SSIS Package Designing And Execution In BIDS Is Very Slow
Feb 9, 2007
Hi,
I have created a package that has
2 SQL Execute Task, One Loop container, 2 Data Flow tasks, 1 Foreach loop container, 1 ftp task. The data flow tasks has 1 oledb source, 1 flat file source, 1 row count transformation, 1 recordset destination and 1 oledb destination.
When I load the package into BIDS it takes 125 MB of memory and then everything is slow, the properties panel slides in slowly and exists slowly. The object is the packages are not painted properly. to make changes and run takes lot of time.
Am I doing anything wrong here? Why is it consuming so much of memory?
I have got a set of queries to run on a table stored in my SQL Database and this query creates a new table which I export to excel for final results. NOw I need to design an SSIS package for this query to run and to export the result in excel sheet. I started with the control flow by adding the TSQL statements to it and then in the data flow I connected it with my database. But when I execute it, it always gives me an error. I have just started learning SSIS but have not been able to figure it our properly.
We have been working with SSIS for a while and we have not found a solution or a reason for this. We have a master package that calls 10 packages in sequential order. (as shown below). If we execute each one of the package separately the run in less than 2 minutes, but when we call them through the master package the execution time start increasing as follows: Child 1 (2 min), Child 2 (3 min),, Child 3 (4 min), Child 4 (6 min), Child 1 (7 min), and so on. The execute package task has the ExecutionOutOfProcess = false (when we set it equal to True even takes longer to execute, it was creating a dtsHost.exe process for each child and always remain in memory after the package finished executing). Can someone please provide a solution or a workaround for this? Any help would be appreciated. Any help will be appreciated.
I have a parent package which executes 14 child packages in parallel, which on average take ~10 seconds each to complete when I execute the parent packege using BIDS or DTEXEC.
However, if I run the parent package using SQL Management Studio (Integration Services > Stored Packages > MSDB > Right Click > Run Package) each package takes in excess of 10 minutes to run, getting progressively slower as each package starts.
Surely the package is executing in exactly the same way as BIDS/DTEXEC, just a differenct UI?
FROM [db_db].[dbo].[TEST] TC join [NEW_DB].[dbo].[Users]users on users.FirstName=TC.Username join [New_DB]..[Method_Master] Mstr on Mstr.Description=TC.Method join [New_DB]..[TestSource] TS on TS.Name = TC.TestName
basically there is a join between three tables to repalce all the varchars to the corresponding ID.
Please guide me in how should I go about in designing my SSIS package to achieve this requirement.
I'm working on a fairly straight forward data transfer package and have found that the package runs dramatically faster when I run the package inside BIDS than with DTExec. When I run the package on the server using debug in BIDS, the job completes 1 million rows in around 6 minutes. When I run DTExec with the same package on the same server it is much slower and the package takes roughly 25 minutes to complete.
I know this sounds crazy and that it's supposed to be the other way around with DTExec running much faster, but I'm stumped as to what could be causing the issue. The machine this is running on is a two processor, dual core CPU with GB of RAM and I'm using terminal server to login and create the package with BIDS on SQL Server 2005 SP2.
The main feature of this package is a Foreach container that uses an ADO record set to loop over a set of values from a control table. There are a large number of iterations so the package loops frequently, but the data flow task is fairly simple and uses an OLEDB source and OLEDB destination to transfer data between two SQL Server 2005 databases.
The package works in either BIDS and DTExec, but I'm really puzzled why it would run so much faster inside BIDS?
I have developed a simple SSIS Package that will export data from an AS400 iSeries server to a flat file. When I try to debug the package I receive this error. I have tried to change the security level of the package to EncryptAllWithPassword and specified a password. For some reason the password for the connection to the AS400 is not being retained. when I enter the password the following error disappears when I try to debug the package the error returns. Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks in advance for your help.
Things to also know:
I am using a Native OLE DBIBM AS400 OLE DB Provider w/user name and password (Allow saving password checked) Test Connection succeeded.
I am using a OLE DB Source to extract the data with Data Access Mode of Table or View. When I try to select a table I am prompted from the AS400 to enter password. Then I can see the tables.
I can select the columns I need and click OK to save.

