SQL Tools :: Disable Event Logging To Windows Application Log?
Oct 6, 2006
We are starting to work with SSIS in our production environment & due to support issues; we are trying to get rid of the "Package xxx started" log entries inside of the Windows Application Event Log...
So far, I have tried many different things, including setting the LoggingMode to "Disabled", as well as adding a new logging reference with a different destination... All of which still do not get rid of the extra log entries...
I am backing up my all the databases (around 50 servers and 500 database) using scheduled jobs. I backup my transaction log files at every two hours of interval and databases on daily basis.
I have set option of "Write to Windows Application Event Log" - When job fails during the creation of job in the "Notification Tab" of Create New Job.
As per documentation SQL server automatically records some of the events to windows application event log. After succesful completion of Log backup and DB backup, event gets logged in Windows Application Event Log. And when job fails, I get two events logged in the Windows Application Event Log file, one due to my setting and other automatically by SQL Server.
Due to this Windows event log file is growing much faster and I have to clear it in every 3-4 days.
My quesiton - Is there a way such that to get only failures event logged in Windows Application event log file and any successful backup jobs should not go to Windows application event file?
Can any suggest some idea what should I do?
I am using SQL Server 2000 with SP3 on Windows 2000 Advanced server. Some of my databases are still using Version 7.0/6.5 on NT.
I am developing a package on my local workstation. I have defined two logging service providers. One is for SQL Server and the other is for the Windows Event Log. I am using the Dts.Log method in a script task to write log entries.
Logging is working properly with the SQL Server provider and rows are being inserted into the sysdtslog90 table. However, the only events that are being logged in the Windows Event Log are the package start and end events which I believe SSIS is doing automatically anyway.
Is there something I need to do to enable WIndows Event Log logging other than defining a log provider and making sure it is checked active? Won't SSIS write to two different logs with one Dts.Log call? Any ideas on what might be going wrong with my approach?
Hi, I decided to use the SQL Server log provider to store logging data of all my Integration Services packages. I also created some reports about this data for operating purposes. I have a problem occurs the name of the executing package is not always written to the log,but the name of the single task which failed. But that is not very useful information for operating, because I do not see any chance to get the name of the package by the information which is logged in the sysdtslog90 table in the database which I defined for SSIS Logging.
How do I configure the package to always log the package information into the table, too?
My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-
Date 10/25/2011 10:55:46 AM Log SQL Server (Current - 10/25/2011 10:55:00 AM) Source spid Message Event Tracing for Windows failed to send an event. Send failures with the same error code may not be reported in the future. Error ID: 0, Event class ID: 54, Cause: (null).
Is there a way I can trace it how it is coming? When I check input buffer for these ids, it looks like it is tracing everything. All the general application DMLs are coming in these spids.
Is it possible to disable the logging operations for insert/update/delete in the transaction file for certain tables?
I have an application where I have to write temporary tables for calculations and printing and all the insert/update/delete absolutely don't have to be logged. They get deleted after use anyway.
Is there a way to turn on/off a given logger dynamically across the board, and still enable the logging of task specific events, like "ExecuteSQLExecutingQuery" from the ExecuteSQL task or "WMIDataReaderOperation" from the WMI Data Reader task?
The use case is one where multiple loggers are defined in a package (custom and stock) and I'd like to toggle the execution tracing on a per logger basis.
I realize "logger toggling" can be done programmatically, but I'm wondering if that's the only way to accomplish the objective.
I enabled Windows Events for OnError, OnTaskFailed, OnWarning for my package and subelements. However, even if no errors occur, I still get Informational Events generated even though those are disabled for all modules and packages.
Any way to disable Information Events? Is this an SSIS defect, or just an oddity of how it implements Windows Events?
Windows Event: Source: SQLISPackage Type: Information Event ID: 12288 Description: Package "XXXXXX" started.
I have an application that dumps massive amounts of data into a database during the installation. My log file always ends up being 30-40GB+ at the end of the install. Can I turn off logging while I do the install and enable it after? What are my options.
We are generating log file in our SSIS package by enabling the built-in feature of SSIS tool. We are generating log for the "OnError" event. This also recorded the error/failed task messages in the text file "log.txt". That error information is too complex with more unwanted information like below
----------------OnError,,,pkgExtract,,,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,-1071636471,0x,An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
OnError,,,pkgExtract,,,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,-1071607780,0x,There was an error with input column "create_user_id" (116) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (103). The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".
OnError,,,pkgExtract,,,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,-1071607767,0x,The "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (103)" failed because error code 0xC020907D occurred, and the error row disposition on "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (103)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. ---------------------------------
This is infact not in a better readable format. We also don't want to do our error logging in database.
Is there any way of defining our error log and create error error log with customization of our messages . Can we do it using OnError event handler.
Please help us with some good solution to avoid giving this confused error log messages.
After executing a package, I found that the values in the "executionid" column are the only ones that are unique. Can we use this to determine what package was run? We are trying to architect a solution that would allow us to determine as to how long a package ran, if it ran into warnings / errors etc., We can easily accomplish this by having our own table and using Global variables within packages, we could insert / update this table. Appreciate any help.
