Hi,
Simple question, is there a way to stop a package validating itself when i open it in visual Studio ?
I still want it to validate when i run, but not when i open it to view as its sooooooooooo slow....
any help is much appreciated?

Chris
Under EM's Replication Monitor/Publishers/pub1/publisher1 there is a "Validate Subscriptions" option on the right-click menu. Since I see unexplained Replication Validation activity I think that the "Validate Subscriptions" option is turned on. But there is no "turn-off" button or way to say "stop." Does anyone know how this "feature" works?
Thanks
While Creating a script task in Control Flow, I am getting "Package Validation Error". Here is the complete message:
Error at Validate File and Load Data: The task is configured to pre-compile the script, but binary code is not found. Please visit the IDE in Script Task Editor by clicking Design Script button to cause binary code to be generated.
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
As mentioned in the message, I opened the script IDE and added the code I need. When I close the VSA IDE, package designer displays the same error message.
The worst part of whole story is that if I close the package designer and reopen it, I find that all the code I wrote in the script task has been deleted by the package designer. This is not at all acceptable as I saved the package the and still lost all my work. I did all the coding from scratch for that task.
Please respond if anyone faced similar problem.
Thanks in advance!

PS: If any one from Microsoft is reading this, please see what you guys are coding there. Due to the buggy software you deliver, I am loosing my credibility.<P< P>
There is an execute package task that calls the child package. Both parent and child packages have the same password and the passwork is entered into the execute package task. Both packages reside in the same directory path.
Error: Error 0xC0012050 while loading package file "C:Documents and SettingsuserMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsExecutePackageTestExecutePackageTestExtractandWrite.dtsx". Package failed validation from the ExecutePackage task. The package cannot run.
When ExtractandWrite.dtsx is executed by right-clicking on package, the package executes without any errors.
DelayValidation = True for the Execute Package Task tasks is set and DelayValidation for the connection manager is set to True.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be causing this error?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Hi,
In one of my packages, I have a script component to do a transformation and I am inserting the output to table. Within that script component, if the data does not match my requirement, I have to stop the job. For that, I am using 'componentmetadata.fireError' to raise an error. The problem is, now even when an error is raised, the job completes by loading the remaining records and then aborts. But I want to abort the job as soon it raises an error. How to do this?
Thanks.
I'm trying to stop a DTS package from continuing to run after the result of the following ActiveX script:
Function Main()
If day(date) > 2 and day(date) < 10 and weekday(date) = 2 Then
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
Else
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure
End if
End Function
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello all
I want to cause the package to fail in DataFlow. I wanted use the script component for this purpose.
How I can do it?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a package with For Loop container.
It looks like this:
FOR LOOP (until @IsCurrent < 1) [
[Execute Package Task 1] --> [Execute Package Task 2] --> [Execute SQL Task] --expression--> [Script Task]
]
So, in the [Execute SQL Task], it runs a stored procedure, which returns a 0 or 1 value, which is bound to the variable @IsCurrent. The variable then gets evaluated in the "expression." If @IsCurrent is 0, execution continues to the [Script Task]. That part works fine.
The problem is occurring in the [Script Task] portion. All the Script Task does is "sleep" for 3 minutes. Here is an excerpt of the code:
Dts.Variables("sleepCounter").Value = CInt(Dts.Variables("sleepCounter").Value) + 1
If CInt(Dts.Variables("sleepCounter").Value) = 20 Then
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
Exit Sub
End If
So, as you can see, if "sleepCounter" = 20, it fails the task, which should then fail the package, right??
However, the package keeps running, even after sleepCounter has exceeded 20. The MaximumErrorCount on the For Loop container is set to 20 also. So after 20 failures, this package should fail, but it isn't!
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hy everybody,
I just one question : How can I disable the package validation when I open it ?
When I collect the packages from the production environment, I open them on my pc and I wait 5 minutes by package while the validation are complete... It's so long because the connection point to the production and they must point to the test environment (My pc isn't connected to the network )
To make this change, I must wait 5 long minutes by package and I'm eager...
Someone have the answer ?

I have a package which takes a text file and imports data into a SQL table. It returns the Package Validation Error:
Error at Data Flow Task [SQL Server Destination [1430]]: Failure inserting into the read-only column "ZipCode".
The column ZipCode in the sql table is a varchar(50) column. I do not understand why it thinks the column is a read only column; if someone could shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Whenever I open a saved SSIS package, validation takes over and it can take a long time to do that. Is there a way to disable the validation process when opening the SSIS package? Thanks.

