With a DTS scheduled job if I needed to make a modification, I just changed the DTS and saved it, and the job would automatically
Run the latest DTS (so long as the name was the same)
When I migrate a package to SSMS and schedule it , if I need to modify the package, do I need to modify it through BIDS (visual studio), then re-import it to SSMS and then reschedule it ?
Hi - Im migrating packages in dts 2000 to SSIS 2005 using package migrator wizard. It loads a CSV to a table in DB. I need to change the server and file location paths after migration. While changing this, im encountering error - "the acquireconnection method call to connectionmanager failed
Hi I have a strange scheduling problem. I have a job, i test it through BIDS - Works I test it through SSMS - works I run the job - Works I schedule for a run time job - Works I schedule for a recurring job - Works
However (here is the really annoying part) it fails to run at the night run (11.20PM) there are 6 other packages that run fine after it , 11.30 , 1AM .. 4 AM etc ...
So last night I changed the package to run at a later time, and it worked, but the other package that ran 2nd (which now ran 1st) failed !!
its almost as if the 1st package has to fail !!!!! When i look at the history and detailed log all it says is "The step Failed"
anyway , I can set up a workaround by starting a dummy job that is supposed to fail..
FYI the jobs are run under administrator and they are protected by a password (encryptSensitiveWithpassword) .
I have just started to use Integration Services Catalog with SQL Server Agent. After I deploy a new version of the project the any Server Agent job that uses any of dstx still uses the old one. How do I fix this?
I have a package that has a file connection. We have set the connection in the package for development - we also have the connection in a config file.
We are calling the package from SQL Jobs. In the step we call the package in, we try to set the value for the connection in the Data Source tab. However, the package does NOT use the value we enter.
I then removed the connection from the config file - then the package uses what the connection was set to in development. It still will not use what we enter in SQL Jobs.
Furthermore, when we run the package we lose the values that we put in the DataSource tab!!!!
My work around has been to change the SQL Job type from an INtegration services package to a straight command line - this works.
The question is - can you set a package's connection strings from SQL Jobs using the SSIS Job Type ???
On my laptop I've got SQL2005 developper edition SP1 with 3 SSIS-jobs scheduled through SQL-agent.
These 3 SSIS-jobs are in fact maintenance plans which are also used on our production SQLServers.
These take backups (full, transactional), Cleanup old backups, reorganize indexes, update stats ...
One of these jobs runs every hour to take transaction logbackups. After installing SP2 this started failing.
When I opened the sources of that job in visual studio It seemed like the unit of thime was changed for cleanup jobs fe cleanup bak-files after 4 days changed into after 4 hours. The backup task for transactional backups which had the property to do that for all databases whas changed into specific databases which no database selected. Even when I changed that into All databases and saved it, when I opened that backup task again, this was changed back into specific databases with no database selected.
I uninstalled SQL2005 and reinstalled it, including SP1 and everything works well again.
I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having with SSIS. I am attempting to move certain sql agent jobs from our older sql 2000 server to our new sql 2005 server and I am receiving the error [Transfer Jobs Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "The specified '@server' is invalid (valid values are returned by sp_helpserver).".
Does my server name need to be the same if I am using SSIS to transfer jobs? Is there a way to update the server name during the execution process?
This seems like it should be a relatively easy task but has not been so far.
I'm having an issue in SQL Server 2005 with jobs that execute SSIS packages. The jobs run fine for a week or so, then I'll come to find that four or five (of the ten or so jobs) are hung in "executing" status. They seem to hang indefinitely (as some have been "executing" for hours with no end. The schedules of the hung jobs are all different, varying from every 10 minutes to nightly. The packages perform completely diffent tasks, as well. I can't seem to find any common thread with the jobs that get hung, other than they are all executing SSIS packages.
I've tried manually stopping the jobs and restarting the agent and SQL Server but the jobs hang again on there next scheduled run. The only thing that fixes the issue is rebooting the box, and then the jobs hang again in a week or so. Could some sort of memory leak be consuming resources throughout the week and be causing the jobs to eventually hang? I just rebooted the box and the sqlagent90.exe process is currently using about 7mb of memory. I'll keep an eye on it. Any other suggestions?
I've thought of creating another job that stops jobs that are hung, but what's to say that this job won't get hung as well? Plus this seems like a band-aid fix...
I don't recall having these problems until installing SQL Server 2005 SP2. Could this be related? I've searched like crazy and still can't find a resolution to this. It's becoming a big PITA...
Anyway, any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
I would like to create an SSIS package in 2005 and run it in 2000. Is there anyway to do this? Or does SQL Server 2000 have a precursor to SSIS? I am trying to create a job to automatically catch and kill orphaned processes. -Kyle
I have created simple package loading data from source to destination.in BIDS working fine, but when i created job through sql server agent job I am getting below error.
Error:- The Job was invoked by User . The last step to run was step SQL AGENT JOB.
Hello All, My database application has certain stored procedures which are scheduled to run at certain predefined interval (say once everyday). Now to implement this logic I have two options with me, first being to use the EXECUTE SQL TASK of the SSIS package and schedule it using the windows scheduler and the other is to use the SQL Server Agent Jobs and schedule it there itself. Now the current implementation is using the SSIS packages and I even know that the second approach of using the SQL Server Agents Job is better. The only thing I want to know is whether it makes sense to invest time in converting my SSIS packages (20 in all) to SQL Server Agent jobs or not. Can somebody briefly explain or give some pointers regarding the performance benefits of Agent Jobs over the SSIS packages.
