Dynamic Execute package Task

Hi ETL,
I have Master package consisting of 10 child packages, i'm calling child packages using execute package task
Now the issue is, child package location should be configurable .
Plz help me

Thats easy.
Add the connection string property of package connection manager used within Execute Package Task as a configuration within package and pass it through XML file or SQL server table value

Error: The Task has failed to load on Execute Package Task using TFS Build and MSBuild.exe on dedicated Build Machine.

I'm trying to automate my building and deployment of SSIS packages using TFS build definitionss in conjunction with MSBuild.exe on a separate build machine.
I have successfully built and deployed my projects but receive the following error:
Error: Failed to load task "etl_UWP_Stage_tstg_7_Large",type "". The contact information for this task is "Microsoft Corporation: Microsoft SQL Server .... "
This error happens at runtime as well as if I perform a "Validate..." on the SSIS Catalog on the server.
This only occurs when trying to execute a package that contains an Execute Package Task. Any other packages that are doing the actual work are working just fine.
In addition, when I do the MSBuild from my developer machine with the same deployment process everything works fine, even the Execute Package Task.
I can even open up the project on the build machine in VS2012, rebuild all, then deploy and everything works fine.
Some things I've considered/verified:
1) Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio Data Tools 2012 are both on the build machine and my local machine.
2) The .NET version being used by VS2012 is the same on the build machine and my local machine.
3) I find it suspicious that the "Type" referenced in the error above is blank...but not sure where to go with that.
4) Obvious difference is that during the TFS Build and Deploy on the build machine, everything is running under the TFS Service account, rather than my account...once again...not sure where to go with this, but it is a significant difference.
Has anyone had similar issues or have any thoughts on things to try?
Thanks,
Jason

Not sure why I couldn't find this answer in my earlier searches...
But this thread solved it for me:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/3aa1e324-da32-4ea0-865c-c69f610ef262/failed-to-load-execute-package-task-error?forum=sqlintegrationservices
Essentially I had to install SSIS on the build machine so that the 64-bit version for
ExecPackageTask.dll, was available. I did this from the original media CD selection Integration Services as a feature.
Hope this helps someone in the future.

Failed to load Execute Package Task error.

Hello Experts,
Excuse my newbie question.
Execute Package Task: Error: The task has failed to load. The contact information for the task is "Microsoft Corporation; Microsoft SQL Server; Microsoft corporation; All Rights Reserved http://www.microsoft.com/sql/support/default.asp:1"
We have a windows service running on our app server that deploys a package that executes other packages using execute package task. This package and rest of the packages are in the same folder at the same level under integration services
catalog. The package fails to execute with the above said error.
Execute package task is configured to run in 'in-process' mode. Changing delay validation to true/false in child packages didn't help.
ironically if the package is deployed using a console application from the app server the package gets executed just fine. I checked permissions, everything seem fine.
Is there anyway to get details of this error to understand the problem better? I am looking at reports > standard reports > all executions.
Thanks.

As it turns out, the 63bit ExecPackageTask.dll was not found under "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn". Installing "SQL Server Data Tools" installed only 32 bit version of the component under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL
Server\110\DTS\Binn".
Is there a way to get 64bit version of this component without installing "Integration Services" (to avoid possible license issues)?
Hi Jayakarthiks,
To make use of the 64-bit ExecPackageTask.dll, you also need the 64-bit SSIS runtime and 64-bit DTExec utility tool. To obtain the 64-bit SSIS runtime and tools, you have to install the SQL Server Integration Services service from your SQL Server 2012 install
media.

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process with Execute package task

Hi,
I've a master package that calls other packages with an Execute Package Task. Sometimes we have an error: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and sometimes not. It seems random.
We are working on a Terminal Server and the SQL Server database engine and the files are placed on another server. It seems that the errors doesn't occu when we run the packages on the server with a job. We can't log onto the windows server on this machine..
Hennie

I've seen this myself. On most occasions an immediate rerun would fix the issue. As stated this happens only when we try to run this from BIDs. From SQL agent job it always runs fine.

Execute Package Task Not Working After New Installation VS2012

After installing VS2012 Update 4, the execute package task runs the child package out of order.
The same version of VS is being used as the old computer (same everything, SQL 2012, OS...). The solution works correctly on machines where VS2012 was installed prior to July 2014. I've downloaded the BIDS, SSDT.
Anyone else have the same problem? I have yet to find anywhere on the internet where someone has reported the same issue. It has happened on multiple computers since August 2014.

How to reproduce?
It is not very likely, but did you try searching MS Connect for this issue?