Is there a way you can open an SSIS package without validating it?
The reason is - when I take a package from PROD and open it in DEV - initially all settings-variables are wrong - and the validation takes heck of long time in that case. And then I need to change the variables and reload the package. And bloody hell - if I forgot to change a variable - I sometimes have to validate package 3 times. And sometimes - I only need to get visual look of package - so why do I always need to wait for validation...
We are going to be running a package repeatedly 24/7. The same package against the same data store, filtered using a "stageFlag" so as not to read rows previously processed. We have various timing statistics and have yet to fine tune; but on the surface it appears that it takes approximately three minutes to validate and another three minutes to run. If we have no additional data on the second run it still takes three minutes to complete - to do nothing but skip rows already processed.
Is it possible to set this up to run repeatedly without the validation on each iteration?
Any ideas as to how this would be accomplished would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I created a new SSIS Package. I want to send an e-mail when an error occurrs.
I set the OnError event to send an e-mail. I then decided to test this so I dropped my input SQL table. When I drop the import SQL table I get a Package Validation Error and I don't get my e-mail.
Am I making a mistake. I want to always send an e-mail when an error occurrs in my SSIS package.
By the way I did add an e-mail at the end of my SSIS package to verify my SMTP is working - it did.
Thanks,
Michael
Hi,
I have a package which has 5 connection managers. One of the Connection Manager has incorrect server name, which results in Package Validation error. Which event handler should be used to run on such errors for OnError Event handler doesnt work @ all.

My SSIS package will just hang (do nothing) after validation of the package tasks. I realised that it does 2 validation. It then hits "starting exectuing" and then nothing. I mean nothing. It just stays the same. When I look into the logg file, the same message as in the output window. My package has parallel extract of data from the same datasource, but different tables. I dont know if that the problem but i really doubt it because i have done parallel table downloads countless times in version 2000. When i go into the data task window, the source task does no even indicate that its downloading (color yellow). Is there any reason why this will happen? Ooo, but the tasks executes just fine when i execute them individually (right click > execute).

I want to create a package which start and stop the SQL server's services... i know i can achive this via NET COMMAND.... but i coudnt find in which task (SSIS) I can place that command?..
I also came across that I can achieve this using Execute Process task but for this I have to define executable file.... actually i dont want ne thing outside from my SSIS package
CAN I ACHIEVE THIS WITH IN SSIS PACKAGE?
is there ne other alternative?

Hi All,
I have some clarifications on stopping my package once cube is refreshed or processed.
Below i have given steps for the transformation in my package
Let me give you what are all the dataflow transformations that i had given in my package.
1. Data Flow Task
2. Script Task 1- I have written code for getting the last processed cube (global variable has been declared for Last processed cube date - lastProcessedCube)
3. Script Task 2 - I have written code for SS_Batch table where i can get Create_Ts date that is assigned to another global variable - create_ts.
4. Analysis Processing Task.
In between Script Task 2 and Analysis Processing Task i have given @lastProcessedCube > @create_ts for Expression and Constraint under Precedence Constraint Editor
Actually i need to run package for every 10 minutes which i can do it in Job Schedule and need to refresh or process the cube daily. Is there any way to stop the package once when my cube is processed on that day. Again start the package for the next day.... Is it possible to do this? Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi everyone,
After a Execute method I would need to stop a package but I don't know why:
sResultDts = pkg.Execute(Nothing, Nothing, EventsSSIS, Nothing, Nothing)
I have a Events class (EventSSIS) which implements IDTSEvents and have an OnQueryCancel event but without parameters, such so:
Function OnQueryCancel() As Boolean Implements IDTSEvents.OnQueryCancel
Return False
End Function
Let me know how to pass a boolean parameter because of I can't overloaded OnQueryCancel method
TIA-
Hi,
I am learning to use SSIS for creating packages. I am getting the following error when I try to execute my package...

I'd appreciate if someone can help me with this. Do I need to change some settings? Also, what does the number in brackets indicate, say in FlatFileConnection(122)? Is it valuable information while debugging?
Just to give an idea, my package is like this -
source FlatFile -> Derived Column -> Lookup1 ->Lookup2 ->OLE DB destination(SQL server DB table)
Lookup1 and Lookup2 have error redirected to one flat file destination each.
Thanks in advance!

