Execution of a batch file within SSIS fails in Sql Server Agent Job

Hi All,
I have an SSIS Package, which simply runs a batch file , the code for the batch file is
MOVE \\cambosnapp01\Claims\Analytics\NICB\CurrentAlerts\* \\cambosnapp01\Claims\Analytics\NICB\AlertsArchive
If i run the SSIS package manually it runs fine and moves all the files, however if i run the package through a Sql Agent Job it fails with the following error
The directory "\\Cambosnapp01\Claims\Analytics\NICB" does not exist
This is where the batch file is located, i am not able to understand if the SSIS package is running fine then why not the sql agent job?
I also tried to create a sql agent job using Operating System(CmdExec) and i copied my batch file code in the command i am running it as SQL Server Agent Service Account , and here it fails as
Executed as user: CAMELOT\svcDW. Access is denied. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed
Does this mean this user doesnt have the rights to excute a batch file? how did this user even come up i am not running it from this user i am running it from SQL Server Agent Service Account . I dont know who is that user and if he even has the rights to
execute a batch file.
Can someone please help me with any solution for this? either first way or second way anything works fine for me.
Thanks

Hi SQLDEV,
According to your description, you are experiencing the issue "The directory "\\Cambosnapp01\Claims\Analytics\NICB" does not exist" when run the SSIS package
in SSMS by using SQL Server Agent, right?
In your scenario, since you can run the package in SSDT manually. So as per my understanding, the issue can be caused by that the Services Account of your SQL Server Agent do not have the permission on that folder. To avoid this issue, you can set the folder
permission for your SQL Server Agent account or change the services account to an account who have the corresponding permission. Please refer to the link below to see the details.

Error while executing SSIS package which contains Script component through SQL Server Agent Job

Hello All,
I have written one SSIS 2012 package which is fetching records from CSV and put it into staging DB and from staging DB , using SSIS script component task, I am inserting data into Dynamics CRM. So far it is working fine when
I manually execute SSIS package.
but when I run the SSIS package using SQL server agent job, I encounter below error. After seeing below error at step "Insert TLM Headers Script Component " I understand that it is failing at script component which I have used in SSIS package,
but I am not sure what is the cause behind that? please advise.

domain\user account has not proper rights
That being said, often SSIS jobs require a proxy to be runnable and this is how you make one up

What is the process for run this Exe file
Can you plz suggest me step by step process
Kamal

While i'm trying to implement this below method
Step1 : Right Click SQL Server Agent. Select New -> Job. This will open a wizard to schedule a new
job.
Step2 : Select Steps from options given on the left side of wizard. This is the main place to set your
exe\program as a running step. Give some name to this step, Select Operating System (cmdexec) for the Type and give the full path of exe in Text box for Command.
ex:\\10.11.00.98(your application serverIP)\ch.exe

Hi,
Hopefully HOST() command will do it. For more info about HOST() command look for documentation. Hopefully it will work fine.

Error: Failed to acquire connection while exporting a file using SSIS package through SQl Server Agent job.

Hi Team,
I am running a sql server job which is loading data to a sharepoint document library.File is an excel format and is getting loaded
when executed through SSDT solution .But when i am using an SQL Agent job to pick up the file it doesnt get the path and agent job fails with the error "Failed to acquire connection".I have deployed the SSIS Package through SQL Server 2012 deployment
methodologies.
I am not able to trace the error of loading data from a sharepoint library.library. Sql agent jobs works fine when i give local path.The
account which is running the sql agent job is the same who has access to document library.I also tried to run the job through proxy account. I am using a xml configuraion to store my credentials.I am able to palce the same file to a network drive in the same
server through sql server agent job. The only problem is when I am trying to load the file to a sharepoint folder.
Thanks,
Arsa..

Is that the WebDAV method that you are suggesting here to map the n/w drive?
Its kind of webdav but you will be using windows nw drive to store data
yes, I am able to create the file to D: , but didn't check with the C:.
Try with c:, as c: require special permisssions

Running multiple SSIS packages using SQL Server Agent question.

