I have noticed a strange behaviour when running some of my packages with dtexec. The packages use EventHandlers to log information to a database using the Execute SQL Task with the query stored in a variable. This variable is further part of the package configuration, so that I can change the query without changing the package itself. Now, this all works fine, until I made a typo in the query causing the syntax to be invalid, ie changing SELECT to SELCET. Now, one would expect the package to fail, and it does, if I run it through the debugger in Visual Studio, but when I run it using dtexec it just hangs and I have to kill the process using the Task Manager.
Peculiarly, I tried doing the same thing with a task that was not contained in an EventHandler, and then the package fails as expected, both when running it in the debugger and using dtexec. This is not a major problem, but what I am afraid of is that one day the database server will be down and cause an error in the Execute SQL Task in the EventHandler, causing dtexec to hang indefinitely. Has anyone else had problems like these?
We have a problem with visual studio. It hangs when i use the "execute package" option. New packages are running correctly but the packages which i've already built are not executing anymore...Any ideas to get things on track again?
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 .
I have 2 DB on SQL Server 7, that are synchronized by a continuous transactional replication. The tables have a primary key on an identity column. In order to avoid conflicts, the identities have different seeds, and increment equal to 10. When the server shuts unexpectedly, the current value for the identity column goes out of sync, that is it assumes the greatest value inserted. The workaround is to run DBCC checkident to correct the identity value.
For 15 days now my SQL server service is terminating with the following error
MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 2 Time(s). This service terminates and restarts automatically and sometimes doesnt restart we have to mannuly start it again. Event ID: 7034.
Version Details
Version: MSSQL Server 2000 Service Pack: 3a Build: 8.0.0.760
I have checked many forums most of them suggest to apply the latest service pack. But the same error has been reported by sites having SP4 also. Kindly help.
HII have server MSDE 2000 SP3frequently server stopped, and print in log file information:1)17310 :SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 1984 generated fatal exception c0000005EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.2)17311 :SQL Server is aborting. Fatal exception c0000005 caught.3)The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.
I have been looking for some information regarding an error I have gotten several times on my production SQL Server 2000 box. Operating System is Windows Server 2003. The Reporting Services version is 8.00.878.00
Error is as follows: The ReportServer service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 3 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
The service restarts normally, or at least seems to, and Reporting Services work with no other issues. Received the error this morning (11/14); last time was on 10/31.
AppData entry is present under the above registry entries with the value of "%USERPROFILE%Application Data
But the problem still exists.
Please Help, Thanks in advance, Sonia

Can anyone give me some advice on what I need to correct in order to be able to install SQl server Express? Thanks very much in advance.
I´m running WinXP SP2 with 1GB RAM, dotNET 2.0. and a previous install of SQL Server 2000. I have tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express and it fails early in the installation: "SQL Server Setup unexpectedly failed. For more information, review the Setup summary log file...". The log file is: (!)

I have tried named instances, reinstall SQL Server 2000, search readme, kb, forums about the problem....nothing
we run ssrs 2005 sp2 hotfix applied - how do we troubleshoot a problem where the report server service is stopping unexpectedly several times a day. When this happens please tell me what happens to the reports that are currently running. I believe that
1) a current subscription that is running will fail - not sure if it will try to restart itself 3 times or not
2) connection to the report server db cannot be made when that occurs
this is a huge problem for us and we dont know what is causing it or how to fix it. Any suggestions would help. I can tell you that our customers flood the server with subscriptions
We are running SQL Server 2000 with SP4. This server has been running for the past six months with no SQL server problems. A Max of 10 users have access to the application running on this server.
The Event Viewer Log shows the Source: MSSQLServer Category: (2) Type: Error EventID: 17052 Description: The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.
No other error messages were seen in the SQL server log or windows event viewer. The time when it terminated was not during peak load/activity.
The server is Windows 2003 with SP1. Any help would be appreciated.
The min reqt olny says Windows XP Service Pack 2. So, whether it is Pro or Home I assume this Edition will run. MY system is XP Home SP2 with 2GB RAM and Dual Core Intel Processor. Is this the problem? There is no error displayed on the summary.txt and I do not know how to read the log file. Pls help... Or do I need to upgrade to XP Pro?

I tried to load a fixed width flat file with around 300,000 rows. However, only the first 8xxxx rows were loaded to the destineation table and the rest row were loading blank records. There was no error message showing during package execution. I've tried to split the file in half and the result was the same. So it wasn't the data file problem.
Would there be any buffering issue I need to cater for inside the package? Thanks!
When i try to install, the filed are extracted and then i get this error message:
SQL Server Setup unexpectedly failed. For more information, review the Setup summery log file in %ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGSummary.txt
I open the file and this is all i get:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.3042.00 ============================== OS Version : Microsoft Windows XP Professional

