Problem Loading And Executing An SSIS Package With Too Many Lookups In BIDS
Nov 29, 2007
I have an SSIS package with around 25 lookups. Developing the package itself was slow. Now, everytime I try to load the package it takes forever and whenever I execute it I get an error.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way I can optimize the package?
2. Is it abnormal to have so many lookups? I am loading a dimension table with many fields and I need to look up on 25 tables to get the keys. I know one alternative is to use left joins in the source query and get the keys in the Source itself but we can have more visibility of what's happenning with Lookups. I would like to know other possibilities with lookups.
I'm working on a fairly straight forward data transfer package and have found that the package runs dramatically faster when I run the package inside BIDS than with DTExec. When I run the package on the server using debug in BIDS, the job completes 1 million rows in around 6 minutes. When I run DTExec with the same package on the same server it is much slower and the package takes roughly 25 minutes to complete.
I know this sounds crazy and that it's supposed to be the other way around with DTExec running much faster, but I'm stumped as to what could be causing the issue. The machine this is running on is a two processor, dual core CPU with GB of RAM and I'm using terminal server to login and create the package with BIDS on SQL Server 2005 SP2.
The main feature of this package is a Foreach container that uses an ADO record set to loop over a set of values from a control table. There are a large number of iterations so the package loops frequently, but the data flow task is fairly simple and uses an OLEDB source and OLEDB destination to transfer data between two SQL Server 2005 databases.
The package works in either BIDS and DTExec, but I'm really puzzled why it would run so much faster inside BIDS?
I have developed a simple SSIS Package that will export data from an AS400 iSeries server to a flat file. When I try to debug the package I receive this error. I have tried to change the security level of the package to EncryptAllWithPassword and specified a password. For some reason the password for the connection to the AS400 is not being retained. when I enter the password the following error disappears when I try to debug the package the error returns. Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks in advance for your help.
Things to also know:
I am using a Native OLE DBIBM AS400 OLE DB Provider w/user name and password (Allow saving password checked) Test Connection succeeded.
I am using a OLE DB Source to extract the data with Data Access Mode of Table or View. When I try to select a table I am prompted from the AS400 to enter password. Then I can see the tables.
I can select the columns I need and click OK to save.
Error 1 Validation error. Data Flow Task: OLE DB Source [39]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SERVERNAME.USERNAME" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed. SSIAS400DataExport.dtsx 0 0
2 SQL Execute Task, One Loop container, 2 Data Flow tasks, 1 Foreach loop container, 1 ftp task. The data flow tasks has 1 oledb source, 1 flat file source, 1 row count transformation, 1 recordset destination and 1 oledb destination.
When I load the package into BIDS it takes 125 MB of memory and then everything is slow, the properties panel slides in slowly and exists slowly. The object is the packages are not painted properly. to make changes and run takes lot of time.
Am I doing anything wrong here? Why is it consuming so much of memory?
I have a SSIS package that contains a DTS 2000 package in it. The DTS 2000 package imports data into several tables from an ODBC data source. When I execute the package through BIDS, no problems. Everything works great. I am now trying to execute the SSIS package in my stored procedure & it gives me the following error: Error: 2007-01-30 11:54:24.06 Code: 0x00000000 Source: Populate IncrTables Description: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040427): Execution was canceled by user. at DTS.PackageClass.Execute() at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.Exec80PackageTask.Exec80PackageTask.ExecuteThread() End Error
I did a search for this & found KB 904796. It had the exact error message but I don't believe my packages uses 2000 metadata services. Just to be safe, I reinstalled the backward compatibility features & the DTS 2000 tools on the server. That still did not fix anything. I found another forum that suggested loading the DTS 2000 package internally, which I did & it did not fix anything. I am using a password for the protection level so that is not causing my issue. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what I might be able to try?

I have developed an SSIS package for ETL purpose. I am invoking the SSIS package through .Net console application by referencing the ManagedDTS Assembly. I am able to execute the package in Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition and it runs fine till completion.
But when i try to execute the packahe in Sql Server 2005 Standard edition, by invoking the package through .Net console application the status of the package is failure.
Can any one help me how to over come this problem.
I would like to fetch the data flow component name while package is executing. Since system variable named [System::SourceName] only fetches name of the control flow tasks? Is there a way to capture them?
