NOT able to call exe in ssis execute process task

I am creating an SSIS package in which we execute an exe file from the EXECUTE PROCESS COMPONENT which contains the logics and uses few sp’s which checks the expiry dates of the certificates of some URL's. But when we keep the file on sever and run it through
TWS it is showing the error "FILE NOT IN PATH" .But if we keep the exe file in local path then it executes through TWS. If we run the package locally without TWS then it runs successfully no matter if the exe is in local path or placed in a shared
server folder. So i want to know is there any constraints in running the EXE file from the shared folder through TWS.
Note:
1.TWS- IBM Tivoli workload scheduler to call and execute ssis packages
2. TWS is install in different server (Like server A)
3. SSIS package and exe file located in different server (Like server B)
4. We are using dynamic path in SSIS package to locate SSIS package and exe file.

Hi SR_MCTS,
According to your description, a package that execute an exe file with Execute Process Task can be executed successfully without using TWS or the exe file stores in local path with TWS. While it fails when use TWS to execute the package with the exe file
stores in shared folder.
If in this scenario, it seems that the logon user that use TWS to execute the package has no access to the shared folder. We can logon as the relevant account or change some relevant settings on TWS to make sure the user has access to shared folder which
hosts the exe file.
Besides, since I’m not familiar with TWS, I’m not sure whether the issue is caused by there are some constraints in running the exe file from the shared folder through TWS. As to this issue about TWS, I suggest you post the question in the following forum:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/forum?id=11111111-0000-0000-0000-000000002658&tags=tws. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
Thank you for your understanding.

  • Error while calling pscp.exe through a batch file which is called in SSIS Execute Process Task

    Hi,
    I am using Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, SSIS 2012. I am trying to copy files from a remote location by calling pscp.exe through a batch file (FileCopy.bat at location M:\bin\) which is referenced in a SSIS Execute Process Task. My batch file content
    is,
    ECHO OFF
    echo. >> M:\Prod\bin\SourceFile_FileLog.txt
    echo %date% - %time% - Copy Start (XYZ_a201211155952avx0_69999.NOR.gz) >> M:\Prod\bin\SourceFile_FileLog.txt

    echo %date% - %time% - Copy Complete >> M:\Prod\bin\SourceFile_FileLog.txt
    The error I am getting is 
    [Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "M:\bin\FileCopy.bat" "" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
    Exactly same setup but using Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise and SSIS 2005, this works fine and copies the files successfully.
    Please provide some guidance on this.
    Thank you!

    once after the SSIS Pacakge has design and develop and deploy into the server as Project Deployment model..when i run the ssis Package ,calling through the SP it is working fine...
    even when i design a SSRS report  using SSDT(sql server data tools),  in the SSRS reprot calling the above SP in Dataset.when i execute the SSRS report it is wroking fine...

    It looks like a security issue.

  • SSIS Execute Process Task to Unzip Remote Files

    I have created an SSIS Execute Process Task to unzip files on a remote server.
    Executable: \\servername\c$\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe
    Arguments: -o\\servername\d$\DBFiles\ -y x \\servername\d$\DBFiles\somefile.zip
    The zip file size is about 40MB.
    The SSIS task runs very slowly, close to 5 minutes. I know it should not take this long. When I remote logon to the server and run the 7z program to unzip the same file, it unzips in less than 10 seconds.
    It seems that the way it is set up now, it constantly sending instructions back and forth from my PC to the server when I run the SSIS package on my PC.  
    I have 50 files of varying sizes that need to be processed daily. The SSIS unzip task takes 2 hours just to unzip these files.
    How should I set up the SSIS Execute Process Task so that it can unzip files on remote server efficiently?
    Many thanks in advance

    The reason is that the files contain data that need to be loaded to the database. So, the zipped data files are copied to the server where the database lives. The SSIS package unzips the files and loads the database. The SSIS package is stored on the same
    server. The server lives in the remote data centre.
    My team run the SSIS package using Managament Studio running their PCs in the office, which is a different location to the data centre.
    Since the package and files live on the same remote server, I would have thought that that would not be an issue. But the fact that we run the package locally means that the package is executed locally.
    My goal is to put the zipped data files on the server, unzip the files, load data to a database on a remote server. I need to allow my team of 4 to be able to use Management Studio to run the SSIS packages to do the above. Would I be better off Remote
    Desktop connecting to the server and execute the package there?
    I will check out the PowerShell option.