I looked in this forum at others peoples threads and it seems as if they all have a lot larger Summary.txt file. I never had any other verson of SQL Server installed on this computer and i just uninstalled .net 2.0 framework and reinstalled it.
My computer runs Windows XP Pro with SP 2, AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ 2.20 GHz, 1.00GB of RAM.
Anyone have any clue why the installation wont even start?
Maybe I am missing something completely obvious but as far as I can tell I aren't!
I am trying to simply pass a parameter to a stored proc to return results. Easy? So I thought so too...
This is my stored procedure below (in it's ALTER PROCEDURE form):
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spd_Tester]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@Check int
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM tblPerson
WHERE PersonID = @Check
END
Now I know this is a SQL Server forum but I figure anyone who reads this probably does some application programming as well, so here is the code that calls this. It's in VBA using Access 2003. I figure the error is being returned from SQL Server Express so that's why I have come to this forum instead of an Access forum! I could be wrong though...
Here is the code that calls this:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
'Run sql command With cmd .ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
Now I figure this should work. However, I get the error "Procedure or function 'spd_Tester' expects parameter '@Check', which was not supplied." when I execute the procedure with the number 1 in the txtFirstName text box.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?? The tblPerson table has data in it, if I run the select from a query window, specifying a value for @Check, it works just fine.
I have a fairly simple data flow task that loads data from one table (OLE DB Source) into another table (OLE DB Destination). The data type for one of the pairs of columns is nVarChar(120) and it contains version information that looks like a decimal. When I run the export, the destination has a trailing zero added after the decimal point as if it were a numeric column which invalidates our comparisons (string 1.0 is not the same as string 1.00). There is no cast or convert done to this column, it is a straight copy. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix?
I have a command line as following, with DTEXEC to launch the execution of a package and to set a value (13335) of an user variable called CIB (string type):
But I have got an error message saying that the object is not known in the package. My variable does exist in the variable window of the dataflow part. Thank you for telling me what to set so that the variable can be set by the command line.
I understand to schedule an SSIS package to run, I need to use the dtexec utility. I want to schedule the job right within SQL. I walked through how to set up the job, but I really could not decipher the proper syntax to use as a Step.
I have the following:
dtexec /File "C:...file.dtsx"
Is the the proper way to schedule and execute an SSIS package or is there some other way I should be doing this. The pacakge will run unattended nightly. I am using SQL Server 2005.
I have lots of Stored procedures in which we use 'dtsrun' to run DTS Packages. Now, after I upgrade the server to SQL 2005 will I have to change all the Stored procedure's to reflect 'dtexec' instead of 'dtsrun'?
Hi I have a SSIS package which pulls files from a network share and loads data into SQLServer Database. When I execute the application using DTExecUI , It runs fine without any issues , but where as when I run it using the command line arguments, It seems to go in sleep mode and nothing happens. I need to kill the package from Task manager. Following is the command I use to run my application
(Optional). Specifies a configuration file to extract values from. Using this option, you can set a run-time configuration that differs from the configuration that was specified at design time for the package. You can store different configuration settings in an XML configuration file and then load the settings before package execution by using the /ConfigFile option.
Does this mean that I can specify which configuration file to use during runtime? Or is just because I'm too desperate for that, I understood that way
The DTEXEC Utility has the capability of returning ReturnCodes which have specific meanings e.g.
ReturnCode=3 means: The package was canceled by the user.
Is it possible to set my own ReturnCode values?
For example, my Package contains a Script Task which contains code to search a folder for a file. If the file cannot be found then I make the Script Task fail and hence the Package fails. But, when the Package is invoked by the DTEXEC utility, then the ReturnCode is always set to 1. Is it posssible to set the ReturnCode from within the Package (in, say, a Script Task in the Event Handler) to a different value?
It is necessary to be able to set custom application-specific return codes because these return codes are passed to the Batch Scheduler which alerts Operations (Support) staff in the event of failure. Meaningful (custom) ReturnCodes expedite problem solving and are (usually) mandatory in large production environments.
If it is not possible to make a Package return my own returncodes via DTEXEC then can you suggest alternative solutions, please?
I'm trying to execute DTExec from a workstation and I got some help from a different group without luck maybe someone here can help me.
This is what I try so far.
1. My package run in command line from my sql box using dtexec with parameters. 2. Set the package with DontSaveSensitive and import into IS under MSDB with the same option setup. 3. Set package role to public. 4. Share DTS folder with everyone permission just for testing. 5. Execute the package from a workstation using //sqlServerbox/DTS/BINN/dtexec /dts "msdb/mypackage" /SER "MySQLServer" /set package.variables[myvariable].Value;"myvalue1,myvalue2" (myvariable is string and I can pass multiple values separate by commas) 6. Still getting error: Error: 2007-02-09 10:31:34.31 Code: 0xC0010018 Source: Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Description: Error loading a task. The contact information for the task is "E xecute DTS 2000 Package Task;Microsoft Corporation; Microsoft SQL Server v9; ? 2 004 Microsoft Corporation; All Rights Reserved;http://www.microsoft.com/sql/supp ort/default.asp;1". This happens when loading a task fails. End Error
I can't crack this problem and my Google-Fu is failing me. I am using DTEXEC from a stored procedure to set a global variable in an SSIS package and execute the SSIS package, but I am getting an error. I will include the SQL code and the error that I am getting:
Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 9.00.1399.06 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

