SQL 2012 :: SSIS Execution In Parallel
Feb 24, 2015
We have a monitoring tool that find a query that is using most of execution time of all sessions on the server.
I located it, and found it is a data flow task in an SSIS package.
It export data from a table which has big mount of data to another database.
I know it only executes one time, but I see in the monitoring tool it executes 4 times.
I am wondering is it because SSIS is doing it in parallel execution automatically?
We use all default settings, and the server physical cpu is 4.
Also it says the query is slow is because it has a wait called PREEMPTIVE_OS_WAITFORSINGLEOBJECT
not sure what does that mean

Is there any way to run a stored procedure in parallel to another one? i.e. I have a stored procedure that sends an email. I then scan a table and send any unsent emails. I do not want the second part to slow the response to the user.

I'd like to run 4 stored procedures in parallel on 4 different processors on our server.
Does anyone know the syntax to do that? (Could not find it on the web so far).
Anything else I need to do in addition to the specific syntax (i.e. any specific properties to set in Enterprise Manager)?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

I have another post here regarding SQL 2005 running a query 50% slower than on 2000. It was discovered that 2005 runs the query in series whereas 2000 runs it in parallel.
Even with "Cost Threshold For Parallelism" set to a default value – 0, 2005 still executes my query in series. Does anyone know how to force a query to run in parallel in SQL 2005. I specifically want to set it at the database level.

I have a SQL 7 db with a union query (view), and I'm getting the error, "Thequery processor could not start the necessary thread resources for parallelquery execution." This union query has been in place for about two years nowwith no problems until just now, though I haven't changed anything. Also, Ihave a local copy of the database on my machine, and the query runs fine.As noted, I haven't changed anything in the query, nor in the SQL settings.There is a network administrator, so it's possible that he may have changeda setting, but I don't know what. The query is reproduced below. Any ideasas to what's going on would be appreciated.NeilMain query:SELECT Tmp.INVCUST, Tmp.SDNBR, Tmp.SDBOOK, Tmp.SDIVCLN,Tmp.SDPAID, Tmp.SDPRICE, Tmp.SDCOPIES, Tmp.Location,INVTRY.AUTHILL1, Tmp.INVDATE, INVTRY.SaleSrc,INVTRY.HoldInitFROM (SELECT INVDATE, INVCUST, SDNBR, SDBOOK, SDIVCLN,SDPAID, SDPRICE, SDCOPIES, 'P' AS LocationFROM vwInvoiceDetUNION ALLSELECT INVDATE, INVCUST, SDNBR, SDBOOK, SDIVCLN,SDPAID, SDPRICE, SDCOPIES, 'N' AS LocationFROM vwInvoiceDetNUNION ALLSELECT INVDATE, INVCUST, SDNBR, SDBOOK, SDIVCLN,SDPAID, SDPRICE, SDCOPIES, 'M' AS LocationFROM vwInvoiceDetM) Tmp INNER JOINdbo.INVTRY ON Tmp.SDBOOK = dbo.INVTRY.[Index]vwInvoiceDet:SELECT tabInvoice.INVDATE, tabInvoice.INVCUST,SALEDET.SDNBR, SALEDET.SDBOOK, SALEDET.SDINVNUM,SALEDET.SDPRICE, SALEDET.SDPAID, SALEDET.SDCOPIES,SALEDET.SDIVCLN, tabInvoice.INVNBR, SALEDET.SDIDFROM dbo.tabInvoice INNER JOINdbo.SALEDET ONdbo.tabInvoice.INVNBR = dbo.SALEDET.SDNBR(vwInvoiceDetN and vwInvoiceDetM are similar to vwInvoiceDet.)

