Execute Sql Server Agent Job Task - Job Immediately Returns Success... However Agent Job Is Still Running???
Nov 30, 2006
when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success.
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0).
Started: 3:37:41 PM
Finished: 3:37:43 PM
Elapsed: 2.719 seconds
However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.
I'm trying to run a task that executes a script file (cmd). When i run it with in bids with my own users (domain admin) it works. When i start a cmd prompt and try to run the cmd file directly from the network location where it is it works (with my own rights and with the sql server agent user).
Now when i try to run in from smss > agent jobs > job and run job it never completes. Im not getting any error message either it just keeps on running on the step ??? It seems like a rights issue, but the account running the sql server agent is able to execute the cmd file directly from the command prompt.
There are no errors in any error logs anywhere and no error is displayed...
Ps. Im running the job step as a integration service pacgake.
I have an execute process task in SSIS that executes a .Net program.When this is running as a Sql Server Agent job in Sql Server 2005, I have no issues. The operating system of the server is Windows Server 2003 R2.
Now I'm trying to get this working as a Sql Server Agent job in Sql Server 2012. The operating system of the server is Windows Server 2012 R2. And now I have issues.
If I run the SSIS package in Visual Studio debug mode, I have no issues! It's only when I try running the same package from a Sql Server Agent job that there are problems. The .Net program errors out with a System.TypeInitializationException.
I thought this might be an issue running the .Net program as 64 bit so I changed the agent setting to 32 bit. That didn't work. I thought it might be an issue with authorization (since I can run it in debug with me as the user). I put in a class in the program that changes the user through impersonation. That didn't work either.
Since I don't have a full-blown version of Visual Studio on the database server, I haven't been able to capture the error and debug the program to see where it is blowing up.
why something like this would work in Sql Server 2005/Windows 2003 but not in Sql Server 2012/Windows 2012 when run as an agent job? And on top of that, why would it work when I run it manually in debug mode but not when run as an agent job?
I am having trouble running a package in SQL Agent. The step involves zipping up a number of files using SQL Agent. I know in the error message it states "Access is denied" but I can run the package manually in BIS. Also I have applied a SQL proxy to the step using my own credentials which have rights to the file location, but still no luck.
I get the following error:
Error: 2008-03-10 09:04:02.04 Code: 0xC002F304 Source: Call ZipFiles Batch Execute Process Task Description: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access is denied".

Hey everyone --I've been having this problem for a couple weeks and was hoping maybesomeone can help out a little bit.Synopsis:This SQL agent job contains code to perform a full database backup withverification and is writing to a local disk array. I typically also usesome code for reporting - declaring variables and inserting them intoa linked server database that I use to monitor all my database backups.I have tested and used the code repeatedly and am confident it works.I have ran the code through Query Analyzer and it completes withsuccess.I have removed reporting code & used only the backup statement & itfails.I have 4 other Agent jobs doing other various tasks that function asexpected.I have tried deleting & recreating the job & it still fails.When I enable logging the application log has only one entry for SQLAgent:Event Type:WarningEvent Source:SQLSERVERAGENTEvent Category:Job EngineEvent ID:208Date:1/4/2005Time:9:36:00 AMUser:N/AComputer:ComputerNameDescription:SQL Server Scheduled Job 'DBName Full DB Backup'(0xA4B14FB5A5DE964B8340423E4AC4B67B) - Status: Failed - Invoked on:2005-01-04 09:36:00 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked byUser domainUserName. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Exec Prcoess task with source : ftp destination :ftpunzip work directory ftpunzip executable : c:Program FilesWinZip
i am using expressing.
It is doing the unzip but getting this error
package process on server server1 has failed within the Task 'Unzip Files' with the following errors: > > File/Process "WZUNZIP.EXE" does not exist in directory "c:Program FilesWinZip".
It is SQL server 7. Scheduled jobs were running fine until the hard drive crasked. Replace the hard drive and restored the dabases. However, all the scheduled jobs cannot run. I created new jobs using database maintenance plan and it still doesn't work. the same error occurs when viewing the Job history.
sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
However, if I create a job by right click on the database and select backup database. This job runs fine.