  • Ssis execute process task error: process exit code was 1 while the expected was 0

    Hi Sir,
    in my SSIS Package(2012) i am using Execute Process Task which will call bat file.  bat file is located on UNC Path.i am having  the below script in the batch file.
     del \\servername\foldername\name.txt
     rcmd \\servername D:\name1.bat
     del \\servername\foldername\name2.txt
    xcopy \\servername\foldername\file.txt   \\server\foldername\outfilefolder
    i am getting the below error message:
    ssis execute process task error:  process exit code was 1 while the expected was 0
    i want know at what cases error exit code was 1?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi prasad.alm,
    The error is generic and can be caused by various factors. Here are some suggestions for your reference:
    Manually run the executable to execute the batch file so that we can check whether the command lines in the batch file are correct or not.
    Check there are no duplicate/existing files in the destination folder.
    Try to run the package in 32-bit or 64-bit runtime mode.
    If the issue occurs when running a job, try to create a CmdExec type job step to call the excutable. If this job also fails, it might be an issue between executable and SQL Server Agent rather than the SSIS package itself.
    If the issue persists, enable logging for the package, and check if we can obtain more detailed error message for further analysis.

  • How to execute SQOOP.cmd file from SSIS execute process task?

    How to execute SQOOP.cmd file from SSIS execute process task?
    What is argument need to be prefixed in the arguments property
    Executable: C:\Hadoop\sqoop-1.4.2\bin\sqoop.cmd
    Arguments: /C "sqoop import -connect "jdbc:sqlserver://mysystem:1433;database=test;username=myuser;password=mypwd;" -table emp  -target-dir /user/emptable -m 1"
    Thanks
    Durga

    Hi Durga,
    SQOOP.cmd must be no different than any other .cmd/.bat I assume, your question is more about setting the parameters up I guessed.
    So unless the arguments change dynamically you can call SQOOP.cmd from yet another .cmd that has its parameters passed to it and the former you simply set to run without the arguments in Execute Process Task.
    Otherwise, in general to set a bat/cmd file to run in SSIS one needs to do this:
    PS: It is a good idea to populate the working directory with the path to the .cmd

    Hi Sir,

    Thanks for your time.
    Regards
    Prasad

    Hi Prasad,
    When you say executing the package in SSMS, I think you right click on the package and execute it manually rather than execute it through SQL Server Agent job, right? How did you execute the package from the SSMS on DEV server? Have your also deployed the
    SSIS project to the SSISDB catalog on DEV server or you used SSMS tool on DEV to connect to the QA server to execute the package?
    When you log into the Database Engine instance, make sure the credentials you used has access on the shared folder which hosts the .bat file. Besides, I think the issue may be caused by the Windows UAC feature which may lower the permissions level of an
    administrator to a standard user. So, I suggest that you run the SSMS as administrator to see if it works.

  • SSIS Execute Process Task DDE/OLE

    I have a package that executes an executable via Execute Process task, and that executable needs Adobe Reader to work.  It sends PDF faxes to Adobe which converts them to tiff.  This is a third party executable that is part of an enterprise Fax
    Server so I have no control over changing the process at all.  This being said, for whatever reason, it wont run as a SQL job.  When the executable runs, it is passed a file name.  It (the EXE) opens Adobe via DDE/OLE, not sure, it just launches
    it, and covnverts/sends the fax.
    It runs under BIDS with my authority, it runs under BIDS with SQLADMIN authority
    It runs as a "deployed" package (right click choose run job) under the same authority as the SQL job is (SQLADMIN)
    It runs from the command line with DTEXEC
    When executed as a JOB, calling the DTSX from the catalog, it does not throw an error, but through debugging, we've found it stops at the executable, because the executable can't launch the Adobe instance. It continues to run and never fail, but not do
    anything.
    Is there something in SSIS (2012) that I need to configure to allow this to work?.
    Thanks!!

    Unfortunately, the Proxy didn't help.  I had made one before, but I followed the article just in case I had done something incorrect.  To summarize, the package calls an execute process task which runs a program called SendFax,exe and passes it
    a filename.  SendFax.exe internally instantates Adobe Reader and uses it for conversion from PDF to TIF.  Outside of the SQL Agent job it runs fine.  When launched by the Agent, it fails to instantate Adobe.
    Also, when the dtsx is run from the command line using DTEXEC it runs fine.  Putting the command line in a batch file and double clicking it, it runs fine.  Executing that same batch file with "Highest permissions" in Windows Task Manager, it fails
    as well.
    Finally, I made a simple SSIS to launch AcroReader32 (in a 32 bit instance) in SSIS but putting out an execute process task that does nothing but launch Adobe, it fails.  I remove Adobe 11 and installed 10.1, it still fails. I turned off all the security
    in Adobe reader I could find, and it still fails.
    This is making me crazy.....

