SQL Agent job step - SSIS package - adding a config file - will it override the one that the package specifies?

If I setup a job step to run a package and set the config file location on the "Configurations" tab, will that override the config file that the SSIS package is configured to use?  Or is this a "cumulative" type configuration option?
I typically have my config file mixed in with my project files, but that path wont exist on the server.

Hi Shiftbit,
ETL vs ELT is right.
In SSIS 2005, the DTExec utility loads and runs the package, events occur in the following order:
The package file is loaded.
The configurations specified in the package at design time are applied in the order specified in the package (except for Parent Package Variables).
Any options specified from the command line are applied. Any configurations specified on the command line overwrite the current values; however, they do not trigger a reload of the configurations if a changed value impacts a configuration dependency. For
example, if the connection string used for SQL Server configurations is updated from the command line at run time, the package will still retain any other values from the design-time SQL Server configuration database.
Parent Package Variable Configurations are applied.
The package is run.
In SSIS 2008 and higher, utility loads and runs the package, events occur in the following order:
The dtexec utility loads the package.
The utility applies the configurations that were specified in the package at design time and in the order that is specified in the package. (The one exception to this is the Parent Package Variables configurations. The utility applies these configurations
only once and later in the process.)
The utility then applies any options that you specified on the command line.
The utility then reloads the configurations that were specified in the package at design time and in the order specified in the package. (Again, the exception to this rule is the Parent Package Variables configurations). The utility uses any command-line
options that were specified to reload the configurations. Therefore, different values might be reloaded from a different location.
The utility applies the Parent Package Variable configurations.
The utility runs the package.
So, we can see that no matter we use SSIS 2005 which applies the Configurations once or use SSIS 2008 (or higher) which applies the configurations twice, the configurations specified in the command line will affect and not be overwritten by the configurations
specified at design-time.

  • How do I automatically backup SQL Agent jobs and SSIS packages on the mirror daily?

    I have seen this question asked before but I could not find a satisfactory answer. What is the best solution to get your SQL Agent jobs/schedules/etc. and your SSIS packages on the mirror server? Here's the details:
    Server A is the principal with 2 DBs mirrored over to server B. Everything is fine and dandy, DBs are synched and all good. In Disaster Recovery testing, we need to bring up server B, which now will serve as the principal. Server A is inaccessible. Now,
    we need all our jobs that are setup in server A to be in server B, ready to go, but disabled. We also need all our SSIS packages properly stored. Yes, we store our packages in the MSDB in server A.
    Now, I can see a few answers coming my way.
    1- Backup the MSDB to server B. When you bring server B up as principal in DR, restore the MSDB. All your jobs,schedules,steps, SSIS packages will be there. Is this possible? Can this be done on server B without rendering it incapable of serving as the principal
    for the mirrored DBs? My fear with this option is that there may be information in the MSDB itself about the mirroring state of the DBs? Or is all that in the Master DB? Have you tried this?
    2- Right click each job, script them out, re-create them on server B... No, thank you very much. :) I am looking for an AUTOMATED, DAILY backup of the jobs and SSIS packages. Not a manual process. Yes, we do change jobs and packages quite often and doing
    the job twice on two servers is not an option.
    3- Use PowerShell.. Really? Are we going back to scripting at the command prompt like that, that fast?
    Since I fear option number 3 will be the only way to go, any hints on scripts you guys have used that you like that does what I need to do?
    Any other options?
    Any help GREATLY appreciated. :-) I can be sarcastic but I am a good guy..
    Raphael
    rferreira

    I would go with option number 3. Once  you have a script simple run it....
    param([string]$serverName,[string]$outputPath) 
    function script-SQLJobs([string]$server,[string]$outputfile) 
        [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | Out-Null 
        $srv = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("$server") 
        $db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database 
        $scrp = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Scripter($srv) 
        $scrp.Options.ScriptDrops = $FALSE 
        $scrp.Options.WithDependencies = $TRUE 
        $jobs = $srv.JobServer.get_Jobs() 
        $jobs=$jobs | Where-Object {$_.Name -notlike "sys*"}     
        foreach($job in $jobs) 
            $script=$job.Script() 
            $script >> $outputfile

