I created a scheduled task on SQL server 6.5 which is actually dump system DB.
The problem I have is the scheduled task did not run with no error messsage returned. I have tried to force it run in different schedule modes. Nothing happened. However I can dump system DB through SEM Backup/Restore which runs OK!
Any body has idea why scheduled task does not run ?
Thanks
Hello,
I'm new to SQL so this should be an easy question. All i want to do is create a recuring task. I want to copy data from one SQL server to another. I've created a package to accomplish this and when i execute it manually it works. What doesn't work is scheduling to execute a regular intervals. As a test i set it up to execute every minute every day (This however will change to once a day when i prove it works) and for some reason it never executes. Any ideas? By the way i created the package using the DTS export wizzard.
I need to use FTP task in DTS ( or any other way), but the problem is, the source file name is not constant. It changes every day with a date extension appended to the file name, like PO_2002_6_12_PM.zip. How do I create a task task to grab this file daily as a scheduled task? Any help is appreciated.
thanks.

I think I have a basic question. Can someone tell me
the command I can use to have a stored procedure run
and generate output? This is for SQL 6.5.
I would like to schedule the sp_help_revdatabase
stored procedure to run periodically and output it
to a file. I think this is possible, but I haven't
been able to come up with the syntax...
Thanks for any suggestions!

How do you specifiy a log file for scheduled tasks. I have consistency checks done at night and when it fails, I cannot find out why because no log file is created. I checked for a log file in /MSSQL/LOGS/*.log. The maintenance wizard creates a log file, but how does a regular TSQL scheduled task create a log file?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I've created an SSIS package that retrieves a file from an FTP

I've written an scheduled job for importing an excel file into a sql table.When I try to run the job from Sql server agent , I get the status 'Not running',and in the last run status,it's written 'failed'.I've tested the command before in the query analyzer,and it works.Can someone tell me why isn't this working as a scheduled job?
Thanks in advance!
I have a job that runs a SQL script and creates a flat file. I use an FTP task to send the file to a specific FTP site. The job work beautifully when is is completed in the development environment.
After I build the package and deploy on the SQL server and set it up to run as a job it will not work on the SQL server. The error appears to be in the FTP connection. I get two separate errors:
'Unable to connect to FTP Server using FTP Connection Manager' and
'An Error Occured in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: The Password was not allowed'
I am sure something very simple is wrong.
Any thoughts.

I have SQLServer 7, and have used Enterprise Manager to schedule local packages. The package that I'm trying to do is run a SQL script on a nightly basis. The problem that I'm having is that I need to be able to install the scheduled script customer box using an installer. I have access to execute command line programs in the installer. Do anyone know if you can schedule local packages (using SQL Scripts) from the command line? Or if a 3rd party application can do this. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to use sp_add_job and sp_add_jobschedule, but haven't been able to get them to work.
Thanks

Hi,
On production server, I have two tasks in status "performing completion action" for last couple hours. Ususally these tasks take seconds to finish.
Do you know how can I kill or cancel these tasks? I tried to stop both the jobs couple times but nothing is happening.
There are no locks/blocks on current activity window.
Please give your suggestion.
Thanks.
Thanks, it worked on one server, but not the other. So I'm going to recreate that job again. Do you know where it would keep the results of the dbcc checkdb when running it in a scheduled task?

I have setup a DBCC checkdb scheduled task for Sunday nights at 11:00pm. Monday morning I checked it and the job never started running, nor did it fail. I looked in the error log and found no errors around that time. I set this job up the same way on 6 different servers, 4 ran fine and the other 2 didn't run at all.
So I set it up again to run Monday night and the 2 both ran for over 24 hours (on a 2 Gig DB). I killed it by stopping SQLExecutive. Does anyone know why this would happen and how to get it to work correctly?
Thanks for your help,
Laura
I have a scheduled task that has been running for several weeks now. When I try to stop it from the scheduled task manager, all appears to go well, but the task continues to show under the running tasks tab. Is there any other way to force this task to stop?

I am not sure if this is a correct place to post this question. i am making a simple pay bill system, require people set a schedule that pays bill, then save it into database, when the time come, it auto transfers the money, i am thinking if i can do this in a store procedure. here is the interface:From Account:To Payee:Amount:ScheduleDate: Save the schedule task View scheduled task

I just wonder if it is possible to run a scheduled task from a SQL Server 6.5 Client. Whenever I would try to run a scheduled task from a SQL Server Client a would get the error message that says "The SQLExecutive service is not currently running on server 'POFDS1099'. This prevents task 'ACORS2 FS90 People Pull' from being run", but when I would try to go the server itself, the service is runnning. Can anybody please tell me what could be the possible cause of this or perhaps 6.5 doesn't really support running scheduled task using SQL Server client. Thanks.
By the way, I also have SQL 2000 Client running on my local.
Thanks again,