Hi,
We have a process that builds our data warehouse.
The processes execute SPs in serial order.
Each SP builds separate table.
Each table is build destructive (truncate and Insert Into).
I've tried to change the configuration by running 4 SP in parallel by SSIS to shorten the update time.
I've noticed in two declines in performance:
1. Each SP execution time is higher in the parallel execution in around 50% then in the serial execution. The CPU utilization is the same.
2. On each parallel execution we have a decline in performance of around 5 -10% compare to the previous parallel execution.
Do you have any directions to inquire?
Btw €“ we have Itanium 64bit x8 with 32GB memory
Thanks,
Assaf

Is is possible to get the iterations in a foreach loop to run in parallel? What I need to do is to spawn an arbitrary number of parallel execution paths that all look exactly the same. The number is equal to the number of input files, which varies from time to time. Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
we're accessing a SQL Server as a source for some SSIS packages using quite complex SQL commands. We have dataflows getting data from up to 10 queries. The problem is that SSIS starts all these queries in parallel using up all the memory of the server (the source SQL server, not the server SSIS is running on). So the queries are very slow. Is there any way to force SSIS to start the queries after each other?
I already browsed the web for some answers on that and I'm not very optimistic... Maybe the only solution is really to feed the result of the query in raw files and process them later...
Thanks,

I have been trying to the query optimizer to generate a parallel execution plan but no matter the MaxDOP (0) or Cost Threshold (5) settings I use it will only execute in serial.
UPDATE [dbo].[Targus_201412_V7_B]
SET [URBAN] =(
CASE
WHEN [METRO_STATUS] = 'Urban' THEN 1
ELSE 0

How do I grant a regular user or group the same rights to view the SSIS execution reports as say the sysadmin role?
I need to figure out how to give users the visibility of those reports without actually granting sysadmin.

I've got an SSRS report that is set up using a data-driven subscription to supply input parameters to the stored procedure that is called to generate the report results.
I was wondering if there is any way to specify the execution processing method (running the reports in parallel or serially). The subscription that we have set up appears to be running all of the reports in parallel which is causing massive load on our servers.
Thanks.

what the ideal CPU count and Max Degree of Parallelism are for a 3rd party database server.The server has 12 CPUs, 32GB RAM and all database sizes add up to < 30GB so they can all fit in memory (I tried to force this by doing a select * from every table). On certain payroll days, the CPU gets maxed out to 100% for a few seconds.
MAXDOP was originally set to the default 0. We later changed it to 8 based on several 'best-practices' articles. However the vendor suggests to change it to 1 (no parallelism), while others suggest changing it to 4, so that one run-away query doesn't hog most of the CPUs.
I'd like to find out how many CPUs are actually being used by queries. There is a Degree of Parallelism event in URL.... The BinaryData column says :
0x00000000, indicates a serial plan running in serial.
0x01000000, indicates a parallel plan running in serial.
>= 0x02000000 indicates a parallel plan running in parallel.- What does "parallel plan running in serial" mean ?
I see a lot of 0x01000000, and a few 0x08000000's in my trace.How can i determine whether one query is hogging CPUs and if reducing it to 4 will work?

I create a main program which will launch two jobs at a time, each job does some processes and at the end I'm trying to delete those jobs after storing the job details in one of the custom table I created (cleanup sub-program).
Out of two jobs I am able to store one job details (like job_name,job_id,start_time and end_time of the job) in the custom table and able to delete that job, but the job that's getting completed at the end is not getting captured nor getting deleted from sysjobs and sysjobhistory tables.
I had included this step (which will call the cleanup sub-program to store the job details and delete it) at the end. I can see that this cleanup procedure getting called from debug message but it is neither storing details nor deleting the job.
When I execute this cleanup program separately, it does store the job details and delete it.

I have a stored procedure that calls several views that rely on each other. In the past these views used to go parallel and use up all 100% of the CPU (12 cores), and now when the same stored procedure runs it only uses 8% of the CPU (1 core). This extends the time spent on the query from roughly 10-15 sec to 2-3min. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.
Are there some obvious things to look at when optimizing views to utilize all cores/threads? Also, it doesn't matter if I set Cost Threshold for Parallelism to 1 or 50 or 5, it is always the same, and I have Max Degree of Parallelism set to 0 as well, which should mean to use all cores when available.

