Find out why an SSIS package takes so long execute ?

Is there any guideline which shows how to find out why a package is taking "too long" to execute ? I guess one situation could be that an SQL query (if you have one) is taking too long. Perhaps the query could be optimized or perhaps its table
could use indexes. Any more scenarios which can make execution take too long ?

I guess it would be better to google "ssis package running slowly" or something like that and read each post to learn reasons for slow execution. Some links I got -

  • I am trying to find out why my Face Time is no longer working. I tried to contact support but found out it costs $19.99 to do so! Any update on this problem?

    Can someone give me an update to the failed Face Time ?

    No know knows why or when it'll be fixed (cept maybe for Apple and they're not talking)
    It has been down since last weekend. I know that there was an app update for those using desktops or laptops, and iOS users are advised to update their iOS to teh latest (7.1.1) however some have done that and still report facetime failures.
    ALl folks can really do is wait and see. Either it'll fix itself or Apple will come out with something about it.

  • Can't find out why my DB is that big

    I've got a database which is 260 GB in size. Since I know the application behind the DB, I know the DB should never be that big. Even more, one night I noticed that the DB has increased 30 GB where no obviously activity in the application happened.
    The database has multiple tables, but only one of them has the big size of ~260 GB (checked trough Object Explorer Details and by various TSQL-queries). So I know the table for sure, but not the reason of the size of it. It's actual not possible the data
    inside it needs the storage, because the table has only 120'000 rows and only 17 columns. Non of the columns are LOBs, there are only datatypes of uniqueidentifier, int, varchar, nvarchar and datetime. Even when I take the max of 8 KB for a row and multiplicate
    it by 120'000 rows, the database should be smaler than 1 GB.
    I already raised suspiction the index or the statistic could be that big as some queries a had run results a Index-size of 220 GB. Other queries on the other hand results a small index.
    However, meanwhile I've dropped that Index (moreover, the Primary Key behind it) and also dropped the statistics. There is no index at all at moment (I will recreate the PK_Index after the size issue is solved). I tried to shrink the database several
    times, but I doesn't work. The size remains 260 GB. Yesterday I run the sp_clean_db_file_free_space which took 6 hours (!) but also doesen't decrease the database file. At moment I run the sp_clean_db_free_space SP, but I don't believe this will help me.
    So my questions are:
    * How to find out why the database is that big?
    * How to decrease it?
    Has somebody an idea? Thanks...

    What is database recovery model? If it is full can backup the db then backup the log and then issue DBCC SHRINKFILE  to reduce the physical size fo the log file.
    What does it return?
    SELECT      @@SERVERNAME AS SqlServerInstance,
                db.name AS DatabaseName,
                SUM(CASE WHEN af.groupid = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 8192.0E * af.size / 1048576.0E END) AS DatabaseSize,
                SUM(CASE WHEN af.groupid = 0 THEN 8192.0E * af.size / 1048576.0E ELSE 0 END) AS LogSize,
                SUM(8192.0E * af.size / 1048576.0E) AS TotalSize
    FROM        master..sysdatabases AS db
    INNER JOIN master..sysaltfiles AS af ON af.[dbid] = db.[dbid]
    WHERE       db.name NOT IN('distribution', 'Resource', 'master', 'tempdb', 'model', 'msdb')       -- System databases
                AND db.name NOT IN('Northwind', 'pubs', 'AdventureWorks')                 -- Sample databases

  • The transaction log for database 'WSS_Content' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

    Hi all,
    Observing the below error in event logs once in every day at 3:30 AM on the on SQL Server Machine, it is being used for TFS 2010.
    The transaction log for database 'WSS_Content' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
    Kindly advice me here on what to do?
    Thanks in advance

    First thing to check is, what is happening at 3:30am to cause the log to fill up?  Is there any maintenance tasks being run against the DB, such as index re-organizations or rebuilds?  If so, take a look at what the job is doing, maybe it could
    be tuned (ex:  A Maintenance Plan with a rebuild indexes task will rebuild *every* index whether it needs it or not.  Look at using something that checks how fragmented an index is, and then intelligently determines what, if anything, to do to that
    index.)
    Basically, the error is telling you that SQL is trying to do something in the DB, and has filled up the log (either because it's not getting backed up often enough, or the transaction in question is running *very* long, or your log is set to not auto-grow)
    So, a couple possible solutions:
    Increase the frequency of Transaction Log backups of WSS_Content (only works if the DB is in Full Recovery)
    If you've got the disk space, turn on auto-growth for the TLog (or just manually grow it larger) {This will work for both Full and Simple Recovery}
    It would be nice to know what's causing the space to not be re-used, but with this occuring at 3:30am, you'll either need to set up an Agent job to run around that time and record its results, or manually run something like "select log_reuse_wait_desc from
    sys.databases where name = 'WSS_Content';"  Me, I prefer to be soundly sleeping at 3:30am and would set up an Agent job to run from say about 3:00am to 3:45am once per minute (maybe even more frequently.)
    DON'T shrink the log, though.  SQL will idealy grow the log as large as it needs it (if autogrowth is enabled) and no more.  If you shrink the file, SQL will just have to re-grow it later again, which can affect performance.

    Getting the error "Adobe Send cannot currently send this file" how can I find out why?

    Hey James,
    Please let me know what kind of file are you trying to send using 'Adobe Send' online service.
    Does this happen with every file you try to send or any specific one?
    Have you tried using a different browser? What happens? Check with your internet connection speed as well.
    Hope to hear from you.

    This is what's causing the crash, and it sounds related to PrintFab.
    From googling, it looks like removing /library/printers/ppd plugins/printfabpde.plugin will get rid of the crash, but I don't know if that will  make the driver unusable.
    Hope this help.

  • HT1977 How would I find out why a particular app, In-A-Visit, was removed from app Store?

    How would I find out why a particular app, In-A-Visit, was removed from app Store?

    Ask the app developer. Maybe they will tell you why... Apple will not disclose the reason to you unless you are the developer. It's entirely possible that the developer removed it.

    Garmin is sending you to Apple because it is Apple that would have to give you a refund as the actual point of sale.  However, Apple states all sales are final.
    Apple is sending you to Garmin because it is Garmin's fault their maps are out of date and Apple doesn't write the software.  They may not even be looking that deeply and simply perceiving it as a programming "bug" it is up to Garmin to solve.
    Who know whose fault it is that Garmin isn't getting up to date data to put in their maps.
    Ultimately I think you stand the best chance in getting a refund from Apple though it isn't guaranteed.  Apple is the cashier.  You just have to convince them this isn't just a line of code omitted from an application and isn't something that will be soon corrected by Garmin.  Make it clear it isn't a problem with the application running on your device, it is a problem with the data it contains.  Either that or you have to hope Garmin will feel so bad about it they will delve down into their slush fund and send you a refund.

  • First generation backup failed.  How do I find out why?

    My first generation iPod touch backup Failed.  How do I find out why?

    I back up my iphone and ipod touch to the same Mac.  I've never had a problem before with either one.  My Mac treats each one as an individual device.  The error message popped up at the end of my ipod sync this afternoon.
    I took your advice and checked my backup folder. There were several files shown and I moved what I thought was the correct backup file to another location and synced my ipod.  No problem.  I then checked the old backup file and noticed that the file name did not match (they were significantly different).  I probably moved the wrong backup file.  So I moved that file back, re-synced both devices and everything worked great.
    So, I can't say for certain that your advice was correct.  It may have been a glitch and all I needed to do was to re-sync instead of panicing.  But I appreciate the quick response.
    Thanks Illaass.
