Hello,
I currently use DTSRun to run packages on my scheduler box. I would like to use the same set up to run SSIS packages.
Is there any way to duplicate this without installing SSIS on my scheduler box? Can I specify the server on which it should run?
Just don't want topurchase another license, if possible.

We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
hi ... i several ssis packages which has to be started as and when required. i want to give users that have no access to the sql server the possibility to start some of these packages (ideally out an an erp system or as web interface) the first idea that came in my mind was to create a webservice on sql server which calls the dtexec with the given parameters, but i have no idea if this is the best solution or if this is possible at all.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I run a newly created SSIS package remotely from my Vista Business PC, it runs an older version of the package, pointing to the wrong location that I initially configured in the flat file connection manager and I get errors, however when I run that same package from the server, it runs just fine.
Does anyone know what I need to do to clean that up?

I am quite new to SSIS but managed to build a package which imports text files in to SQL. The text files are generated after users complete a manufacturing process on a machine.
The SSIS package is stored in the SSIS catalog and currently a SQL Agent tasks runs every evening to import new files that have been created during the day. Users have now requested the ability to run the import process as soon as they have finished their manufacturing runs as they may want to query the data to looks up stats etc.
What is the best way to do this considering all of the users are not SQL guys and wont have direct logins into the SQL Server or access to SQL Server Management studio. They will have access to the PC where the files are generated, so I ideally I need a batch file which they can just execute to import their new files.
I have seen lots of things on the web about running dtsexec but as the package is stored in the SSIS Catalog, how can I execute this remotely?
We have a package (which uses SQL Server Destination Task) imported in the SQL Server. Is it possible to invoke this SSIS package from a remote App Server through C# .NET.
We would like to execute the SSIS package in the SQL Server itself and pass on the results of execution to the calling C#.NET application via the output variables declared in the SSIS package.
Thanks,

we run std 2008 r2. I'll be putting together a pkg whose last step needs to execute a program that resides on a remote (not same as where pkg runs) computer and that program must run on the remote computer. Return code(s) would be important to the pkg. I see talk about running over http which may or may not be possible with that remote ws 2003 sp2 server.
The pkg will be running on a ws 2008 r2 std sp1 machine.Does the community have any recommendations for running a remote program from ssis?
As I think about it, i'm not a big fan of making a pkg wait for another process synchronously. So I may just want to trigger the remote program and let something I would set up on the remote server tell me daily if the program succeeded. Interestingly this is a rewrite of a pentaho job that does wait for the remote program execution. I suppose installing ssis on that remote server is an option but I think i'd get a lot of resistance going that route. I'll probably be triggering a sql agent to ssis job after that remote program finishes.Â
Is there any way to check from SQL code if a specific SSIS stored package is running like a SQL system view or stored procedure? Management studio option works fine but not if you need to determine if a specific package already is running or not?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I run an SSIS package from the MSDB in SQL Server Management Studio it never shows up under 'Running Packages'.
I have confirmed that the package is indeed running.
I've also tried to check the packages running on the server programatically by using the GetRunningPackages() method. This too returns nothing when clearly packages are running.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
if I have some packages (.dtsx) that are depolyed to Server A and I have SQL Agent installed on Server B - if I run a run a package from SQL Agent, does it run on Server A or Server B?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Has anyone monitored the execution of SSIS packages with MOM? Are there extreme benefits over just utilizing the built in execution and event logs, as well as the Windows Event Viewer?
What is the recommended way to monitor SSIS execution?
Thanks,

Hi
Just a brief question,
is there a way of displaying a success or not success message when running (testing) an SSIS package on SQL 2005 ?
Because i have to go through the steps to see if there was an error or not and for large SSIS packages this is a pain.
With DTS 2000 after it ran you got a message saying successfull or not, is there a way to activate this in SQL 2005 ?
I suppose i could just run the job ... but I prefer the other way as sometimes a job fail is a permissions problem, not a SQL/datapump task problem...
I have a series of SSIS packages which populate 12 different databases. Which data source & target they use is controlled by values passed down from the SQL Agent Scheduler Job Step using "Set Values"
These values are passed to Variables which are used in the Expressions in the connection manager for the database to change the connection string and initial catalog.
e.g. REPLACE( @[User::ConString] , "Royalty", @[User::RoyDb] )
These jobs run successfully the majority of the time but each day I get a significant number of failures where one or more target or error trapping table cant be found. They are all using the same connection manager and most of the tables in the database get updated correctly but the job fails on trying to access one or two of the tables, with the following message in the On Error event:
-1071636248,0x,Opening a rowset for "[dbo].[RIGDUE_DAY]" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
This happens both when I schedule the jobs in parallel with other jobs running the same packages & when I run the job by itself using the right click, start at step option. e.g.
I had one fail last night, I ran it by itself this morning, it failed, I ran it again, it succeeded. Nothing concerning the data it was transforming had changed.
I have applied the hotfix to service pack one concerning the paralel use of variables in a package as referred to in the following link.