I am currently working to write a progress log for my SSIS packages. So far I am able write a new log entry, update this log entry using OnProgress and OnError Event Handlers. I'd like to take it one step further. Whenever the package ends whether cancelled or finished normally; I'd like to write to my logging table COMPLETED_ABNORMALLY on cancelled or COMPLETED_NORMALLY on a normal finish of the package. I'm not sure where to begin with this process. I'd like to utilize a simple method and event handler.
I'm trying to implement a custom log table. To keep the discussion simple, let's say I only have 1 column in this table and all I want to write in it are
"Start" when the package starts "Error" when it encounters an error "Finish" when the package finishes. Even if there was an error, I still want to enter "Finish'.
My Control Flow has 3 task objects, 2 Execute SQL Tasks, and 1 Data Flow Task in between them.
The first Execute SQL Task does an insert statement for the Start and the second Execute SQL Task does an insert for the Finish.
To capture any package errors, I also have an Execute SQL Task (to insert "Error") in the Event Handler for OnError. I see that when I cause an error in my package it can raise multiple OnError events, which will envoke my Execute SQL Task multiple times. (This is good because it will allow me to write a line per error event with the error description.)
The problem I have is, how do I write the "Finish" log when I have an error? If I put the insert for the finish in the same Execute SQL Task with the errors, then it will write a "Finish" for every error. But I can't put it anywhere else because if I put it anywhere else, the package never makes it there because it stops at the OnError Event Handler.
Or is there a way for me to tell the package to do the 2nd Execute SQL Task all the time?
Lastly, is there a better way to do this kind of custom logging?
I am attempting to write a Windows service that watches a database for uploaded files to import. When a new file is found, the corresponding SSIS package is run from the file system with variables passed through. I started development as a Windows app and copied the functionality to a service.
The app runs fine. The service does not. I get a "Failure" each time a package is executed. Everything is identical behind the scenes with the obvious exceptions that OnStart and OnStop handlers are buttons in the app. I added a script task at the beginning of one of the SSIS packages to notify me that it is even running at all. It doesn't even hit that initial task.
Again, the app will run all packages just fine. The data is imported and the results return as "Success."
The following is the code executing the package. Any help is appreciated. I've been banging my head on this one for a few days now. (Is there a tag to format a code sample?)
Dim pkgLocation As String Dim pkg As New Package Dim app As New Application Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult
What is the best way to disable using the Windows policy requirements when creating a new login?
example: I'm trying to create a login and the password doesn't meet the windows policy requirements. The easy thing to do would be to create a strong password. This isn't an option at the moment. I need to disable this so I can create new users that dont have strong passwords.
I understand the general SQL no-multiplexing-to-reduce-CALs idea. I have a semi-edge case: Does this apply to applications like IIS when using SQL to log access? IIS allows you to log web hits to an ODBC database -- so for a typical web app, that would mean getting a CPU license for SQL server. Is that correct?
What about a network monitoring app that sniffs packets and records network statistics? If there's only a 2 network devices (but potentially packets from millions of users), what does licensing look like then?
When does the "manual step" allowance kick in? For instance, if a user generates a report from SQL server and it's automatically saved as an HTML file to a webserver thats accessed publicly -- what's licensing for that?
I want to know if there is an event in profiler can catch web application name. If yes, which one? For example, there is SP named sp_storedprocedure that is called by www.web.com and www.web.com/forumdisplay.php?f=23. I want create a profiler trace that can catch www.web.com or www.web.com/forumdisplay.php?f=23 calling sp_storedprocedure. Any suggestion is great appreciated.

I would like to ONLY allow using SQL Server authentication and restrict Windows Authentication. At the moment, i set the security to "SQL server and windows authentication". Now, even though i set the password for "sa", i can ignore the SQL Server authentication and just use Windows authentication to manipulate database objects???
can anybody give some suggestions to restrict windows authentication and allow sql server authentication?.
i have a database for an application, which has some particular fields in some table. i want to make sure that data update in those fields should be only thru the application, and no one (even dba) should be able to update data in those fields thru sql tools.
this is to make sure that no body is updating the field except the users thru the application. as these fields contain infor about "approval" of documents.
In our sql server we have around 40 windows group. Say a Windows user = "X" This X user does not have a direct windows login, he is present in one or more windows groups registered in the sql server.
I need to know throught which group he is logging in.
If I know this , this will help in my auditing process.
Hi for everyone! I need any example to use raise error that write into event Viewer I use WITH LOG directive but it's no success. Sincerely. FAin Boris
I am developing a package that will be run by a master package. The main task of this package is to write the errorid, errordescription and other details passed by the master package to various destination like a text file, a sql server or an event log.
I am using the flat file and the OLEDB destination for the text file and sql server. But I could not find any destination component that will help to write to an event log. Do I have to write a destination custom component for this?
I will then use this package in the event handler at the package level. Also comment on my approach.