I want to achieve the following in (SSIS/SSDT for SQL 2012) -Â
I have a generic SSIS package which simply sends out email notifications using SMTP email task (this package is within its own project, and has project level input parameters).
I need to be able to call this package in the Event handler section of every package (numbering in about less than 60) that we have. These packages are within their own respective projects.
I thought I could use the "execute package task", but it turns out , using this, I cannot call a package that is part of some other project. I also cannot call a package that is stored in the CATALOG. Is there any way I can do this ?
When I call the child package , I should be able to send in parameters like - error information and package name of the Parent package.
And there is a task (Execute SSIS package) in First package that calls the execution of second package.
I m continuously receiving an error "Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PackagePassword" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available."
As we are running first package by job, job runs successfully logging above error
The protection level of second package is set to "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey"
I have problem with SSIS. When I open my packages, I always get an error message which says like this: There were errors while the package was being loaded. The package might be corrupted. See the Error List for details.
And, in error list, I get this error message: Error loading DIM_BUSINESS_TYPES.dtsx: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'user'.".
But the package itself seems doesnt have any errors at all. When I try to run the package, it runs fine. Btw, I use package configuration which is stored in sql server table, including the password for connectionstring.
Hi All, I hav a strange problem. I created a SSIS package on my machine with protection level as "EncryptAllWithPassword".
When I deploy this package on a SQL Server on another machine (either in File System or SQL Server)and add it as a job in SQL Server Agent and try to run it through a scheduler or manually the job fails with the following message -
Executed as user:IBM-P4-1976SYSTEM. The package could not be loaded. The step failed.
However if I deploy it on my own machine the job runs successfully. Also if I run the package using dtexec utility on the another machine it runs successfully. It is not running as a job on another machine. All the logged in users have administrative rights. My databases are altogether on a different server.
Can any one help me out with this issue...Pleassssseeee...
Can someone tell me the best way to "automatically" execute a SSIS package. I have approximately 100 computers that I need to execute packages on. Here is the scenario:
I have some text files that are coming from our AS400 to a local computer (the package will NOT be used to bring files from our AS400. I will be using Client Access for that). The text files will be stored in a specified directory on the local computer. I will be importing these text files into a SQL Database on all 100 machines. Once I create the Import Package, what is the best way to execute this package on the devices?
I thought maybe after creating the package, I can put an EXE on the desktop that will execute the SSIS package. This way all I would have to do is click a icon on the desktop. I don't know if this is feasible or not. After building a package, do you make it a EXE or what? Pease advise. Thank in advance.
First I explain my environment: - SSIS Packages are stored on 64bit Server (Win 2003 64bit, SQL 2005 64bit) - .NET (C#) application (on Win 2003 32bit Server) which loads and executes the SSIS Packages.
I can execute my SSIS Package localy on the 64bit Server and they work fine. When I execute the SSIS Package from the Application I get following exeption: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {697AC67E-FDD5-46D1-90D7-F3D0DF1B2A47} failed due to the following error: 80040154. ... at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package..ctor()
The code looks like: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package local_Package = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package(); Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult local_DTSExecResult = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult(); Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application local_Application = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application();
Other question would be: how can I execute a package directly on the server?? I mean without "LoadPackage"?? I guess the problem on top is because on the 32bit Server there is only Framework installed but not Integration Services Tools ...
I have created a SSIS package through SSIS Tool. Protection Level is 'EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey'. When I execute , it works fine.
I have written a code to execute SSIS package through .net application. When i try in my local PC. The package works fine.
When I deployed in Webserver, it throws an error,
DTS Package: Package1 failed. Error Details as follows. 1. Source : Execute SQL Task Description : Failed to acquire connection "DatabaseConnection ADO.NET". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
"DatabaseConnection ADO.NET". is a connection which is specified in the SSIS.
Is it possible to execute an SSIS package from Linux? Before with 2005, we were able to execute a job that would execute the DTS, now we're trying to execute an SSIS package in 2005.