Any ideas welcome
We are using SQL Server 2005 Standard edition. We have the development studio installed on a developer€™s workstation. The SSIS package is accessing network folders using UNC and the tasks in packages are accessing SQL Server with a SQL Server id.
The SSIS package runs fine on the workstation. We deploy the SSIS package as a SSIS store on SQL Server. I receive Error 18456 Severity 14 State 8 error when I run the SSIS package as a SQL Agent job.
When I run the SSIS package from the Integration Services Management Studio, I get The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "dboSQLabm" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
I€™m sure this is a permission based problem since it runs fine on my workstation. I tried logon onto the SQL Server with my id (I€™m an admin to the server). I tried running the agent with my windows id. It looks like I€™m getting problem connecting to the SQL Server tables since the logs are properly written to the network drive.
In SQL DTS 2000, all we needed to do was give the SQL agent id permission to the network folder. I tried to search the forums, but none of the solutions seem to work for my situation.
I seem to be missing something with SQL 2005 SSIS and I am wondering how I would accomplish my taks. With SQL 2000 and DTS we designed our DTS packages so that we could load one file or database from start to finish. We then have controlling programs written in VB that will monitor directories, when a file shows up in a directory it loads the package, changes the necessary properties and executes it. These programs handle all of our error notifications and dealing with the files afterwards, making sure files are complete in the directory before the DTS runs, etc. With .NET and SQL 2005 I have learned that I can change the properties by using variables and expressions, which I think would handle all of our situation but I can not run them remotely. The documentation says that I could setup a scheduled job and then call sp_start_job from my program. That seems like it would require a lot of scheduled jobs and then I still need to get the parameters into the packages. The other option is to use a web service, that would require IIS on my SQL box which everywhere says I don't want. Am I using SSIS for something I am not supposed to be or how do I accomplish this in 2005?
I have noticed that you can not even run packages through the SQL Server Management Studio. We have a number of packages that are built that are run on demand when needed. In SQL 2000 I could just click and execute the package. In 2005 is my only option to setup some sort of fake job in the job scheduler?
I need some help from you on a problem with SQL Server Agent that I believe many of you have experienced. When searching on the web I find some loose answers, but it would not solve my problems. So here is my story.
1. I have created two SSIS packages, package 1 and package 2. Both packages have a Execute SQL Task making a select sql statement to a table, say Customer in AdventureWorks DB. Package1 also makes a Execute Pacakge Task to Package 2. Both packages have protectionlevel property set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey
2. Then I created two package configuration files per package, one indirect xml configuration and one xml configuration file. The former I created an environment variable called pack1, which was specifying the path and file name of second config file. Likewise, I did for package2. Maybe I could have reused thie first configuration file, but I am not sure since package1 calls package2.
3. Now I build and deploy my packages. Then I run my manifest file, going through the deployment wizard setting the necceccary properties like server name, user, password, I have also create the same environment variables on the deployment machine. I ensure that the package1 and package2 can be run under integration services (file system). And both package works. So far so good
4. Now I want to create a SQL server agent job that runs package1 and package2. Here I found an article that decribed How to Schedule and Run a SSIS package ( DTS ) Job in SQL Server 2005 http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Schedule__Run__SSIS__DTS.asp
5. I created a job executor account and then Create SQL proxy account and associate proxy account with job executor account as described. I created a new ssis job, specifying type ssis integration services, run as proxy, setting package source to SSIS package store, naming the server and package name (package2).
6. Now, I try running job1 which runs package2. ANd it works. I was aware if I needed to give file permission on users (read and execute) on my dtsx/dtsconfig/log files. So far so good
7. Now, I try to run job test which runs package1 (which also runs package2). But now the job fails :-(. The job runs for some seconds, but fails. I have to say that I have some script tasks with message boxes inside!!! hope this doesn't matter. I have created all neccessary accounts, proxies, credentials and so on. here is the view history