  • Passing Argument from Execute Process Task (SSIS) to an .exe file

    Hi,

    I am not knowing how to pass the output of the SQL query to the parameter of the Exe file. Can you please let me know how to pass the sql output data as parameter to the exe.
    Many Thanks, Thirumalai M

    Hi,
    you can use the following tutorial fr more information.

    After getting the data in the variable, you can easily pass the variable in as a parameter for the "Execute process task".

  • Pass Passord Variable to a Batch File using Execute Process Task

    I have an FTP batch file that I want to execute using Execute Process Task. The content of the ftp (ftpscript.cmd) is as below:
    open ftpsite
    UserName
    Password
    ASCII
    get file  c:\temp\test.txt
    bye
    Using SSIS Execute process task, I was able to download data. I configured the Execute Process task as follows:
    Executable: ftp.exe
    Arguments: -s:"c:\temp\ftpscript.cmd"
    The above works fine. But the problem is that I don't want to store the password value in the batch file for security/policy reasons. Please, is there a way I can pass the password value to the ftp executable or the batch file at run time?
    I know how to get and store variables in SSIS but I don't know how to pass this kind of variable to the batch file just before execution.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

    you can dynamically generate the source (CMD) for the FTP and delete after the execution. The password can be stored in a secure database for example, not 100 % secure, but the best you can do.
    Another option I did was an encrypted VBScript (also quite easy to open in plain text to some people).
    Finally it can be a binary e.g. an EXE with the FTP called as process in it.

  • PDW : DWLoader in Execute Process Task, Success Value return code

    Hi,
    I'm using SSIS Execute Process Task to call DWLoader.
    It seems the Success Value return code is 2.
    Which is working fine except that after all data are loaded in my table a 0 return code is sent.
    And so my task fails.
    Any idea how to handle this ?
    Thx for your help !
    Regards,
    Bertrandr

    My understanding is - When DWLoader process returns 2, everything goes fine but in another case it returns 0 then task fails.
    You can Set: FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue
    to FALSE so that task will not care about return values
    But in case of any other error such as syntax - save
    error in MyVariable and verify if MyVariable != ""

    Hi ConnectDebz,
    According to your description and script example, do you use WinSCP.exe to perform the SFTP files transfer? If so, you should set the Executable of the Execute Process Task to the path of the WinSCP.exe, save the script in a .txt file and set the Argument
    of the Execute Process Task like “/script=C:\Temp\sftploader.txt” (without quotes).

  • Execute Process Task configuration for WinSCP

    Hi Experts,
    I've been tasked to use WinFTP to pull files from an sFTP site to our local W2007 server using an SSIS Execute Process Task.  I'm trying to get the task to run a script containing the UN/PW and other info, text below.  The script works from the
    command line:
    Here's the Process window from the task:
    When I run the task, the error says Host "\script=C" does not exist.  Are there some special characters I need to use around the colon or something?  It's like the task isn't sending the complete path.
    Here's the text of the script, in case it matters.
    option batch abort
    option confirm off
    open sftp://User:Password@site
    get Media*2013.txt C:\FTP\

  • Execute SSIS Package from JOB which contains Execute Process Task calling a .bat file

    Hi All,
    I have a EXCEL Macro needs to be called from SSIS. We could not use Script task because of some internal reason.
    So we have taken an approach to call a .BAT file using Execute Process Task. This .BAT file will call a .VBS file which will execute the EXCEL Macro.
    The SSIS Package is running good if I execute the package from BIDS.
    But the real problem is with the scheduling this SSIS Package using SQL JOB.
    If i execute this SSIS package from SQL Server Job, its executing the whole package successfully except the Execute Process Task.
    So the overall issue is SQL Server Job is not executing properly if I call any .BAT file from the SSIS Package.
    Please give me suggestion to get rid of the issue. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sai.N,
    If you run the SQL Server Agent job manually from SSMS, does the package execute properly? If the package executes properly when you run the job manually, the issue should occur due to permission issue. In this case, I suggest that you create a SQL Server
    Agent proxy based on the current Windows account which you use to log onto the operating system, and run the job under the proxy account.
    If it is not the issue, please enable logging in the package as Visakh mentioned and post the warning/error message for further analysis.
