Suppress DTexec Windows Event Logging
Mar 27, 2007When using Dtexec to run a package, is there a way to prevent/suppress the windows event log information messages:
- Package "Xyz" started.
- Package "Xyz" finished successfully.

We are starting to work with SSIS in our production environment & due to support issues; we are trying to get rid of the "Package xxx started" log entries inside of the Windows Application Event Log...
So far, I have tried many different things, including setting the LoggingMode to "Disabled", as well as adding a new logging reference with a different destination... All of which still do not get rid of the extra log entries...
how to get this done?
Greetings,
I am developing a package on my local workstation. I have defined two logging service providers. One is for SQL Server and the other is for the Windows Event Log. I am using the Dts.Log method in a script task to write log entries.
Logging is working properly with the SQL Server provider and rows are being inserted into the sysdtslog90 table. However, the only events that are being logged in the Windows Event Log are the package start and end events which I believe SSIS is doing automatically anyway.
Is there something I need to do to enable WIndows Event Log logging other than defining a log provider and making sure it is checked active? Won't SSIS write to two different logs with one Dts.Log call? Any ideas on what might be going wrong with my approach?
Thanks,
BCB
Hi,
I decided to use the SQL Server log provider to store logging data of all my Integration Services packages. I also created some reports about this data for operating purposes.
I have a problem occurs the name of the executing package is not always written to the log,but the name of the single task which failed. But that is not very useful information for operating, because I do not see any chance to get the name of the package by the information which is logged in the sysdtslog90 table in the database which I defined for SSIS Logging.
How do I configure the package to always log the package information into the table, too?
Best regards,
Stefoon
Since the other related topic is closed/answered...
The Short version:
SQL is now logging too much info with every package. The volume of the new "User: Diagnostic" event has caused some packages to fail and the command-line exclusion option appears to have no effect on the events logged to the SQL provider. Is this a bug in dtexec or am I using the wrong syntax to exclude log entries? I don't want to modify all of my SSIS packages...
More Info:
SQL SP2 introduced new logging events, most of which appear to get logged by default. So far, none of our packages have used any sort of explicit logging configuration; it's all been set at the command line using a syntax like shown below:
dtexec.exe /FILE "D:SSIS PackagesMyAppVendors.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REP E;Diagnostic /LOGGER "{6AA833A1-E4B2-4431-831B-DE695049DC61}";"MyDBConnName"
This does appear to correctly limit what gets logged to the console (and thereby the SQL Agent's job step log), but has no effect on what's logged to the database. Normally, I'd use /REP EWDCI, but I was attempting to limit the log entries to Errors only.
I first came across this error when a package failed, but it only logged the following to the console with nothing in sysdtslog90 (while not the "latest/greatest" server, this is a relatively low-utilized quad 2.8ghz xeon ProLiant DL580 G2):

End Error
I changed this one package to only log OnError events, but I'd rather not have to change every package to do the same, plus I'd like the ability to easily turn on verbose or any other logging level when needed.
My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-
Date 10/25/2011 10:55:46 AM

Is there a way I can trace it how it is coming? When I check input buffer for these ids, it looks like it is tracing everything. All the general application DMLs are coming in these spids.
I am looking to promote a SSIS package to various servers. The name and location of the text Log File setup in BIDS for the package is expected to change. The SSIS package will be executed through a 3rd party scheduler as a batch command file.
I am trying to use this command to change the location
dtexec /F DASD_Database_List_export.dtsx /L "DTS.LogProviderTextFile.1;E:Log.txt"
For which I am getting this error:
Description: The connection manager "E:log.txt" is not found. A component failed to find the connection manager in the Connections collection.
I tried Set command approach from
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=72104
It did not work.
Has anyone been successful in using the dtexec log parameter DTS.LogProviderTextFile.1? Could you post how you got it to work? Thanks
Hi
We are generating log file in our SSIS package by enabling the built-in feature of SSIS tool. We are generating log for the "OnError" event. This also recorded the error/failed task messages in the text file "log.txt". That error information is too complex with more unwanted information like below
----------------OnError,,,pkgExtract,,,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,8/30/2006 11:50:04 AM,-1071636471,0x,An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.