Execute Package Task

1. I have a CSV file which contains ( PackageLocationWithName, source info (table/file/accesdb) & other control info)
2. I load the CSV file into the SQL Server Table ConfigurationTab
3. In the SSIS package I assign the values returned from select * from ConfigurationTab to
a system object : SubjectStagelist ( system.object) Result Set : ResultName: 0 ..1..2.. , Variable : user:: SubjectStagelist
4. In the ForEachLoopContainer I use : collection : For Each ADO Enumerator
ADO Object Source Variable : user:: SubjectStagelist
Enumeration Mode : Rows in the first table
5. Created variables equals to number of column in the table(csv file):
6. Assigned these variables as index 0,1,2... in Variable Mappings in the ForEachLoopContainer ( Assuming that the values from the SubjectStagelist will be assigned to the new variables )
7. Under the ForEachLoopContainer I have the execute process task. Here I want to n number of child packages to perform the data load from source to target ( n = no of rec in csv file which is fixed)
In the execute package task I use the location as File, point to one of the files as connection and under expressions - I have connection as @user::PackagePath (this variable will hold the complete package path with name e.g c\desktop\....\pkgName.dtsx).
When I try so save the master package in the execute package task, I use the location as file which
automatically changed to SQLSERVER from file and also throws the error by saying
The connection "c\desktop\....\pkgName.dtsx"
is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
"@user::PackagePath" on property "Connection" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
But it keeps on giving me this error ? Am I following the right steps ?
Please advice....

Hi Visakh,
Now I am getting the below error. In SQL table I have the data type as datetime for
Date_Endtime(in Pkg it is datetime) variable and Integer for
Int_Batch_Nbr(in pkg it is Int32) variable
How can I typecast this if required, as I am capturing entire record into Object variable for further processing
Error: 0xC001C012 at ForEach Loop: ForEach Variable Mapping number 10 to variable "User::Date_Endtime" cannot be applied.
Error: 0xC001F009 at MSTR_Pkg: The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::Int_Batch_Nbr"
differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
Neil
I think the issue is you've variables jumbled up in the mapping within for each loop. You need to make sure the index mapped to Date_EndTime corresponds to resultset column with datetime values and that to Int_Batch_Nbr corresponds to integer values. As
of now its not correct which is why it complains about data type mismatch.
Also didnt understand why you unmarked original answer as it was the solution to your actually posted problem. Now what you're asking is an unrelated issue. Anyone looking at this would have benefited with previous answer if their original issue was with
execute package task property expression.

Execute package task is not able to pickup the package to execute it from a Foreach Loop Container

Hi,
I want to execute 5 packages using EXECUTE PACKAGE Task in FOR EACH LOOP Container. I followed the instructions as per the below link
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.in/2013/01/master-child-packages-part-1-file-based.html
When I execute the main package it is going to folder where i have that 5 packages and picking up the first one then it is not completing the package keep on executing the same.
What i need to check here, kindly help me here.

Add a dummy execute sql task as first step inside loop and add a breakpoint to that for OnPreExecute event and check value of variable during each iteration to see if it gets value of each child package witin folder correctly.

2012: Execute Package Task (external reference) Very Slow in SSDT

Hi All,
I have 4 packages which I've deployed using the package deployment model to the MSDB package store.
Configuration setup is System Env Var pointing at SSIS Configurations table that populates the connection string of my SSISConfig data source. Source/Dest configurations are in the SSIS Configuration table.
I have a 'master' package that executes the 4 packages in parallel using the Execute Package control flow task (external reference, SSIS Package Store)
When I execute this master package in SSDT it takes 1minute 56 seconds to finish. All the execute package tasks seem to hang until the last few sec then finish one after the other. It's the same if execute one of the Execute Package Task items individually.
It just hangs there for nearly 2 min then rushes through its work (i've verified by looking at the destination tables; nothing happens until the end).
But the packages executed directly in ssdt take 2-3 sec to execute.
I've deployed the master package to the server and executed it via SSMS. It takes <3 sec.
I've RDPed into the ssis box and it's the same. Executing the packages individually or the master package in dtexecui takes less than 3 sec.
Something's going wrong inside SSDT (some kind of timeout? but there are no error msgs or warning) that's making it take nearly 2 minutes.
Have others experienced this? Have I misconfigured something? The env var has been working on my local machine since last week and i've restarted many times since then, so I'm positive SSDT is using the 'current' version of the env var.
Jakub @ Adelaide, Australia

Very strange. The sysssislogs are the same for any method of execution, but there's a 5 sec delay for each step when executing via SSDT

Look at the times. It's going up in exact 5sec increments! The package takes about 3 sec to run when the master package is executed via dtexecUI outside SSDT. The log looks "normal" in those instances as well; the end times are more randomised
This is with SP1 CU8 installed.

