Hello,
I am trying to create a directory containing the date and then copy all the files in the current directory to it.
If I run the T-SQL script found below within Query Analyser it works fine (directory is created and files are copied in to it).
But if I run it as SQL task within DTS, only the directory is created. The files are not copied in to it!?!
I thought it maybe a permissions problem, but the SQL Server/Agent account is a local administrator and has sysadmin role with SQL Server.
I would be grateful of any assistance in this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
SQL:
declare @directoryname varchar(200)
declare @doscmd varchar(255)
select @directoryname = 'e:Audit_table_archive' + rtrim(cast(day(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(month(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(year(getdate())as char))
select @doscmd = 'mkdir ' + @directoryname
exec master..xp_cmdshell @doscmd
select @doscmd = 'copy e:Audit_table_archive*.* e:Audit_table_archive' + rtrim(cast(day(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(month(getdate())as char)) + rtrim(cast(year(getdate())as char)) + '*.*'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @doscmd

hi everybody
My requirement is, I have to transfer database backup files from one server to another server to take tape backup. Generally in my backup folder there will be 4days backups. I want to schedule a job so that after database backed up, today’s backup file only copied to the other server. I wrote following code, upto xp_cmdshell every thing is working fine.
But xp_cmdshell statement is giving error. I have to use variable value with sp_cmdshell. Please give me the solution for this.
declare @year1 as varchar(4),@month1 as varchar(2),@day1 varchar(2),@filename varchar(40)
set @year1=ltrim(str(year(getdate())))
if month(getdate())<10
set @month1='0'+ltrim(str(month(getdate())))
else
set @month1=ltrim(str(month(getdate())))
if day(getdate())-1 <10
set @day1='0'+ltrim(str(day(getdate())-1))
else
set @day1=ltrim(str(day(getdate())-1))
set @filename='EMPTest_db_'+ @year1+@month1+@day1+'*.bak'
xp_cmdshell @a
thanks

I am trying to run a Visual Basic Script using the xp_cmdshell stored procedure. When I try to run the file, the MS Script Debugger application is started.
I run the script like this: "xp_cmdshell 'D:ScriptFilesSpaceMail.vbs'"
I can run it from the DOS prompt successfully, but not from Query Analyzer. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent the MS Script Debugger from running?

SQL 7.0
I have given a non sa user permissions to run xp_cmdshell via his NT logon. When he runs it and does a "dir" of the server it works. When he trys to do a "dir" of his own machine it comes up with "Logon failure unknown user name or bad password".
SQL Agent is running under a domain admin account. I have placed SQLAgentCmdExec in the servers local administrators group. I have de-selected the option from SQLAgent propertiesJob System which restricts non sa users executing CmdExec stuff. I did attempt to Reset Proxy Account and Reset Proxy Password. When I clicked on these it just gave me message that the account and password had successfully been reset without asking me for username, password or domain.

I tried to use the external procddure - xp_cmdshell - to copy a file from a local drive to a network drive, but failed. Yet the attempt succeeded if I tried to copy a file from one place to another in local drive.
It seems that SQL Server 6.5/7.0 did not recognize any network drive.
I greatly appreciate your help/assistance and/or any hint(s). Thanks a lot

Hi there!
Is it possible to supply variable for the xp_cmdshell parameter?
here's an example:
declare @@okay char(20)
select @@okay = "dir c:mssqlinn"
exec master..xp_cmdshell @@okay
but this doesn't work. is there any workaround on this? instead
of writing a new extended sp to cater for this.
thanks in advance.

how to enable xp_cmdshell

Basic problem:
When xp_cmdshell interacts with FTP it doesn't log the FTP return codes.
History:
I found Nigel Rivett's T-SQL FTP scripts http://www.nigelrivett.net/ and concatenated them together with some modifications so I could have a process that actually errors when an FTP fails.
The process FTP's a file, disconnects, and then reconnects to do a dir and then select from the returned listing to see if the file name exists.
I wanted to review the initial log from the put and check for a valid FTP return code of 250 that says "Transfer completed successfully"
Log Snippets:
A normal FTP log shows:
ftp> put foo 'mainframe.node.structure.foo'
200 Port request OK.
125 Storing data set MAINFRAME.NODE.STRUCTURE.FOO
250 Transfer completed successfully.
ftp: 7972888 bytes sent in 99.63Seconds 80.03Kbytes/sec.
ftp> quit
221 Quit command received. Goodbye.
xp_cmdshell log shows (with FTP debug on) shows:
7 put foo 'mainframe.node.structure.foo'
8 PORT 10,99,11,16,7,30
9 ---> STOR MAINFRAME.NODE.STRUCTURE.FOO
10 ---> quit
11 QUIT
12 (null)
As you can see, the return codes and some other messages are missing.
I've messed around with various options and can't seem to get any return codes in the log at all.
Any ideas?

In SQL Server 2005, once in a while, the xp_cmdshell gives the
following error.
"An error occurred during the execution of xp_cmdshell. A call to
'CreateProcess' failed with error code: '5'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error
15121). The step failed.".
Does Looping has a limitation on the number of times it can call
xp_cmdshell.
It works good whenever we call it individually.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Please could someone give me a pointer on how to resolve this no doubt basic problem I am having. I am new to creating DTS and the security is making go around in circles.
I am executing a DTS package using the xp_cmdshell in a stored procedure. This stored procedure is executed from a web application. So when the stored procedure is executed the connection to SQL Server database is not a WINDOWS account and is not an admin role but instead a database user set up with a public role. When I go to execute this stored procedure it fails with the error:
xp_cmdshell failed to execute because current security context is not sysadmin and proxy acount is not setup correctly. For more information, refer to Book Online, search for topic related to xp_sqlagent_proxy_account.
My stored procedure looks as follows:
CREATE PROC UP_ExecuteDTS
@GlobalVar1 varchar(255), --Global Variable 1
@PkgName varchar(255),
@Server varchar(255) = '(local)',
@ServerUser varchar(255) = Null,
@ServerPWD varchar(255) = Null
AS
declare @cmd nvarchar(4000)
set @cmd = 'DTSRun /S "'+ @Server + '" /N "' + @PkgName + '" ' --/G "{1B29D7A1-B27A-4355-8B02-C58221A6A0BF}" '
set @cmd = @cmd + '/A "FileName":"8"="' + @GlobalVar1 + '" ' + '/W "0" /E '
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmd
GO
Is there a way to allow the database user calling the stored procedure to execute the DTS?
I was thinking of adding a proxy account but am not too sure how to do this as it is not a Windows account. Does the window account have to exist etc? I was thinking of the inserting the lines below before exec the xp_cmdshell
--Code to authenticate User to execute DTS
SET @ServerUser = IsNull(@ServerUser, '')
IF @ServerUser = 'SQLConnectionUser'
BEGIN
EXEC sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account @ServerUser, @ServerPWD
END
I would be most grateful if anyone could help.
Thanks
