SSIS Package Validation
Jan 19, 2006Whenever I open a saved SSIS package, validation takes over and it can take a long time to do that. Is there a way to disable the validation process when opening the SSIS package? Thanks.

The reason is - when I take a package from PROD and open it in DEV - initially all settings-variables are wrong - and the validation takes heck of long time in that case. And then I need to change the variables and reload the package. And bloody hell - if I forgot to change a variable - I sometimes have to validate package 3 times. And sometimes - I only need to get visual look of package - so why do I always need to wait for validation...
We are going to be running a package repeatedly 24/7. The same package against the same data store, filtered using a "stageFlag" so as not to read rows previously processed. We have various timing statistics and have yet to fine tune; but on the surface it appears that it takes approximately three minutes to validate and another three minutes to run. If we have no additional data on the second run it still takes three minutes to complete - to do nothing but skip rows already processed.
Is it possible to set this up to run repeatedly without the validation on each iteration?
Any ideas as to how this would be accomplished would be greatly appreciated.
My SSIS package will just hang (do nothing) after validation of the package tasks. I realised that it does 2 validation. It then hits "starting exectuing" and then nothing. I mean nothing. It just stays the same. When I look into the logg file, the same message as in the output window. My package has parallel extract of data from the same datasource, but different tables. I dont know if that the problem but i really doubt it because i have done parallel table downloads countless times in version 2000. When i go into the data task window, the source task does no even indicate that its downloading (color yellow). Is there any reason why this will happen? Ooo, but the tasks executes just fine when i execute them individually (right click > execute).

Turn off validation during execution on SSIS Service (after previously validated in dev)? Or be able to control when validation takes place in general?
In my one package (1 of 5) I have 43 data flows (with a single source to target mapping) in 4 sequence containers, and it takes approximately 2-3 seconds per source to target mapping and sequence container to validate which will translate to 1 ˝ to 2 ˝ minutes to open. When the project with all 100+ tables for the data warehouse goes through validation, I can make coffee in the time it takes to open the project. I have to delete *.suo file (or verify all packages are closed in the designer and save the project file), and when I open the project, I have to jump immediately to SSISĂ Work Offline to set it to not validate the metadata to be able to work in a timely fashion. DelayValidation=TRUE does not help much.
Running in debug mode, has an effect of causing packages that were not open and validated to go through validation though I am not running those packages. Validate once during design and run forever.
Even if I re-open a package that I just closed from designer and had gone through validation, it will go through the validation process again.
It would be great if there could be an on-demand option off the menu bar to allow one to control when validation can take place for a project, or a more granular validation option for a specific data flow or container.
When I push my SSIS packages up to my production server (which has a different data source than my developement environment) and I try to open the package on the production server, it takes forever for to validate all the steps of the SSIS package because it's trying to validate against a datasource that isnt there, so it just waits for each element it's validating to time out. This is exceptionally annoying.
Is there a way to turn off this validation 'feature'?
Hi
I have created a package which executes every 10 mins. Last week end for maintenance purpose, I shutdown my database. Now as an initial execution process, my package does the default validation steps on which the database connection validation step fails. As this is the default functionality of SSIS I am not able to capture this error. Is there anyway to capture this error inside SSIS Package?
Thanks in advance.

I have an SSIS package authored in SSDT for VS 2013 that cancels itself immediately after validation completes and execution commences. This behavior occurs when executed either in VS 2013 or from within SQL Server. No error messages are thrown in either the debug window or the log output (log is capturing everything). The only thing that occurs differently on this package as compared to another package I am able to execute successfully is that a command line window briefly flashes when the package cancels itself—but it is gone so fast I cannot read it. The last several lines of the debug output are as follows:
-----------------
Information: 0x40043006 at Merge Info, SSIS.Pipeline: Prepare for Execute phase is beginning.
Information: 0x40043007 at Merge Info, SSIS.Pipeline: Pre-Execute phase is beginning.

