I have several independant DTS packages that I would like to schedule and run as 1 job stream. (sql2000) I can schedule them individually, but I would prefer to have each one be a step of 1 big scheduled job.
Any ideas ?
I have seen lots of messages on scheduling DTS packages, but none have solved my specific problem.
I could manually run my local DTS package, but it wouldn't run when I scheduled it. The problem was with connecting using OLE DB provider. I checked everything: my NT account had all relevant permissions, as did the SQL Server agent account. I tried playing around with the job owner.
In the end, the only thing that worked was if I physically created the local DTS package on the Server rather than sitting at my workstation (still under my NT account though - I even logged on to the server with my NT account). The job then ran fine.
I think it is something to do with NT authentication (as I never got the problem before using NT auth). Can anyone shed any light on it? Is it something to do with the fact that with NT authentication the workstation ID is an advanced property of the OLE DB connection?
Hi,
I have two packages in my SSIS Packages Folder. What I need is to schedule this Packages to run. ( as Package 1 then Package 2 ).
Please do heal me in doing the needful.
Hi all!
I just started a new job, and im a junior programmer, so have no idea about anything yet...
My boss asked me to run a SSIS package weekly. I found out that I can do it throught the SQLServer Agent job task. Am I right? As i'm not sure about it.
Well I configure it, first as a Transact-Sql with the cmdShell, and it gave me an error like I have to start the messenger Service, I cannot do it as i'm not as administrator. Any way to sort this problem out?
Another thing I could do, I guess is configure the job as a SQL Server Integration package, but it doesn't find my package. Should I save it in a special path??
Any help would be great! As I'm really lost in it, and I've been 3 days trying to sort it out, with no luck. My boss is expecting me to do it by tomorrow...
Oh... finally, I guess I should add a Execute sql job task in the SSIS package? I've already done it, but it may be wrong.
I have created and run SSIS packages from my workstation that are successful. When I Build and then Deploy the same package to the server and schedule it, it fails. I am using SQL authentication connecting from a SQL 2000 database to a SQL 2005 database via OLE DB connections.
The following is the exported result of the package...

I'm trying to create a SQL Agent job and schedule that executes an SSIS Package, but when I try to run the job I get the following error:
Executed as user: adApp1. The package could not be loaded.
The App1 user is the Identity used in the Credential for the Proxy which has the SSIS Packages Subsystem.
The package encryption is set EncryptAllWithPassword and that password is included in the Command line with the /DECRYPT option.
The package is stored on the server in the SSIS Package Store and was placed there via the Import package option. Does the method matter?
One thing that I haven't been able to track down is exactly what permissions the domain account adApp1 needs on the server or in SQL Server, if any, in order to run the package. Not sure if that has any affect anyway.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can anyone help me (even by pointing me to a documentation) in order to schedule Packages (from file system source) in SQL Server 2005.
I've configured providers logging, but still the error file doesn't give me any explanation why the error happens:

By the way the package (.dtsx) runs fine in BI Visual Studio)
Thank you very much.
I have migrated several (7) DTS packages to SSIS in a development environment. In this environment these packages all work as designed. I am now in the process of placing the .dtsx files on the production server and scheduling jobs around them.
I am encountering problems in 3 of these 7 packages. I get the following error:
Message
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User <domainuser>. The last step to run was step 1 (Create and Transfer Credentialling Data).
This is not what I would call very informative. I have opened the dtsx files in question in BIDS on the production server and each has the following error reported:
Error loading <name>dtsx; Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PassWord" with error 0x8009000B" Key not valid for use in specified state." You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available.
I have looked at the package setting "Protection Level" and all seven packages have the same setting: EncryptSensisitveWithUserKey
Each of the connections within the packages have been defined to utilize Windows Authentictation. And the jobs are set to run under the SQL Agent Account.
What I find most puzzeling is that each of these packages are defined exactly the same and some work correctly and others do not.
Thanks for taking the time help me with this issue.
Hi,
Is it possible to do an event based scheduling of SSIS packages from SQL Server Agent? Like schedule a package to run when a file is available in a particular folder.
Does anyone have any similar experiences to share?