What should I do to make jobs created by the database maintenance plan running again?
If a job is currently running and I want to disable it so that it does not run as scheduled for the following night, will it disrupt the current process?
I've tried finding an answer to this on this website but I don't see any. I'm running SQL Enterprise Manager v8.0 and have a job in the SQL server agent folder that won't run as scheduled nor will it run manually if I Right-Click and choose Start Job.
It's designed to run a DTS. I can run the DTS manually without errors but the job won't run it for me. I will try to provide as many details in this post as I can in hopes that someone who is more experienced at this can help me.
DTS DETAILS The DTS is designed to transfer data from a table on one server and transfer it through a firewall to another server into a table on that server. Then delete the entries from the originating table. This works very well if I run it manually. The purpose of deleting entries from the web server is for security. Once the data in on the other side of the firewall it's safe.
The job however will not run either manually or from it's schedule. I've tried creating a new job and setting up a very simple schedule that runs daily every 2 minutes for example. I've played around with different times but no luck. So I will try and provide you with job details below:
JOB DETAILS Name: TransferData Enabled, Target = Local Server Category: Uncategorized Local Description: Execute package: TransferData
STEPS ID: 1 Step Name: TransferData Type: Operating System Command On Success: Quit with Success On Failure: Quit with Failure

I only have two SQL books to reference. This is a production fire to put out and I really need the help here as I am not a certified SQL guru.
I hope I have provided enough information here for someone to help. I'm happy to provide an email address for easier contact should you request it.
Hi, I ahve attached the bmp doc that will show my screen snapshot. My SQL server Agent service indicator is not showing green as like other server. I have started the serice and running fine. I don't have any problem running the job. My curious is why that indicator is not showing up. Thanks, Ravi
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "'I:MyFolderMyRptsMyApplicationMyDatabase.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.".
The above path "I:...." is mapped on the server that SQL Server is running on.
This package runs with NO problems in MS Visual Studio.
I have created a stored procedure for a routine task to be performed periodically in my application. Say, i want to execute my stored procedure at 12:00 AM daily.
How can I add my stored procedure to the SQL server agent jobs??
Hi. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem where nothing seems to be wrong with the server, and SQL Server Agent is up and running, but jobs fail. We had a job run at midnight, and it was the last successful run. Every job failed after that, with an error stating "Unable to retrieve steps for job..." There doesn't seem to be any reason for the problem. The jobs were kicked off manually and they all ran.
The only other error messages we could find were in the Application Event Viewer on the server. But the first error happened days ago and said this: "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( .NET Runtime ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Unable to open shim database version registry key - v2.0.50727.00000."
Since then, every few seconds this error occurred: "Windows cannot load extensible counter DLL MSSQLServerOLAPService, the first DWORD in data section is the Windows error code."
We turned off the performance monitor counters and that error stopped. But we still have no idea if that was the cause of the problem.
This isn't the first time we've had an issue with jobs failing because the steps couldn't be 'found', while SQL Server Agent was up and running.
I was working on some reports on SSRS. Now I cant view those reports coz I can not open report manager. I noticed that SQLSERVER and SQL Server agent has stopped running in my local machince. But Other services are running properly (SSIS, SSRS, SSAS). When I go to SQL Configuration manager and try to run them, I get the following error massege.
" The request failled or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details. "
So now I can not connect database engine in my local machine through management studio. When I try to do that, I get the following error massage.
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"
Also I can not access reportserver data base and reportservertemDB.
If I reinstall SQL Server again, what would happen? Would I still be able to use and view my old reports? Please can anyone help me to get this worked again correctly?
I get 2 errors when I run a job in sql server agent 2005 0xc0202009 and 0x80040E2. I cannot see why I am getting these errors, when I run the job with dtexec it is successful. Also when I run it in the debugger or run the executeable it is successful. But when I try to run it with the agent it fails. Any Ideas would be greatly appriciated.
Okay, i've got an ETL package which works flawless, we've created a scheduled job for it which also worked. This ETL accesses a flat file located on a server on a different location in the same domain.