  • SQL SERVER AGENT JOB ERROR - SSIS PACKAGE

    Hi , 
    I have a SQL server agent job which runs SSIS package as the daily job. The SSIS package contains multiple child package. Its a master package which calls other SSIS package. The master package calls 23 SSIS packages, few of the packages runs in parallel.
    I am getting the below 2 different errors more frequently. It fails only in the production server, I scheduled the job in UAT server, it did not fail. Also when we run the master package with out sql agent job, it did not fail. 
    Error 1 :
    R6025  - pure virtual function call.  The return value was unknown.  The process exit code was 255.  The step failed.
    Error 2 : The step did not generate any output.  The return value was unknown.  The process exit code was -1073741819.  The step failed.
    We tried browsing for the answers ,no luck. It failing in live , so we need to run the package manually in live server every time. 
    Please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.
    Regards, 
    Dhivya Sivakumar

    Hi Vijeth, 
    Thanks for your reply. 
    1) Run the Package manually and check whether it runs successfully.  -
    No Failures. Package completed succesfully
    2) If Step 1 is successful,
    a) Point the same package to the UAT database and run it and check whether it runs successfully or not. -
    We tried to schedule the package almost for 1 month. No failures in UAT. 
    b) In UAT database, point to the Production database and run the package. - I am not sure, if i can do this.I will try and let you know the result.
         These steps will help us identify whether the problems lies within the package or the Environment. 
    3) Run the Package manually in production Environment using dtexec utilily. -
    No Failures. Success.
    4) Check the ID used to run the SQL Agent job and modify to an account with elevated permissions or GRANT more permissions to the existing ID. -
    The account used currently is having all the privileges. Its the most powerful user in live DB.

  • SSIS - Change Config File Path LOCATION in SQL Agent Job Step (NOT USING DTEXEC)

    SSISers;
    I am not new to ssis but am trying to deal with promoting of ssis config files differently for a specific project. We are using SQL 2008 R2.
    As a standared pattern used for years, we just use SQL Agent, build a job step for the ssis package, add the ssis package as SQL Integration Services Package type from fileshare (not using Integration Services), and add the necessary production
    config files in the configutation tab of the job step. Easy.  We do not execute our packages with DTEXEC command line.
    A new project has the developers leaving the config files in the package - not removing the config files for deployment. Is there a way to override JUST THE CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION in the job step for ssis package? Remember, we are NOT using dtexec. 
    I was told that /SET might do it but I do not see a good example anywhere of hooking this in and how it works for a CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION - I see variable overrides but not CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION. The packages were written with Absolute config file
    path and not Relative path.
    Please understand that my goal is to let them leave the packages as is, we move the config files to the production sever and all we have to do is flip the location of where the config files are sitting for the ssis pacakge to look for them.  We would
    rather NOT have to use DTEXEC command  line with the job step for reasons that I do no need to get into on this forum.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Hi mg30,
    There is no way to overwrite the XML configurations file just through modifying the SQL Server Agent job steps.  The Dtexec utility will apply the default package configurations for the second time after applying the options specified in the command
    lines or other package configurations configured in the job step.
    If the package is not deployed/installed, the Dtexec utility looks for the XML configurations file according to the file path defined in the Package Configurations Organizer window. In this situation, you need to either disable the package configurations
    or modify the XML file path in the BIDS.
    If the package is already deployed/installed, you need to modify the package as above or re-specify the install folder for the package configurations file.

  • SQL Agent job running DTS package running in SQL 2005 is unable to run if job onwer is not logged onto server

