Tasks Using Cmdexec Failing
Feb 2, 1999
WE have a number of SQL 6.5 servers all of which run many scheduled tasks. However on one all tasks which use cmdexec to run batch files fail after 2-3 seconds. The history returns : 'No message' and the error logs just indicate that the tasks have faILED.
The identical tasks run on servers with what appears to be identical configurations and setup.
Tasks scheduled using Tsql run OK !
I would be grateful for any advice or help
Many thanks in advance

I have sql 2000 job that has been setup as a "Operating System Command (CmdExec) job. I am logged into the SQL Server as DomainNameSQLAdmin this domain account is part of the Administrator group on the SQL Server that the job in running on. This account has SysAdmin rights and is also starting the MSSQLSERVER Service and SQLSERVERAGENT Service on the same machine.
The job just copies files from one directory to another, here's the code.
D:
cd MSSQLBACKUPAPAP_Primary
xcopy *.* D:MSSQLBACKUPAP /s/y/d
When run as a job, with the owner of the job being DomainNameSQLAdmin the job fails with the following error message: Executed as user: DomainNameSQLAdmin. The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x822E9AD29DCAAF4196369A46C7FE212A (reason: Access is denied). The step failed.
Here's the weird part if I open a command window on the sql server and run the batch it works fine.
I even tried executing the commands via xp_cmdshell but that didn't work either, I recieved the message: (1 row(s) affected) with the output being NULL and the file was never copied.
Anyone have an idea whats going on?

Hi
I have a strange problem with SSIS packages.
(brief description - packages select some data from DBs , write them to CSV file and then CSV file is
copied and renamed to a folder made up of the date)
I have 5 packages scheduled to run, these jobs run perfectly when test scheduled during the day,
(so its not a user permissions problem).
However it seems the 1st package to run at night will fail.
The reason I say 1st is the following,
I had Package A scheduled at 11:20PM and package B at 11:30PM , Package B always succeeded
but package A always failed.
I would test A during the day and it would run fine (the jobs would run successfully aswell as just executing the package manually) .
The I changed the time with B to 11:50PM and it succeeds and A fails ! without changing the packages themselves.
This counts out a possibilty of a DB backup causing the problem (pack always succeeded at 1130, now fails at the same
time)
I was thinking maybe as the folder wasn't created when the 1st pack ran this was causing the fail, but when i test run the job
this morning it succeeds .. and todays folder doesn't exist either !
any ideas ?

Good morning,
I have a strange problem with a scheduled task failing with the following:
"Unable to send completion notification email to operator with email name '' for task 2780, 'Scheduled Update'"
This job is the same across several servers and the job runs on the other servers. This is a bit frustrating... I cannot seem to find the difference that is causing the problem.
The funny thing is that I am not using SQLMail or anything to notify anyone regardless if the job succeeds or fails.
Any pointers?
Thanks much,
Don

Newbie here...be patient with me!
I added tasks to refresh two tables (delete from, insert into, update) to an SSIS project . I have them running from the WinXP scheduler. The issue:
In dev the tasks integrate and execute successfully from scheduler
In prod I can right click and execute each of the three tasks without any problem, but the same tasks cause my project to fail when executed from scheduler
Questions:
Any ideas about what I am failing to see?
How do I get a meaningful log messages from the tasks that are failing?
Thanks for your ideas...

I have tried to make a DTS task running a batc-file on the same server as the SQL program is running using the CmdExec command.
My Command is as follows:
CmdExec serverpathatchname.bat
The problem is that everytime the step runs it report the following error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."
In the bat file I am also trying the de-map/map a network drive with another loginname/password than the one used on the SQL-server -> is this i problem?
Hope to hear from you soon, this is a bit urgent!!
Please provide tips to this adresse: qtip@bigfoot.com