I come from other ETL tools (Oracle Warehouse Builder, BODI, BODS & DataStage) and i'm having trouble finding the best practice for scheduling a collection of packages to be processed parallel en retry those that fail. I created a staging project which contains all the packages (50) that extract data from 1 source system and grouped the packages into 2 sequence containers to make sure that the 'heavy' packages are started first and together in parallel.
I soon discovered that there is no standard option to have one child package retry on failure. Currently if 1 package fails the whole project is retried.
I explored checkpoints as a solution but that seems a dead end when running packages in parallel.
There seem to be 2 solutions for my issue:
(1) create a loop around every EPT with 3 variables (waittime, retry_counter & succes_flag)
(2) create an event handler to keep a list of ID's that failed and enable/disable EPT's based on that list (there's a lot more to it).
Option 1 seems like a lot of bloatware in what i expected to be standard functionality. I'm still investigating option 2.
How do others handle this kind of scheduling? Is it so different with SSIS that i'm approaching this incorrectly ?

I have a table with 8 columns, I need to update data in multiple columns on this table, this table contains 1 million records, having single update was taking time so I broke the single update into multiple update statements and running multiple update statements in parallel, Each update statement updates different column.
This approach is working fine but I am getting the deadlock error.
Transaction (Process ID 65) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
I tried with various lock hints but no success.

I have a scenario where i have to run update task on multiple servers in parallel and once all of them are completed (success or failure) another task is to be run on another server
1. in maintenance plan, if we add tasks which are not joined, will they run in paralled at the same time
2. if we link the last task to all the tasks with link type 'completed' will the last task complete after all tasks are completed or when any one of them is completed (i have big doubt here)
the business requirement behind this is to bring data from multiple servers into shadow copies locally and then process them together. its ok if some server data transfer fails, but its not ok to start processing centrally while data transfer is going on. further, we want to run data transfer from multiple servers in paralleled to save time.

Is the SQL Server Profiler Reads Column Incorrect For Parallel Plans?
I often use profiler as one tool to identify bad plans. The reads column gives me a good indication of excessive IO to dig into and correct if necessary. I often use it with Showplan so I can see what a query does, replicate it and fix it.
However I have just lost some faith in it. I am looking at a poorly performing query joining five tables. A parallel plan has been generated and one table is being scanned (in parallel) due to a missing index. This table had in excess of 4 million rows in it. The rest hitd indexes well. However the entire query generates ONLY 12 READS.
Once corrected, a single processor plan is used. This looks really efficient and uses 120 reads. That looks the right figure to me.
Does the profiler only display one thread of a parallel plan perhaps? Or something else?

I have a deadlock trace running on a production server that is filling up with the following:
Lock: Deadlock Chain
Parallel query worker thread was involved in a deadlock SPID 8
105 - Resource Type Exchange
Spid 8 is a SQL process LOCK MONITOR
There are no graphs as seen with typical deadlock, so it is not two queries that are deadlocking, and I've never seen a deadlock for "LOCK MONITOR"

I have seen a number of posts regarding parallel development of SSIS packages and need some further information.
So far we have been developing SSIS packages along a single development stream and therefore have managed to avoid parallel development of our packages.
However, due to business pressures we will soon have multiple project streams running in parallel, and therefore multiple code branches, as part of that we will definitely need to redevelop the same SSIS packages in parallel. Judging from your post above and some testing we have done this is going to be a nightmare as we cannot merge the code. We can put in place processes to try and mitigate this but there are bound to be issues along the way.
Do you know whether this problem is going to be fixed? We are now using Team Foundation Server but presumably the merge algorythm used is same/similar to that of VSS and therefore very flaky?
However, not only are we having problems with the merging of the XML files, but we also use script tasks within the packages which are precompiled, as the DTSX files contain the binary objects associated with the script source code, if two developers change the same script task in isolated branches the binary is not recompiled as the merge software does not recognise this object.
Do you know whether these issues have been identified and are going to be fixed to be in line with the rest of Microsoft Configuration Managment principles of parallel development?
Many thanks.

