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,

  • Package: Difference between calling external procedures vs. internal

    I have a package which has a bunch of procedures. I have decided to move one of the procedures outside the package because there is a user that needs control over the SQL in it. I pass 2 dates into it so I don't think I can create a view. My question is this:
    What is the difference in syntax to call a procedure outside the package as opposed to one inside the package?

    I don't think I've ever been in the position of having a stand-alone procedure with the same name as a packaged procedure and needing to call the stand-alone one from within the package, but it is still possible:
    SQL> CREATE PROCEDURE p
      2  AS
      3  BEGIN
      4      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('This is the stand-alone procedure');
      5  END;
      6  /
    Procedure created.
    SQL> CREATE PACKAGE pkg
      2  AS
      3      PROCEDURE testit;
      4  END;

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Call child package x number of times from parent package

    I have a child package that I need to call x (10 or less) number of times and have those all run at the same time. The parent package should kick them off either simultaneously or one after the other, but the parent package should not complete until all
    child packages have completed. I will be sending a different parameter value to the child package for each process.
    How can I do this in SSIS without hard-coding several Execute Package Tasks with the same package but different parameter values?

    This is an odd distributed computing with SSIS, but I think you can try placing the children package into a ForLoop. But it will run sequentially. Another option is to generate/start Agent jobs with SSIS step(s) that runs the package(s), but then there is
    no master package as such and it all completes whenever.
    PS: In my experience this design/approached is more often ends with hands thrown out into the air after all the hair is pulled than it actually works.

  • SSIS: How to use one Variable as Input and Output Parameter in an Execute SQL Task

    Hello,
    i need your help,I'm working on this issue since yesterday and have no idea how to deal with it.
    As I already said in the tilte i want to start a stored procedure via a Execute SQL Task which has around 15 prameters. 10 of these should be used as input AND output value.
    As an example:
    i have three  Variable:
    var1    int        2
    var2    int     100
    var3    int     200
    the stroed procedure:
       sp_test
          @var1 int
          @var2 int output
          @var3 int output
       AS
       BEGIN
            SET @var2 = @var2 * @var1
            SET @var3 = @var3 + @var1
       END
    So in the Execute SQL Task i call the Stored Procedure as follwos:
        Exec sp_test  @var1 = ?, @var2 = ? output, @var3 = ? output
    (I use an OLE DB Connection)
    The parameter mapping is as follows:
    User::Var1        input                   numeric              0                 -1
    User::Var2        input/output         numeric              1                 -1
    User::Var3        input/output         numeric              2                 -1
    Now my problem. If i set  Var2 and Var3 as Input parameter the values are still the same after running the package. If i set them to a output value the are both Null because the procedure doesnt get any values.
    I already tried to list them a second time - like
        User::Var2        input                  numeric              1                 -1
        User::Var2        output                 numeric              1                 -1
    or i use a new variable
        User::Var2                  input                  numeric              1                 -1
        User::Var2Return        output                 numeric              1                 -1
    but i alwas get the error
    "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."
    Has anybody an idea how I can solve this problem?
    Thanks a lot.
    Kind Regards,
    Alice

    Hi Alain,
    thx for your answer.
    I have around 15 procedures called one after the other to calculated and modify my values. Each procedure is responsible for an other but overlapping set of variables. So i thought it would be a good idea to call them one after the other with the needed variables via a execute sql task.
    So if i use a result set, how i get my stored procedure to return 10 values? I would have to use a Function instead of a procedure, wouldn't i?
    As if i have 15 procedures this would be a lot of work.
    But thanks a lot for the idea. I think an other idea would be to create one function which calls all stored procedures and returns all the calculated values as a result set, wouldn't it?.
    Kind Regards.
    Alice

