Master child Package Example package

Hi Experts,
Can any of you guys please send some sample packages for master - child packages (dtsx files) which includes all configuration from an xml file to [email protected]?
XML conf --> Master --> Childs
I am new to SSIS and i just wanted to have a look at the options in those packages.

mukejee

Hi Mukejee,
To setup the association between the parent package and child package, there are two approaches:
Through passing variables. Specify the child package for the Execute Package Task in the parent package, and then add a Parent package variable type configurations in the child package.
Through passing parameters. Specify the child package for the Execute Package Task in the parent package, and map the parent parameters and the child parameters. No additional actions are needed in the child package.
Besides, the XML Configurations for a package is not affected by the factor that whether it is a parent/child package of another package or not.
Here, I have created two SSIS 2012 packages with the parent-child relationship that you can download from my
SkyDrive. In the parent package, I create a variable VarMaster with the value “This is a parent package variable.” In the child package, I create a variable VarChild with the value “This is a child package variable”, and use a Script Task to display the
value of the VarChild variable. You can see that the Script Task returns different values when we run the parent package or run the child package.

Master package and Child Package

Hi Experts,
While doing the configuration for connection managers in a package I had noticed that if I don't hard code or give some invalid the user id and password for the database, even though it is configured it is throwing error while opening.
Is it the right way of doing?
Also when I run the master package all associated child packages are opening in different windows. Is it normal?
Please advice.
Regards
Mukejee

Hi Mukejee,
Except for executing a SSIS package in BIDS, we can also execute a package using the following methods:
Execute SSIS Package using DTEXEC.EXE Command Line Utility
Execute SSIS Package using DTEXECUI.EXE Utility
Execute SSIS Package using SQL Server Agent Job
In each method, we can specify the package configurations for the package at runtime. For the detailed information, please see:

Concurrent Execution of Child Packages from a Master Package

Hi,
I have a package which I am calling 9 times from a Controlling / Master Package. Its all running fine, except the Child package exceution is limited to 6 package only. 3 sit dorman in the pre executed state (shows as white on the control flow).
Is SSIS limiting how many packages can be executed concurrently? Is there a setting for this?
Many thanks,
Andy.

Execute Child packages parallel in loop

hi ,
I have a master package which calls the child packages from a folder dynamically, when i tried this with execute package task inside a for each loop container , it is only looping one child package which is connected in the execute package task connection.
Could any please suggest me a way to achieve this task. I want the parent package to read the 1st child package , start and read next package, start and ....read last package, start.
Thanks in advance

Here is an example of calling child package within a loop, but downside is that they are executed sequential:
An alternative is to create the master package with
BIML (loop through folder and create an execute package task for each package):

Event logging in Parent-Child packages

Hello,
I have a set of Parent-Child SSIS packages. A Parent package invokes a bunch of child packages via "Execute Package Tasks".
I have set up custom event logging (to a SQL table) inside both Parent and Child Packages' Event Handlers (OnPreExecute, OnPostExecute, OnError).
I noticed that when a Child Package raises an event, both the Child Package's event handler and the Parent Package's event handler get fired, thereby creating duplicate event logging entries.
So, as a quick work around, I disabled event handlers in Child packages hoping that the Parent Package's event handlers will catch and log all events nicely. However, when the Parent Package's event handler writes event details to the table, it uses the
Parent Package's System::PackageId, System::PackageGUID and System::PackageName rather than that of the Child Package that originally raised the event!. So, my event log table records all events as if they were raised by the Parent Package!
Is it possible to disbale event bubbling up from Child Packages to the Parent package?
What options do I have to fix this problem?
Thanks