Information: 0x400490F5 at Merge Info, Lookup Org [47]: Lookup Org has cached a total of 26719 rows.
[Code] ....
What circumstances an SSIS package would cancel itself without throwing any errors?
I am using SSIS to populate a star schema.
The issue is in the data flow for loading and setting the Fact table dimension keys (the dimensions are all loaded fine). After 16 rather pedestrian Lookup Transformations, I have an escalating problem adding additional Lookup transforms to the Data Flow. The problem is not in execution; the problem is adding more transforms in design mode.
Lookup # Fields in Data Flow Time to validate that lookup
<17 47 Sub-second
17 48 2 sec
18 49 4 sec
19 50 8 sec
20 51 16 sec
21 52 32 sec
22 53 64 sec
While I€™m intrigued by the mathematical progression that is forming here, the issue is that I have at least 6 more Lookups to perform. I hope you can see my dilemma.
I have gone to where it takes a little over 4 minutes each to validate the lookup transform and its associated Derived Column transform and Union transform (Total 12 Minutes). Not only does this add up to many idle minutes to each design step, BUT it breaks the debugger as it pre-validates the ENTIRE data flow before it ever switches into debugging mode.
Some notes:
1. It doesn€™t matter what order the Lookup transforms occur in, the timings are exactly the same.
2. I tried many Data Flow execution optimizations, but they don€™t improve the validation times (or even get a chance to improve the execution times!)
I realize this may be somewhat of a unique problem.
Thanks for any help you are able to lend.

I am creator of this package. This package used to work fine both from studio and deployed on server. I come back this project, but can't get package even runing debug in studio with protectionLevel set as EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey or EncryptSensitiveWithPassword.
Does anyone see this problem before?

I've built an SSIS package in SSDT 2014. The package was running successfully
When I close and open the package it hangs on validation of single task out of all.
OLEDB DESTINATION Task
I have tried several times to close the SSDT and open but facing same issue.
These seems like bugs in SSIS/SSDT. What would cause the relocation of some script code to hang the validation process like this?
While Creating a script task in Control Flow, I am getting "Package Validation Error". Here is the complete message:
Error at Validate File and Load Data: The task is configured to pre-compile the script, but binary code is not found. Please visit the IDE in Script Task Editor by clicking Design Script button to cause binary code to be generated.
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
As mentioned in the message, I opened the script IDE and added the code I need. When I close the VSA IDE, package designer displays the same error message.
The worst part of whole story is that if I close the package designer and reopen it, I find that all the code I wrote in the script task has been deleted by the package designer. This is not at all acceptable as I saved the package the and still lost all my work. I did all the coding from scratch for that task.
Please respond if anyone faced similar problem.
Thanks in advance!

When ExtractandWrite.dtsx is executed by right-clicking on package, the package executes without any errors.
DelayValidation = True for the Execute Package Task tasks is set and DelayValidation for the connection manager is set to True.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be causing this error?

Hy everybody,
I just one question : How can I disable the package validation when I open it ?
When I collect the packages from the production environment, I open them on my pc and I wait 5 minutes by package while the validation are complete... It's so long because the connection point to the production and they must point to the test environment (My pc isn't connected to the network )
To make this change, I must wait 5 long minutes by package and I'm eager...
Someone have the answer ?
regards
Arnaud

I have a package which takes a text file and imports data into a SQL table. It returns the Package Validation Error:
Error at Data Flow Task [SQL Server Destination [1430]]: Failure inserting into the read-only column "ZipCode".
The column ZipCode in the sql table is a varchar(50) column. I do not understand why it thinks the column is a read only column; if someone could shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hello,
I created a new SSIS Package. I want to send an e-mail when an error occurrs.
I set the OnError event to send an e-mail. I then decided to test this so I dropped my input SQL table. When I drop the import SQL table I get a Package Validation Error and I don't get my e-mail.
Am I making a mistake. I want to always send an e-mail when an error occurrs in my SSIS package.
By the way I did add an e-mail at the end of my SSIS package to verify my SMTP is working - it did.
Thanks,
Michael
Hi,
I have a package which has 5 connection managers. One of the Connection Manager has incorrect server name, which results in Package Validation error. Which event handler should be used to run on such errors for OnError Event handler doesnt work @ all.
Thanks

Hi,
Simple question, is there a way to stop a package validating itself when i open it in visual Studio ?
I still want it to validate when i run, but not when i open it to view as its sooooooooooo slow....
any help is much appreciated?

I'd appreciate if someone can help me with this. Do I need to change some settings? Also, what does the number in brackets indicate, say in FlatFileConnection(122)? Is it valuable information while debugging?
Just to give an idea, my package is like this -
source FlatFile -> Derived Column -> Lookup1 ->Lookup2 ->OLE DB destination(SQL server DB table)
Lookup1 and Lookup2 have error redirected to one flat file destination each.
Thanks in advance!

