Getting SQL Server Agent running

I am trying to get my SQL Server Agent running, and no conventional means thus far have worked.
I set it to run automatically in the Services window of the Control Panel. Attempting to run it from there yields the error "The SQL Server Agent (BENTLEYECAD) service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they
are not in use by services or programs"
Attempting to start the Server agent in the Server configuration manager yields the error "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details"
The resulting error log in SQLAGENT.OUT is

I have installed this version of SQL alongside Promise V8i (M). Any advice on how to get this server agent running is welcome

I see.
I'm not sure if it's Express or not, how can I tell? The start-up for the server management studio just says "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2"
If this is the case, will any other version of SQL besides Express work? or is it only specific ones?
Thanks,

Unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1

I am unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1. Log message is as follows:
Attempting to load library 'xplog70.dll' into memory. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Failed to verify Authenticode signature on DLL 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\xplog70.dll'.
Error: 17750, Severity: 16, State: 0.
Could not load the DLL xplog70.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: (null).

Hi JFriedley,
According to your error message, there might three reasons for this issue.
xplog70.dll is corrupt, you need to check if you have any SQL Server running on same file version and same production
edition. If xplog70.dll is corrupt, you can copy it from the new server where agent is running fine to your problematic server.
Native client not installed properly. If you try applying any latest Service Pack or Cumulative Update then check if the SQL Server Agent can start, if that also doesn’t solve issue then try to reinstalling SQL Server Native client from SQL Server setup
files.
There is a similar issue about error 17750, you can review the following article.

Getting SQL Server Express Running

I'm trying to get SQL Server Express running on my home computer that runs Window 7 Professional.
So far, I have downloaded and installed SQL Server Express. The Windows Start list shows Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.
I've seen several references to SQL Server Management Studio Express and am ready to download and install that. The download site says "You must install .NET Framework 2.0 and MSXML 6.0 Parser before you install SSMSE."
I already have Visual Studio 2010 Professional installed. Does that satisfy the .NET Framework 2.0 requirement? If not, do I need to download .NET Framework 2.0?
Regarding the MSXML Parser, I clicked on MSXML 6.0 Parser and was taken to a site headed "Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - February 2007." Text there said "... a collection of standalone install packages that provide additional value
for SQL Server 2005." My question, then, is should I download and install MSXML 6.0 Parser?
I'll appreciate any guidance.

Hi, it sounds like you installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express engine only. To get the client tools, SQL Server Management Studio, install SQLEXPRADV_X64_ENU.exe (or X86 if on a 32-bit box) from:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30438
This SQLEXPRADV package includes both the engine and client tools. Since you're already installed engine, just select the client tools feature in the feature selection dialog and you should be good to go. Once you install SSMS, launch it and
connect to your instance by using <machine name>\SQLEXPRESS where SQLEXPRESS is the default value used during setup for the instance name.

SQL Server Agent running SSIS package fails Unable to determine if the owner of job has server access

I have a web application developed through VS 2012 which has a button on a form that when operated starts a SQL Server agent job on the server that runs an SSIS package. The website and the instance of SQL Server with the agent and SSIS package are
on the same windows 2008 r2 server. When the button is operated no exceptions are raised but the SSIS package did not execute.
When I look in the logfileviewer at the job history of the sql server agent job I see that the job failed with message...
The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (DOMAINNAME\userid) of job runWebDevSmall has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DOMAINNAME\userid'<c/> error code 0x6e. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15404)).,00:00:00,0,0,,,,0
...even though DOMAINNAME\userid is in the logins for the sql server and has admin authorities.
Could someone show me what I need to do to get this to run? Thanks tonnes in advance for any help, Roscoe

This can happen when the network is too slow to allow a timely completion of the verification. Or the account running has no such right.
I suggest you try using the SA account for the job as it does not require to poll the AD.

Sql server agent job local path

hi
i m running my package in sql server 2012, in which i am giving network path for flat file destination.
and its working fine.
but if i give m local path, its giving me error " cannot open data file"
nothing is wrong with package.
any help?