I came across this same issue and found a pretty nice workaround.
In brief, I used a Stored Procedure to write the OnError to a Logging table. So when this stored procedure was called I checked if the error was already in the logging table, and if it was then no record would be inserted.
I was already using the logging method 2 detailed here with a few changes.
To the PackageLog table I added a ParemtExecutionID value, which was passed into the child package through a Parent Variable Configuration. So for the OnPreExecute handler, the Parent Package passed NULL for the ParemtExecutionID, but the Child Package passed
in the Variable.
In the ErrorLog table I added a SourceID column, which is the GUID of the task that generated the error. In the Parent/Child Package configuration, the SourceID is the same in both OnError handlers.
So then when the Parent OnError handler calls the stored procedure, it checks if an ErrorLog record exists for the ParentExecutionID and SourceID combination.
Below is the OnError Stored Procedure I used. (Note: In my example only the Child Package has a Queue ID value.)
Create Procedure [dbo].[usp_Integration_Log_Error] (
@Execution_Id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER,
@Queue_Id INTEGER = NULL,
@Source_Name VARCHAR(255),
@Source_Id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER,
@Err_Code INTEGER,
@Err_Message NVARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ErrorCount INTEGER
IF @Queue_Id IS NULL
SELECT
@ErrorCount = Count(*)
FROM
INTEGRATION_ERROR IE
INNER JOIN
INTEGRATION_LOG IL ON IE.EXECUTION_ID = IL.EXECUTION_ID
WHERE
IL.PARENT_EXECUTION_ID = @Execution_Id AND
IE.SOURCE_ID = @Source_Id
IF ISNULL(@ErrorCount,0) = 0
INSERT INTO
INTEGRATION_ERROR (
EXECUTION_ID,
QUEUE_ID,
SOURCE_NAME,
SOURCE_ID,
ERR_CODE,
ERR_MESSAGE
VALUES (
@Execution_Id,
@Queue_Id,
@Source_Name,
@Source_Id,
@Err_Code,
@Err_Message
END

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.

Script task within child package - breakpoint wont hit, trying to find missing variable

Im calling a child package and its failing on a script task with a message which indicates one of the variables cant be found
The script threw an exception: The element cannot be found in a collection.
So I remove the readonly/readwrite section, and place a breakpoint on the very first line of the script task. When I run the main package, by breakpoint on the child package script task isnt hit but I still get the error about the missing variable.
How can I find out which variable its complaining about?

You can raise an event in the script using FireInformation and pass into it the variable content as string
examples:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136054.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1
The variable content will put into the Output window (go to View menu to enable it).

Single XML configuration file for all the SSIS packages(including parent and child packages)

Hi
I have some 16 ssis packages. source Db and destination Db for these packages are common. I am calling these child packages in a master package.
I want to use only one XML config file for this master.
How do i use same for all child packages?
and can i do it with parent package variable?

I created a master package with a variable master, and in value i have entered the configuration file path.
Hi vjp dinu,
You should create variables in the parent package to pass values to variables in each child package rather than pass the file path of the XML Configurations file of the parent package.
As Visakh mentioned, you can achieve your goal by creating corresponding variables in the parent package for each child package, and enable Package Configurations for the parent package so that you can control the values through the XML Configurations file
for the variables of the parent package.
Supposing there is a variable FilePath in child package 1, a variable ServerName in child package 2, then, we need to create two variables pFilePath, pServerName in the parent package. After configuring the Parent package variable in each child package (e.g.
mapping pFilePath to FilePath, pServerName to ServerName), you can enable XML Configurations for the parent package, and expose the value property for both pFilePath and pServerName variables. In this way, you can modify the XML Configurations file of the
parent package and the specified values will passed to the child packages.

Purpose of Update/Overwrite Hierarchy in Import master data package

Hi All,
Please let me know what is the difference in update and overwrite option in import master data package. Here when i tried running the package, both the option are altering the hierarchy of existing member.
My requirement is just to add a new member ID, if it already exist it should not affect those records and only update the new master data records.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramanathan

Hi Ramanathan,
You can run Import Master Data DM package in BPC to perform delta master data load. While you run DM package you get option to load Master Data from BW/BI where you can select:
1. MERGE: this will keep old data intact and also load new master data, and
2. COPY and REPLACE: This will copy new data and delete old master data.
As per your requirement, you need to select the First option. If you select Update option then it will not delete old master data, instead update the members and hierarchy according to the parent-children design which you would have given in the dimension membersheet.
Hope this corresponds to your requirement.
Rgds,
Poonam