An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
---------------------------------
This is infact not in a better readable format. We also don't want to do our error logging in database.
Is there any way of defining our error log and create error error log with customization of our messages . Can we do it using OnError event handler.
Please help us with some good solution to avoid giving this confused error log messages.
Thanks

When running SSIS packages, the package execution information is logged in the SYSDTSLOG90 table which contains the following columns.
id
event
computer
operator
source
sourceid
executionid
starttime
endtime
datacode
databytes
message
After executing a package, I found that the values in the "executionid" column are the only ones that are unique. Can we use this to determine what package was run? We are trying to architect a solution that would allow us to determine as to how long a package ran, if it ran into warnings / errors etc., We can easily accomplish this by having our own table and using Global variables within packages, we could insert / update this table. Appreciate any help.
I am currently working to write a progress log for my SSIS packages. So far I am able write a new log entry, update this log entry using OnProgress and OnError Event Handlers. I'd like to take it one step further. Whenever the package ends whether cancelled or finished normally; I'd like to write to my logging table COMPLETED_ABNORMALLY on cancelled or COMPLETED_NORMALLY on a normal finish of the package. I'm not sure where to begin with this process. I'd like to utilize a simple method and event handler.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to implement a custom log table. To keep the discussion simple, let's say I only have 1 column in this table and all I want to write in it are
"Start" when the package starts
"Error" when it encounters an error
"Finish" when the package finishes. Even if there was an error, I still want to enter "Finish'.
My Control Flow has 3 task objects, 2 Execute SQL Tasks, and 1 Data Flow Task in between them.
The first Execute SQL Task does an insert statement for the Start and the second Execute SQL Task does an insert for the Finish.
To capture any package errors, I also have an Execute SQL Task (to insert "Error") in the Event Handler for OnError. I see that when I cause an error in my package it can raise multiple OnError events, which will envoke my Execute SQL Task multiple times. (This is good because it will allow me to write a line per error event with the error description.)
The problem I have is, how do I write the "Finish" log when I have an error? If I put the insert for the finish in the same Execute SQL Task with the errors, then it will write a "Finish" for every error. But I can't put it anywhere else because if I put it anywhere else, the package never makes it there because it stops at the OnError Event Handler.
Or is there a way for me to tell the package to do the 2nd Execute SQL Task all the time?
Lastly, is there a better way to do this kind of custom logging?
In my console application code which creates and executes SSIS package I have this code.
Code Block
provider.ConfigString = loggingConnection.Name;
package.LoggingOptions.SelectedLogProviders.Add(provider);
package.LoggingOptions.EventFilterKind = DTSEventFilterKind.Inclusion;
package.LoggingOptions.EventFilter = new string[] { "OnPipelineRowsSent","PackageEnd" };
package.LoggingMode = DTSLoggingMode.Enabled;
I use a custom log component to log the events. However the "PackageEnd" event does not seem to get fired at all.
Am I missing something in this?
Thanks
I'm trying to suppress whitespace in a drilldown for textboxes that have suppress duplicates applied.
I have a matrix report that is showing whitespace in a drilldown because I am supressing duplicates. Based on what I read in other forums, if I set the ToggleItem to Len(FieldName)=0 that should supress the whitespace, right?
I can see that I have a field in the toggleitem called: Firstname. If I put the value Len(Firstname)=0 in the toggleitem property, then I get the error: The textbox 'textbox21' has Len(Firstname)=0' as a toggle item. Toggle items must be text boxes that share the same scope as the hidden item. I think the code 'Len' is throwing it off.
If I put the value "Firstname" in the toggleitem property, then it doesn't return the error, so I know that firstname is a valid value for toggleitem, but setting the value to firstname doesn't suppress anything.
If someone can tell me how to supress a textbox based on a value, then this may get rid of the whitespace I'm trying to suppress. Any ideas? Thanks...
i'm retrieving addresses from a database and displaying them in my report. i have an addr line 2 for addition address data if needed. i have placed this addr line 2 on its own detail row. however i do not want that row to display if there is no data. the following is happening even though i have set the visibility on the row and text field to =iif(fields!addr2="",false,true)
the name prints on the first line, the main address on the second line, i have a space where addr line 2 would have been, finally i get the city, state, zip on the last line.
expected outcome i would like is that addr line 2 does not appear for those addresses that addr line 2 does not have any data. if addr line 2 does have data then print.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
In our sql server we have around 40 windows group.
Say a Windows user = "X"
This X user does not have a direct windows login, he is present in one or more windows groups registered in the sql server.
I need to know throught which group he is logging in.
If I know this , this will help in my auditing process.
Thanks in advance.