Started: 3:17:02 PM Finished: 3:17:02 PM Elapsed: 0.375 seconds NULL
All the examples I find over DTEXEC seem to follow what I am doing in the code and making variables in an SSIS package isn't rocket science, so I don't understand where I am going wrong.
I have seen people suggest indirect configuration as a solution, but when I set it up (using the environmental variable TEMP from the dropdown) it doesn't seem to help anything. I have used the exact path from the configuration wizard, though, so I'm pretty sure I have the path right.
HI, with a dataflow that has delay validation property = true, DTExec will not try to validate it when I call it with /validate option. Is there a way to see if the dataflow validate even though the delay validation property is set to true?
It was quite strange with dtexec.... The problem started with my package being scheduled under the SQL Agent. I have two packages... one with simple SQL tasks and another with complex loop,sql tasks and activex scripts. Both using the XML configuration files for those DB Connection strings, user names and passwords. First I tried to schedule the two packages under Sql agent using SSIS steps. Both failed and I found out that I should set the ProtectionLevel to non-default. So I set the protection level to 'DontSaveSensitive' and it works fine with the first package but the second package failed. After I tried many way (changing configuration files, setting and reinstalling the packages inside SQL DB etc..) I found a blog that I should try with CmdExe step in Sql agent scheduler rather than SSIS step. So I tried but still failing. the message said dtexec could not find the configuration xml file. Even I tried in the command prompt with the same command, it couldn't find the configuration. If I went into the directory where the configuration files are stored and run the command, it run fine. Seem like dtexec could not read the configuration from other directory. but still the sqlagent is failing... Somebody have a clue?
In my previous post here: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 Michael Entin provides a number of responses to my questions regarding programatic execution of remote SSIS packages.
Having experienced some significant reliability problems with the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime components from an ASP.NET process (the page either times out, or inevitably just stops responding), I have been prototyping the DTExec command option which Michael suggests as being a better approach to remote programability.
So, off I've been prototyping this all day today...
I have a stored procedure that wraps a call to xp_cmdshell which takes the DTS (DTEXEC) params as a big long argument. This scenario would hopefully allow me to call the sproc from an ASP.NET application.
The proc is deployed to a SQL 2005 machine running SSIS (which I now understand is a REQUIREMENT for targetting SSIS "remotely"). The package targets a seperate SQL 2000 machine and includes two connection managers which are set to use SSPI. I use configuration option files to allow for configurable connection manager target/sources.
In this scenario, it does not seem that the DTEXEC command runs in the same context as the caller. and as a result, a peculiar account called MACHINENAME$ is used (where MachineName is literally the name of the SQL 2005 machine). The account authentication fails (obviously) when the package tries to establish a connection to any of the connection managers because MACHINENAME$ does not exist on the connection manager servers.
Based on the following excerpt from the MSDN doc on xp_cmdshell, it would seem that MACHINENAME$ is probably the LOCAL SYSTEM, which is the process tha the SQL Server Service is running under:
When xp_cmdshell is invoked by a user who is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role, xp_cmdshell will be executed under the security context in which the SQL Server service is running. When the user is not a member of the sysadmin group, xp_cmdshell will impersonate the SQL Server Agent proxy account, which is specified using xp_sqlagent_proxy_account. If the proxy account is not available, xp_cmdshell will fail. This is true only for Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows 2000. On Windows 9.x, there is no impersonation and xp_cmdshell is always executed under the security context of the Windows 9.x user who started SQL Server.
Obviously, settting the ENTIRE SQL Server service to run as a fixed account or even a domain account is probably not appropriate for client sites. Any opinion to the contrary is welcome.
In reading Kirk Haselden's walkthrough for setting up a SQL Agent Proxy, this seems incredibly involved. Before I go through this exercise, can anyone validate that this is the way to go for doing SSPI?
A work-around is to use SQL Server Auth for the connection managers and use configuration files to try to obfuscate these details, but my preference would be SSPI/Windows Integrated.
Hi, I have a package which has 2 file system tasks and 2 data flow tasks all in a for each loop container. if i execute the package from the development studio its executes fine but when i try to run it from the command prompt using the dtexec utility..it just runs upto the first data flow task and then it hangs unexpectedly. Any help on this would be really appreciated.
I have a legacy extraction ("E") .NET 1.1 application that is still going to be the driving force for our ETL process. We are going to be utilizing SSIS for "T" and "L". Now, the "E" phase is running on an application server where we have .NET 1.1 framework installed and working. The SSIS packages are running on a separate SQL Server. The problem here is - how do we call the SSIS package and be able to pass in the right parameters from this .NET app that runs on a separate box? We would like to use DTEXEC to call the remote SSIS packages through Integrated Security. The SSIS packages are stored as File System packages.
