SSIS - Process Task Exit Code 4 - Via SQL Agent Scheduled Job Only - Works If Manually Started....
Oct 10, 2007
We have a Process Task component setup in a couple SSIS jobs to call a command batch file to support transfering a file via Secure FTP to other servers and the process works fine if we start the SQL Agent job manually, however when the job is started via the scheduler, it fails with an exit code of 4. Even though there is a proxy setup on the agent job, is there a different user account being invoked by the scheduler??? We're on 2005 SP1 Hotfix 1 (2153). Thanks
Some more info...have found that if we leave a login session open on the server (login is the proxy account) the process works. It appears the issue is associated with a need to render/create a command window for the command line/batch process to run in and without an active windows session it fails....would seem to be that a product setup to run on a server in a batch mode would be able to work without this...is this the case? if so, how? Thanks.

Dear list
Im designing a package that uses Microsofts preplog.exe to prepare web log files to be imported into SQL Server
What Im trying to do is convert this cmd that works into an execute process task
D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad>preplog ex.log > out.log
the above dos cmd works 100%
However when I use the Execute Process Task I get this error
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe" "" at "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad", The process exit code was "-1" while the expected was "0".
There are two package varaibles
User::gsPreplogInput = ex.log
User::gsPreplogOutput = out.log
Here are the task properties
RequireFullFileName = True
Executable = D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe
Arguments =
WorkingDirectory = D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad
StandardInputVariable = User::gsPreplogInput
StandardOutputVariable = User::gsPreplogOutput
StandardErrorVariable =
FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue = True
SuccessValue = 0
TimeOut = 0
thanks in advance

How do I use the execute process task? I am trying to unzip the file using the freeware PZUnzip.exe and I tried to place the entire command in a batch file and specified the working directory as the location of the batch file, but the task fails with the error:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeeklyUnzip.bat" "" at "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeekly", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Task failed: Unzip download file
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" finished: Success.
Then I tried to specify the exe directly in the Executable property and the agruments as the location of the zip file and the directory to unzip the files in, but this time it fails with the following message:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
Task failed: Unzip download file
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" finished: Success.
The command in the batch file when run from the command line works perfectly and unzips the file, so there is absolutely no problem with the command, I believe it is just the set up of the variables on the execute process task editor under Process. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Monisha

I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
WorkingDirectory : C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM
Executable : C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIcustomer.bat
The customer.bat file will have the following code:
tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1"
the .sql file will be generated at: C:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1.
The Problem:
The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIpackage_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
Can anyone help ?

We have a vendor who has an SSIS package that executes a DTS package. We've asked that they migrate the DTS code completely to SSIS, but that is something that will not be done in the near future. The package is scheduled to run every 5 minutes through a SQL Server scheduled job. 95% of the time the package executes without an error, but occassionally the following error is reported.
Date 10/2/2007 7:35:00 AM
Log Job History (Pyxis - Data Load)

Job Name Pyxis - Data Load
Step Name Run SSIS Package

Operator Emailed
Operator Net sent
Operator Paged
Retries Attempted 0
Message
Executed as user: Domain_NameSQLService. The return value was unknown. The process exit code was -1073741819. The step failed.
When I look at the DTS and SSIS package logs no errors are reported and each log indicates the package completed successfully.
Any ideas what this exit code is indicating or how to further troubleshoot the problem?
Thanks, Dave

Hi,
I have created a SSIS package and tested it in V.Stdio where it runs fine and uploads file on the remote server.
Now I have scheduled it to run as a job in SQL SERVER AGENT as JOB, but it fails when it comes to the upload task?
I am quite sure as it is something with FTP connection string or security, but can't figure it out.
I have simply added the IP/login/password in the connection manager for upload task.
Any help/ guidance would be great.
Thanks,

I have changed a SSIS package last week. Now, I met the problem that the package sometimes failed both in SQL agent and the BIDs.
SQL agent just give the detail: Process Exit Code -1073741819. The step failed.
In BIDs,when I Check the log,there is even no error. But the last Infomation in the output windows is the package canceled. It just like somebody stop running package manually.
The more strange thing is the package sometimes succeed with running the same data.
Thanks for your help

I wish to have a batch file exit with a return code of 3 if it fails.
In the batch file I have the single command: Exit 3
On SQL Server the Process Exit Code of a successful command is set to 0.

Can someone tell me how i can generate an exit code (Cmdexec). Ive tried running an .exe file in a job but when i do that the job hangs. When i check the history it says the exit code is somewhere in 27000. Now i'm wondering if it is possible for me to generate an exit code if the executable closes.
PS. When i run the file from a batch file it works great

My overnight production job has been running for months. Duration is typically 40 minutes.
Last night it started and without doing anything, it stopped. There was nothing in the SSIS log.
SQLAgent task log reported
The return value was unknown. The process exit code was -10737418.
Usually, I can find something on Google when I enter the error code; not today.
Any ideas?
All suggestions welcomed.