I have a SSIS package that contains a DTS 2000 package in it. The DTS 2000 package imports data into several tables from an ODBC data source. When I execute the package through BIDS, no problems. Everything works great. I am now trying to execute the SSIS package in my stored procedure & it gives me the following error: Error: 2007-01-30 11:54:24.06 Code: 0x00000000 Source: Populate IncrTables Description: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040427): Execution was canceled by user. at DTS.PackageClass.Execute() at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.Exec80PackageTask.Exec80PackageTask.ExecuteThread() End Error
I did a search for this & found KB 904796. It had the exact error message but I don't believe my packages uses 2000 metadata services. Just to be safe, I reinstalled the backward compatibility features & the DTS 2000 tools on the server. That still did not fix anything. I found another forum that suggested loading the DTS 2000 package internally, which I did & it did not fix anything. I am using a password for the protection level so that is not causing my issue. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what I might be able to try?

I have an SSIS package with around 25 lookups. Developing the package itself was slow. Now, everytime I try to load the package it takes forever and whenever I execute it I get an error.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way I can optimize the package? 2. Is it abnormal to have so many lookups? I am loading a dimension table with many fields and I need to look up on 25 tables to get the keys. I know one alternative is to use left joins in the source query and get the keys in the Source itself but we can have more visibility of what's happenning with Lookups. I would like to know other possibilities with lookups.
Scenarion: 1.- SSIS Package execute tasks on 2000 SQL Server Database 2.- Execution takes places using Business Intelligence Studio Question: 1.- How can I tracked that SQl 2000 tasks took place using a SSIS Package?
Which is the best way to execute SSIS packages? I have no problem to use dtexec command but I want it to run every night. Is this going to be done through the SQL Server (SQL Server Agent under Jobs)? Is the type going to be Operating System (CmdExec) or Transact Sql? How exactly is the command written there?
Hi all, I am Hazara. I am trying to call a SSIS package from a web service. But package.execute() method is returning 'failure'. Though I am able to execute the same package from a normal .Net project and it is working fine (using the same code that i have used in web service).
I have also tried to execute it through stored procedure for which firstly I created a .dll in c#(which is perfectly working) and then I registered this .dll in sqlserver-2005 using following command.
CREATE ASSEMBLY asmPackageExecuter FROM 'C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727PackageExecuter.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE GO Now on calling the method of .dll (which is responsible to execute the package) I am getting the DTSExecResult as 'success' but data is not getting transfered from one able to other as was expected from the package.
Please help me. I have searched it everywhere on net but didn't get any solution. I want to execute package only through web-service or stored-procedure
I need help from you. I am working on SSIS packages for ETL purpose. The version of SQL Server i am using is SQL Server 2005.
In Brief , the working of current ETL is as follows.
In ODS database i have 2 tables i.e Table_A & Table_B which gets loaded from another 2 staging tables A & B. And using this 2 tables data will be loaded into a target table i.e Trg_A.
The ETL packages are executed by stored procedures by creating a job within the stored procedure.
The loading of the trg table is little tricky. Before that loading of Table_A is implemented in a single SSIS package. and loading of Table_B is been implemented in another SSIS package.
In the trg table there are two columns which will be getting updated as and when each table is loaded. so for the first time if i run the package which is resposible for loading Table_A, it loads values into Table_A and once done it will updates (col1) in the target table.
Once after the complete of the execution of Package1. Now i will kick off the second ssis package which loads the data into Table_B and updates the trg table's columns (col2).
Now the actual problem what i am facing is:
For loading Table_A and updating the col1 in Trg table i will be receving more than 5 excel file every month on weekly basis. I cannot even gather all the files and run using a For-Loop counter. So presently i am loading data excel file per week .
Similarly loading of table_B.
For a week if i am executing both the packages which loads the Table_A and updates the Trg(col1) and Table_B and updates Trg(col2), then i am getting a Deadlock Error and the entire ETL is getting messed up.
Now my requirement is , Eventhough the 2 packages are run in parallel , there could certain milli seconds time difference while start of the execution in Job Monitor. I need to implement a Queing Mechanism which takes care of running the packages in a sequential manner rather than in parallel. i .e i need to ensure only one SSIS package is running in Job Monitor. Only after successful execution of either one the package, then only the second package should start its execution.