I have a multitude of SSIS packages I want to run using SQL Server Agent. What would the best practice be for running these jobs using SQL Server Agent? One job per package or running all pakages from one job? If you have an answer can
you explain the technical reasoning behind your answer? Thanks in advance.
Stan Benner

Hi, maybe a bit more analysis will give a better answer
Do all the packages have to run in sequence? (if yes, single job better)
Can the list of packages to be executed be grouped by dependency (ex package 1,2 and 5 must run in sequence and can be executed by one job, while package 3,4 are not dependent on package 1,2 and 5 can be run by a separate job).
Can any jobs be run in parallel?
How often will the package execution sequence change?
How will you deploy your packages and job? (the more jobs to create the more install script needed and upgrade scenarios become messy).
My personal preference:
I create ONE ssis package which is executed by ONE sql agent job. lets call this 'PackageExecutionWrapper.dtsx'
PackageExectionWrapper then contains multiple 'Execute Package' tasks for the packages you want to execute.
In the package you can apply any package execution rules - which packages have to run after the other, which packages can run concurrently, which packages should only run if previous succeeded.
If you need to change the sequence, simple, just update the PackageExecutionWrapper package.

Will dynamic Excel commands in a C# Edit Script run ok as a SSISDB Package and a SQL Server Agent Job?

I've seen some conflicting things in terms of dynamic Excel commands running in a SSISDB Package and a scheduled SQL Server Agent Job...things like that it's not supported...that it won't work...etc...
It's a pretty simple script...to open up a .xlsx file and save it as a .xls file. I am trying to be proactive here and the reason I did it this way is because I could not source the .xlsx file and then I couldn't use OLE DB sourcing because I think the .xlsx
file wants you to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and that entails installing the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine and I cannot do that because our network version of Microsoft Office 2010 is 32-bit and in order to install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database
Engine 2010 it's prompting me to uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 and that is not possible.
Ugh!
So I'm hoping that I can promote and deploy this current SSIS Package to Production and create a SQL Server Agent Job that will successfully run this and its dynamic Excel commands.
Do you know of any hurdles with this? Any anomalies...struggles...
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
Here's the C# Script...which works perfectly client side...
string StrFileName = (Dts.Variables["User::FileName"].Value.ToString());
StrFileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(StrFileName);
string StringSourceFile = (Dts.Variables["User::FilePath"].Value.ToString()) + StrFileName + ".xlsx";
string StringDestinationFile = (Dts.Variables["User::FilePath"].Value.ToString()) + StrFileName + ".xls";
// This initiates the Excel Application
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application excelApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
// This Opens the Source .xlsx File from Emdeon ePaySmart
Workbook workbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(StringSourceFile, XlUpdateLinks.xlUpdateLinksNever, true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Save the Source .xlsx Emdeon ePaySmart File as a .xls File...note xlFileFormat.xlExcel5
workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Close the Source
workbook.Close(false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This shuts down the Excel Application
excelApplication.Quit();

This should work if you use a proxy to run this package in the Agent; see:

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!

Hi
jrmunn
i am trying to execute VB script to refresh my excel files.. using Vbscript file through SQL Agent job step.
i have copied VBscript in a file with the extension RefreshExcel.vbs kept in C:\RefreshExcel.vbs
Below is the script used inside the file (RefreshExcel.vbs)
//---Script code-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dim objXL, objWB
Dim FileLocation, FileName

Issue: job step executed succesfully ,,but without performing any refresh on the excel. So i am not understandig what is going wrong. the same script file work when i am calling it through a batch file (window scheuler task). But it doesnt support
to run the file "when user is not logged in"
that is why i want to refresh my excel file through sql agent ,which can be scheduled to any time and cab be run as SQL agent credentials.
Can you please help me on this ...i have tried all the option but nothing working .. found hope by seeing your solution.
Thanks in advance.
Please help me. :-(

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
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E05.

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.

What is the best way to read, process, and write an Excel File Server side...SQL Server Agent Job

So I was using dynamic Excel commands to open and save as using...
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
and
workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
which worked all fine and dandy client side. Then when I attempted to create a SQL Server Agent Job, this failed as a result of SQL Server side not being able to execute dynamic Excel commands.
So do I need to therefore try and do this function via Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 commands? And where can I find the commands and syntax to open and save as? I have to Open a .xlsx file, save it as a .xls file, and then open this newly created .xls file and
then save it as a .csv file.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

I think you might be over complicating things.
You can use SSIS with Excel Source/Destination connections to read in, or output to an excel sheet/file.

What SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long

Is there a way to tell what SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long? View history isn't working in my case because it's only showing completed jobs. John Schroeder

You can use the "Job Activity Monitor" for doing this. Do the following steps. It will open up the Job Activity Monitor.
1.    In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
2.    Expand SQL Server Agent.
3.    Right-click Job Activity Monitor and click View Job Activity.
4.    In the Job Activity Monitor, you can view details about each job that is defined for this server.
In Job Activity Monitor page, we have column called Status. It will indicate whether job is executing or idle. Last Run column will give you the last invocation time of this job.
Use the following link for further reference.

Batch file couldn't executes by SQL server agent

I had a batch file which have pscp command and plink command. If i executes the job it goes into infinite loop and executing forever. I tried many things and checked many forums. All forums says we need to create proxy account in SQL server then only we
can execute the batch file using SQL server agent. But i use another workaround to resolve the issue.
Find below the step:
1. We need to create one text file and write "yes" into it. This is useful to give the indicator to batch file that this is a trust full command and command can be execute in cmd.
2. We had below command in batch file
pscp -pw Wa5nea2Hag9z C:\Projects\UDM\Hadoop_aggregation\Sessionlog_source_file\application_events_latest.csv [email protected]:/var/lib/mysql/csv_files/ >> C:\Projects\UDM\Hadoop_aggregation\log.txt
then i have just include "< C:\Projects\UDM\Hadoop_aggregation\test.txt" after pascp command
like below:
pscp -pw Wa5nea2Hag9z C:\Projects\UDM\Hadoop_aggregation\Sessionlog_source_file\application_events_latest.csv < C:\Projects\UDM\Hadoop_aggregation\test.txt [email protected]:/var/lib/mysql/csv_files/ >> C:\Projects\UDM\Hadoop_aggregation\log.txt
The above command executes fine.

How to run a SQL Server Agent job step on certain days/frequency

I've a SQL Server Agent job. One of the requirement is that a particular step should only run on certain frequency i.e. Certain Date and time. Any suggestions how can that be done?
GBM

yes
1. Make first step as a Transact SQL step. Keep command as below
IF DAY(GETDATE()) = <Your date value>
AND DATEPART(hh,GETDATE()) = <your time hour)
AND DATEPART(minute,GETDATE()) = <your time minute)
SELECT 1
ELSE
RAISERROR 'Job cant be run at this time'
Then for job step properties set the following properties in advanced tab
This would make sure it will quit the job without executing other core steps untill it reaches the required day and time
You can add more conditions in IF based on requirement like if you want time to be on certain second or month to be particular value etc
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Excel Import Fails in SQL Server Agent Job but not when executed in BIDS

We have a SQL Server agent job that has ran successfully for the past 6 months. It started failing about a week ago. I don't believe anyone installed anything on the server. The proxy account used to run the job is an admin on the server.
I've tried everything I can think of or that I found on searches. I even changed the connection manager from an Excel source to using an Microsoft office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLEDB connection and it still runs in BIDs and not as an agent job.
I also setup my LANID as a proxy account to see if the job would run (checking security) -- and it fails with the same error.   I also made sure the path is
\\server\share rather than a drive letter. Any ideas?
The package is executed in 32 bit mode. The package still runs fine in BIDS (where BIDs is opened on the server) but fails in the SQL Agent job with:

I logged on to the server with the account that the SQL Agent runs under and ran the following from a command
line to execute the package:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC.exe" /FILE
"\"K:\SSIS\xxxxxx\xxxxx.dtsx\"" /CHECKPOINTING OFF
/REPORTING EWCDI /X86
I wanted to see if it was a security issue with the agent account account - but
this ran fine.
I then updated the SQL Agent job to use an operating system command instead
of a SSIS package on the job step. This fails...
The issue is definately with the SQL Server Agent
