Execute Process Task quote encloses arguments

Is there any way to not have SSIS Exceute Process Task quote enclose the arguments?
This is what the script task is echoing out to me via DTS.Events.FireInformation method - it is in the format I need.
-File "C:\Development\KP Integration\KP Integration\ADExport.ps1" "C:\Test\ADUsers.csv"
By the time the Execute Task Component consumes it, it quotes the entire expression. There is a prefix " before -File and a suffix quote at the end of the statement as shown below.
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
"-File "C:\Development\KP Integration\KP Integration\ADExport.ps1" "C:\Test\ADUsers.csv"" 
Again, I've verified quotes are in the right places for the arguments, but the script component seems to want to qualify the entire argument string as one long string and not take the value as is, which is causing an exception
Thanks,
Morgan

This appears to be a bug with how the expression is handled in the Exec Process Task.
Information: 0x0 at Build Path: -File "C:\Test\test.ps1" "C:\argument\path\test.csv"
Error: 0xC0029151 at Execute Process Task, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "-File "C:\Test\test.ps1" "C:\argument\path\test.csv"" at "".
Looks like I'll be moving the powershell integration to a step in a SQL Agent task, was trying to keep it contained to a package but it looks like the expression is converted to a literal and quote-enclosing the value rather than passing the value as-is.

  • Execute process task argument is not working for sph file and ogr2ogr.exe

    Hi All,
    I am trying to load shape file into a sql spatial table. A execution process task is used to run the ogr2ogr.exe program.
    This is how the process tab looks like .
    Executable : C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe
    Argument :  -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server=SQL-ABC-DEV;database=MYSIMPLE_Dev;Trusted_Connection=True;\\mypath\files\shares\Data\www.mypage.htm\my_sample_file.shp
    Success value : 1 (I am not sure why I need to change this value from 0 to 1.
    For above settings, package runs fine. However the spatial table is not created always. It is created once in a while after switching Success value from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 again. (After the spatial table is created, it is dropped using a execute sql statement). 
    I am running this in VS 2012.I saw in an article that we need to convert shp file to csv before we load it into sql server.I even tried to convert shp to csv using execute sql task and ogr2ogr.exe. Still the package runs successfully after changing Success
    value from 0 to 1 but no csv file is created. If the success value is 0, it throws the following error.

    Could long file name be a problem too?

    Hello shamen,
    Seems to me you are missing a step to check if the shape is there and purge it before loading if so.

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

    Hi,
    I am developing a SSIS package, where I want to execute exe file using Execute Process Task. The parameter for the ,exe file is the output of the SQL query from database.
    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".

  • Execute Process Task :Executing DOS Command lines in Execute Process Task

    Hi All,
    I am trying to sftp files using Tectia Client from my local system. For that I have used the Execute Process Task in SSIS. First I open DOS command and try to instantiate the sftp3.exe.
    Then I write down the below command
    binary
    open username@hostname
    lcd C:\Test
    cd <Destination Path name>
    put test.txt
    How to execute the command in execute process task ?
    help is appreciated
    Thanks

    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).

  • SSIS - How to run command line to copy files with User Variables within a Execute Process Task

    Hello,
    I'm am having syntax issues within the Arguments when trying to copy a file with cmd.exe using User Variables.
    It works when I hard code the arguments : /c copy /b  "\\folder1\file.txt" "\\folder2\file.txt"
    However, it's failing when I try using User Variables to replace the directory and file.
    User::FILES = \\folder1\file.txt
    User::FILE_NAME = file.txt
    "/c copy /b + @[User::FILES] + \" \\\\folder2\\" + @[User::FILE_NAME]"
    Does anybody know what's wrong with my syntax?
    Thanks!

    Hi SSISBeginner,
    Assuming the source file is "C:\Temp\Source\file.txt", the destination folder is "C:\Temp\Destination", the expression of FILES variable is "C:\Temp\Source\file.txt", and the expression of FILE_NAME variable is file.txt. Then, we can use the following
    expression for the Argument property of the Execute Process Task:
    "/C COPY /B "  +  @[User::FILES] + " C:\\Temp\\Destination\\" +   @[User::FILE_NAME]
    Note: Pay attention to the spaces in the double quotes in the expression.