Last week we start a migration to a new network, the location where the flat file is stored has already moved to the new domain but the SQL server agent is still on the old domain. There is a trust between the 2 domains, the network user from the old domain has been added on the server in the new domain where the flatfile is located.
If i run the etl package manually it works flawless, now if i run the etl using the SQL server agent it won't run anymore.
I get the following error:

Don't tell me its a problem related to the user that the SQL Server Agent is set to because its set to OldDomaindwh which is the same user i use to login on the server where i can manually run it without problems. The problem only occures when i run it using the SQL server agent which uses the same user to execute packages.
This is a very difficult problem i doubt anyone here will be able to crack this nut, but if they do i'll be very impressed because it would require a real smart network admin with SQL experiance to figure this one out...
Hi, I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me and realise by looking round that is a reasonably common problem, but it€™s starting to drive me mad now!!
I€™ve got an SSIS package which takes data from an excel spreadsheet and using a stored procedure updates a table in a database, before moving the spreadsheet to another folder once it finishes. This works fine when in the Business Intelligence Design Studio, but when I try to set it up to run from the SQL Server Agent I get nothing but problems. I€™ve had a look around various forums and seen that many people have had this problem and I€™ve followed advice that other people have given, but try as I might nothing will work for me.
Currently I€™m trying to go down the package configurations route. I€™ve enabled the use of package configurations in the development studio and specified the configuration to pick up the destinations, usernames and passwords of everything that I have in the Connection Managers. I then go to the SQL agent and as a step tell it to execute the SSIS package using the package configuration xml file that it has created. Both the SSIS package and the package configuration file are saved and been asked to run from the sql server I will be using. I then go to run the package and it thinks about it for a minute or so before falling over. The history then says the below:

The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "DestinationConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. ... The package execution fa... The step failed.
The DestinationConnectionOLEDB is pointing at a database on the same server as where I have the SSIS package and configuration file stored. I€™ve gone into the xml file and noticed that the passwords aren€™t saved so I€™ve added the passwords manually into the file after everytime it says username=sa but this hasn€™t made a difference. I€™ve also made sure that the package is saved to dontsaveencrypted.
I€™ve gone through the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760
and tried to use things such as credentials but these haven€™t helped either.
I€™m really not sure why its giving me such hassle, I have the SSIS package on the sql server, I have its package configuration on the same server, I have the databases it wants to access on the same server, I€™m using the sa account wherever I can to make sure I have no access / rights issues, so I really have no idea why this won€™t work. All I can think of is that the sql2k5svc account that the sql agent job then runs under doesn€™t have authority to get to the database or the package configuration file, but I€™ve added that account to have full control on the database that it will accessing, but again no joy. How do I change it so that another account can be used to run this, one that I know has all the authority required to access everything it should?? And why would the login for sa be failing when it€™s the highest level account??
I€™ve read so many different articles on this problem and tried to follow so many different resolutions that I really don€™t know how any of this is meant to work anymore!!
awhile back someone (i think it was darren) submitted a post which had a code example of using sql server agent stored procedures to execute a package. i searched for the post, but i didn't find it.
anyway, can someone please re-post that example or provide a similar one?
I am new to installation of SQL Server 2005..I wanted to know while selecting Service Account Screen why Avoid running SQL Server Agent as the Local System account.????
I have setup a step in SQL Server Agent to run a SSIS package that I have created. However the step fails straight away and refers me to the history log, which doesnt seem to show what the problem is.
I've tried running the package manually through dtexec.exe and it runs through fine. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Hello, I have created a package that runs without problem. I run the package with the command dtexec /F "package_name.dtsx" > package_name.txt.
Then I run the same package from SQL Server Agent, everything is OK
Then, I tried to edit the command line to have the output file, but I got an error.
The command line is: dtexec /F "package_name.dtsx" MAXCONCURRENT "-1" / CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E > package_name.txt. (MAXCONCURRENT "-1" / CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E are created by default)
We just moved source server to newer, bigger box ... Windows 2003 and Active Directory ... Snapshot agent worked but distribution failed ... Same login as on older machine, login is sysadm, used DCOMCNFG to allow ability to launch process ... What are we missing?