    I am currently working on a SQL Server upgrade project for a a client where I am converting old dts packages to SSIS. However for a few of the packages no conversion is allowed to be done. For these few packages I have to use dts legacy components in SQL
    2005 on a windows 2003 server to run them.
    These packages use CAPICOM via an Active X script in the package to envelope connection string data for security within the package. Consequently I have to register the capicom.dll for the job owner (which will execute the job via proxy) and install private
    and public key files via internet explorer. I also do this when I am logged in with my account so i can test the package.
    I have created a SQL Server Agent Job which is used to execute the package. We have a schedule account which is local admin on the server and sysadmin within SQL Server. This account is used to create a credential and then a proxy for the CmdExec subsystem
    is then created based on this credential. A CmdExec job step is then added to the job. The directory of  cmd file which calls the dts package is then entered in the command window.
    Finally a recurring schedule is added to execute the job every 5 minutes. 
    If i am logged in to the server using the scheduled account the schedule runs successfully. I am also able to run the command file manually by double clicking on it. The DTS package is run successfully. However once the schedule is set up and I log off the
    machine and log onto my development machine with my normal account and fire up  SQL Server. I connect to that instance with the schedule and see that the job is failing with and Active X error in the package. From experience with this package this Active
    X  error occurs when the user executing the package has not registered the capicom.dll. This has already been done for the scheduler account because the job runs when the scheduler account is logged in on the server. 
    It almost seems as though the job will only run if the Scheduler account is logged on. If i log directly on to the server with own user account I am able to manually execute the package via the cmd file which indicates that the capciom.dll is registered
    under my account. Yet if I try an run the job in SQL Server when I am logged in under my account (using the scheduler account proxy) then the job fails.
    Does anybody have any idea why this may be happening? Any ideas would be much appreciated

    Run the job SSIS step under a proxy account that is derived from the domain account, non-expiring password and has been set to have all the necessary rights.

  • Pass value from SQL agent job step

    Hi 
    I have created one SSIS package and I am scheduling the same using SQL Agent job. Now I want to pass one value from SQL job agent and want to use that value in SSIS package and then run that package.  Can someone point to the solution.
    Aniruddha http://aniruddhathengadi.blogspot.com/

    I have created one parameter on SSIS package named strValue and assigned a empty value "". After that I have created one SQL job and step wherein I have set the value to "Nike" for parameter under Parameters tab.
    Now I am expecting Nike value which I have set on SQL job step should get reflected on SSIS package when I am running my job. Am I doing anything wrong ?

    Not sure what's going wrong but you can have quick look at below step by step tutorial:

  • Can't edit SQL Agent job step

    Hello. In SQL 2005 Enterprise I've added a user to SqlAgentUseRole in msdb. They can create a job but cannot later go back and edit a step; everything is grayed out. I saw this article about an error in SQL 2008 that's been fixed in 2008 CU3.

    I'm not sure if this is the same issue. If it's a different issue, does anyone know if it's been addressed in SQL 2012?

  • How to Run SSIS Package through SQL AGENT Job

    I am good with SSIS, I created a package which will load the excel files to SQL SERVER  tables. To Implement this I wrote the C# code to extract the first sheet name only, and then

  • Management Studio Crashing When Adding SSIS Step to SQL Agent Job

    Hi
    I am running Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU2, SQL Server Management Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2012.
    I have existing SQL Agent Jobs that run SSIS packages and they all currently work. However, if I try to edit them or add a new job that uses a SSIS package Management Studio will crash.  I was having this problem a couple weeks ago when I was still
    on SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU9, so I updated to SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU2 and the problem went away for a couple weeks and I was able to add new SQL Agent jobs that run SSIS packages.  But now it issue is back and there are no new updates to try and fix it.
    Has anyone seen this before and found a reliable fix to it?
    Steps to cause crash:
    1) Open new SQL Agent Job
    2) Select Steps and add a New Step
    4) Change the job type to SQL Server Integration Services Package.
    5) SSMS Crashes