Execute package task to call external package

Hi all,
I'm developing a SSIS project, I need an "execute package task" to execute a packahe stored in the SSISDB catalog of a SQL Server 2014 Instance.
If I choose "External Reference" I can choose from "File System" and "SQL Server" but if I point to the last one I can't see package stored in the SSISDB, it seems to me that the new SSISDB catalog is not supported in Visual
Stusio (I'm using VS 2013).
Hey Microsoft developers, when you are at the coffe break, please talk each other!!!

Hi Andrea,
As per my understanding, we can store packages to SSISDB database from SQL Server 2012. But we can also store package to MSDB database from SQL Server 2012. This is not a deprecated feature.
But the Execute Package task can run a child package from the project with Project Reference, can also run packages stored in the SQL Server MSDB database and packages stored in the file system with External Reference. There is no such feature that
support run the package from SSISDB database in the Execute Package task. For more details, please see:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137609(v=sql.110).aspx
Besides, if you want to also select a package from SSISDB database, I recommend you that submit the requirement at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/. If the requirement mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add this feature in the next SQL Server version. Your feedback
is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the level of service provided.
Thanks,

Execute Pacakge Task in SSIS 2012

Team ,
Thanks for your pointers in advance .
I'm Looking out for a way to run SSIS package which is deployed over to SSIS Catalog using another SSIS Package ( a Package Wrapper which executes other packages ) , How should i configure ? Is this possible ?
What would other possible ways likely be .
Thanks
Rajkumar Yelugu

You should be able to use standard Execute package Task.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137609%28v=sql.110%29.aspx
Using dynamic options (expressions) you can change most of the settings during run time.
Sorry as far as I know its not possible to refer to packages within another project in Integration Services catalogs from execute package task. There are only two options available as ReferenceTypes.
A value of Project Reference means referred package also have to be within the same IS project. The other option which is External reference is provided for legacy deployment model which means you can only refer to the packages deployed in MSDB or FileSystem
through this option.
Also one more thing to note is you'll never be able to import an individual package from IS catalog project. You've to import the complete project and then get the package from it by unzipping. It will exist as a ispac file and not as individual .dtsx files
upon importing.
See this article where I've explained it

Execute Package fails due to package validation

There is an execute package task that calls the child package. Both parent and child packages have the same password and the passwork is entered into the execute package task. Both packages reside in the same directory path.
Error: Error 0xC0012050 while loading package file "C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ExecutePackageTest\ExecutePackageTest\ExtractandWrite.dtsx". Package failed validation from the ExecutePackage task. The package cannot run.
When ExtractandWrite.dtsx is executed by right-clicking on package, the package executes without any errors.
DelayValidation = True for the Execute Package Task tasks is set and DelayValidation for the connection manager is set to True.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be causing this error?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You try by changing property ExecuteOutOfProcess as False in Execute Package task

Execute Process Task Issue

Hello,
Here is the scenario:
I am running two script logics from an SSIS package in the application called Reporting. Now I need to add a third task that runs script logic from another application called CostAnalysis. I have already tried using logic task, it wont work. now I am trying to do it through execute package task. In the execute package task, I added a File connection that points to the exact location where the 2nd dtsx file(in other application called costanalysis) is located, and referenced that connection in Execute package task.
Here is Issue:
Before I added this 3rd task, the package named pushtocostanalysis was running just fine. After adding the 3rd step(execute package task), the package just stops running after 2 seconds and doesnt even create a log file! How could this be?
Thanks.

Hello, here is what I added to the modify script for the first approach (3rd task as script logic task) - Destreassign.lgf is the script logic in Costanalysis app. this package is being run from Reporting App. But this doesnt seem to work. Please advise what changes I need to make. thanks.
TASK(03_Destreassign_Script,USER,%USER%)
TASK(03_Destreassign_Script,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(03_Destreassign_Script,APP,)
TASK(03_Destreassign_Script,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(03_Destreassign_Script,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\CostAnalysis\DestReassign.lgf)
TASK(03_Destreassign_Script,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(03_Destreassign_Script,LOGICMODE,1)
TASK(03_Destreassign_Script,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)

