Hello! I have an SSIS package that basically collects Excel files from an FTP server, deposits them to a file share on a SQL server and then processes each Excel file into a SQL 2005 database using the ForEach enumerator.
The package runs flawlessly when executed directly on the SQL server. The problem starts when I set this package to run via the SQL Agent. I have looked through these forums and other places and have done what this article suggested http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760; changing my package protection to
"Dont Save Sensitive" and setup the package to store its configuration in a SQL table. Despite all this I still continue to get this error when the package is run via the Agent:
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ExcelSourceFile" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
The Excel files are not password protected, no funky settings, nothing complicated, its just a plain Excel file with a few rows of data on one worksheet. The package transfers the files from the FTP server to the share on the SQL server with no problem, I can see that the files exist on the share, so it isnt a case of the Excel connection manager not finding any files to process.
The Agent account is running under administrator privileges and has full access to the share, so it shouldnt be a permissions issue either.
I have a SSIS package which reads an excel file and loads data into a table using script component(C#) as a source. The package runs without any errors when I manually run it on my machine and on the server. But the package fails when run as a SQL Server Agent job.
I tried all the possible fixes I found on the web but still can't get it to work.
I have an SSIS package (TransAgentMaster) that I recently modified to include a call to a child package via the file system. The child package creates a text file. When I run the package in dev studio then the child package/text file is produced.
I then imported the TransAgentMaster as a stored packagesfilesystem package into SQL SSIS and executed the package. The child package produced the text file.
I then ran the SQL Server Agent to see if the child package would work and it did not generate the text file. Thus after updating a SSIS package importing the package into SSIS the job that calls the package will not call the child package. Please not that the TransAgentMaster package calls 7 children packages €¦ just not my new one.
Any thoughts why the agent will not run the child newly crated childe package?
We're trying to set a new standard at my office, of using GUIDs as database ID fields - all new tables in all databases will have a GUID as the ID field, using the UniqueIdentifier data type.
The problem that we are running into, is that different applications interpret the UniqueIdentifier data type differently - ADO 2.x interprets it with the opening and closing { } braces. ADO.NET does not include the { and } in the GUID structure, SQL Server Query Analyzer does not include the { } braces, and SQL Server Enterprise Manage does include the { }
The problem with this is in two parts: 1) VB6 does not have a GUID structure or data type, so we are treating GUIDs as strings... but VB6 doesn't recognize "{012345678-abcd-ef01-2345-6789abcd}" and "012345678-abcd-ef01-2345-6789abcd" as the same string 2) when sending a URL link through an email, the { } braces break the link - in all email applications that we have tested. This include Groupwise 6, Groupwise 6.5, IPSwitch Web IMail, Outlook 2000, and Outlook Express (IE 6).
We're becoming very frustrated with the problems at hand, and need to know how others have worked around these problems. Please respond with any kind of advice or any real life situations where you have encountered this and found a solution, etc.
I am executing an update query in access as follows.... UPDATE (tPriceSmart INNER JOIN tPriceRaw ON tPriceSmart.IdProd = tPriceRaw.IdProd) INNER JOIN tCusMas ON (tPriceRaw.IdPriceSchd = tCusMas.CM_OVRIDE) AND (tPriceSmart.IdCust = tCusMas.CM_CUSTNO) SET tPriceSmart.AmtOverRide = IIf([DtePrice1]<=CDate(Date()),[AmtPrice1],IIf([DtePrice2]<=CDate(Date()),[AmtPrice2],0)) WHERE (((tPriceRaw.IdPriceType)=8));
Here's my stab at converting this to a stored proc.
UPDATE (tPriceSmart INNER JOIN tPriceRaw ON tPriceSmart.IdProd = tPriceRaw.IdProd) INNER JOIN tCusMas ON (tPriceRaw.IdPriceSchd = tCusMas.CM_OVRIDE) AND (tPriceSmart.IdCust = tCusMas.CM_CUSTNO) SET tPriceSmart.AmtOverRide = SELECT CASE WHEN DtePrice1 <= GetDate() THEN AmtPrice1 ELSE (CASE WHEN (CASE DtePrice2 WHEN '00/00/0000' THEN '1/1/1900' END) <=GetDate() THEN AmtPrice2 ELSE 0 END) END WHERE tPriceRaw.IdPriceType=8
I kknow the Join Statement works becasue it does work in the context of a select. I also know the case logic is working becasue I am using it in an Insert query elsewhere.
Can't quite pull it together though. I am getting an error at Line #1 "(". I gave it a good try though before I resorted to throwing it into the forum. I am sure it is a stupid syntax error. Any help would be appreciated.
Two problems / questions I could do with some help on please......
1). How do you clear a spreadsheet before loading it ? I am sending a spreadsheet by Email on a regual basis. Each time I run my SSIS package the data is appended to that of the previous run. I need just the contents of this data load to populate the spreadsheet each time. I have tried various methods / techniques for achieveing this so I just need to know the accepted method. Sorry if this is very basic ( as it should be ?!) but I seem to be missing the point somewhere.
2). I have tried to resolve issue 1 above by having an empty 'template' spreadsheet and copying that one over the top of the previously populated one. I get an error saying that the source spreadsheet ..'is in use by another processes.' Amusingly, as a test, I can delete it but I cannot copy it !