Hi coool_sweet,
Based on the error message that "cannot open the datafile'', there are two causes:
The account that SQL Agent is using does not have the correct permissions for the file or for the folder that contains the file.
Another process or user has the file open.
The following resolutions correspond to the previous list of causes:
Make sure the current execute user has access to the file and the folder that contains the file. We can create a SQL Server Agent proxy account. This proxy account must use a credential that lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that has the
required permissions. For more details, please see:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2163/running-a-ssis-package-from-sql-server-agent-using-a-proxy-account/
The "another user" may be Microsoft Visual InterDev. Close any Visual InterDev projects that contain a data connection to the file. Please close all instances of text file and re-run the job.
Besides, we can use a tool like
SQL Server Profiler to see what is happening when you run the package.
Thanks,

I tried running the package using just my c drive without partition, C:\Nbr_Rolls.dtsx, but still getting the same

Problem Running SSIS Package with a SQL Server Agent

SQL Server: SQL Server 2012
VS: Visual Studio 2012
Hello,
      I have been having a problem running SSIS packages by using a SQL Server Agent job. I first created these SSIS packages in a separate IS project in Visual Studio. I imported the packages to the Integration Services (Package
Store) instance on my SQL Server and tried to create a job that would run them from there.
      At first I read around about needing a proxy account to allow the agent/packages to access the file system since these packages are importing data from a flat file in the SQL database. So I created a temporary admin user to
use as the user for the agent. I did this by going to Services.msc on the server and linked the account the agent's "logon as". Then arose another issue where I am getting an error about using the incorrect type for my connection managers.
The connection manager "TestFile" is an incorrect type. The type required is "OLEDB". The type available to the component is "FLATFILE". Source: Data Flow Task Flat File Destination [2]     Description:
Cannot open the datafile "O:\*****\Success.txt"
I am not sure what this even means as I am getting this error even with a test package that doesn't do anything with the database. I have just two flat file connection managers in this test project one for grabbing the source file and one for
creating the new test file.
I am not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Error trying to run SSIS Package via SQL Server Agent: DTExec: Could not set \Package.Variables[User::VarObjectDataSet].Properties[Value] value to System.Object

Situation:
SSIS Package designed in SQL Server 2012 - SQL Server Data Tools
Windows 7 - 64 bit.
The package (32 bit) extracts data from a SQL Server db to an Excel Output file, via an OLE DB connection.
It uses 3 package variables:
*) SQLCommand (String) to specify the SQL Statement to be executed by the package
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::ExcelOutputFile].Properties[Value]
Value: f:\Output Data.xls
*) EXCELOutputFIle (String) to specify path and filename of the Excel output file
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::SQLCommand].Properties[Value]
Value: select * from CartOrder
*) VarObjectDataSet (Object) to hold the data returned by SQL Server)
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::VarObjectDataSet].Properties[Value]
Value: System.Object
It consists out of 2 components:
*) Execute SQL Task: executes the SQL Statement passed on via a package variable. The resultng rows are stored in the package variable VarObjectDataSet
*) Script Task: creates the physical output file and iterates VarObjectDataSet to populate the Excel file.
Outcome and issue:The package runs perfectly fine both in SQL Server Data Tools itself and in DTEXECUI.
However, whenever I run it via SQL Server Agent (with 32 bit runtime option set), it returns the errror message below.
This package contains 3 package variables but the error stating that a package variable can not be set, pops up for the VarObjectDataSet only. This makes me wonder if it is uberhaupt possible to set the value of a package variable
of type Object.
Can anybody help me on this please ?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi Visakh,
thank you for your reply.
So, judging by your reply, not all package variables used inside a package need to be set a value for when run in DTEXEC ?
I already tried that but my package ended up in error (something to do with "... invocation ...." and that error is anything but clearly documented. Judging by the error message itself, it looks like it could be just about anything. that is why I asked my
first question about the object type package variable.
Now, I will remove it from the 'set values' list and try another go cracking the unclear error-message " ... invocation ...". Does an error message about " ... invocation ..." ring any bells, now that we are talking about it here ?
Thx in advance
Jurgen
Yes exactly
You need to set values only forthem which needs to be controlled from outside the package
Any variable which gets its value through expression set inside package or through a query inside execute sql task/script task can be ignored from DTExec
Ok I've seen the invocation error mostly inside script task. This may be because some error inside script written in script task. If it appeared after you removed the variable then it may because some reference of variable existing within script task.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