Hello
I'm trying to run a task that executes a script file (cmd). When i run it with in bids with my own users (domain admin) it works. When i start a cmd prompt and try to run the cmd file directly from the network location where it is it works (with my own rights and with the sql server agent user).
Now when i try to run in from smss > agent jobs > job and run job it never completes. Im not getting any error message either it just keeps on running on the step ??? It seems like a rights issue, but the account running the sql server agent is able to execute the cmd file directly from the command prompt.
There are no errors in any error logs anywhere and no error is displayed...
Ps. Im running the job step as a integration service pacgake.

Hi!
I have a small problem , but it's still a problem.
I have a SQL Server Agent job that runs a .cmd file. This CMD is logged to a textfile.
This process is locked, waiting for me to type a password, but I have nowhere to type that pass.
What I want to do is kill the process that i locking the logfile, because since the logfile is locked, the job cannot be started again (and it's a scheduled job).
The jobs status is 'Not Running'.
I have solved the problem by making the cmd write to another logfile, so the schedule will work, but the file is still locked, and I don't want to restart the server since it's a productionserver.
How to I find the process that is initialized from SQL Agent, and kill it?
Thanks!

Hello everybody,
Could anybody tell me how can I stop the executable program which I am using in Arguments field of Execute Process Task Editor window. My SSIS process based on three steps.
1. retrieve the file from FTP location
2. Process the file by using windows 32bit application
3. transfer the processed file back to FTP location
The problem occurs in step 2, it opens the win32 application for processing and it does process BUT after that it won't exit untill I close it manually, so it never reaches to step 3 if I don't close it.
Thanks in advance.
Zee.

If this is a duplicate post I apologise in advance as my search yielded many results about mail alerts but none like this.
The scenario is my SSIS package is scheduled to read data from a remote FoxPro source. If for any reason it fails I have set up an email task to alert internal users and an external helpdesk.
My problem is that if I am running it via Management Studio i.e. SQL Server Agent/Jobs/Start Job and I 'force a failure' by unplugging the network cable it successfully sends an email alert to all recipients (internal and external). If I let the job execute according to the schedule (still with the network cable unplugged) the job fails (as expected) but no email alerts are sent.
I log onto the server with a valid domain user account who has administrative rights to the server as well as dbo rights on the SQL instance. I deploy my package as the domain user and have checked that the domain user is also the 'owner' of the scheduled job.
I suspect it has something to do with ownership or which user is 'truly executing the scheduled job'. Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks in advance, Craig

I've created a SSIS package that calls the access dll and fires off 2003 access reports, saves them as PDF's and emails them off.
Now this works fine when I run it manually, but when I schedule and fire off a job I get a very vague error "exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".
I have copied the access dll to the GAC and .net framework v2.0.50727 but still no luck.
I'm using Bull zip PDF printer and those DLL's are also in the GAC

I am using SQL 2005. I have created a SSIS package that basically executes another SSIS package (as part of a larger package) . It runs fine in SSBIDS but will not run if I save it and schedule it using SQL Agent. I should mention I am using a domain/admin account with SQL Agent, so I don't think that is the problem.
When I execute the job in SSBIDS, the Execute Package Utility window pops up, at which point I click on the Execute button, the job runs successfully and then I click on the close button.
I suspect it is not running via SQL Agent because of the user intervention required to complete the task (i.e. clicking on execute as described above). Is this correct? If so, is there a way to override the requirement for any user intervention. Or, could it be from something else?
Thanks for any insight.

I have a problem where I have an SSIS package (SQL Server 2005) that won't run properly from SQL Server Agent, but it runs fine when kicked off manually from Integration Services -> Run Package or when run in debug from Visual Studio.
The first step in the package checks for the existance of a file via a script task. The script looks like this...
Code Block
Public Sub Main()
Dim TaskResult As Integer
Dim ImportFile As String = CStr(Dts.Variables("BaseDirectory").Value) + CStr(Dts.Variables("ImportDirectory").Value) + CStr(Dts.Variables("ImportFile").Value)
If Dir(ImportFile) = "" Then
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
Else
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End If
Return
End Sub
This script runs fine and the file is seen as expected when I run the package manually. But as a step in a SQL Server Agent job, it doesn't see the file.
The SQL Server Agent service is set to start up / log on as a Local System Account. I've also tried setting up a credential / proxy (using an account that I know can see and even move / rename the file) to run the job as but that didn't seem to help.
The package is being run from SQL Server (stored in MSDB) and is set to rely on SQL Server for sensitive information, so I don't think that's an issue; other packages are set up like this in terms of sensitive data and run fine.
Any ideas why my script can't "see" the file I'm looking at when it's kicked off by SQL Server agent? I've looked and looked...I can't seem to figure this out. I would really appreciate any help you might be able to offer up.