Just an FYI for those scheduling SSIS packages on 64bit Itaniums. This came to light when using a 32 bit OLEDB driver on a 64bit Itanium.
When manually executing the package on the server through SQL Management Studio, we got the expected results. However, when we scheduled the package as a job, it failed every time. The error was: "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager 'ConnectionName' failed with error code 0xC0202009€?.
We tried everything to fix this, but nothing worked. Finally we found that when manually running the package, SQL Management Studio was calling the 32bit version of dtexec.exe, while the Agent calls the 64bit version of dtexec.exe. The fix is to not use the "SQL Server Integration Services Package" type in the job step, but use "Operating system (CmdExec)" type. Then in the command box, call the 32bit (x86) version of dtexec.exe.
Environment: SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition x64, 3 server cluster. Two active servers with seperate instances and one passive server. SQL Server was installed on the two active servers.
Problem: When I fail over either of my instances to the passive server in the cluster my maintenance jobs fail to run and there are error messages in the application event viewer "SSIS Subsystem failed to load". I am guessing that all of the needed components are not installed on the passive server? Is this a close guess? If so, exactly what components are missing and do you have to have another license to install them?
I'm trying to execute my package using schedule in SQL Server Agent, I've already tested my package by run it manually in Integration services and it works. The table created, the data from my flat file also inserted into the table correctly and the result return with success.
The question is why when I execute my package using SQL Server Agent, the SQL Server Agent keep executing my package like infinite loop until I stop the job. after I stop the job there is no error generated by sql server. Could you figured why this happen?? I've already tried to upgrade into SP2 and set the package protection level and still not get good result from it. thank you.
I have deployed to production a number of nested packages (parent packages that call child packages) to the SQL msdb via the Save As option rather than building a deployment utility. These packages reference configuration files in a static location off of the c: drive on the production server. In the development environment, when connection changes are made and I run the Reload with Upgrade option the connection manager takes on the new server and user id settings. However, out on the production side I get the following error from the SQL job log:
Cannot load the XML configuration file. The XML configuration file may be malformed or not valid.
As a result the SQL job uses the default connection information which references the development database rather than the production database. I did research the error but found no good solutions. Is there a way to ensure the configuration files are formed correctly and that the packages are correctly referencing the configuration files? We are trying to run the ETL updates via a SQL job.
I have an existing table called OrderHeader with a column called ID. The ID column is currently set as an INT. I want to run a script to modify that column to be an IDENTIY. I've tried the following:
ALTER TABLE OrderHeader ALTER COLUMN [ID] INT IDENTITY
I am trying to modify data in a tble using the Stored Procedure below. It doesnt work properly. I seem to only be getting one character. I think it has something to do with me using "nchar" with the variables. The value I am changing is actually a string.
I have a DTS package package1 which imports an excel sheet into my DataBase.ANd its saved and scheduled and running fine.Actually the excel sheet will be located daily @ c:ruceexceldata.But now we wanted to change the location of the file to c:ruce1ewexceldata
I have a scheduled DTS package which gets the data from a text file and imports into a sql table.The table will be droped and created whenever the DTS package runs.previusly the table has 6 rows and now i wanted to add a column row_id which is having an idenity seed.So how can I modify my package so that I can get done with my requirements.
I have a query that I am working on that involves 2 tables. The query below is working correctly and bringing back the desired results, except I want to add 1 more column of data, and I'm not exactly sure how to write it.
What I want to add is the following data.
For each row that is brought back we want to have the COUNT(*) of users who joined the website (tbluserdetails) where their tbluserdteails.date is > the tblreferemails.referDate
Effectively we are attempting to track how well the "tell a friend" via email feature works, and converts to other joined members.
Any assistance is much appreciated!!
thanks once again mike123

I probably know that I don't want to do this, but I have an odd case.
I have a database with a bunch of stored procedures and functions. 128 of them reference a different database than the one they're in. For testing puposes, I need to temporarily re-point these functions and procedures to a different database.
I suspect the answer will be a resounding 'No', but I was wondering if it was possible to somehow run a query against syscomments where I could update all of those objects with the temporary database name rather than edit each and every one of them. Conceptually, it would just be an UPDATE using REPLACE. Pretty comfortable with that, but I'm always very reluctant to mess with stuff like that.
I'll probably still just do it through QA, but I was wondering if it's possible to do something like that and thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion.
I want to drop a table from a publication , so that i can copy some data from another server . After the copy , i want to add the article or the table back again to the publication without making any changes to the subscribers configuration .
Is it really possible on SQL 7.0 ? Right now it does not allow me to copy the data to the published table or even drop the article (table) and it says that the article is published for replication and cannot be dropped or modified . The table is configured for transactional replication .
I will have to drop the entire publication and create all the subcribers again .
I've learned to create DTS packages, saving them in a SQL database. But how can one modify a saved DTS package? And how does one delete a saved DTS package?
I have a trigger that emails me each time an order is modified by a manager. I can't recall how to find out which user is performing the modification. Is there a global variable such as @@username?
I have some rather large TSQL scripts I'd like to schedule as jobs. Unfortunately, the SysJobSteps table in the MSDB Database is limited to 3200 characters while I need it to be 5000. Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the size of this to allow for larger TSQL scripts?
I would like to update some values in my table that have this value: XXXX-XXXX. I would like to update the '-' and change it to a '_'. Does anyone know the best way to do this?
I tried this but I get a "Subquery returned more than 1 value error"