If we can implement such a queing mechanism , then my problem is solvedl.
I need some suggestions on this regard in implementing the Queing mechanism in a programatic approach using SQL Server Job Related MetaData Tables. or else is there in server parameter or initialization parameters which can be set at Database level which suffice my requirement.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Looking for sincere comments on this regards.
This not a problem but here i wan to give u my some trial on package execution from C# code.
i just want to make sure whether this is right way or not?
I need to upload some processed text file into table using SSIS packages. I m calling these packages in runtime for different source text files passed to it.
I first created package on my machine and deployed packages on Sql server using default protection level. So when i m tryng to execute it from integration services it wont work giving some exception in AquireConnectionCall() , its coz all the sensitive information is stroed inside package is not available to that machine.
In C#
Now i m loading this package using LoadFromSqlServer(). I am creating connection manager object for each of source and destination type and then setting all sensitve information from my solution's config file. Set the protection level of package and available connection managers to DontSaveSensitve.
by using this method m able to execute any package created on any machine with default protection level.
Can any one of tell me -ve aspects of this approach?
I am wondering something, once we've created a job that executes a package at a given time interval, does that package get recompiled each time the job spins up and executes the package? Or is the package compiled once and then that compiled code is executed each run after the first run?
What I'm seein is this; I have a package that reads data from flat text files and then dumps that data into the database. The package will take 3 minutes to execute when executing on a single file, but when it's looping through ~50 files, it will take ~30 minutes to execute, that is less than a minute per file. Why is this?
Hopefully I'm just forgetting something and not setting a checkbox or radio button somewhere. The job is set up as an SSIS job, not as a command line job.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I am currently experiencing a 30 second delay when starting an SSIS package from a query window or stored procedure in SQL 2005 Management Studio, using xp_cmdshell and dtexec.
When I run the package in BI Dev the execution results state an elapsed time of 4.82 sec, at a command prompt using dtexec the elapsed time is 3.48 sec, from MStudio the elapsed time is 33.86 sec, this test was run using the same configuration and databases. For the MStudio run, if I look at the DTS log file I€™m creating or the PC Application log, it states the package doesn't actually start until 31 sec after the execute button is pressed. I€™ve tried executing the package as both a SQL package and a file package without any difference in elapsed times. I have also set DelayValidation = True for every Task, ConnectionManager and the package itself.
When I look at the package log one difference I see is that the Management Studio executes using €˜NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM€™, BI Dev and the cmd prompt use the local user €˜[Server]Administrator€™, which in this case is the administrator. From this I have to believe it is some kind of user rights problem. I think SQL or the OS is waiting for something and after it times out at 30 sec, it allows the package to run. If this is the case I€™m not sure what it might be or how to find it.
I also tried making an xp_cmdshell_proxy_account with admin rights but this didn€™t seem to work either. I€™ve included the query code below. Any ideas, help or solutions are greatly appreciated.
While executing the SSIS package from visial studio it is running. If we execute from Integration services - - -> stored packages - - - -> msdb - - - -package name, the package gets executed.
But when scheduled through jobs it gives the following error in history
"Execution as user. <user name > The command line parameters are invalid. the step failed"
Hi, I have a SSIS package runnig trough my sql server 2005 schedule job every one hr. it is a simple package to pull some data from a table and transfer this data into a text file. it was runnign smoothly since long time, but today its not executing through my job and giving me the following error.

If i try to execute the same package trough business development studio its working f9. anyone have any idea whats the problem is? masroor
I have a question - is it possible to visualize an execution of the SSIS package when it is being run from SQL Agent? "Visualize" means to show a data-flow "live" - similair to the visualization provided by BI Dev.Studio when you run a package there, with coloured boxes, blinking etc.
I searched the Web but found nothing - neither MS-related nor utilities from third parties. Is it possible in any way?
Thanks in advance,
Andrey.
P.S. Parsing log-files is an option, but we would like to try first something less "painfull" and more universal...
I have two packages which is having parent child relationship.
Package1 is calling Package2, Package2 will download the input files from remote server using COZYROC SFTP Task. then Package1 will execute.