I searched the forum's threads on this, and while there were many results, none have helped so far.
I am running a DTS package that is an ACtiveX Script Task using VBScript. The script uses CreateObject() to create a FileSystemObject to copy an .MDB before importing the tables into SQL Server. I want to copy it because of Access' notoriety of corrupting, and this much data being pumped out of Access could force me to Compact & Repair. I would rather do that on a copy.
Function Main()
Dim FSO
Set FSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FSO.CopyFile "\<server><Share>Data.mdb", "\<server>C$DataCopyData.mdb"
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
The DTS Package runs when I execute it from Ent. Manager, of course. It fails if scheduled, or course :(
I have set the Owner of the Scheduled Task to my domain account, which is also in the Adminstrators Group on the physical server with the SQL Server installation (Windows 2003 Server). I also did the unnecessary task of adding my domain account specifically to the destination folder, which is also Shared.
My sqlagent.exe service runs as SYSTEM on the server, so the SQLAgent should have no problem copying a file from one folder on the server to another.
The Scheduled Task fails with the common error:
DTSRun: Loading...
DTSRun: Executing...

I checked this MS KB Article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q298725/), but the instructions after opening DCOMcnfg.exe do not follow what is shown in the WMI window on Windows 2003 Server :rolleyes: (i.e. there is no "Default Security" tab to click.)
I am at a loss here. Thanks for your help.
I am looking to create a Stored Procedure that simply runs a Scheduled Task that they knows when the job has completed.
To call the Job I am using:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name='MY_JOB_NAME'
As a next step is there a way to check if the Scheduled Job has completed and keep checking until the job completes via a query?
I have a strange problem that I think deals with security on SQL 2005.I have a scheduled task that runs on a Windows 2000 machine. It callsa vb script which creates a connection to SQL Server.We migrated a database from SQL 2000 to 2005 which is on a differentbox. I changed the connection in the vb script to use the new sqlserver. The original connection to SQL 2000 used the 'sa' accountcoded into the connection string , which we don't want to use on thenew server, so I changed the connection string in the script to usethe below login information.Const strConnection = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;DataSource=SQLServer;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist SecurityInfo=False;Initial Catalog=database;I created a domain user and gave it dbo rights on the new database onSQL 2005 as well as administrative rights on the local machine and thenetwork. The task runs fine for a while and then it will fail tostart. I have looked in the event log as well as the SQL log and havenot found anything else that ran when my task failed. Once it hasfailed, if I manually run the vb script on the 2000 machine, it runsjust fine, but the schedule won't work. If I change the name of theuser that is running the scheduled task, it will begin working again.I have run the profiler on SQL 2005 and watched the scheduled tasklogin as the correct user and update the database. There is nopattern to when the scheduled task will stop running. This has beenhappening for a few days now.This script and scheduled task worked fine for over a year on themachine when it logged into SQL 2000 and nothing else has changed,which makes me think it is related to the SQL 2005 server. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a SSIS package with an FTP task to download a Excel file and populate a table using an excel connection mnager and a SQL Server Destination and it always fails with the following error when scheduled:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (FTP-DM-CRN_ALLOCATION_COMMENTS).
Executed as user: WEB-INTSQLSYSTEM. The package execution failed. The step failed.
The box on which SQL Server is installed is on a workgroup on the domain and the SQL Server is started up by the Local System user on the box.
I am thinking this has to do with windows security based on all the information that I have read on these kind of error messages. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.

Ok, I thought this one would be easy.I have a stored proc: master.dbo.restore_database_fooThis is on database server B.Database server A backs up database foo on a daily basis as a scheduledtask.What I wanted to do was, at the end of the scheduled task is then call thestored proc on B and restore the database.If I go into Query Analyzer and log into database A, then execb.master.dbo.restore_database_foo works.But if I take the same command and make it part of the scheduled task itfails.Error is:OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7399)[SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7312). The step failed.To me this seems like a permissions issue, but nothing I've tried seems tohave helped.Suggestions?----Greg D.

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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe 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.

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.

I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
Try
ds = CType(Dts.Variables("VP_EMAIL_RESULTS_RS").Value, DataSet)
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.

I'm using SSIS in Visual Studio 2012. My Execute SQL Task calls a Stored Procedure where I have a TRY-CATCH. Last week there was a problem and the CATCH was executed and logged an error to my error table, but for some reason the Execute SQL Task didn't fail. Is there a setting to make the Execute SQL Task fail when an SP encounters a failure?

Hi,
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.
I am using SQL 2005 SSIS. I am joining several large tables and then the move result into another table in the same database.
I would like know which method is faster:
Use Execute SQL Task to insert the result set to the target table
Use the Data Flow Task to insert the result set to the target table. (Use OLE DB source to execute SQL command and then use the SQL destination)
Could you tell me why then other is slower?
Thanks.

In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