How to verify whether windows event log is enable in MSSQL 2000 or not through SQL Client (or sql query)
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am developing a package that will be run by a master package. The main task of this package is to write the errorid, errordescription and other details passed by the master package to various destination like a text file, a sql server or an event log.
I am using the flat file and the OLEDB destination for the text file and sql server. But I could not find any destination component that will help to write to an event log. Do I have to write a destination custom component for this?
I will then use this package in the event handler at the package level. Also comment on my approach.
Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Hi ,
Do you know what is the registry key / parameter that can be change in order to configure SQL 2000 to report on warning / Error event only ( just dismiss all the information messages)

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how do for 'Log Events' info going to Event Viewer Windows visor. Is it possible or it's just only private info for you SSIS.
Thanks for your input,
Hello Everyone,
I am backing up my all the databases (around 50 servers and 500 database) using scheduled jobs. I backup my transaction log files at every two hours of interval and databases on daily basis.
I have set option of "Write to Windows Application Event Log" - When job fails during the creation of job in the "Notification Tab" of Create New Job.
As per documentation SQL server automatically records some of the events to windows application event log. After succesful completion of Log backup and DB backup, event gets logged in Windows Application Event Log. And when job fails, I get two events logged in the Windows Application Event Log file, one due to my setting and other automatically by SQL Server.
Due to this Windows event log file is growing much faster and I have to clear it in every 3-4 days.
My quesiton - Is there a way such that to get only failures event logged in Windows Application event log file and any successful backup jobs should not go to Windows application event file?
Can any suggest some idea what should I do?
I am using SQL Server 2000 with SP3 on Windows 2000 Advanced server. Some of my databases are still using Version 7.0/6.5 on NT.

I just performed a fresh install of MSSQL 2005 Server Developer Edition on my XPSP2 machine along with MSSQL 2005 SP1 and I noticed that errors are not being reported in the Windows Event Viewer. Is there a way to enable/disable logging here?
I need to view these logs because when the tasks > 'copy database' task fails it submits its error in the Windows Event Log however since I reinstalled MSSQL 2005 these log entries don't appear here.
thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have a serious problem with my SSIS Package while executing using 32-bit DTExec and 64-bit DTExec.
Here are the details:
Environment:
Windows Server 2003 64-bit (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
SSIS 32-bit & 64-bit installed
SQL Server 2005 (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (X64) - RTM)
SSIS Package details (compiled in 64 bit)
Script tasks only
Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (using TRY...CATCH block)
PreCompileScriptIntoBinaryCode = TRUE
Run64BitRunTime = TRUE
Execution
Batch file that uses DTExec to execute the Package.
SCENARIO
I am trying to exeucte the above SSIS package using both 32-bit and 64-bit DTExec to make it failure by providing invalid connection string. Here are the details,
Wrong connection String using 32-bit Execution
While establishing the connection the error message has been nicely captured in to my Exception block and writes into the log file.
Wrong connection String using 64-bit Execution
While establishing the connection the error has not been catpured anywhere (although I have TRY CATCH block) and it haults there itself with the message "Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException". Later I found that the error is due to the connection string along with the unhandled exception.
Please suggest any one of the following my findings, also if you have any other advice would be very much appreciated.
1. Shall I go ahead and fix the issue by handling those unhandled errors? (e.g Appdomain, application). I tried several but still not working using 64-bit DTExec.
2. Shall I go ahead and use 32-bit DTExec to execute the package? If so, is there any other major issue...like performance or anyother bug?
P.S: We cannot apply any service pack for SQL Server 2005 at the moment. Sorry abt it. If you have any specific hotfix for DTExec (without affecting SQL Server) then we can decide.
Sorry for the lengthy one and Thanks very much for you help in advance .
Thanks again!

Recently we migrated our environment to 2012.
We are planning to implement Xevents in all the servers in place of Trace files and everything is working fine.
Is it possible to configure Extended event to trigger a mail whenever any event (example dead lock) occurs.
I have gone through so many websites but i never find.
I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file.
The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30
WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile'
AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message.
However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?

Hi all,
Can we get the event properties by using a query?
Are there any extended stored procuder to get the above?
Scenario:

>Go to Manage and click
>Expand System Tools

>Application
click on one event.We can get the log info which is the manual procudure.
But now i want to get the event properties through the Query analyzer...
Any help would be great?