I have a parent package that calls a child package. When this is executed on SQL server (the actual server host SSIS services) it executes fine I can see data in the correct tables and I can determine that is ran. But I try to run this from my local pc within the designer (Visual Studios) and the parent package runs a few task that are before the child package task but once it gets to the child package it stops. I have set breakpoint on several task with the parent package and I can step thru them but once it gets to the child it tries to run it then the execute package task object turns red. I can not find any error messages or codes. I even have beak points set up on the child package itself and the process never hits those break points but I'm assuming is cause is puking before I get to the child package.
The child package is stored in SQL server and is in MSDB. I just want to debug the child packages from BIDS or visual studios?
any one know how to debug child packages from BIDS or Visual Studios? I can if I run the child package by itself but I need to test from end to end ....so within the parent packages which calls a few child packages..
Is it possible to execute a child package from a parent package ashnchronously.
I have a SQL Server table containing a list of packages to execute. I want to create a master package that will query this table, and execute each of the packages asynchronously.
I've tried using the Execute Package task and also executing packages programtically from a Script task, but these only seem to work synchronously.
I have also seen suggestions about executing packages asynchronously from T-SQL by starting a job, however, I'd rather not have to dynamically create jobs for each package I want to execute.
Any ideas would be welcome. Or even an answer of "No this is not possible".
I am trying to execute a ssis package, where a user will be able to excute the package from an ASP page, the user will select a file, this will be the source file for the SSIS package, this will change when ever the package is executed, I was thinking of just using a sqlClient.sqlCommand and editing the command text and excuting it that way, or through a SP, would this be the best solution? Is there a better solution? and if not what would be the SQL command to execute the package, along with editing the variable?
While executiing an SSIS package i get the follwoing error:
Executed as user: <User>. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 9.00.3042.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

Started: 11:00:00 PM Finished: 11:00:01 PM Elapsed: 0.859 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
The SSIS package contains one "Execute DTS 2000 package" which is written in SQL server 2000. The DTS written in SQL server 2000 and then i made the SSIS package for the same to be executed as "Execute DTS 2000 package" BUt the package execution fails.
I have seen some workaround also for same where it was saying to install some dll files for SQL server 2000 Meta data services. SQL server 200 meta data services is required for running DTS packages in SQL server 2005 server.
I installed that also but still the same error.
I have done all but all in vain. Your help will be very helpfull since this is the production issues.
I am facing a problem in my packages. Whn I execute them in Visual Studio, it works fine but when I execute as standalone i.e by Cmd or by Double clicking on it, it throw PRODUCTLEVELTOERROR and "This component requires higher version of SSIS". I have SSIS running on my system as service and my SQL version is as below:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3186.00 (X64) Aug 11 2007 05:31:24 Copyright 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
I went through some sites and they say the issue is SSIS service not running or Standard version of SSIS. But my SSIS version and ssis service are both fine. I went through http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143761.aspx and as per this it should be working on my system. Can anybody explain the reason why I am getting this error. Also, in one of my components, I am using reflection but this should not be an issue.
I have a package which reads from a source, does some transformation and then loads into a target table(custom transformation build to handle multiple scenarios for insert/update/delete etc). For couple of packages, I am facing an unusual problem. The package gets stuck after executing for some records. There is no data flow in the buffer. But again, if I stop executing the package and run it again, it runs through fine. Any idea what could be issue or what particularly I should be looking for in order to debug this issue.
I have scheduled an SQL Job to run every 15 mins. This runs an SSIS package. But sometimes my package might execute for more than 15 mins. In this case, a second instance of the package would start. I don't want this to happen. So is there any way I can check whether the package is already running before I continue the execution of the same. Right now I am using a mutex to handle this problem. Are there any problems using the mutex and is there a better way to handle this?
I am using C# exe to run the SSIS packages. I have placed the SSIS packages in a folder. So everytime i try to execute the SSIS through the exe i get the error "
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user '[UserName]'.".
While creating the SSIS, i have saved the password. But when i open the SSIS to check I just see that the password field is blank.
Is there any other property which i need to set to keep the password saved forever??
I have a SSIS Package that I am executing from a Web service. The SSIS Package is stored as a file. That works fine. In the SSIS package I have one ADO.NET, .Net ProvidersSqlClient Connection. For the Protection Level I have EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey.
My problem comes when I change the Protection Level to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword. Now the SSIS package is throwing an error when trying to connect to the sql database: Login failed for user _ _
I believe my problem is that I don€™t know how to pass the password of the SSIS package from the Web service into the SSIS package.
