Scheduling without using SQL Server Agent

Can I have a scheduling job that run a group of packages on SSIS in a specific time? I can't use SQL Agent Job...

Yes, you can.
1) You have to create batch (.bat) file which will have a command that will run your ssis package by using dtexec.
E.g. dtexec.exe /F "C:\ImportCSV\Package.dtsx"
2) Schedule above .bat file using Windows Task Scheduler

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.

SSIS Package Fails when Scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job

I have an SSIS package that runs without any problems when executed through BIDS.
However, when I schedule the SSIS as an Agent job, it fails completely or part way through. When it partially runs, the part that it is failing on is a Script Task that moves the source data file to an archive folder (on the same server).
I have tried using my domain account as the owner of the job, then the job fails straight off and I get an error:
Unable to determine if the owner (Domain\MyID) of job JobName has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'Domain\MyID'
If I change the owner to the 'sa' account , then the job partially runs, but then fails because 'sa' is a SQL account and does not have access to the filesystem.
I have managed to get it to work by using the SQL2008_Local account and granting modify permissions to the affected folders.
My question is - what is the advised way of doing this?
Thanks
Gary

Hi Garyv.King,
When you see a SSIS package fails running in a SQL Agent job, you need to first consider the following conditions:
1. The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent differs from the original package author.
2. The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
For more detailed information about the issue, please following this KB article:
An SSIS package does not run when you call the SSIS package from a SQL Server Agent job step
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760
You can check SQL Server Agent’s activity logs, Windows Event logs and SSIS logs to get more clues. Also the tool Process Monitor is helpful to track the cause of registry or file access related issues.
The following 4 issues are common encountered in the SSIS forum.
1. The package's Protection Level is set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey but your SQL Server Agent service account is different from the SSIS package creator.
2. Data source connection issue.
3. File or registry access permission issue.
4. No 64-bit driver issue.
For more information about it, please see:

My SSIS package retrieves a excel file and saves the vales into an SQL table. When I run the package by itself in my server it works fine but when it's called from a SQL agent, it fails with the above error. Please help me resolve it.

That's the issue. If it's a SQL login the password cannot be retrieved by account executing the package from the job which is why login fails. In that case best thing would be set password in job properties or pass it using configuration created in the package

Run the SSIS Package using sql server Agent--Memory utilization Problem

Hi,
I have Created one SSIS Package it was working fine in BIDS but in SQL Server Agent it takes all the server memory and server gets very slow now.
in that ssis package i am using merge join,sorting tasks.Can you please suggest me how to handle in the memory usage for this..pls refer the below screen

Hi aravindhrm,
You can enable BufferSizeTuning logging event on the Data Flow Task to get how many rows in buffer. Or you can use Performance Counter to obtain more details about the buffers.
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2013/04/performance-best-practice-more-rows-per.html
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/2009/ssis-an-inside-view-part-3/
Then, you can tweak the DefaultBufferMaxRows and DefaultBufferMaxSize size settings.
Besides, you can also go through the blog mentioned by Visakh and try suggestions such as increase OS pagefile size.

Scheduling SSIS packages to run using SQL Server Agent Service

The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 11 (run package). The last step to run was step 1 (Execute Package)". how do i resolve this?

Most probable causes: the developer runs the package in BI studio, it works. The job is deployed and runs in a schedule.
the sql job agent does not have same rights as the developer.
the test in BI studio was doen in 32-bit mode , the job by default ran in 64-bit mode. some oledb-odbc drivers may not work.

Schedule SSIS packages as job in SQL Server Agent errors

Hi, I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and created few SSIS packages and schedule them using SQL Server Agent and every time I try to schedule packages via SQL Server Agent my jobs keep failing. I am using domain/ione as the owner and when I invoke the job on
ServerA let's say and the job gets executed by domain/ServerA$ and fails as it does not have enough privileges. How do I fix this issue firstly without the proxy and why is the job being executed by domain/ServerA$ when the owner & user who invokes
it is domain/ione?
Thanks in advance............
Ione

Hi Ione,
The owner of any SQL jobs should be SA or any other non-expiring account
If you do not want the proxy used, then add the needed priveleges.
The owner of the job is one, the SSIS step gets executed by the account the Agent is running under.

Report Schedule - SQL Server Agent

Hi,
We have few SSRS reports which has to run daily after the data is loaded in the database.
I scheduled the reports on timely based and got the Job Id's using SQL server agent and using SP_START_JOBs stored procedure to run.
But the problem is it is creating multiple files one for time and one for SP_START_JOBS procedure.
Any idea how to avoid this?
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sarah

If you're going to schedule your SSRS jobs using the agent, don't schedule them in SSRS using subscriptions as well...

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?

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 :-

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 ?

SQL Server Agent Job/Service Account

Hi All,
I want to schedule a SSIS packages using SQL Server agent, My Agent is running on default local account
(No Service account). But currently there is a scenario that SSIS package should connect to some network path. As per my understnading the account on which SQL Agent is running will not be able to access the path. How can i achieve this? Do i need to start
my agent on a service account where the service account has total access to the netwrk path or can i impersonate using proxy accounts.
PLease help
Thanks,

you need to create a proxy account for that. Give it required access to path

SQL Server Agent available on Azure?

I would like to delete records from an database table on Azure when the table reaches a certain size.
I would normally do this by scheduling a stored procedure job using SQL Server Agent.
Is the SQL Server Agent available on databases held on Azure?
Should I use an alternative approach?
Thanks
Stew

Hello ,
Please take look on :
Scheduling job on SQL Azure
We can execute sql procedures on Azure based on our need (schedule configuration).
Create a mobile service.
Create a scheduler. Mention the database to be used for this.
Configure the scheduler for the frequency.
Click on tab Script. The script can be written in java script or .net. The script should have the code to run a proc.
I used below code to run dbo.ExecuteDataRequest procedure Azure database.
function Execute_Process_Request() {
      console.log("Executing ExecuteDataRequest...");
      mssql.query('Exec dbo.ExecuteDataRequest',{
        success: function(results){
        console.log("Finished the Process Request job.");
         error: function(err) {
           console.log("error is: " + err);
Find the new user added which will run the scheduler (Under Login folder of Security of Azure db server). Need to grant execute permission to the new user on the database where we need to execute the job.

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