What config I need to check here ? This job is not able to access the package stored in the folder.
Sridhar

Thanks for your reply. I had created credentials and used this while creating the Proxy account. With the Proxy account I am able to execute the Job Successfully. Concern here is I used my NT account to create this Proxy. Suppose If I left from the
current project if some one is coming to this project later they need to change the credential with their NT account and run the JOB? Is this right way or we an create any other account in common? If so how?

SQL Server Agent Job intermittently running for packages on SSISDB

I created an SSIS package to pull data from OLAP Cube and push it into SQL Server using SSIS 2o12. I deployed the same on the SQL Server SSIS DB and created a SQL Server Agent Job to run the package. I have an account configured to run the job (not by
creating proxy in the job, but SQL Server Agent is running under that account), that has access to the OLAP Cube. The job is running sometimes and failing sometimes. Why the job behaving weirdly. Any help on the issue will help me a lot. I am using SQL Server
2012 SP1 enterprise edition (11.0.3000.0) (if it helps). The error message which pops up when it fails is :
OLE DB Source failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202009

Hi,
You are using Execute SQL Task to run a MDX query, right? If so, here is an approach/workaround for your reference. If the MDX query doesn’t have parameters, you can create a view in SQL running the MDX query and make the Execute SQL Task to get data
from that view. If the MDX query has parameters, you can try a Function and create a stored procedure, and then set the Execute SQL Task to execute that stored procedure.

Error logging when running SSIS on SQL Server Agent

I have SSIS package running on SQL Server Agent Job.
When I'm running it, I get error and I'm urget to see History Logs.
When look Error logs in SQL Server Object Explorer, I don't find errors on this day.
Where should I look for error messages related to SSIS. Any thing to be configured on Management Studio or Data Tool?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
As Russ posted, you need to expand the toggle to see the detailed information when viewing the Job history. Please see the screenshot below:
Besides, you can also edit the Job step, and switch to the Advanced tab to specify a job output file to log the detailed package execution failure information. The screenshot is for your reference:

VBScript Runs Correctly From Command Prompt, But Not From SQL Server Agent Job

I'm trying to run this script on my local machine to do some post-batch cleanup and it doesn't run correctly from the scheduled job (or when I invoke the job).
Here's the script in question:
Option Explicit
Const filePath = "C:\Documents and Settings\jmunn\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Logs\"
Const holdDays = 6
main
Sub Main()
ClearArchive
End Sub
Sub ClearArchive()
Dim fso 'As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim fld 'As Scripting.Folder
Dim f 'As Scripting.File
Dim delLogName, delLogOut, delCtr
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fld = fso.GetFolder(filePath)
delLogName = filePath & "Nightly Backup - Backup Logs Deleted" & ".txt"
Set delLogOut = fso.CreateTextFile(delLogName, True)
delLogOut.WriteLine(delLogName)
delLogOut.WriteLine("")
delLogOut.WriteLine("-- The following log files were deleted on " & DateValue(Now()) & " at " & TimeValue(Now()))
delLogOut.WriteLine("")
delCtr = 0
For Each f In fld.Files
If Left(f.Name, 48) = "Nightly Backup - SQL Server Databases_Subplan_1_" And Right(LCase(f.Name), 4) = ".txt" Then
If DateDiff("d", f.DateCreated, Date()) > holdDays Then
delLogOut.WriteLine(f.Name)
fso.DeleteFile f, True
delCtr = delCtr + 1
End If
End If
Next
If delCtr = 0 Then
delLogOut.WriteLine("No log files were deleted this run...")
End If
Set fld = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
delLogOut.Close
End Sub
If I put the script in its own file and run it from the command prompt, it runs just fine. If the script runs from the SQL Server Agent job, the for-loop will delete the files correctly, but the filenames
do not get written to the deletion log file and the counter does not get incremented, so according to the job log, nothing was deleted. Why does the script run differently from each invocation? It can't be a permission thing, the service that logs in has full
access to the directory and the files do get deleted. Any ideas out there?
Between this and other outstanding issues, I'm quickly losing faith in SQL Server. >=o(
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
John