I try to create a SSIS package only use SQL server agent job tasks(some in 2000 and some in 2005) in control flow. Basically if the first secheduled job failed the package will stop. I linked the first and the second job with 'on success' precedence constraint. But when I build or run the package it always return execution success and run the second one. And I know for sure the first job is failed through enterprise manager - management - jobs
Could somebody advice what could possibly went wrong?
hi, can anyone explain, how to execute package with sql server agent:
the problem is::
i made a integration service package (in visual studio 2005). When I 'm in visual studio and do "execute" the package it works well. Then I build a dtsx file. When i double click on it, it opens and if i do execute, it works well.
I want to execute the package every week automatically. I write a job in SQL server agent, in Steps I choosed Type=SQL server Integration service packege, then General->packacge source -> file system, and then wrote where the dtsx file is (which was built). "Run as" I choose my user name.
then i'm trying to start a job, but it fails, and writes "The package execution failed."
When I give job Id in filter of this query this will give job status of "Success" but actually my job is currently in executing stage. I want to get all jobs that are currently in executing status.
Use msdb go select distinct j.Name as "Job Name", --j.job_id, case j.enabled when 1 then 'Enable' when 0 then 'Disable'
My package is connecting to an external data provider using an OLEDB driver . The package runs fine in debug mode.When i tried to run the same from SQL server agent it failed  to aquire the connection. The OLEDB provider does not contain too much of information , ( connection string, initial catalog, blank user name and password).The same package executes successfully if i run using dtexec in BAT file.But if i use the dtexec in sql server job step as operating system command and try to run, the job will fail reporting " can not aquire the connection".
I recently installed standalone version of SQL 2014 Standard on my work computer. I used Access before but I want to use a SQL server instead.
We have a shared drive that a file gets deposited every day at midnight. I want to be able to get this file and import it to the server (its basically a list of names).
Here what I have done so far:
I created the database
Created the file and successfully imported data into it using the Import Data feature.
I saved the SSIS package
Scheduled an Agent Job for this package to run at certain time,daily
At first the jobs would fail with a Access is Denied. I added a user under Credentials with my network account ( have admin rights on the work computer).Also added a Proxy for the Credential user I made.
Jobs fail with a “Cannot open data file” error. I tried changing things here and there, but I can’t get it to work.
Hi guys, I 've been trying to run an integration services package as server agent scheduled task so that I dont have to manually execute the package every 2 hours. I was following how to guide in msdn to set up a server agant task for integration services package but I'm kind a lost. First of all when I ran the Management Studio and connected to the integration services the server agent does not show up it only shows me runing and stored packages. I can access to the server agent when I connect to the database engine but when I create a task and try to add a step to open a integration services package it does not give me the choice in type box. I couldn't figure out the problem. Is there a way to enable server agent to run under integration services too (not just under database engine) if databse engine is the only place server agents works , why dont I see the option to open a ssis package at adding a step to tasks? or is there a way to automate the process to run the package automatically without using the server agent at all?
Thanks, Burak

I am trying to copy a database from our company's external SQL Server(production) to our local SQL Server(development). The Copy Database wizard fails on the step "Execute SQL Server Agent Job". Following is the error in the log file.. Please advise
InnerException-->An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I created a SQL Server Agent job that contains an SSIS task. This task runs succesfully from BIDS. From the SQL Server Agent job it never completes while trying to run the SSIS task that needs to open an WS_FTP command line window to run an sftp step and then close.
I had this working on my local machine, Windows XP SP2, using the SSIS service using the local system account with "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" checked. I needed to check this option for it to work. Otherwise the routine just hung without completing or an error message.
On our test machine running Windows 2003 with SP1 the SQL Server Agent and SSIS services are set to run under the NT Authority/NetworkServices account. I set the permissions on this account based from the list shown at SQL Server 2005 Books Online, Selecting an Account for the SQL Server Agent Service ,http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191543.aspx. I also needed to set folder permission on this account to access the files I wanted to ftp.
What I don't know what to do and that I suspect might be the problem is how to set the equivalent of, "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" for this account. This was only an option under the local system account.
I would appreciate any ideas and guidance on how to deal with this case. Thanks.