Below is part of the code for the Web service:
<WebMethod()> _ Public Function LaunchSSISPackage( _ ByVal variableName As String, _ ByVal variableValue As Object) As Integer 'DTSExecResult Dim packagePath As String Dim myPackage As Package Dim integrationServices As New Application Dim SSISvar As Variable
I have SSIS packages created to import .xls files into sql tables. I now have vb.net code within which I am trying to execute individual packages whenever my code notices the .xls files being deposited within a network folder. When I try to run my code I get the error message:
Assertion Failed:Abort=Quit, Retry=Debug, Ignore=Continue at STrace.ReadTraceValues() at STrace..cctor() at STrace.Trace(String strComponentName, String strLine) at ManagedHelper.GetNextManagedInfo(DTS_Managed_INFO&nextManagedInfo)
here is my code:
Sub RunPackage(ByVal pkgCMD As String)
'
Dim app As New Application
Dim pkg As New Package
Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult
'Dim pkgevents As IDTSEvents
'
pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgCMD, Nothing)
pkgResults = pkg.Execute()
The error occurs during the pkg=app.LoadPackage(pkgCMD, Nothing) statement. Any idea of how I determine why the SSIS package will not load thru my vb app? It runs fine if I load the SSIS package in SSBIDS. Thanks for any help or guidance.
How can I execute an SSIS package from TSQL without using xp_cmdshell?
I have a web-app which calls some SQL which executes my SSIS package (a DTSX file, but stored in the server). But the security policy for my application won't permit me use to xp_cmdshell.
I want to do this:- DECLARE @returncode int EXEC @returncode = xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /sq pkgOne"'
Is there another way for executing a Package without going to the command line (e.g. is there some other system stored proc)?
In SQL Server 2005 I need a stored procedure that will execute an SSIS Package for me. There is some earlier stuff on the board but I don't understand it. I don't want to create a Job to do it if I don't have to.
I have an SSIS package that utilises a 3rd party ftp program to transfer files (over HTTPS). This software stores details in the users profile relating to addresses, user names and password for transfers. As this is the case the Package needs to be executed by the domain user who has the details set in their profile. The package needs to be executed at a scheduled interval - so I have set up an Agent job to do this, and have the the 'Run As' setting, as a proxy which maps to the required domain user.
The package works fine when executing manually when the required user is logged in. If, however, the user is not logged in - ie when the job kicks off at the schecduled time, the file transfer fails. On debugging I can see that the agent job does not load the user's profile -but instead uses the 'Default User' profile.
The job owner is set as the same domain user that the Run As setting for the step is set. The SQL Server Agent services runs as a different Domain user.
Has anyone else had similar problems - Are there any extra permissions I need to set?
So there are 2 connections: one to a excel file, and second to SQL using sa account. I am working on my account belonging to Administrators group.
SQL Server and Excel file are on my development machine. Everything works ok when I run package from file system using DTExecUI.exe (in context of my user belonging to Administrator group). But when I have created job to execute this package problem with security occured. Even assigning local account on which SQL Server and SQL Server Agent works to Administrator group do not help. I have simulated what can happen when running DTExecUI.exe utility in contex of different user. I have used Administrator (I start it using "Run As..." from context menu in Explorer"). And what occured, SSIS package can not login to SQL Server using sa user!
1. Why running DTExecUI.exe in context of different user impact login to SQL on sa accout? If it were Windows Integrated I could understand it.
2. Especially if the different user is also Administrator!!!
I have found solution for running a task in SQL Agent - SQL Agent has to work on the same account on which SSIS package was created. But this is crazy when I would like to deploy it to a production server.
Hey guys, I've got a problem here. I need to send the query result to a csv file then transfer the file to a website. I thought this is a good candidate for a SSIS package. The package is ready now but I don't know how can I execute it from within a stored procedure. I thought sp_OA family of extended procedure would be helpfull. After following steps: EXEC @hr1 = sp_OACreate 'DTS.Package', @oPKG OUT
EXEC @hr1 = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, 'exec' EXEC @hr1 = sp_OADestroy @oPKG it tells me command execute successfully. But no package actually gets executed and I can see no results Thanks