    I ended up being able to work around this without having to recreate everything on a Windows Server 2008 R2. I did this by setting up an azure point to site VPN from
    my computer to the Windows Server 2012 hosted on azure.  I was then able to connect SSMS from my computer to the Azure VM allowing me to create and edit new SQL Agent jobs that run SSIS packages. Here are the steps to do this
    1) Connect to the VPN from another machine besides the server.
    2) Open SSMS using the runas.exe command with the Domain\User Name of a Windows account on the server.
    - Ex. Runas.exe /netonly /user:DOMAIN\USER "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe"
    2) Connect to the VM's Database Engine using its internal IP address and the port that SQL Server is listening on (default is 1433) and a SQL Login
    setup on the server.
    -Ex IP, 10.0.0.1,1433
    3) Create a new job with the type SQL Server Integration
    Services Package. Select the package source (SSIS Catalog). I could not get the server to be automatically discovered here so enter the server’s internal IP address and select the package you want to run.
    4) Right click the new SQL Agent Job and choose Script Job As, CREATE To, New Query Window. This is the script to create the
    SQL Agent Job and it needs to be edited to contain the Name of the server on the internal IP address that was used earlier.
    5) Edit the @command= line of the script to use the server name. Change the highlighted part below to the server name.
    - Ex . @command=N'/ISSERVER "\"\SSISDB\PACKAGELOCATION\"" /SERVER
    "\"10.0.0.1\"" /Par "\"$ServerOption::LOGGING_LEVEL(Int16)\"";1 /Par "\"$ServerOption::SYNCHRONIZED(Boolean)\"";True /CALLERINFO SQLAGENT /REPORTING E',
                - Change to this
                            - @command=N'/ISSERVER "\"\SSISDB\PACKAGELOCATION\""
    /SERVER SERVERNAME /Par "\"$ServerOption::LOGGING_LEVEL(Int16)\"";1 /Par "\"$ServerOption::SYNCHRONIZED(Boolean)\"";True /CALLERINFO SQLAGENT /REPORTING E',
    6) Now change the name of the package in the script and run it. Now the new package can be edited in the GUI to change things like the schedule and alerts. Also you
    can edit any existing packages.

    Hi BIRam,
    Based on the current information, the issue may be caused by the factor that the SQL Server Agent Service Account doesn’t have access to the MySQL server. Try to create a SQL Server Agent Proxy account that has sufficient permission on the MySQL server.
    In addition, also pay attention to the package protection level setting.
    For more information, please see:

  • Error with SSIS package running as SQL Agent job

    I have a strange issue.
    I have a SQL Agent job that execute 5 steps, each step is an SSIS package that imports a CSV file to a temp table, then executes a SQL script to update a production table. 
    This job runs every 3 mins, every day, and has been for over a year.
    Every once in a while it will start failing on step 2.  Sometime it only happens for a couple of runs, other times I have to restart the SQL server.  Once it corrects itself, it could be months before it happens again, but usually happens every
    few weeks.
    The error in the job history is: "Unable to bulk copy data. You may need to run this package as an administrator"
    Obviously I have all the permissions correct, as it was running successfully every 3 mins before this error suddenly starts. I'm at a loss as to what the problem is.  It is always on step 2, which is identical to step 1 except its a different CSV file
    going to a different table. As I typed this, it failed twice, then was successful afterwards.
    Any ideas where to look for further information? I've checked the event viewer and looked in the SQL logs, nothing stands out at this time.

    Hi Kerberos35,
    It seems to be caused by the UAC feature which makes SSIS use the low-permissions token of the administrator Windows account under which the job runs. This issue is described in the following KB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2216489/en-us 
    To resolve the issue, you can install the latest service pack for your SQL Server. To work around this issue, you can also use one of the following two methods:
    Method 1: Replace the SQL Server Destination components in the Data Flow Tasks that are failing with OLE DB Destination components that point to the same SQL Server connection manager.
    Method 2: Create a SQL Server Agent proxy by using a Windows account that is not a member of the local Administrators group after you assign Create Global Objects permissions to that account.
    To do this, follow these steps:
    Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
    Expand Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignment.
    In the details pane, double-click Create global objects.
    In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.
    In the Select Users or Group dialog box, click the user accounts that you want to add, click Add, and then click OK two times.

  • SSIS package is failing in SQL agent job with webserviceTaskException: Service Description cannot be null

    Hi All
    we are using webservice task in our ssis package and the package is successful in SSDT . when we created SQL job using that package it is failing with  webserviceTaskException: Service Description cannot be null.
    we have given access to web service for ssis proxy account  and have access on wsdl file folder  and given access to temp folder .
    what would be the reason for the failure?
    Surendra Thota

    Hi Surenda,
    As per my understanding, the error message is too general. In order to troubleshoot this issue, we should view the detail error message about this job. For more details, please see:
    Troubleshooting Jobs
    SQL Server Agent Error Log
    Besides, since when you call a Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package outside a SQL Server Agent job step, the SSIS package runs successfully. However, if you do not modify the SSIS package, then execute it via SQL Server Agent job step,
    it fails. The scenario always related to the user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent. Please also verify that the account has access to the Web site or to the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) file for HTTP connection manager.
    References:
    SSIS package does not run when called from a SQL Server Agent job step