I have a SQL Scheduled Job in SQL 2005 SP2 that executes a few different SSIS packages. When I update the SSIS Packages, SQL Agent runs the job and shows success; however, the underlying packages are not executed. The packages are located on the server but we are using UNC paths in the jobs since much of the time they are started manually from a remote workstation and the jobs seem to look at the initiating workstation's file server rather than that of the SQL Server. Is this a known issue?
Thank you,
Jennifer
It is clear to me that in order to be able to use certain SSIS components (for example the Excel jet provider) I must launch my packages using the 32bit DTEXEC located at Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSBinn. However, when I do this it seems that there are other components of the package that no longer work as expected.
To test this I have created a simple package with two tasks (Run64BitRuntime is set to False):
1. Data flow task importing data from Excel
2. Execute SQL Task which does a simple select (select 1) from a Native OLE DB SQL data source (same SQL Server on which packages are stored). This task contains no input or output parameter.
When I try to execute the package using the 64bit DTEXEC, task 1 fails with the following error (as expected):
Code: 0xC0202009
Source: connection1 Connection manager "SourceConnectionExcel"
Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040154.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".
When I execute the package with the 32bit DTEXEC, task 2 fails with the following error
Code: 0xC002F210
Source: Execute SQL Task Execute SQL Task
Description: Executing the query "" failed with the following error: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Now here is the confusing part: When I change task 2 to use the .Net provider instead of the OLE DB the package works fine. According to the MS documentation, both of these providers are supported on 32 and 64 bit so am I missing something? One more thing to note: before I was able to use the 32 bit DTEXEC I had to re-register it as described in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919224
Hi,
I'm running several SSIS-packages in stored procedure using dtexec. Actually, there is a software that is running the procedure, but that's not important here.
The problem: if some of the packages failes, the whole procedure does not fail and I don't know if all the packages are successfully completed.
Here is a sample list of ssis-packages from procedure:
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "E:SSISSourcedataSourcedataaaa.dtsx"'
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "E:SSISSourcedataSourcedatabb.dtsx" '
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "E:SSISSourcedataSourcedataccc.dtsx"'
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "E:SSISSourcedataSourcedataddd.dtsx"'
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "E:SSISSourcedataSourcedataeee.dtsx"'
So, if eg bbb.dtsx would fail, is it possible to get the whole procedure failing?
We are in the process of upgrading to a new SQL 2012 server but we have many packages that load data from dbf files created with FoxPro into one of our databases. We have not converted the packages and run them with DTS but we get the following error:
Error: 2013-08-26 11:05:27.36
Code: 0xC0209303

Description: The requested OLE DB provider SQLNCLI.1 is not registered. If the 64-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 32-bit mode. Error code: 0x00000000.
[Code] .....
I searched for OLEDB and ODBC drivers for SQL 2012 64 bit but cannot find any that is newer than the 2005 that we have. What can I do short of changing the source files to overcome this issue?
I have a ssis package that has multiple large lookups without memory restriction. When running the package manually from SSMS on the same server it runs on when running automatically under the job agent, the package errors out when the server memory gets depleted by the loading of the large lookup reference data. One of the messages I get is
"An out-of-memory condition prevented the creation of the buffer object. "
Anyway, the package runs successfully when it runs automatically under the job agent.
I was curious as to why the above happens. Is that a bug or is the run time behavior different under these 2 environments by design.

Hi,
I have stumbled on a problem with running a large number of SSIS packages in parallel, using the €œdtexec€? command from inside an SQL Server job.
I€™ve described the environment, the goal and the problem below. Sorry if it€™s a bit too long, but I tried to be as clear as possible.
The environment:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, SQL Server 2005 32bit Enterprise Edition SP2.
The goal:
We have a large number of text files that we€™re loading into a staging area of a data warehouse (based on SQL Server 2k5, as said above).
We have one €œmain€? SSIS package that takes a list of files to load from an XML file, loops through that list and for each file in the list starts an SSIS package by using €œdtexec€? command. The command is started asynchronously by using system.diagnostics.process.start() method. This means that a large number of SSIS packages are started in parallel. These packages perform the actual loading (with BULK insert).
I have successfully run the loading process from the command prompt (using the dtexec command to start the main package) a number of times.
In order to move the loading to a production environment and schedule it, we have set up an SQL Server Agent job. We€™ve created a proxy user with the necessary rights (the same user that runs the job from command prompt), created an the SQL Agent job (there is one step of type €œcmdexec€? that runs the €œmain€? SSIS package with the €œdtexec€? command).
If the input XML file for the main package contains a small number of files (for example 10), the SQL Server Agent job works fine €“ the SSIS packages are started in parallel and they finish work successfully.
The problem:
When the number of the concurrently started SSIS packages gets too big, the packages start to fail. When a large number of SSIS package executions are already taking place, the new dtexec commands fail after 0 seconds of work with an empty error message.
Please bear in mind that the same loading still works perfectly from command prompt on the same server with the same user. It only fails when run from the SQL Agent Job.
I€™ve tried to understand the limit, when do the packages start to fail, and I believe that the threshold is 80 parallel executions (I understand that it might not be desirable to start so many SSIS packages at once, but I€™d like to do it despite this).
Additional information:
The dtexec utility provides an error message where the package variables are shown and the fact that the package ran 0 seconds, but the €œMessage€? is empty (€œMessage: €œ).
Turning the logging on in all the packages does not provide an error message either, just a lot of run-time information.
The try-catch block around the process.start() script in the main package€™s script task also does not reveal any errors.
I€™ve increased the €œmax worker threads€? number for the cmdexec subsystem in the msdb.dbo.syssubsystems table to a safely high number and restarted the SQL Server, but this had no effect either.
The request:
Can anyone give ideas what could be the cause of the problem?
If you have any ideas about how to further debug the problem, they are also very welcome.
Thanks in advance!