I am using SQL Server 2012 SP1. I have built an SSIS package that imports flat file data from various files to SQL Server. I have got it to do everything I want it to do when things are going well, and am now on what I want it to do when it encounters a failure executing specific tasks and containers. For example, I have a Foreach Loop container that executes a dedicated stored procedure for each csv file in the target folder. If any of the store procedures fail to run for any reason I want to carry out certain actions.
For the most part I think I will be fine using the Event Handlers. What I can't seem to find is how to tell the package to stop executing on a Failure event after carrying out the actions defined by the relevant Event Handler. Or, perhaps it isn't necessary as that would be the default behaviour on a failure?
Hi everyone,
I've created a DTS package runs on every day and night, but now my boss was asking if I can insert an exception code to check the view file.
So.. I need help from you guys, cause I don't know How.
This is my DTS description.
My DB will generate a view called "Calls to Add", then it will run the Transform Data Task and insert into a txt file. once it finished, it will run the Batch file. that is it.
Now My boss wants me to add a checking code between "View to Txt" procedure. If the view has no record inside, than the DTS package should stop and not run.
BUT How??? Can someone please help?? Thanks
Hi,
I need to make my package check a variable value at the begining of the execution and depending on the value of that variable it decides either to continue or stop the package execution. How can i do that?
thanks,

I have SSIS Projects taking a long time to open with packages with a large number of data flows. Is there a way to turn off validation of metadata when a package opens? Turn off validation during execution on SSIS Service (after previously validated in dev)? Or be able to control when validation takes place in general?
In my one package (1 of 5) I have 43 data flows (with a single source to target mapping) in 4 sequence containers, and it takes approximately 2-3 seconds per source to target mapping and sequence container to validate which will translate to 1 ½ to 2 ½ minutes to open. When the project with all 100+ tables for the data warehouse goes through validation, I can make coffee in the time it takes to open the project. I have to delete *.suo file (or verify all packages are closed in the designer and save the project file), and when I open the project, I have to jump immediately to SSISÃ Work Offline to set it to not validate the metadata to be able to work in a timely fashion. DelayValidation=TRUE does not help much.
Running in debug mode, has an effect of causing packages that were not open and validated to go through validation though I am not running those packages. Validate once during design and run forever.
Even if I re-open a package that I just closed from designer and had gone through validation, it will go through the validation process again.
It would be great if there could be an on-demand option off the menu bar to allow one to control when validation can take place for a project, or a more granular validation option for a specific data flow or container.
When I push my SSIS packages up to my production server (which has a different data source than my developement environment) and I try to open the package on the production server, it takes forever for to validate all the steps of the SSIS package because it's trying to validate against a datasource that isnt there, so it just waits for each element it's validating to time out. This is exceptionally annoying.
Is there a way to turn off this validation 'feature'?
Hi
I have created a package which executes every 10 mins. Last week end for maintenance purpose, I shutdown my database. Now as an initial execution process, my package does the default validation steps on which the database connection validation step fails. As this is the default functionality of SSIS I am not able to capture this error. Is there anyway to capture this error inside SSIS Package?
Thanks in advance.

I have an SSIS package which calls two other SSIS packages as part of it's control flow (using the Execute Package task). Both packages are stored in the same parent folder on the same server. The first child package runs successfully, the second does not. It ran fine for days until yesterday. Not sure what I might have done. I have tried to delay validation and recreate the connection. No go. Has anyone else run into this. I am running SQL 2005 RTM and VS 2005 RTM on XP Pro SP2. Any suggestions would be welcome.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi, this is my first post and I'm relatively new to SSIS so please go easy on me.
Without going into too much detail about it, I've set up a simple SSIS package which does this in a nutshell:
Foreach loop picks up all *.xls files in a given folder
1 - Puts the name of the current spreadsheet into a variable
2 - File System Task copies the current spreadsheet ("abc.xls") to a file called "work.xls"
3 - Data Flow task performs data extraction on "work.xls" and puts it into a SQL server database
4 - File System Task moves "abc.xls" into a "success" folder
Continues with loop - move onto next spreadsheet
This works fine, so long as the spreadsheets all have the same number of columns.
As soon as one of them has a column missing (believe me, this will happen - we're dealing with users here) the package falls over at step 3.
When the package comes across an erroneous spreadsheet, what I'd like to do is move the offending file to a failure folder (making step 4 either a success or failure file move) and carry on with the next one.
I know that you can have an error path (the red line) from any step within the dataflow task, but this doesn't help me because the error lies in the structure of the spreadsheet and not the contents.
I've already come up with a work around whereby each file is moved into the failures folder just after step 2, then moved from the failures folder into the success folder at step 4.
This almost gives me what I want, although of course the package still falls over whenever it encounters a dodgy looking spreadsheet.
Is there any way that I can get the package to do what I'm after?
Many thanks,
Simon