I have tried many things and even the worst case thing which I was trying to avoid i.e. uninstalled MSDE SP3 and Analysis Services and service packs but the problem is still not solved...
Whenever I open a DTS in design view and double click on the link (the line connecting the two) between the source and destination servers the PC goes to sleep and comes back after a long time and then the same problem occurs when I press on the transformation tab...
I know this may sound weird but that really is the case :o

Hi, I am a new learner and user to SQL Sever 2005 and am having some major frustration trying to write a simple query.
I have two tables, 1) Ticket_Purchase, 2) Flight.
The Ticket_Purchase table has these columns: Ticket_Purchase_Number(PK), Flight_Number(FK), Date_Purchase_Made, Ticket_Price, Class_of_Ticket, Passenger_ID
The Flight table has these columns: Flight_Number(PK), Flight_Date, Flight_Departure_Time, Flight_Arrival_Time, Flight_Origin, Flight_Destination
I am trying to create a query that will tell me: On which flight were the most first class tickets sold?
There are only two types of classes; 'E' for economy and 'F' for First Class.
So far I am able to get a list of all the First class flights for each flight and can visually see which flight has the most first class tickets by counting them manually on the report generated, but I am totally confused on how to simply pull the single flight with the most First class tickets sold. I wonder if this requires something more like a join or a nested sub query?
The SQL I wrote for the above is:
Select Class_of_Ticket, Flight_Number From Ticket_Purchase Where Class_of_Ticket = ('F') Order By Flight_Number;
And it produces:
Class_of_Ticket Flight_Number --------------- ------------- F 1 F 1 F 1 F 2 F 2 F 3 F 3 F 3 F 3 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 4 F 5 F 5 F 6 F 6 F 6 F 7 F 7 F 8 F 8 F 8 F 9 F 9 F 9 F 9 F 9
(38 row(s) affected)
Rather I would like it to produce: First_Class_Seats Purchased Flight_Number --------------------------- ------------ 14 4
I hope I didn't make this to confusing to understand as I am still learning the syntax and 'lingo' of how to communicate this stuff verbally.
Thank you for any help you could offer. It would be much appreciated.
Edit: the query report I pasted from SQL should have the flight number directly under the column header. For some reason the space between Class and Flight_number is being eliminated in the post.
I am creating an SSIS package witha a Dataflow task, which reads from an Excel source and then uses script component to dumpt the data to multiple tables in Sql Server database
I need to some how make my Excel source dynamic, that is my excel template which i would be using to map the excel columns to script component's input columns would be dynamic..
In other words, I should be able to define the Excel Source, Column Mapping Information, Precedence constraint to the Script component dynamically
H... I have a problem to run a package with a scrip task containing the code in this page. I try to create a new excel workbook, change some cells, and save it to the harddrive. When designing the package in BI dev studio, I can execute it without a problem. I can even run it with DTexec.exe. The problem is that when I run this package from the SQL server agent, then it breaks. It breaks on a machine running Windows server 2008 with SQL server 2008 on it and it also breaks on a machine running Vista with sql server 2005, but it runs fine on a windows server 2003 machine with sql server 2005 on it. I can also mention that if I dim out the one line after the comment in the code, then It runs fine on any one of my machines. The problem seems to be with saving or opening an excel file. I am also making use of a proxy with a credential using my login name. I am part of the administrators on these machines.

I have one report (R1) which includes a list of ports ("=Fields!Port_Name.Value")
Another report (R2) supplies details for individual reports and has a parameter named PortDWIDPortName which gets port names from the same dimension as those in R1. So in the field properties of the Port field in R1, I selected Navigation > Jump To Report and entered PortDWIDPortName = Fields!Port_Name.Value (also tried changing .Value to .Key or .UniqueName) but although it jumps to report R2 it does not enter a value for the parameter (ie leaves it blank or displays <Select Value> depending on whether multivalue or not).
Does anyone know the right syntax to pass the parameter ? If not, does anyone know to view what Jump To Parameter is returning so I can figure how to doctor it!
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.
I have a package from SQL Server 2008 R2, that loads data from .xlsx file to database table.There are total 15 columns and 14000 rows in the .xlsx. The package runs fine in BIDS. But the same package in SQL Agent fails with error "omponent "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
When I tried to run the package by deleting the half of the records for first 7000 rows it ran successfully in agent. Then the second half (last 7000 rows) also succeed from agent job. So, there is no issue with the data/datatypes.The agent job is able to run with record upyo 11000 rows in .xlsx. When I am running for 12000 rows it is failing.Is there any problem with the number of records in .xlsx or size through SQL Agent?
I am running the package from a Proxy account in sql agent job.