Dynamically change the db and server in execute sql task

Pkg 2: Moves data from B_STG (Staging DB) to B_Det_STG (Staging DB) ---- option1
Pkg 3: Moves data from B_STG (Staging DB) to B_Det (PC DB) ---- option2
This part is duplicating in both the packages
So they want me to merge both of them into in execute sql task and dynamically change between option1 and option2 depending on a pkg level variable.
So, I create a pkg level variable called ExecutionVariable: 'ANALYSIS' or 'LOADING'
If 'ANALYSIS' it needs to do option1 else option2.
So, I ma trying to create a dynamic connection string in execute sql task.
I change the connection property in execute sql task editor dynamically my giving the expression: @[User::ExecutionVariable] == "ANALYSIS"? @[User::STAGINGDBConnectionString] : @[User::PCDBConnectionString]
which evaluates to : Data Source=AW-ETL-D1;Initial Catalog=Staging;Integrated Security=SSPI;Provider=sqloledb
But when I run the sql task, its giving me an error:
ERROR:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
Nonfatal errors occurred while saving the package:
Error at PC_DataLoad: The connection "Data Source=AW-ETL-D1;Initial Catalog=Staging;Integrated Security=SSPI;Provider=sqloledb" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
Error at PC_DataLoad: The connection "Data Source=AW-ETL-D1;Initial Catalog=Staging;Integrated Security=SSPI;Provider=sqloledb" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
Can u please help me.

Hi ,
Don't try to make the "Execute Sql" task as dynamic.
Try to make OLEDB connection Manager as "Dynamic".
Steps:
1. Create OLE DB Connection pointing to any database then set expression to connection string variables like below.
Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=YourDBname;Data Source=YourServerName.
2. Make Delayed Validation property to "True".
3. Set the created dynamic OLE DB connection to your Execute SQL task.
4. Change the connection string variable accordingly before running the "Execute SQL" task.
Hope it will help you.
Regards,
Nandhu

SSIS Package Load Failure and is missing Execute SQL Task in Toolbox

Also, BIDS closes after right-clicking the toolbox and selecting “Choose Items”.
I’ve tried several ways to fix these issues with no success.
I’m running SSIS/SSMS/SQL Server 2008 R2 (but not running an SQL instance on my PC) on a Windows XP with Service Pack 3 workstation. I get the following errors:
WHEN OPENING BIDS:
I get 2 errors titled “Package Load Failure”. They both reference ‘Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package’ as being what failed to load. The first message references GUID 8D8529D3-625D-4496-8354-3DAD630ECC1B. The second references GUID AA612177-A69A-4391-B2F4-17F8A88F4BBA
. They both mention contacting the package vendor, but I haven’t got any Add-ins loaded so I’m not sure what that means exactly. They also both ask if I’d like to skip loading the package in the future.
ONCE BIDS IS OPEN:
No error messages appear here. There is no ‘Execute SQL Task’ in the toolbox for Control Flows. Also, if I attempt to open a project containing this object (Execute SQL Task), I get this error in a modal window:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
There were errors while the package was being loaded.
The package might be corrupted.
See the Error List for details.
BUTTONS:
OK
. . . and these errors in the Error List at the bottom of the IDE:

Finally, when I attempt to add the Execute SQL Task via the Tools menu, “Choose Toolbox Items” selection, I do get the tabbed box for adding things. However, they only come up after issuing this error:
The following assemblies are installed SDK assemblies but could not be shown in the customize toolbox dialog because they are missing one or more components. Please make sure that all necessary libraries are available:
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlCEDest.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.CollectorTasks.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SQLTask.dll
System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Microsoft.Synchronization.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
(above dll repeated at bottom of message)
After this message, I have my choice of .NET Framework Compnents. When I select COM Components, those come up with no problem. The WPF Components tab generates the same dll error above. The Maintenance tab is empty. The SSIS Data Flow Items tab loads fine,
as does the SSIS Control Flow Items tab – but there’s no Execute SQL Task there either.
If you open the toolbox (on a new project, with a project loaded, or without a project loaded) and right-click, then select “Choose Items”, the entire application quickly closes. This “closing behavior” is the same thing you get if you attempt to add toolbox
items through either the Tools menu or the right-click method when you launch BIDS in SafeMode.
In an effort to fix this – I’ve rolled back the .NET Framework version to 3.0 and reinstalled back up to 4; I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled SQL Server 2008 R2 shared services as well as the entire application; I’ve cleared the .tbd files from my user profile;
and I’ve run several things from the command line (devenv.exe /resetuserdata, /setup, /resetskippkgs, etc.). Lastly – I’ve applied every Service Pack and update applicable to my PC (ok, it belongs to my employer – but no one here has been able to figure this
out either).
After having worked this for several days now and, I think, exhausting every available avenue from search engines – I turn to you. Please let me know if you can help. Also, I can provide any additional
files or information you may require.

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.

Mike Yin