Hi,
I am facing some problem's while using the FOR loop container to execute 7-10 packages in parallel.
The main package has 7 FOR loop containers say F1-F7.
Each FOR loop container has 2 task's
T1==> exec child package C1
T2==> exec delay task Delay1.
The idea is to run child packages c1-c7 in parallel ...delay for some time and then run again since there are in the FOR loop container.
I am facing someproblems.
1. The execution of tasks T1-T7 is not guranteed. This means SSIS picks up any 6 tasks of T1-T7 randomly to start with. 6 is the max it processes whereas i have more than that. Can i change this setting???
2. Its not guranteed that if say Task t1 of FOR loop F1 is executed the subsequent task for Delay within tat For loop would be executed next. Typically wat happens is it starts with T1-T6 (T7 onhold) and then exec the delay for T1-T5 and passes control to T7 without going into the delay for T6.This is not the intended execution.
What i want is exec T1-t7 ..delay for the next exec and start again.
How do i do this.

Hi,
I have a problem with the task "event watcher".
I've made a query like the one in msdn (SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE Targetinstance ISA "CIM_DirectoryContainsFile" and TargetInstance.GroupComponent= "Win32_Directory.Name="e:\\temp""). I have 20 similar tasks for watching in different folders, but when there are too much tasks in parallel, it doesn't work anymore. I change the numbers of executables to 128 (in the general properties of the package (to test)) but it doesn't seems to work.
I don't understand why it works when there are only 1 or 2 (6 seems to be the maximum) tasks and not if there are more than 6.
Could you help me with this issue?

Hi,
I have stumbled on a problem with running a large number of SSIS packages in parallel, using the €œdtexec€? command from inside an SQL Server job.
I€™ve described the environment, the goal and the problem below. Sorry if it€™s a bit too long, but I tried to be as clear as possible.
The environment:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, SQL Server 2005 32bit Enterprise Edition SP2.
The goal:
We have a large number of text files that we€™re loading into a staging area of a data warehouse (based on SQL Server 2k5, as said above).
We have one €œmain€? SSIS package that takes a list of files to load from an XML file, loops through that list and for each file in the list starts an SSIS package by using €œdtexec€? command. The command is started asynchronously by using system.diagnostics.process.start() method. This means that a large number of SSIS packages are started in parallel. These packages perform the actual loading (with BULK insert).
I have successfully run the loading process from the command prompt (using the dtexec command to start the main package) a number of times.
In order to move the loading to a production environment and schedule it, we have set up an SQL Server Agent job. We€™ve created a proxy user with the necessary rights (the same user that runs the job from command prompt), created an the SQL Agent job (there is one step of type €œcmdexec€? that runs the €œmain€? SSIS package with the €œdtexec€? command).
If the input XML file for the main package contains a small number of files (for example 10), the SQL Server Agent job works fine €“ the SSIS packages are started in parallel and they finish work successfully.
The problem:
When the number of the concurrently started SSIS packages gets too big, the packages start to fail. When a large number of SSIS package executions are already taking place, the new dtexec commands fail after 0 seconds of work with an empty error message.
Please bear in mind that the same loading still works perfectly from command prompt on the same server with the same user. It only fails when run from the SQL Agent Job.
I€™ve tried to understand the limit, when do the packages start to fail, and I believe that the threshold is 80 parallel executions (I understand that it might not be desirable to start so many SSIS packages at once, but I€™d like to do it despite this).
Additional information:
The dtexec utility provides an error message where the package variables are shown and the fact that the package ran 0 seconds, but the €œMessage€? is empty (€œMessage: €œ).
Turning the logging on in all the packages does not provide an error message either, just a lot of run-time information.
The try-catch block around the process.start() script in the main package€™s script task also does not reveal any errors.
I€™ve increased the €œmax worker threads€? number for the cmdexec subsystem in the msdb.dbo.syssubsystems table to a safely high number and restarted the SQL Server, but this had no effect either.
The request:
Can anyone give ideas what could be the cause of the problem?
If you have any ideas about how to further debug the problem, they are also very welcome.
Thanks in advance!