  • Execute Process Task - How to output command?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm currently running an SSIS package that reaches out to a remove SFTP server and pulls files to my local server.  I've recently run into a problem where it's not properly pulling a list of the files on the remote server (so that I can pull them each
    one at a time and log the transfer).  Part of the solution is utilizing an execute process task object to call the SFTP client (in this case WinSCP) and issue a command to connect to the remote server and request a list of the files in the remote folder:
    Executable
    C:\WinSCP\WinSCP.com
    Arguments
    /command "open sftp://user:[email protected]:10022/folder" "option confirm off" "ls files*.csv" "exit"
    The arguments line is put together via an expression, the file group query (ls files*.csv) changes to different types of files as I loop through them to get grouped lists (ls files*.txt, ls files*.gz, etc.).  Now what I'm trying to look for is a way
    to have the actual command executed outputted to the output window, variable, or file so that I can see what's actually being put together via expression.  I imagine this is just an option somewhere that I can toggle on but I haven't been able to find
    it in BIDS.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    Hi Tom,
    I went ahead and did that, it now exits but I still don't have a log file.  I did check the online documentation at the link you provided and it looks like it's in order.  Currently the command looks like this:
    WinSCP.com /command "open sftp://user:[email protected]:10022/folder" "option confirm off"
    "ls files*.csv" exit "/log "C:\MyWinSCPSession.log""
    I've tried a couple other variations, playing around with moving around the quotes but no dice.  I don't even get an error message.  I can confirm that there are files with
    the exact file mask I'm looking for on the target server and that the command works when I type it manually (without the logging).  Any additional help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Glen
    *Note: I should add that when I execute the command above, it does all other tasks successfully...search and connect to host, authenticate username/password, start session, output
    file list, etc. and it's all printed out in the command window.  It just doesn't seem to want to log anything.

  • Using UNC Path With Execute Process Task

    I have an Execute Process task in which the process can either delete, get or put files to an SFTP site. The executeable takes arguments in the following format:
    "host" "user" "password" "put" "full local path/filename" "full remote path/filename"
    I have the task configured as follows:
    RequireFullFileName: True
    Executeable: \\server\groups\Development\ETLFiles\ETL_Utilities\ocsshhelper\ocsshhelper.exe
    Arguments: sftp user password \\server\groups\Developmement\ETLFiles\ETL_Data_Files\CT_FS_Export_20081113.csv stateExport\export
    WorkingDirectory: \\server\groups\Development\ETLFiles\ETL_Utilities\ocsshhelper
    WindowStyle: Hidden
    Arguments, Executeable and WorkingDirectory have been configured as Expressions. When I execute the package in BIDS from my Windows  XP SP3 machine, The task fails with the following error:
    [Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "\\server\groups\Development\ETLFiles\ETL_Utilities\ocSSHHelper\ocsshhelper.exe" "sftp user password put \\server\groups\Development\ETLFiles\ETL_Data_Files\CT_FS_Export_20081113.csv stateExport\export" at "\\server\groups\Development\ETLFiles\ETL_Utilities\ocSSHHelper", The process exit code was "-532459699" while the expected was "0".
    My domain account has 'effective' full control rights to the location of ocsshhelper.exe.
    It could be that the executable does not support UNC paths, and I'm checking that. I have another package that uses this same application, but uses the physical path, and there are no problems. Does the Execute Process task have issues with UNC paths?
    Thank you for your help
    cdun2

    Actually it doesn't work properly in SQL Server 2008 R2.  I have a similar EP task.  If I set the working directory to \\server\share\subdir the task fails. However, if I map a drive latter to the \\server\share and set working directory to <drive>:\subdir
    it works

    Hi Praveen,
    After testing the issue in my environment, I find the issue is caused by the code in Arguments is incorrect.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

  • SSIS execute process task error on unziping

  • 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.

  • Execute process task

    Hi,
    Can you please let  me know the  list of the command prompt switches used in execute process task of SSIS for arguments with their functionality?

    It depends on what command prompt utility you're calling inside.Arguments property of Execute process task accepts arguments as defined in your utility which you're using inside it
    For example if you're calling bcp you can use all switches of bcp like -c ,-T,-S etc
    similarly for WinSCP you just need to pass -script = <Script File path> 
    So you cant standardize the arguments list