the data directly into a nvarchar cell due to encoding differences.
I can't reproduce the string here as it is very very long.
I'm just looking for ideas really as to where it might be going wrong.
Here is what I know so far:
The procedure runs without issue when executed manually
I have checked permission issues, and that doesn't seem to be the problem. The agent runs under my own account and I am a sysadmin on the database
I split the procedure into seperate parts to locate exactly where the problem is occuring. Once again the seperate procedures run fine when executed manually but an error occurs when run through SQL Server agent.
When the query is run seperately through SQL Server Agent it gives a slightly different error. This leads me to believe it is an encoding issue. However I am getting the XML from a webpage and I can't change the encoding on the webpage.
line 1, character 38, unable to switch the encoding
I know this is a long shot since you can't replicate the issue but if anyone could give an idea as to where to start looking for an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here's how I'm taking the XML data and putting it into an nvarchar(max) column (Column Name TEXT):
Select @url = 'http://....'
EXEC @hr=sp_OACreate 'WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1',@win OUT
IF @hr <> 0 EXEC sp_OAGetErrorInfo @win
EXEC @hr=sp_OAMethod @win, 'Open',NULL,'GET',@url,'false'
IF @hr <> 0 EXEC sp_OAGetErrorInfo @win
EXEC @hr=sp_OAMethod @win,'Send'
IF @hr <> 0 EXEC sp_OAGetErrorInfo @win
INSERT #TextData(TEXT)
EXEC @hr=sp_OAGetProperty @win,'ResponseText'
IF @hr <> 0 EXEC sp_OAGetErrorInfo @win
EXEC @hr=sp_OADestroy @win
IF @hr <> 0 EXEC sp_OAGetErrorInfo @win

SSIS Import XML task running in SQL Server Agent fails

I have created an SSIS package to import some XML files into my SQL2014 datawarehouse. If I run this package through the visual studio designer it works fine. The XML files are stored on a remote share accessed via UNC path. When I schedule the package to
run using SQL server agent it fails with the following errors :-
Executed as user: SPRINGFIELD\MSSQL. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 12.0.2000.8 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.    Started: 12:01:53 Error: 2014-11-18 12:01:59.78

(1). Started: 12:01:53 Finished: 12:03:32 Elapsed: 98.859 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
The user MSSQL has been granted full permissions to the remote share. If I remove these permissions then I don't get an error - but I also don't get any data imported. I have granted the MSSQL user xp_cmdexec permission. Both my SQL server database engine
and agent are running as the MSSQL user.
There must be some permission step I am missing - can anyone tell me what it may be ?

FYI: The XSD path is hardcode... if you want it to be more flexible you can add an expression on that property:

JOB in Sql Server Agent should run multiple times.

Hi Guys,
I have a ETL SSIS job in Sql Server Agent, Which should run multiple times.
1. For Example : I scheduled a job at 10:00 PM, If the job fails at 10:00 PM it should run automatically again at 10:10 PM, if the job fails again at 10:10 PM then the job should run at 10:40 PM.
If the job gets success at first attempt i.e 10:00 PM, then it should not run at 10:10 PM.
Note : The time difference between jobs is 10 minutes and 30 minutes. And i know that we can run the job at regular intervals.
Thanks in advance

Just add retry attempts to whatever number you want (2 as per your original explanation) in Job step properties as below
Have a logic to include a delay of 10 mins . You can make use of WAITFOR function for that