I have to verify a .CSV file exists before I run a BULK INSERT. I am using XP_FileExist in SQL 2000 to accomplish this. After the Bulk Insert is completed and validated, I need to Rename the file and Move the file to archive the folder. For testing I figure If I can rename the file I can move it. I suspect I have permission issues and need to provide the SQL Server Agent permissions to this folder and file. I have my PC setup as a SQL 2000 Server and am attempting to get this step only working on my local machine. I created a nightly Job that remanes a file that I created in a Job and that is all it does. I am running the Job as SA but am still having issues.
The step being executed by the Job is "Ren C:MyTestFile.csv C:MyTestFile1.csv" (with the quotes). If I run this statment (without the Quotes from a command prompt, the file is renamed.
I have set the Type as "Operating System Command (CmdEXEC)". The Job history shows "The process could not be created for step 2 of job 0x71D51027F920A140A2913234DB7FF509 (reason: The system cannot find the file specified). The step failed."
As I said, I suspect that it is a permissions issue as the command works from the command prompt. What is the windows account that the SQL Server Agent uses to commit these commands? I added "Everyone" with Full access to the folder and I still get the same failure.
I would appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
In creating 'steps' in JOBS, is it possible to execute many DOS CmdExec in
one step, instead of creating several steps with a single DOS-cmd in each.
For example:
Step1: bcp sourcedb..sourcetbl out source.dat -n -T -Ssourceserver
Step2: isql -T -Stargetserver -Q "truncate table targettbl"
Step3: bcp targetdb..targettbl in source.dat -n -T -Stargetserver
If I created a job executing those 3 functions in 3 separate steps then it works fine. But if I put all those 3 DOS command in one step, it won't work. Somehow,
SQL doesn't 'understand' it should execute after the end of each command OR
I missed something here (apparently so!).
I know if I put all those 3 DOS commands into a DOIT.BAT and execute it, it will work. But I want to use SQL Job to schedule it to run on a regular basis.
Anyone has run into this same problem? Thanks in advance.
David Nguyen.

I would like to trap a return value from a cmdexec that is scheduled. The cmdexec returns 0 if it is a success and something other than 0 if it doesn't.
Can I raise an error from a command file. The command file calls a console application ( i.e. no interface ).
Any help is appreciated.

I have a Job that runs a cmdexec job step which executes a batch file in sql server 7.0 that runs fine
In sql 2000 when i try to run that job it gives the following error and fails
----
the process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x677EF599B13FA743AA2D501D4C211AC4 (reason: The system cannot find the file specified). The step failed.
------
In fact i am not able to execute any cmdexec job in sql 2000
The owner of the above job is sa
Does it have to do with SqlAgentCmdExec account which is set to corporate/administrator and has required permission.
Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the invitation to post a question, so I will post one.
I need to create a job step that uses cmdExec.
This is the command line I entering:
D:odbcTimeClockUpdatesinReleaseTimeKeepingNo nLogouts.exe
When I run this job the job fails. When I look at the job history, the only information I get is the date and time, user that ran the job and the fact that it failed. I haven't been able to get any CmdExec job to run at all. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Facts.
1. This exact same command is used by my network administrator using windows scheduler on the server. The only reason he wants me to create an sql server job is because it's mostly sql functions.
2. I know the Sql Server agent is running, because I have other jobs that are run.
3. I have verified that I have permission to run the file because I can go to the actual directory and run the exe.
4. Do I need to enclose my command in quotes i.e. “D:odbcTimeClockUpdatesinReleaseTimeKeepingN onLogouts.exe”
5. the path of the file I need to run is the path on the server and not the path on my local machine.
If you need any other information, please let me know
Thanks for you help

Hi all,
I've working a while, not at full time, but seeking the solution...Here what I want to do and what I've done till now:
I want to build a sql job, so I can run a package (witch loads 2 excel sheets into 2 tables) passing "dynamic" parameters, like convert(varchar,getdate(),112) in the format YYYYMMDD. From what I've found, I can do this with an Stored Procedure, which first set this variable, building a statement so it can be run by xp_cmdshell. For example:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'DTEXEC /SQ PACKAGE /SET "Package.Variables[DAY].Value";20070101'
And this statement runs with no problem in the SP until it reaches the step of loading the Excel Sheets into tables. Here it gives an error. It's about the JET driver. From what I've read in the forum and from the output error the problem seems to be that this statement executes the dtexec.exe 64bits, even the suggestion to change the property Run64BitRuntime set to False, it stills running from the dtexec.exe 64bits.
So, I changed the statement to point to dtexec.exe 32bits:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe /SQ PACKAGE /SET "Package.Variables[DAY].Value";20070101'
But executing this statement it does not even run. The errors are:
'C:Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file
This was very wird to me, because this was very mentioned by the moderators.
So, I copy this same statement and created a job with a step type of "Operating System (CmdExec)" and it runs great...With no problem with the extraction from excel source.
Now my questions are:
1. Why the step job CmdExec recognizes the path of dtexec.exe 32bits ('C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe ), but trying to run with xp_cmdshell it gives the error mencioned above. And if there is another way to set dtexec.exe 32bits besides this way?
2. If I cannot run it throught xp_cmdshell, how could I pass a parameter like convert(varchar,getdate(),112) in the format YYYYMMDD instead of the static parameter 20070101.
Thanks in advance.