  • SSIS Execute SQL Task using sp_rename giving deadlock issues

    All,
    We have a job that has 2 steps and both of those steps call an SSIS package
    1st package - Loads the data from a SQL server source, to a SQL Server destination tables, say, "TblHistory" is one of them
    2nd package - It does a re-name from the History table to the Main table, so below, is how the code looks like in the execute SQL Task:
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    EXECUTE sp_rename 'dbo.Tbl', 'TblOld'
    EXECUTE sp_rename N'dbo.TblOld.PK_TblId', N'PK_TblIdOld', N'INDEX'
    EXECUTE sp_rename 'dbo.TblHistory', 'Tbl'
    EXECUTE sp_rename N'dbo.Tbl.PK_TblHistoryId', N'PK_TblId', N'INDEX'
    EXECUTE sp_rename 'dbo.TblOld', 'TblHistory'
    EXECUTE sp_rename N'dbo.TblHistory.PK_TblIdOld', N'PK_TblHistoryId', N'INDEX'
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    In package 1 there are multiple history tables that are being loaded and most of them get renamed in the 2nd package. There is a separate SQL task for each of the history tables. The problem that I am running in to are the deadlock issues. When the 2nd package
    runs, it throws this error:
    "SQL - Table Rename & Swap for "Tbl" Execute SQL Task     Description: Executing the query "BEGIN TRANSACTION     EXECUTE sp_rename Tbl..." failed with the following error: "Transaction
    (Process ID 60) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim."
    It's giving me a deadlock issue on the other tasks as well. So, when the job ran today, I am noticing 4 deadlock errors on the 4 different execute SQL tasks in the 2nd package (i.e. the job fails at 2nd step)
    Has anyone faced this scenario before?

    Why renaming tables? The data do not change. So just load the data to an interim table and push it to the target or may be you do not need it at all - just load the right table.
    I admit I fail to capture the overall picture of what you are trying to solve or deliver. But renaming tables is something not usual.

  • 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 != ""

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Combining package configuration and Execute SQL task at run time

    Hi everyone,
    I have an issue regarding setting values at run time
    I use package configuration to manage different enviroments scenarios (DEV, PROD):
    XML file to store the connections string of SSISConfigDB
    and the actual values of parameters in that SSISConfig DB tables Filtered by ConfigurationFilter column
    Now, one of my packages needs in addition setting at run time value of a flat file name
    i used an Execute SQL task - within the task i read into a variable the file name using command line
    then, the full path of Flat File Connection is set by expression concatenating the root folder and the variable
    the problem is that the variable stays empy! as if the Execute SQL task was never executed!
     Am i doing something incorrect? in the package configuration wizard the configured value are only XML file and the connection string of the DB.
    to summerize - how can i combine package configuration, default value, Execute SQL task and expression at runtime?

    1.EvaluateasExpression=TRUE (Full Path variable)
    2. Do you mean to invlole a ISNULL() function in the expression? if so, no
    3. Of course i recieve a valid value
    4. The Full path expression is evaluated to the root folder - without the portion of the file name
    here is the syntax in Execute SQL Task:
      truncate table OnErrorFlagTable
      Declare @Path varchar(128)
      Declare @FileName varchar(128) 
      Declare @SenderID varchar(5)
      Declare @INST_COD varchar(5)
      Declare @Flag int = 0
     Declare @FileType varchar(2)='01'
      Truncate table TraumaRecords
    Select @Path = 'C:\RootFolder\'
     --***Insert into Temp table the file so we can take his name***--
    Create Table #Tmp(Txt Varchar(Max))
    Insert Into #Tmp(Txt)
    Exec master..xp_cmdshell 'Dir *.txt C:\RootFolder\/b'
    select top 1 @Filename = Txt From #Tmp
    Where ISNUMERIC(substring(Txt,1,1))=1
    order by Txt desc
    Insert into OnErrorFlagTable
    Select 2,@FileName
    Select @FileName as TraumaFileName,@FileType as FileType
    Then, in ResultSet TraumaFileName and FileType are mapped
    Expression of @TraumaFlatfileFullPath is
    @[User::TraumaFlatfilePath]+ @[User::TraumaFlatFileName]
    where the variable @[User::TraumaFlatfilePath] is evaluated in variable window (default value)
    and it's value is C:\RootFolder\
    and @[User::TraumaFlatFileName] is the ResultSet of the ExecuteSQLTask
    and for some reason when executed in SSIS return null while in SSMS return the expected value
    Can you try making this into a procedure with required parameters and call it from SQL task to see if you get return value correctly? Use OUTPUT parameters for getting back required values

  • 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:
    Error      1             
    Error loading Package.dtsx: Failed to load task "Execute SQL Task", type "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ExecuteSQLTask.ExecuteSQLTask, Microsoft.SqlServer.SQLTask, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91". The contact information

    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.