We recently moved our SQL Server 7.0 database from one machine to another, and I think the guys who did it didn't do things quite right...
None of the DTS packages work anymore....
the little lines (for lack of better terms here..) that contain the SQL statements and such, well, if I try to edit the properties of them, I get an error that says this:
Error Source: Microsoft OLD DB Provider for SQL Server
Error Description:[DBMSSOCN]General network error. Check your network documentation.
My guess is that the things are looking for Server X and now they're on Server Y. Problem is, that when I try to edit the properties of the 'little line'...that error pops up...and then the window that comes up with the tabs across the top of it that lets me enter the SQL statement disappears right away and I can't make the changes?!?
Other question:
The SQL Server is now on a machine that's like 3000 miles away. Right now I use pcAnyWhere to log into it and use the SQL Enterprise Manager there.
Well, I've got SQL Server installed on this machine here...surely there is a way to have this SQL Enterprise Manager here connect to the remote SQL Server so I can play with it that way instead of the pcanywhere mess...right? Seems logical....
Thanks......

I have a stored procedure in SQL Server 2008 (the stored proc is actually stored there with a name) and I can run it with the 'exec storedproc_name insert_date' command (my stored proc needs a date to run).
The stored proc just creates a temp table with some data (but we can ignore this bit).
I only need a way to run this stored proc remotely (I dont care about getting the data, I just need to run it in the server).
Is there any way of doing this? Preferably via a unix system? I just need a way to run the 'exec' command. Returning data etc. isn't needed.
I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?

I would like to build a C# program to connect to a remote SQL2005 server.
Then call the server SSIS to run a .exe in the server (The .exe file already exist in the SQL2005 server)
I have refer to the following webpage http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CallSSISFromCSharp.asp
I can connect to the SQL server by the "LoadFromSqlServer" method with SQL server login A/C.
However, the SSIS failed. I believe it should be due to the window authentication issue. During SSIS execution, the SQL server login A/C does not have the access right to run the .exe file
Could anyone suggest the solution?
Thanks.
Hi,
when call a sub-package from the parent package with the executeoutofprocess=true I have about 5-10 sec delay before sub-package starts running. ( this is a big delay for me as the sub_package is in a foreach loop)
the sub_package itself it's very simple and contains just one script task with a small script in in it.
even if this delay is for validation I still can't understand why it is taking 5-10 ses.
cheers
Hi everybody,
I have to create a package that executes other packages I've already created... Every one of these packages run with the same Configuration File, but if I try to execute the main one, including the path of the file, I get errors from the other packages because they can't find it... How can I manage to pass this file and its content to the other packages??
Here a little explanation of te process:
Main Package needs configuration file X.dtsConfig, and calls: package1, which needs configuration file X.dtsConfig; package2, .......
I hope everything is clear...
hi all!
i have two packages, one that adds data to a Fact Table (package1) and one that updates the dimension tables (package2). i want package1 to run all day, as it waits for incoming csv files and i want it to stop every night at 11pm and run package2, which updates dimension tables. then package2 should stop at say, 1am and package1 would run again. i tried setting the Daily Frequency schedule of package1 to occur every 24hours starting at 3pm and ending at 3:15pm, just to test if it will stop at 3:15pm, but it didnt. how can i create a job schedule that will perform the behavior? thanks a lot!