I come from other ETL tools (Oracle Warehouse Builder, BODI, BODS & DataStage) and i'm having trouble finding the best practice for scheduling a collection of packages to be processed parallel en retry those that fail. I created a staging project which contains all the packages (50) that extract data from 1 source system and grouped the packages into 2 sequence containers to make sure that the 'heavy' packages are started first and together in parallel.
I soon discovered that there is no standard option to have one child package retry on failure. Currently if 1 package fails the whole project is retried.
I explored checkpoints as a solution but that seems a dead end when running packages in parallel.
There seem to be 2 solutions for my issue:
(1) create a loop around every EPT with 3 variables (waittime, retry_counter & succes_flag)
(2) create an event handler to keep a list of ID's that failed and enable/disable EPT's based on that list (there's a lot more to it).
Option 1 seems like a lot of bloatware in what i expected to be standard functionality. I'm still investigating option 2.
How do others handle this kind of scheduling? Is it so different with SSIS that i'm approaching this incorrectly ?
Hi,
I've found this problem that when I change settings in my configuration file it does not automatically apply to all child packages which uses the same configuration file if run from a job in SQL Server Agent. I need to open the package and save it again from BIDS. I use one "load group" package to execute all other packages.
Is there a way from the job configuration to set a setting so the package allways will have the newest configuration?
Regards
Simon
Hi Experts
I am trying to schedule a legacy DTS 2000 package in 64 bit Sql Server 2005.
I cannot use the DTSRun tool on the Command prompt of the Sql 2005. What about dtexec ?Can i run Sql Server 2000 DTS packages from the Command Prompt.
Is DTS 2000 the only way to do that?
Any Advise is greatly appreciated

I have a rather dumb question, it appears that we can have more than 1 package (.dtsx) in a solution. If I have multiple packages within the same solution, how do I invoke them from the main package in the solution? Thanks in Advance.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having serious problems with the IDE for SSIS for projects that contain more than 5 packages. Especially if these packages call each other with a run package task thats configured with a file connection. Especially annoying are the 20+ "Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text.." messages that pop up during loading / validating. For my project with around 30 packages it takes me around 10 minutes to click through all these pop ups in addition to the long loading time.
Anyone got any tips on this specifically or how to improve performance in the IDE in general? As it is now, the product is a REAL pain to work with for large projects.
Greetings SSIS friends,
If I have more than one package within one project, how do I select which package I want to run first?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
How do you delete multiple packages at once ?
We have a folder in SSIS called ETL and there are about 25 SSIS packages in it.
Now we need to update it.
I tried to delete the folder but you get the message that the folder is not empty.
So I renamed the folder to ETL_old and my deployement works fine.
But now I want to get rid of all the old folders. Delete a folder didn't work.
Selecting multiple packages doesn't work.
To delete a single one you select the package, right click and select delete, click yes.
But then I have to do it 25 times. I was unable to set a short cut with the keyboard for that action.
Any ideas ?

Hi Guys and Gals. Thanx in advance for any help or input. I have multiple DTS Packages that run each nite on a Server. The packages import data from SQL Tables on another Server. All of a sudden, the Jobs have started failing. There is nothing in the SQL Logs. The DTS Package Logs (that I save to the Server) specify an unspecified DTS error. Any suggestions? Even better - any suggestions what/where to look to find the cause of these errors? I re-run the Jobs in the morning when I get in and they complete without any problems. If you need more information just let me know. Thanx.

I am trying to execute around 3 SSIS packages using Execute package task by having all the 3 in one SSIS package,
I am getting the below error:
Error: Error 0xC001000A while preparing to load the package.
The specified package could not be loaded from the SQL Server database. .
Can I use Execute package task for this purpose??
Thanks!!
I would like to use one configuration file for multiple SSIS packages. How I want to do this is to save the connection string of my production server with the initial database field excluded and set that per package file. I am able to read in the configuration file into 2 different packages without issue but I cannot see how to extract the connection string into a ODBC Database Connection object in order to set the initial database. Is there some way I am not thinking of to do this, either through the designer or programatically?
Thanks for any help you all can provide! I am so n00b to SSIS.
Is there any way to avoid multiple packages to run concurrently on the same SSIS server ?
I built 3 diffrent packages and i want to be executed in order. The first one is exporting some tables to another database and the other two packages are based on the database built in the first package.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance:)
Hi,
At just the point at which I was going to write some verbose schpeel, I found this, which really does it all for me:

Basically it seems that whilst you can indeed share a config file, it doesn't aggregate sets of say different connection managers, into a superset - you choose to reuse, but it actually overwrites. Any ideas, anyone??

All,
I have several packages that all use the same DTSConfig file to map the OLEDB connections. This works fine in the development environment, however when i run a rebuild with Deployment set to true i get the error
Error 75

The DTSConfig file is included in the project under Misc in the development studio as all developers need to have access to the same config file.
The net result is that the MSI deployment package doesnt get built so we cannot do an automated delivery of the data.
Is there a work round or a setting that i can implement to remove the error?