I have an SSIS package which calls two other SSIS packages as part of it's control flow (using the Execute Package task). Both packages are stored in the same parent folder on the same server. The first child package runs successfully, the second does not. It ran fine for days until yesterday. Not sure what I might have done. I have tried to delay validation and recreate the connection. No go. Has anyone else run into this. I am running SQL 2005 RTM and VS 2005 RTM on XP Pro SP2. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I have an XML file and it's XSD file, when I use an other tool (Stylus studio) the XML file is valide and weelformed. But in SSIS using XML task using the same XSD and XML I get a "False", so the XMl file is not valide.
Have you an idea obout this
thank you in advance
I have a package set up basically with two consecutive data flows. The first flow takes data from an OLE DB Source and stores it into a Flat File Destination. The second flow uses this same flat file as a source, alters the data, and stores the data in the same flat file, overwriting the old file. I set DelayValidation to True on the flat file. Still, here are the error messages I am receiving:
Error: 0xC020200E at DO, Flat File Destination [7676]: Cannot open the datafile "C:Temp.txt".
Error: 0xC004701A at DO, DTS.Pipeline: component "Flat File Destination" (7676) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
I am new to SSIS, so I'm sure I have a setting wrong or something. Is the problem that SSIS is trying to write to a file from which it is simultaneously reading data?
Thank you.
Hey, I've a few jobs which call SSIS packages. If I run the SSIS package, it runs fine but if I try to run the job which calls this package, it fails. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? None of my jobs that call an SSIS package work. All of them fail.
Thank you

I have an SSIS package that imports data from a text file into Sql Server.
Step 1: create a temp table
Step 2: Data Flow - import data into temp table
When I run the package, validation fails because the temp table doesn't exist. However, if I create the temp table manually in management studio ahead of time, validation passes and the package executes fine.
How can I set up the package without having to manually create the temp table ahead of time?
Hi,
I recently received a new laptop at work with windows vista on it. Having BIDS 2005 installed I wanted to modify an existing package (stored on our network) that I developed months ago. But I can't execute this package on that machine as I get this error:
[Connection manager "MyConnectionManager"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. [Log provider "SSIS log provider for SQL Server"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "MyConnectionManager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
I really don't understand this because the connection manager works ok. Plus I use package configurations with settings stored on a SQL Server 2005.
Also, the same package works fine on the older machine.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance

I have an SSIS package that has been running successfully nightly in a SQL Agent job (SQL2005 SP2). Last night the package failed due to Connection "xyz" failed validation. "xyz" is only one of numerous connections in that package, but evidently if one connection fails validation at runtime, nothing in the package runs.
Is there some way I can configure the package so that one connection failing to validate at runtime won't cause the whole package to fail, so that the tasks that use other connections will execute?
Thank you,
Holly
Hi,
I have migrated a DTS pakage into SSIS. The DTS package validates a Textfile Source File using an ActiveX Script task.
Could somebody tell me how to validate a FlatFile in SSIS. Based on whether the file exist or if exist then whether its empty or not, I have to execute a database proc.
It'll be very helpful if somebody can assist me in this.
Thanks in advance.
Neetu
In the SP1 update of SSIS there was a call from the SSIS service that would attempt to validate itself against the http://crl.microsoft.com web site. If the SSIS service didn't have access to the internet then it would timeout and not start the service. In our company we have our development systems behind a firewall which only allows for limited internet access due to it being a development system.
Does the installation of SP2 remove this authentication restriction?

Hi,
Please suggest me the approach for handling the below custom validation in SSIS
Source: A Table in the database
Destination: One or More Tables in the database
Transformation:For each record in the source table, I have to do custom validation and redirect to one of the destination tables
Custom validation for each record include
1. Checking a set of fields are not matching with main record data in database - If so move to a duplicatelist table
2. Checking for set of fields have got any new values - If so make an entry in a newvaluesfound table
3. If no new/duplicate found move to success table
Approach 1
An OLEdb Source Task to point the source table
An OLEdb Transformation to call an SP for each record in the source
Concerns
The Transformation is implemented in SP(Custom validation & loading to destination)
Approach 2
An Script task from the control flow items - To call an SP in the database
Concerns
The Source, Transformation, Destination - everything managed in the SP
Suggestions needed
Is there any better approach of handling this type of requirement in SSIS
If I write all the code in SP, I may need to use cursors for looping through each record..
Thanks & Regards,
Kalyan