Child package cannot read param value from parent ssis package

Hi all,
I think I must be crazy !! i have a big problem in my ssis project .
i have more than 40 package one parent and 39 childs
i use configuration method to get variable values from parent to child packages and it work well .. but when i copy my ssis project
to the production server i face the following problem .. childs package didn't read the variables values from the parent package
i revised the configuration many times i can't find any missing !!
any help please ...
Thanks,

Do not copy the packages from the projet to the production server, but you must generate the manifest installation including your configuration, and deploy them.
Note : not forget to include the configuration.

Error running child packages from parent package - Error 0xC0011008

Hey...
I am running a parent SSIS package (running sp2, 9.0.3042) that calls several child packages.
On our development server, we now cannot run this because we get 1 or more of these errors:
"Error 0x80004003 while preparing to load the package. Invalid pointer . "
"Error 0xC0011008 while preparing to load the package. Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored. . "
It is not occuring on the same packages. It varies every time it is run.
I can run every one of the child packages individually, using the same login ID that the parent is executed under.
The parent package works fine on my local machine and other servers running the same version of SSIS. Just not on this server.
Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks
BobP

I have the same error with no parent child package relationship. I have changed the "Max Concurrent Executables" in each package from -1 to 10 and got no change. My code is below:
List
<string> fileList = new List<string>();
private
void checkedListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
//this.fileList.Add(checkedListBox1.SelectedValue.ToString().Trim());
this.fileList.Add("name");
private
void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string @fileName;
foreach (string str in fileList)
@fileName = str;
string pkgLocation;
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.
Application app;
DTSExecResult pkgResults_Sql;
pkgLocation =
@"C:\" + @fileName + ".dtsx";
app =
new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application();
Package pkgIn = new Package();
pkgIn = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation,
null);
pkgResults_Sql = pkgIn.Execute();

SSIS 2012 - Parent/Child Package "Object" Type Variables

How do I pass Variables of Object type from Parent to Child packages?
I am using the SSIS 2012 project deployment model.
Thanks

You can do it as outlined in
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2010/01/25/ssis-snack-passing-parent-starttime-to-the-child-package.aspx
But
When you need an object it is typically a recordset, then just pass the results, or execute the query in a package.

Parent package shouldn't fail irrespective of that child package fails of success..

Hi friends,
I have a small requirement here.
we have 10 child packages and one parent package. Calling the child packages from parent.
irrespective of that child package fails of success , parent package should pick the next package..
EX.. Parent package calling the 5th child package, due to some error it got failed. Now parent package shouldn't fail it will skip the 5th child package and call the next 6th child package ...
if the child package success parent should have to call the next one..
if the child package fails parent package shouldn't fail and it calls the next child package..
How we can implement in this in ssis..

See how you can apply logic as discussed here
The key is to set propagate variable to false within OnError event handler
The logic would be like this with the only exception being you need to use execute package task inside loop

Cannot install Sample Master Detail (Packaged Application)

When trying to install the Sample Master Detail packaged application
on the new APEX.Oracle.com (running Application Express 4.2.0.00.22),
I'm getting an error.
After selecting it from the Packaged Applications page, and clicking the "Install Application" button
on the Application Builder/Packaged Applications/Sample Master Detail/Install screen,
I get the following:
Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-00001: unique constraint (APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_MESSAGES_IDX1) violated

end;

I tried in a workspace that had some existing applications, and a colleague tried
in a new workspace that had just been allocated by APEX.Oracle.com.
I was able to successfully install the Sample Data Loading application after trying to install
the Sample Master Detail packaged application.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance!

What target property must be specified while passing a object type variable to child package in SSIS 2012

What target property must be specified while passing a object type variable to child package in SSIS 2012???

As shown below, there is variable strVar and it's Value property is selected. Likewise you have to select the property that you need to pass.