I'm a bit confused. On the command line of the job step property I entered dtexec /SQL... and got an error saying file not found, I assumed dtexec itself couldnt be found. So I tried /SQL .... by itself and got something that looked more like a security error. If I make the step property type "ssis" job appears to run fine, I receive my pkg's on success (rather than on failure) email but I know everything isnt fine because even if no data is ETL'd, first executable is supposed to (and always has in client) insert a row into an audit table and it doesnt. If I set job step "type" to t-sql and simply db email myself with t-sql command, everything is fine.
The first question is "Wouldnt dtexec need to be specified, how else could sqlagent know what I'm trying to run?" If answer is yes, what's wrong with my syntax or environment?

Can someone tell me how i can generate an exit code (Cmdexec). Ive tried running an .exe file in a job but when i do that the job hangs. When i check the history it says the exit code is somewhere in 27000. Now i'm wondering if it is possible for me to generate an exit code if the executable closes.
PS. When i run the file from a batch file it works great

Hi, I have the following setup:
- Win 2K Server, SP4
- SQL Srv 2K, SP4
- A 'DEV' domain, with an 'Administrator' account with all possible rights on the system
I need to configure a CmdExec proxy account in order to allow non-sys-admin users to execute the master.dbo.xp_CmdShell procedure.
When attempting to do this via QA as follows:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_sqlagent_proxy_account N'SET',
N'DEV', -- agent_domain_name
N'Administrator', -- agent_username
N'password' -- agent_password
...I get the following error:
"The system cannot find the path specified."
When attempting to do this via QA as follows (note: only change is adding domain to agent_username arg):
EXEC master.dbo.xp_sqlagent_proxy_account N'SET',
N'DEV', -- agent_domain_name
N'DEVAdministrator', -- agent_username
N'password' -- agent_password
...I get the following error:
"Error executing extended stored procedure: Specified user can not login"
I have tried this through Enterprise Manager and get identical results, of course.
I have also tried all of the following:
- different OS user accounts, including local system accounts with local admin rights;
- assigning the OS account to a SQL login with System Admin role/rights;
- specifically assigning the above SQL login with EXEC rights on the master.dbo.xp_CmdShell procedure;
- verifying local security policy settings, as per the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283811;
- pulling out my hair and banging my head against the wall.
Can anyone H E L P ? ! ! !
Thanks,
Joe

I have created an Integration Services package on my development machine. The package contains a configuration file witch let's say is stored in c:projectsMyIntegrationServicesProjectmyConfigfile.dtsConfig (on my dev machine).
Then I have another "Production" machine where I import the SSIS package into an SQL database. I then create an sql-job with only one step, to run my SSIS package. This works fine if I configure the step to be an "SQL Integration services package" and configure it to use my configurationfile.
However I would like to configure this package as a CmdExec step. In the commandline, I specify /CONFIGFILE "d:....myConfigfile.dtsConfig" (the correct path on the prod machine). But it seems to be ignored, because when I execute the package I get an error telling me that the configuretion file c:projectsMyIntegrationServicesProjectmyConfigfile.dtsConfig cannot be found.
What I try to say is, it seems like it ignors the config-file I specify on the command-line and tries to reach the config-file on a location that's probably stored somewhere in the SSIS package from the time it was created on my development machine.
Is there a way around this?

I have an SSIS package that runs fine through command pormpt although when I try to run it from a SQL Servr Agent Job CmdExec step it bombs out. Please help this has me stumped...the SSIS package uses an XML connection string so certain key settings such as connection strings and email info can be changed easily. Currently this is all on the same machine. I have not moved it beyond where I am developing.
On the command line I am using the following command...
dtexec /F "S:connectionscontacts.dtsConfig" /DE "password"
Below is the output log...

are there restrictions on what a DBA can do on a developer's edition?
i'm asking coz i get really bad connection problems when changing service accounts, client aliases, port numbers, connecting to different components like ssis, reporting services, database engine, etc...
in sql2000, changing these things are a breeze, is there some guidelines when making these changes in 2005?

Hi guys
Just want to know whether you guys do the following as a dba:
1. Setup a logging for tracking database as well as table size that containing size, indexing size. You can measure the growth.
2. Record for indexing for each database. I think this is over kill task.
3. Record database setup such as create statistic, update statistic etc.
These tasks can be automate to record every month for example and record this into Administration database for instance.
What else you guys record?
Thanks

I tried highlighting the ones that I want to run but it's running all of them in the tab...some of the components I want to take out for testing then maybe put back in later. If I delete the tasks I don't want to run, then I end up having to recreate them

Would anyone be aware of anyplace I could find some good information on creating DTS custom tasks? I've come across a couple of articles from SQL Server Magazine, but nothing too substantive...
Better yet, if anyone has any success (great or small), I'd like to hear from you and hear some of the things you did, what your custom task does, difficulty.
I'm just trying to get an idea of how much work I have ahead of me....
Thank You...

