SSIS Variables In SQL Agent
Feb 25, 2006
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?
Thanks.

From the microsoft technet How to: run a package using a SQL server agent job (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms139805.aspx):
Click the Set Values tab to map properties and variables to values.
Note:
The property path uses this syntax: Package<container name>.<property name>. Depending on the package structure, a container may include other containers, in which case nested containers are separated by a back slash (). For example, PackageMyForeachLoopMySequenceMyExecuteSQLTask.Description.
If this is the syntax for writing the container.property value, how do you write the variables?

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?

Hi there,
This is what I am trying to do :
1) Create a global variable.
2) assign a value to the variable using an SQL Task. (For this all I want to do is assign a maximum value from a column in my table)
3) use the variable in a Data flow task (using SQL to get my source data)
I know this must be very simple but I am new to SSIS and I am struggling to achieve this task.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
I'm trying to use a variable in a OLEDB Command, but i can't do it.
What i want to do is:
Step 1: Count the number of rows of a table (using count rows transofrmation) and save it to a variable 'var1'.
Step2: Insert some rows on this table.
Step 3: Count again the number of rows and save it on another variable 'var2'.
Step 4: Ina OLEDB Command , get the inserted records in step 2 to manipulate them on other tables...
Something like that: select top (@var2 - @var1) * from table order by desc
¿Can i use local or global variables from an OLEDB Command transformation object?

I have a process which connects to a SQL server remotely, runs some code, creates a temporary table with an output. I want to be able to select the results of this table into XML (not a problem), put the results into a variable in SSIS, and put the variable results into a SQL table a different SQL Instance. Doing it this way removes the footprint of needing a normal table on the source SQL Server.

Before in DTS, I used to using ActiveX scripts to setup simple Global Variables that would later be used by the package, let's say a give state or a date.
I'm completely lost how to do the same in SSIS, can someone give me a hand?
I'm not sure what component to use and how to read this variable.

Hello,
I am wondering what is the difference between assigning variables in the following two ways.1.
Dim myVar11 As Variables
Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("LoopCount", myVar11)
myVar11("LoopCount").Value = 32.
Dts.Variables("LoopCount").Value = 3I received this error when processing SSIS Package.
Error: A deadlock was detected while trying to lock variables
"User::LoopCount" for read/write access. A lock cannot be acquired after 16 attempts. The locks timed out.
Your help is appreciated,
-Lawrence

I have a SSIS package that was migrated from DTS 2000. It had a variable that I passed to the DTS package when executing. Now when I try executing the SSIS package with the variable, I get the following error: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "package.variables[user::SnapShotDate].value". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found.
From everything that I can find, I am passing the variable correctly. If I look at the package within BIDS, my variable is listed under the variable window & it is scoped for the package. Any ideas on what I might be missing here? This is my first SSIS package that contains a variable.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!
John

I have a simple task that I would like to manage through a SSIS package but do not know how to accomplish it. I need to perform the following tasks:
1. update a sql server table (ecwcust) and set the ftpstatus column to 'P' when the column's value is 'E'.
update ecwcust set ftpstatus = 'P' where ftpstatus = 'E'
2. declare a variable and set the variable to the number of rows that have a ftpstatus equal to 'P'
declare @newcustomercount int
select @newcustomercount = count(*) from ecwcust where ftpstatus = 'P'
3. if @newcustomercount > 0, copy all of the rows from ecwcust where ftpstatus = 'P' to an excel spreadsheet.
4. send an email to an email recipient with the excel spreadsheet as an attachment.
5. delete the excel spreadsheet.
I do not know how to create the variable @newcustomercount so that I can determine whether or not to create the excel spreadsheet and copy the records to it.
I have read all the online help and stuff that MS has but I can't understand the instructions. Please point me to some instructions that are understandable.

Hi there,
I have a script which grabs data from a source server. The problem is I have over 50 source servers, so I have to make a script for each one.. EXACTLY the same code but different linked server address.
So I was wondering if i can put the server name into a variable so I only need to make one script.
Is that possible?
thanks,

Greetings my SQL friends,
I have a very simple package which consists of a SQL Task component and a Script Task.
The SQL Task retrieves a single value from 1 row table in one of my database and assigns that value to a variable. The Script task simply outputs the value of the variable in to a message box. I know, it's all simple stuff (I am trying to master SSIS )
The problem I have is that when I change the value of the column in my table, the value of the variable is not changing when I re-run my package. It seems to be the same value every time.
What am I doing wrong?!
Your help would be much appreciated.

in my package, I have serveral data flow sources using a same date value. the date value is different everytime the package is executed. (e.g. the date is two weeks before the execution date) I want to create something in my package which can dynamically calculate the datetime and pass it to all the data flow sources.
I thought variable is a good choice. but i don't know how to make the value dynamic.
anyone please help.
thanks

Hi all of you,
I don't think that such thing is possible but either way, I ask, just in case...
We're doing lots of packages which must have the same variables (in terms of datatype, name, etc..)
TIA for that,

