its own reading a new set of date range from a file or something....
Hello All,I have a stored procedure which will act like a main/controller scriptwhich will then invoke more stored procedures (~20). Basically, itlooks something like below:-- start scriptcreate procedure ...print 'process started'exec sp_1exec sp_2exec sp_3....print 'process ended'-- end scriptLooking at it, after running that procedure, immediately I would expectthe first PRINT statement to be printed but it won't. It seemedthat the print statements would only display the messages afterthe whole processing completed.What's the reason for this sort of behaviour. If so, then we wouldnot be able to print any progress reporting in our scripts.Please comment.Thanks in advance.
I'm working on an application that involves various components two of which are an SSIS package and a C# windows service.
The SSIS package imports data from a number of structured flat files into database tables and then runs a number of stored procedures that rearrange/normalize the data and perform certain calculations the results of which are also stored in the database. The package will run at regular intervals as new data structured flat files become available.
The C# windows service is a caching server and the data it needs to cache is the results of the stored procedures run by the SSIS package. I'm therefore looking for a way to notify the C# app when the SSIS package has completed.
I've looked at Sql Servers Query Notification but, if i've understood correctly, that seems to depend on the client code issuing a SQL statement and attaching a sqldependency object that will check for changes to the resultset of the particular query which is not really what i'm after.
I've considered SSIS events but again i think for a C# app to monitor SSIS events the package needs to have been executed from within the C# app. If there's a way for the SSIS package, running completely independently of the C# process, to fire an event that the C# windows service can subscribe to then that would be ideal.
I don't know whether other options like Sql Server Notification Services or even something quite crude like writing a flag to a flat file that the C# service can read would be more ideal?

I need to build an automated email that gives the completion messageswhen a database is restored (i.e. "Executed as user: sa. ExecutingRESTORE DATABASE DB1 FROMDISK='h:ackupsDB1DB1_db_200411082056.BAK', RECOVERY [SQLSTATE01000] (Message 0) Processed 3816 pages for database 'DB1', file'DB1_Data' on file 1.

[SQLSTATE 01000](Message 4035)")Currently, the Job History box contains it, but I'd rather get it viaemail. The base restore statement works, but it gives me a "Cannotperform a backup or restore operation within a transaction." when Itry to run it as below.works:[build @RestoreCmd]exec (@RestoreCmd)doesn't:[build @RestoreCmd]create table #Error_Finder (listing nvarchar (4000))declare @Errors smallintinsert #Error_Finder exec (@RestoreCmd)EXEC xp_sendmail @recipients = 'dba',@query = 'SELECT * from #Error_Finder',@subject = 'SQL Server Restores'drop table #Error_FinderAny suggestions? My next thought is to start selecting against systemtables in msdb. It looks because the Insert can fail, it's atransaction.

How to calculate estimated completion time of a job and what is the variance/difference in time based on previous job history. Looking for tsql query which can accomplish this.For example)...Daily a job is taking 10 mins to complete. However, today due to some reason, the job is running over an hour and still running. It could be a blocking issue or some performance issue on the server due to which the job is still running.
In such cases, using a tsql query or a stored proc which monitor these jobs every 3 mins (Configurable value), so every 3 mins , query has to check, if they are any jobs which are taking more time than its usual completion time/avg completion time in that case shoot an email using dbmail functionality i.e. sp_Senddbmail .. From there, DBA can dig further using waits or sql trace etc...