Hi. I need to import excel file in database. i first need to do an unpivot task. the column names are dates and SSIS seems to be unable to pick up the column name as it is replaced by F2 F3 F4etc Can you advise of a solution. thanks ken
Here is my dilemma. I would like to create an SSIS package that will dynamically run different scripts/reports for my company. I would like to use one SSIS package and then dynamically create the jobs based on the schedule of when these scripts should run. For instance, if I have two scripts that create excel documents that run at 2:00 P.M daily I would like to use the job agent and have both of these scripts start at 2:00 PM. Instead of having one run and then the other has to wait until it's complete. First of all, is this even possible? Second has anybody ever played around with this and if so can you give me some guidance?
Hello all, I have designed a SSIS Package. The process of SSIS package is import the data from Excel sheet daily. The package is working fine. When I run from SQL agent job, it is continuously failing. I have created credentials, proxy and I have mapped it. I am doing this process by remote desktop connection. I red lot of articles, nothing was helped me. I hope I will get a solution over here!!
Is there a detailed, step by step manual that explains how to set this up?
I can run the package from SSIS but the process to set this up from the job agent is really murky mostly from a security standpoint of setting up user/proxy etc
I've seen many postings on various forums on how to get SQL agent to execute an SSIS package. I have one that was originally created via the import wizard in SSMS, later modified in VS2005, and then re-imported in SSMS using the Object Explorer interface to load the dtsx file into SQL storage. I've tried several package protection options when importing the package: "Don't save sensitive data" (the package has no passwords in it), server storage and roles, and a specified package password (which I entered as a /DECRYPT command line parameter in the Agent job step). Agent is running using a domain admin account. No matter what I've tried, I still get an error during job execution that it failed to decrypt the password XML node. The package runs just fine when executed manually in the SSIS Object Explorer.
We are just migrating to sql servr 2005. I have created ssis pkg that runs fine when run mnaulli under BI. However, when I setup the ssis pkg to run as a SQL job. It errors out. Err is listed below.

I need to pass a value to a package level variable in an SSIS package from a SQL Agent job. If I use dtexecui the syntax for passing the variable in the Property Path is
Package.Variables[User::MyVar].Properties[Value]
and the package runs fine.
When I use this syntax, or any similar format I can think of, in SQL Agent, my job fails. In SQL Agent you put this in the Property Path on the Set Values tab of the Step that runs the package. If I remove passing in the variable my package runs fine.
BOL says use the format Package<container name>.<property name> but I can find no examples. Can anyone provide a working sample to make this work?
I'm new here and hope you will be able to help me.
I have created several SSIS packages with Visual Studio 2005. They all work fine in debug mode. I have been able to make them work with a ODBC connection by using a ADO.NET connection.
Then I exported them to the file system in my SQL Server 2005 database and created a task in SQLAgent to run them.
All the packages using the ODBC connection fail with the following error :
Login failed for user XXX Error : 18456; Severity : 14 , State : 8
This error is a password mismatch.
I tried several database users and checked the passwords multiple times.
It looks like SQL Agent is not able to retrieve the password although it is stocked in both the ODBC connection and the SSIS connection.

I'm new to the SQL 2005 SSIS. Can you please help resolve this problem?
I'm using SSIS package to extract text file, and load into SQL Server. I test the SSIS package import manually, it works. Then I'm using SQL Server Agent to set up schedule. According to the log, the job agent work at the scheduled time, yet job agent throw out the error message.
Message1: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sysAdmin. The last step to run was step 1 (Extract Data).
Message2: Executed as user: SQLSERVERsysAdmin. The package could not be loaded. The step failed.
Now I only have 1 step and set up "on success action" then "quite the reporting success". Any clue? Thanks
Okay, I see that dozens of posters have this problem, but none of the threads has a solution: Why does an SSIS package run perfectly fine in VS and in Integration Services, but fail with no details in SQL Agent? Is there another way to have an SSIS package run regularly?
I have been using SSIS for about two months now and one of the main difficulties I have had is migrating Sql Agent SSIS jobs around environments.
Usually, the SSIS fails because of permissions to file systems, data bases, etc, but until now, I have had to discover these almost by guessing because the job history never game me any useful information. Also, from what I see, the SSIS logs have been unreliable, at best.
What I have done lately is creating Operating System (CmdExec) Steps as part of the job (not SSIS steps) and inserting the output of dtexec.exe into the history.
This seems to give me information that has been really hard to get, otherwise.
My question is (I am no DBA or ETL expert), is this the best way of getting the output of the package when debugging migration issues? Why doesn't the SSIS Steps have a similar feature of outputting useful info to the job history?
i just completed local testing of an ssis package that I'd like to schedule for execution thru sql agent nightly. I dont mind trying this for a while without deploying either to a database, but am not sure if this is possible. Should my strategy be to get both to a server first or is there a way to plumb them together and see the pkg kicking off nightly before deployment of either?
