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 != ""

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.
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe" " -f CSV \\xxxxxxxxr.rdn\files\shares\xxx_Data\ImportData\www.xxxxxxx.hapepage.htm\xxxxxx\Watches\Warnings\myfile\CSV \\xxxxxxxxr.rdn\files\shares\xxx_Data\ImportData\www.xxxxxxx.hapepage.htm\xxxxxx\Watches\Warnings\myfiles\www.shp"
at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Could long file name be a problem too?
Thanks for your help in advance..

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

Error while calling pscp.exe through a batch file which is called in SSIS Execute Process Task

Hi,
I am using Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, SSIS 2012. I am trying to copy files from a remote location by calling pscp.exe through a batch file (FileCopy.bat at location M:\bin\) which is referenced in a SSIS Execute Process Task. My batch file content
is,
ECHO OFF
echo. >> M:\Prod\bin\SourceFile_FileLog.txt
echo %date% - %time% - Copy Start (XYZ_a201211155952avx0_69999.NOR.gz) >> M:\Prod\bin\SourceFile_FileLog.txt
M:\ProdFiles\bin\pscp.exe -unsafe -scp -pw aaaaa myuser@sourceserver:/ABC_data/*.NOR.gz M:\Prod\FromMediation\
echo %date% - %time% - Copy Complete >> M:\Prod\bin\SourceFile_FileLog.txt
The error I am getting is
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "M:\bin\FileCopy.bat" "" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Exactly same setup but using Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise and SSIS 2005, this works fine and copies the files successfully.
Please provide some guidance on this.
Thank you!

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.

Execute Process Task showing all the SSIS Config variables in SQL Job History

Hi,
Am using an Execute Process task to execute my child package. And executing the Parent package from a SQL JOB.
I am using the same config file for both Parent and Child packages.
After the Job execution was Successful / Failure, in Job history it is showing all the variables from Config file which are not using in Child package. With the below message.
"The package path referenced an object that cannot be found"
I don't want to catch all the Variables information in Job History. Instead I need only the Success / Failure message.

NOT able to call exe in ssis execute process task

I am creating an SSIS package in which we execute an exe file from the EXECUTE PROCESS COMPONENT which contains the logics and uses few sp’s which checks the expiry dates of the certificates of some URL's. But when we keep the file on sever and run it through
TWS it is showing the error "FILE NOT IN PATH" .But if we keep the exe file in local path then it executes through TWS. If we run the package locally without TWS then it runs successfully no matter if the exe is in local path or placed in a shared
server folder. So i want to know is there any constraints in running the EXE file from the shared folder through TWS.
Note:
1.TWS- IBM Tivoli workload scheduler to call and execute ssis packages
2. TWS is install in different server (Like server A)
3. SSIS package and exe file located in different server (Like server B)
4. We are using dynamic path in SSIS package to locate SSIS package and exe file.

Hi SR_MCTS,
According to your description, a package that execute an exe file with Execute Process Task can be executed successfully without using TWS or the exe file stores in local path with TWS. While it fails when use TWS to execute the package with the exe file
stores in shared folder.
If in this scenario, it seems that the logon user that use TWS to execute the package has no access to the shared folder. We can logon as the relevant account or change some relevant settings on TWS to make sure the user has access to shared folder which
hosts the exe file.
Besides, since I’m not familiar with TWS, I’m not sure whether the issue is caused by there are some constraints in running the exe file from the shared folder through TWS. As to this issue about TWS, I suggest you post the question in the following forum:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/forum?id=11111111-0000-0000-0000-000000002658&tags=tws. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

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.

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 - Error :The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0".

I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
WorkingDirectory : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM
Executable :      C:\SQL_bat_Files\SQL5\TC_CTI\customer.bat
The customer.bat file will have the following code:
tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:\SQL_bat_Files\sql5\TC_CTI\sql_files\customer1"
the .sql file will be generated at:  C:\SQL_bat_Files\sql5\TC_CTI\sql_files\customer1.
The Problem:
The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:\SQL_bat_Files\SQL5\TC_CTI\package_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
Can anyone help ?

Jwelch,
Thanks for the input,
"Change the SuccessValue property of the Execute Process task from 0 to 2 (which means that you will get a failure if there are no differences, since TableDiff returns 0 in that case)."
           -- Not possible b'coz if there is no difference in the tables, which is also a possiblility, the job will fail.
"FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue to FALSE (which means it won't fail regardless of the code returned)."
          -- Does this mean the job will never fail? Lets say the target table doesnt exist, then, by setting "FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue to FALSE " will the job fail? I guess my question is, how is what you've suggested different from setting "ForceExecutionResult = Success". Both the cases will show the task status "Success" even if there is an error.
Is there a way to keep the property of job 'Failure' if there is any generic errors like target table not found or say, the path given for .sql file output is not valid etc.
Thanks again,
Little_Birdie.

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

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

Execute Process Task error-Unzip Files

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

SSIS Execute Process Task DDE/OLE

I have a package that executes an executable via Execute Process task, and that executable needs Adobe Reader to work. It sends PDF faxes to Adobe which converts them to tiff. This is a third party executable that is part of an enterprise Fax
Server so I have no control over changing the process at all. This being said, for whatever reason, it wont run as a SQL job. When the executable runs, it is passed a file name. It (the EXE) opens Adobe via DDE/OLE, not sure, it just launches
it, and covnverts/sends the fax.
It runs under BIDS with my authority, it runs under BIDS with SQLADMIN authority
It runs as a "deployed" package (right click choose run job) under the same authority as the SQL job is (SQLADMIN)
It runs from the command line with DTEXEC
When executed as a JOB, calling the DTSX from the catalog, it does not throw an error, but through debugging, we've found it stops at the executable, because the executable can't launch the Adobe instance. It continues to run and never fail, but not do
anything.
Is there something in SSIS (2012) that I need to configure to allow this to work?.
Thanks!!

Unfortunately, the Proxy didn't help. I had made one before, but I followed the article just in case I had done something incorrect. To summarize, the package calls an execute process task which runs a program called SendFax,exe and passes it
a filename. SendFax.exe internally instantates Adobe Reader and uses it for conversion from PDF to TIF. Outside of the SQL Agent job it runs fine. When launched by the Agent, it fails to instantate Adobe.
Also, when the dtsx is run from the command line using DTEXEC it runs fine. Putting the command line in a batch file and double clicking it, it runs fine. Executing that same batch file with "Highest permissions" in Windows Task Manager, it fails
as well.
Finally, I made a simple SSIS to launch AcroReader32 (in a 32 bit instance) in SSIS but putting out an execute process task that does nothing but launch Adobe, it fails. I remove Adobe 11 and installed 10.1, it still fails. I turned off all the security
in Adobe reader I could find, and it still fails.
This is making me crazy.....

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
Arguments: /C "sqoop import -connect "jdbc:sqlserver://mysystem:1433;database=test;username=myuser;password=mypwd;" -table emp -target-dir /user/emptable -m 1"
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