I have a ssis package that has multiple large lookups without memory restriction. When running the package manually from SSMS on the same server it runs on when running automatically under the job agent, the package errors out when the server memory gets depleted by the loading of the large lookup reference data. One of the messages I get is
"An out-of-memory condition prevented the creation of the buffer object. "
Anyway, the package runs successfully when it runs automatically under the job agent.
I was curious as to why the above happens. Is that a bug or is the run time behavior different under these 2 environments by design.

We are not certain if this has happened due to the SSIS FTP Task, but incidently the Excel file that is being copied from the FTP site using an SSIS FTP Task got corrupted a couple hours after the package was scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job on SQL Server 2005.
I had a SQL Server 2000 DTS package doing the same thing, but it was never an issue then. I was using the FTP Task there along with an Excel Data source in that and has been working for a couple years atleast with never any corruption related issues.
In the SSIS SQL Server 2005 package I am using an FTP Task with an Excel Connection Manager and Excel source and the Excel file got corrupted within a couple hours of the package being scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any inputs will be appreciated.
Just as an fyi, the excel file has a lot of vlookups.
Thanks,
MShah

I have two calls to stored procedures that in an SSIS package fails silently. They are simply not executed in production but works fine in test, nothing happens and the sql server agent reports that everything has gone just fine.
In test they have 1 server with db A and B. No issue here.
In prod they have 2 servers with db A and B. On server 1 sql server agent executes a job that includes an SSIS package that on server 2 runs a couple of sp's. That user is db owner on server 2 db B and yet nothing happens. The sp's are not executed.
If I in prod run the job manually then it works, but not when run with the sql server agent account that as said is even db owner.

Hi
I am having trouble running a package in SQL Agent. The step involves zipping up a number of files using SQL Agent. I know in the error message it states "Access is denied" but I can run the package manually in BIS. Also I have applied a SQL proxy to the step using my own credentials which have rights to the file location, but still no luck.
I get the following error:
Error: 2008-03-10 09:04:02.04 Code: 0xC002F304 Source: Call ZipFiles Batch Execute Process Task Description: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access is denied". End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 09:04:00 Finished: 09:04:02 Elapsed: 1.219 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.,00:00:02,0,0,,,,0
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I have a problem running an SSIS package in a SQL Server job. The package runs fine if I run it from the MSDB location, but if I try to run the job it fails. The job is set to Run as: SQL Agent Service Account. The SQL Service Agent service runs as a domain user SQLExec. I have logged in as this user and run the SSIS package and it runs fine, but if I create a job with only this step it fails. There isn't much information about where there is a problem. Any ideas or ways to troubleshoot this problem would be very much appreciated.

I have an execute process task in SSIS that executes a .Net program.When this is running as a Sql Server Agent job in Sql Server 2005, I have no issues. The operating system of the server is Windows Server 2003 R2.
Now I'm trying to get this working as a Sql Server Agent job in Sql Server 2012. The operating system of the server is Windows Server 2012 R2. And now I have issues.
If I run the SSIS package in Visual Studio debug mode, I have no issues! It's only when I try running the same package from a Sql Server Agent job that there are problems. The .Net program errors out with a System.TypeInitializationException.
I thought this might be an issue running the .Net program as 64 bit so I changed the agent setting to 32 bit. That didn't work. I thought it might be an issue with authorization (since I can run it in debug with me as the user). I put in a class in the program that changes the user through impersonation. That didn't work either.
Since I don't have a full-blown version of Visual Studio on the database server, I haven't been able to capture the error and debug the program to see where it is blowing up.
why something like this would work in Sql Server 2005/Windows 2003 but not in Sql Server 2012/Windows 2012 when run as an agent job? And on top of that, why would it work when I run it manually in debug mode but not when run as an agent job?

HELP! I have been banging my head against a brick wall on this one all this morning AAAAAAGGGHHH!
1. I have an SSIS package that runs a simple SQL script and then updates a few tables by downloading some XML of the web. It runs fine when I kick it off manually under SSMS.
2. I created a SQL Server Agent job to run it every day. This always fails. The error information in the log is useless ("Executed as user: domainuser. The package execution failed. The step failed." - I had already figured that out!). It fails almost straight away, and when I enable logging for the SSIS package, no info is ever logged (text file, windows event log, whatever).
3. Out of desperation I have changed Agent to run under the same domain user account that I created the package with. No use.
My questions:
1. How can I get more detailed logging from SQL Server Agent?
2 Any ideas about why it's failing in the first place.
Many thanks in advance.

I have one SSIS package that fails on occasion. And I can then run this in the job by itself after it fails and it runs fine. Any ideas? Any ideas on what is causing this. It is not every day but about once a week lately but it just happened again today to this is 2nd time in 4 days this has happened. It is always on this same part in the SSIS that it fails when it does fail. 4 times in last 2 weeks.
This step it is on here has a OLE DB - DB2 source and SQL server as destination. It does a couple data conversion, derived columns and then just copies the data from the db2 table to the sql server table.