It is working fine in BIDS and SQL Agent job in "DEV" Server. But it is not wroking when i deployed the packages and it's config files and then created a SQL Agent JOB to "QA" Server.

I currently need help on an issue I can't find the solution.
I developed a package and I when I run it from the Integration Service directly it runs and ends correctly, deletes/creates tables on the db on the server the package is running and copy the data from the other db.
I want to specify that I use two db in different domain as source and destination.
When I schedule it using the Sql scheduler it fail reporting the following error:
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "DBname" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Can anyone of you give me a clue about the issue I have?
We have noticed in our environment slowness when starting SSIS packages from SQL Server jobs. I did a quite detailed study on when the slowness actually occurs and what are the consequences. Here are the results.
The SSIS package execution is slow if all the following is true:
The package is started from a job. If started directly as a SSIS package, the execution is fast. The job is running on a 64 bit Windows Server (SQL Server 2005 SP2). The SSIS package and the job are either on the same server or on different servers (the second server is SQL Server 2005 SP1). If the job is run on a 32-bit workstation (Windows XP SP2) the execution is fast (the SSIS package still being on the server). The package contains tasks. § If there are no tasks, just an empty sequence container, the execution is fast. § If a package that has no tasks has logging into the database configured, the execution is fast. § Slowness has been verified with A) a package having a single Execute SQL statement and B) a package having a Send Mail task.
It doesn't seem to matter which user account is used on when running the job.
The slowness happens in several locations, e.g. (there are also others, at least the following have been verified)
There is exactly 30 seconds lag between starting the job (as seen from job history) and when PreValidate (as seen in the sysdtslog90 table) of the package appears in the log. The validation of the package takes 15 seconds (the time difference in the log betwen PreValidate and PackageStart) The problem is really affecting our production environment. Currently the only solution we have come up is to put all the jobs on a workstation and use the workstation as a production server for the jobs.
I haven't heard anyone else having the same problem.
I am using SSIS packages for data transfer, When i run the package on virtual server it takes more time as when run on a PC. After analysing i found that Package when run on Virtual server takes time in startup around (50 sec) or so.Could anyone help me with a little bit of detail description as to why it runs slow.
Hello friends! I have one query regarding execution of SSIS package through Stored Procedure.
I have created SSIS package which extract data from database and put that into various text files.Here I am using two global variables one is for Department ID and another is path where I wanna to place my text files as per departments.When I ran it through command prompt it works fine but now I want that dtsx package to run from stored procedure with same input parameters

And also I am not understand where i should pass my two input parameters which I used in SSIS package variables???????
I am using SSIS packages for transfering data from a legacy SQL server to a new one. The database has around 700 Tables. Out of which, data from 20 tables need to be transfered. I have created 20 data flows for that. The SSIS package is executed using a utility program that i've written using c#. I capture all the events and use them for some post processing. I look at the status of each of the data flows (whether failed, complete, etc.. ) and take decisions appropriately.
There should be a provision built-into(my utility) the application that allows users to suspend the execution of the package and restart it later.. I cannot use the package's suspend function here as suspend functionality in my case means that the user could even reboot the comp. He may then restart the execution of the package from the last logical point. My initially thinking was, that i would (somehow) store the number of records transfered to the target for a dataflow and later when the user restarts the execution, i would change the SQL query in the dataflow to start from the records > than the one i've saved. But how do i get the row number?? T-SQL supports row_number() but it seems that it cant be used with the WHERE clause. Does anyone know how to deal with this problem ??
Is it possible to save the current execution state of a package in file and restart it at a later point (even after reboot)?
If I set the for loop to loop just once, the package is executed fine. Any more than once and only one instance of the package is executed.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I know it is possible to execute the two package instances simultaneously because you can use DTexecUI.exe on two clients to do this.
I have a dts package migrated from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005 clustered server using migration wizard without any problem.
I have created a new job on sql server 2005 and one of the steps involves executing the SSIS package. It keeps failing with the error message "package execution failed". I have logged in here as a domain administrator (as also a local administrator).
When I veiw the exexcution/progress results for a package they show in order of the name of the task, is there anyway to see this tree view in order of the execution?