I have a question regarding Raw Files. I am breaking a large package into more modular components for better processing and debugging.
The process will start with a preparatory dataflow that will create a Raw File(s). This Raw File will then be used as the source in possibly 6 data flows and/or packages.
My question is whether 1 Raw File can be read concurrently by the multiple jobs and how this would affect processing. I'm assuming that this would slow processing.
My other option is to Multicast the writing of the Raw File to 5 other versions of the file. All would be identical except for filename. Obviously this would use more disk space but this is not a concern as we have lots of disk space. Our concern is for speedy processing.
If you have experience with Raw Files, please let me know how you approached this issue. As always, blogs and specific examples are always great!
Thanks in advance.

I have 200+ plus packages that need to be flexible in how they are run. For example, an end user may choose to run packages 1,2,3 and the next end user may choose to run packages 2,3,7, etc. Prior ro running a package, I set an "instance id" inside the group of packages so I can tie them all together in the logfile - I know that packages 1,2,3 were all run as group and that's distinct from packages 2,3,7 that were run in a differnt group.
Initially I embarked on a scenario where I had a queue table that loaded up the packages to be run and then had a little c# app that read the queue, generated the "instance id" and ran all the packages (either thru dtexec.exe or the Microsoft.SqlServer.DTS.Runtime). But now I wonder if using a master package that uses the Execute Package Task is the way to go. My 200+ packages are all independent and run based on a single config file and it seems as though going the parent package route will destroy some of that independence because I'll now be relying on parent package variables.
Any comments or suggestions?
I've read that a single config file can be used across multiple packages, but am unsure if it applies to what I'm trying to achieve. As an example, I have 2 packages, PackageA and PackageB. Each package has a connection manager defined - ManagerA and ManagerB and I want a single package configuration file to contain the connection string for each manager.
I can define the package configuration of PackageA with no problems. I choose XML file, define the filename and add the connection string to the config.
I then open PackageB Package Configuration and point it to the existing config file, IS tells me the file already exists and allows me to choose the option to "Reuse Existing". I then supply a configuration name and the wizard finishes, without letting me expose any properties. At this point, the configuration file still contains config details from PackageA.
If I then choose to Edit the package configuration in PackageB, I get a warning saying the config values in the config file (relating to PackageA) cannot be found, and the wizard continues. The subsequent PackageB properties which I add overwrite the existing PackageA properties.
So it would appear that what I'm trying to do cannot be done, and I need a separate configuration file for each package?
Any ideas much appreciated.
Greg.
Scenario:
130 dtsx packages using 4 matching connections.
3 of those connections are stored in an SSIS Configuration table in an Operational database.
The last connection is in a shared data source and points to the Operational database so the packages can grab the others.
Problem:
It's time for deployment and all of those connections must change to production servers.
The 3 are no issue, just change the ConfiguredValue in the SSIS Configuration table on the production box to point to the other production servers.
However, the fourth one... I had made an assumption that when you changed a shared data source it filtered down throughout all the packages. We all know what assumptions do to you.... So. I need a way to change all 130 connections (and be able to change ALL packages quickly and simply for other projects in the future)
Solution:
It has been suggested that we use another package to run though all of the packages and change the connection with a script task. I can live with this (and more importantly so can our DBS's who have to deploy).
I have one snippet of code to ADD a connection using a variable holding the connection string, but we dont' want to add one, just change an existing one.
Has anyone else done this? Or had a similar problem and way to fix?
We are likely to have many projects in which the connections MUST change at deployment, and the idea of going into every package to make the change is sad at best... We would be more likely to move back to a competitor's product that has a connection repository, than continue with SSIS.

Hi,
I am currently migrating from Oracle to MS SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. Since the new schema being used on the SQL Server is very different, we have created separate packages for each target table.
We have several different sets of data stored as separate Oracle schemas, and I would now like to change to a different schema for the OLE DB Source objects in my packages to use (Table/column names to remain the same). While I can go through all packages and search through the drop-down list to select the table of the same name from other Schema, doing so is an extremely slow process.
Is it possible to use configuration files to set a schema to be used for a number of OLE DB Sources over a number of packages?
At the moment I am doing a find and replace over the .dtsx files, but can't believe I have to resort to this for something that I imagine many people would want to do with SSIS.
Thank you,
The Captain
Hi All,
I am working on a project currently where we have many SSIS packages and we want to minimize the number of config files to be used. What I was thinking was using one master config file which will have Server/Database info which will be used by all the packages. Now the thing is there are multiple packages which are being executed from within a master package and I was wondering if this will be an issue. Is there anything else that I will have to keep in mind? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