I have defined an active X task (converting from SQL 2000)
Function Main()
DTSGLOBALVARIABLES("TEST").Value= InputBox("TEST : ","Message Box")
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
The problem is that this variable is not recognized by the subsequent tasks although I have defined a variable "TEST" in the variable lists.
Is there something else to do to get it recognized ?
Thanks for helping,
Pierre

Phil writes "Hi,
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?
Thanks,

I have this procedure to remove certain characters from file names.
The SQL Task has this: exec dbo.spCleanseFileName @strFileName = ?, @strFileNameCleansed = ?
The stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spCleanseFileName](@strFileName varchar(40),@strFileNameCleansed varchar(40) output)
I have it in an SSIS package and my problem is that, after that SQL Task completes, the value for the
),@strFileNameCleansed variable is blank. I HAVE confirmed that the procedure DOES set the correct value inside the SP.

I have an SSIS package which uses variables and foreach loop containers so connect to multiple instances to retrieve config data. I am adding an extra step to include the port of each instance.
I used a select from a central table to get the connection strings, which is put into [User::Server2]
1) execute SQL task to collect the port
(DECLARE @portNumber NVARCHAR(10)
EXEC xp_instance_regread
@rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
@key =
'SoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLServerSuperSocketNetLibTcpIpAll',
@value_name = 'TcpPort',
@value = @portNumber OUTPUT
)
Which is then put into a variable @Portnumber
2) I then need to insert this into a certain server with a where clause including another variable
so something like
"INSERT INTO DBO.InstanceConfig VALUES ('"+@[User::Portnumber]+"') where Serverinstance = ('"+@[User::Server2]+"')
but it doesnt work like that.. is there an easier way

I'm trying to understand how to use SSIS variables within SQL commands and which Data Flow toolbox objects I can use for this. My simple package has a OLE DB Source object that returns the rows in a table. For the next operation, the output from the OLE DB Source is input into a Lookup data flow transformation where there is a select query that returns another value from a different table...
select bla from myTable where dbname = db_name()
The output is then passed on to an OLE DB Destination.
The above lookup query only works because, it so happens, that I could get a unique and correct result back filtered by current database name. However, due to other required changes, I now have introduce more 'where clauses'. I have all the necessary clause information in SSIS variables (iterated via a For Each loop). I would like do something like...
select bla from myTable where dbname = ? and bla_type = ?
However, there isn't a facility for Parameters in the Lookup object's 'use results of a SQL query'. I can see that I can use parameters in the OLE DB Source object by changing the 'data access mode' to SQL Query. However, it doesn't seem valid to join two OLE DB Source objects together in the data flow? I can't see any other suitable objects in the Data Flow toolbox. Ideally, I would be able to use Parameters in the Lookup object or some other object that would do the same job.
Thanks,
Clive

This is a fun one. I have a job that runs a SSIS package. It has some variables that I set a runtime. How can I programmatically change the values for these variables using SMO? I can get to the step in the job using VB but I can't find a way to programmatically change the value of the parameters of the job. The code loops through every property of the SSIS step. There's a command string but that's an ugly beast to code against. Any help is appreciated.
With oStep
Console.Write("Name: " + .Name + vbTab)
Console.Write("Proxy Account: " + .ProxyName + vbTab)
Console.Write("Type: " + .SubSystem.ToString + vbTab)
Console.WriteLine("Urn to point to job: " + .Urn.ToString)
iProp = .Properties.GetEnumerator
While iProp.MoveNext
Console.WriteLine("Property Name/Value: " + Convert.ToString(iProp.Current))
End While
End With

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but i'm having an issue where SSIS Variables window will not come up. The most i get is a gray bar that looks like it is supposed to hold the variables.
I've tried getting it to show by:
1) Menu --> SSIS --> Variables
2) Right Click --> Variables
3) Menu --> View --> Other Windows --> Variables
The same thing seems to happen for "log events" in Menu --> View --> Other Windows --> Log Events.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is anyone else having this problem?!?!?!

I have a bunch of variables which I need to initialize from Parameters table in SQL Server database.
I could think of the following two ways
1) Have one SQL Task for each variable and assign a query such as - Select ParamValue from Parameters where ParamChar = '<KeyName>'
2) Have a script task and write VB code to connect to the database and fire one query for every variable and set it accordingly.
I am not totally convinced with both of these approaches. Is there any better approach than these...
Thanks,

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
So I need a cookbook with nice clear explanations
Does one exist?
Thanks

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.
How can I resolve this?

I'm trying this code in a script task inside a foreach loop that gets a file in a foreach file enumerator and maps it to a variable FileName.
In the script task I'm setting the ReadOnlyVariables to @[User::FileName]
: Imports System.IO Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Math Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main() Dim fname As String = CType(Dts.Variables("FileName").Value, String) File.Move(fname, fname + ".processed") Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success End Sub
End Class
But now getting this error:
Error: Failed to lock variable "\xxxxDataf1.csv" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".
As you can see the variable does appear to be resolving.