If I have 2 scheduled tasks set for the same time (perhaps accidentally), will the
SQL Executive start 1 and queue the other one until the first is complete and
then run the 2nd task? Or will they both be started simultaneously?
Thanks!

I have been running the following production job successfully for a long time.
It now fails, and the Task History Last Error Message displays 'No Message'.
The log file ( C:MSSQLLOGMaint_TombV50.txt) shows it ran successfully,

SQLMAINT.EXE -D TombV50 -RebldIdx 10

It looks like SQL Executive burps for some reason.

Hello ,
I need create tasks, which will be wake up daily to backup 4 databases.
My questions are:
1. Can I create 1 task to backup all databases using TSQL command?
Ex: DUMP DATABASE test1 to test1_backup
DUMP TRANSACTIONS test1 to test1_backup with truncate_only
DUMP DATABASE test2 to test2_backup
DUMP TRANSACTIONS test2 to test2_backup with truncate_only
Etc.
If it’s possible can I just print this command to ‘Command:’ text box in the ‘New task’ window
without writing the TSQL command into a text file and execute it with the ISQL program through
CmdExec??????
2.If first doesn’t work: can I do the same job, but create for every backup own task and run the same
TSQL command for particular database. And if I can is it possible to schedule run all 4 tasks the same time or I should put time’s interval?
3. If 1. And 2. Are false. Give me your smart advice.
Thank you,
Sev

Is anybody knows how to transfer all the tasks in one server to another?
Our development database will be transferred/copied to a new production box
and that includes all tasks that we've created. We have almost a hundred
tasks defined and we don't want it create manually. If someone had done
this before, please give me a hint, i appreciate it very much!
Thanks.

Hi all,
I've got a DTS job which has lots of tasks in it. I've also got quite a few flows of workflow and i've noticed that a task won't execute if it has both Failure and Success workflow pointing to it... It can have multiple failures pointing to it and it will execute but it can't have multiple successes or a combination of workflows...
Does anyone know a way to get around this or to change the 'AND' ing that seems to be on the workflow going into a task..
Thanks.

Hi,
I just volunteered to be the database administrator of our new sql server. I am normally the programmer so I have little experience with database administration. There are some basics that I need some assistance with mainly when to perform various maintanence checks. For example, how often do I need to perform some of the dbcc commands that I have read about? How often do I check for data integrity, index fragmentation, rebuilding indexes, or defrag indexes?
I have to come up with a plan by tomorrow and I don't know if I have anything solid enough since I don't exactly know when to perform some of these tasks. :confused:
Thanks so much for your advice.

Task : 4
I have a table in the database I am working with with the following columns:
(I have simplified this down for the sake of clarity)
int p1
int p2
int p3
int s1
date d1
string s1
There is no primary key and the table more resembles a log than anything.
e.g.
p1 p2 p3 s1 d1 s1

What I want to do is exttract the rows from the table where the combination
of p1 p2 and p3 is distinct/unique and the date is the most recent one for
all combinations of p1, p2, p3. So from the table above I would end up with
the resultset:
p1 p2 p3 s1 d1 s1

Task 5
say i have the following data...
uId(int PK), productcode(int), quantity(int)
1,12,5
2,12,3
3,12,5
4,11,9
....and i have an order for productcode 12 with quantity of 6 products.
i need to select only enough rows to reach a quantity of 6.
in this case, i would want the first two rows which would give me a sum of
8.
how can i do this without looping through each record, getting the quantity
and exiting the loop when i have a sum >= 6?
Task 6
I have two tables as below, TABLE1 and TABLE2.
TABLE 1: Base
IDPNamePPrice
-------------------------------------
1A30
2B20
TABLE 2: History
IDLdateAmount
-------------------------------------
12005/8/750
The ID of TALBE1 is the primary key and the ID of TABLE2 is the foreign key.
What's the right T-SQL JOIN statement when I pass the date of 2005/8/7,
it will return the result as below:
LdatePNameAmount
------------------------------------
2005/8/7A50
2005/8/7Bnull
and when I pass the date of 2005/8/8, it will return the result as below:
LdatePNameAmount
------------------------------------
2005/8/8Anull
2005/8/8Bnull
Task : 7
Reverse the Name
create table sample_judge(
judge_namevarchar(50))
go
insert into sample_judge values ('J Smith')
insert into sample_judge values ('M Samuel')
insert into sample_judge values ('S Shan')
insert into sample_judge values ('K Anand')
insert into sample_judge values ('K K K K Anand')
insert into sample_judge values ('K R Shanth Anand')
insert into sample_judge values ('K R Shanth Anand Kumara Velu')
go
Expected Output :
Smith J
Samuel M
Shan S
Anand K
Anand K K K K
Shanth Anand K R
Shanth Anand Kumara Velu K R

thanks in adv
