SQL Server Agent Jobs
I have had our SQL team, point out an issue
there are a bunch of jobs being created owned by the DW-ROacct, and calls a stored procedure in the OpsMgrReportServer database
e.g.; exec [OpsMgrReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='CacheInvalidateSchedule', @EventData='2c191169-d726-4611-882d-74199e183241'',
Can someone advise why these are being created? and What SCOM uses these for.

Error While executing a SSIS package which contains a script task through SQL Server Agent job
Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2012 SSIS package with a script task along with other tasks [data flow, execute sql tasks ]. When I manually executed the job through BIDS, its completed successfully.
Then I have automated the execution of the package through SQL Server Agent Job. But when I executed the package through SQL Agent job, it runs successfully for all the tasks except script task. When it comes to execute the Script Task, it is getting failed
with the below error message.
"Error: 2012-08-29 12:45:14.67

I have installed the SSIS on the 64-bit environment and SSIS service is running. Also I tried to run the job through 32 bit [job option] but I am getting the above error in all cases.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated !

- naveen.reddyHi Arthur,
My script task access the excel files in a network share, refresh them all and save them. When I execute the ETL manually or thru DTEXEC, it is executing successfully. I am facing the issue when I am executing thru SQL Agent Job only. Logging also showing
the same error.

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.

Pankajdomain\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

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

SQL Server Agent Jobs error for Slowly changing dimension
Hi,
I have implemented Slowly changing dimension in 5 of my packages for lookup insert/update.
All the packages are running good in SSDT. And when i deployed the project to SSISDB and run the packages all are running successfully. But when i created a job out of that and run the packages, then 3 packages ran successfully and 2 packages failed.
When i opened All Execution Report. I found the following error:
Message

Then i opened Provider package in SSDT and changed the source reading record limit from 4,00,000 to 15,000 in source query and deployed again and run, then the job succeeded. more than 15,000 failed.
And in the 2nd experiment, I removed slowly changing dimension task and implemented normal lookup for insert/update, and set the source reading limit again to 4,00,000 and deployed again and run, then the job succeeded.
Now i am not able to figure out, what exactly is the problem with Slowly changing dimension task for more than 15,00 records in SQL Server Agent Job run?
Can anybody pls help me out.
Thanks
BikramHi Vikash,
As i have mentioned in the above post, below 2 scenarios:
"Then i opened Provider package in SSDT and changed the source reading record limit from 4,00,000 to 15,000 in source
query and deployed again and run, then the job succeeded. more than 15,000 failed.
And in the 2nd experiment, I removed slowly changing dimension task and implemented normal lookup for insert/update, and set the source reading limit again to 4,00,000 and deployed again and run, then the job succeeded."
That means i am able to connect to sql server.
But if i change the 1st scenario and read 4,00,000 records, the job fails and shows the above mentioned error.
Similarly in the 2nd scenario, if i implement SCD look up, the job fails and shows the above mentioned error.
And i am consistently reproducing this.
Thanks

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
GaryHi 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:

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 SivakumarHi 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.

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:

"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 -
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:

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.

SSIS package fails under SQL Server Agent job
Hi All
I have designed a SSIS package to encrypt a file using Cipher (EFS) it works fine from BIDS & Package Execution Utility.
But SQL Server Agent job is failing to do this. I am getting the error as
" In executing C:\Windows\System32\Cipher.exe /e /a C:\Test.txt at "",The Process Exit code was 1 while the expected was 0."
Please help me.
ThanksTwo things that usually come to mind when this happens from BIDS locally to the SQL Agent are
1. Security is not
adequate under the SQL Agent Service Account
Rule the security problem out by setting up a proxy account that you know ahs security to run the needed tasks in the package. Either that or give the service account the permissions needed.
2. 32bit BIDS development and running under a 64bit Platform in your SSIS installation
This can be fixed by selecting run in 32bit more or running the package with the 32bit installed version of DTEXEC found in the Program Files (x86) folder where you installed tools.
Next, setup logging in the package so you get a more detailed error message. Event handlers on the tasks will be much more detailed using the OnError event. you can write that to either a flat file with a data flow in the event handler or simply
insert the event into a table using the ? as the parms. If you need assistance setting that up, here are basic steps for a SQL Server table
1) Select the task and click the event handler tab in BIDS
2) Select OnError event handler in the list
3) Click the enable link and drag a Execute TSQL Task over to the window
4) Create a table in your SQL Server database (create one so you don't litter your user DBs if needed)
5) Open the task and add the connection as needed. Then add this statement
INSERT INTO dbo.TableYouCreated
(PackageName, SourceName, EventInfo)
VALUES (?,?,?)
6) Go to parameter mappings and add 4 new mappings as following
System::PackageName
Input
nvarchar
0
System::SourceName
Input
nvarchar
1
System::ErrorDescription
Input
nvarchar
2
Save and reimport the package and then the event of the errors should insert into the table in detail

SQL Server Agent Job Failing on Job Step
Hi,
Firstly, apologies if this post has been made in the wrong group. Running SQL Server 2012. I'm attempting to add a SQL Server Agent Job which calls a stored procedure that sends a Database Mail message. The SQL Server and SQL Server Agent
both run under the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account. The Database Mail service has been enabled, and a public profile created. When running the stored procedure manually, I receive no errors - everything runs as expected and I do receive an
email containing the expected information.
I've created the job, job step, job schedule, attached the schedule to the job, and assigned the job to server, all using T-SQL without error. I've also enabled the mail profile on the SQL Server Agent, and I know that part is working because when
the job fails, I get an email notification of the failure.
I've checked the command text in the job step and parsed it within the SQL Job Step Edit window to confirm, it shows as parsing correctly. However, when I manually run the job itself, I get the following:
Execution of job failed. See the history log for details.
I check the history log and it shows:
[474] Unable to refresh Database Mail profile Database Mail Profile. (reason: ) (Not a typo, the history log shows no reason)
[260] Unable to start mail session.
[396] An idle CPU condition has not been defined - OnIdle job schedules will have no effect
The command text on the failing job step is as follows:
DECLARE @date [varchar](10)
SET @date = CAST(GETDATE() AS [varchar](10))
EXEC [dbo].[GetExceptions]
@company = 'MyCompany',
@checkDate = @date
With regard to the date value being passed as varchar: This stored procedure is used to check for exceptions against multiple databases on this server (hence the company parameter) via dynamic SQL. I'd much prefer to use proper data typing but this
is the only way I could get it to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions on anything else I could check, or insights into why this is failing? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Best Regards
BradI am not sure if this really helps but I would do follow the below steps:
1. make sure sql server agent has database mail enabled(rigt click on server agent--properties--alert system--enable database mail and choose right profile.) and RESTART THE SQL SERVER AGENT.(i know you said it i working, but sometimes, restart the
sql server agent might fix)
2. check agent error log and check if any error messages.
3. run the command text you mentioned in sql server and see if it is working.(i know you said it is working but just to make sure).
4. make sure sql server agent service user has permissions to run database mail in msdb. check this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186358.aspx
5. Check the output from select * from msdb.dbo.sysmail_log and if it says anything
6.it does not look like the job log is getting truncated but to make sure, get the job step output to a text file.to do this, edit the job step and on the job step properties click on advanced, enter path to the output file. this will give the complete
output for the step.
Hope it Helps!! -
SQL Server Agent job between 2 instances fails with Error 18456 - Login Failed for user
Hi,
SQL Server version: 2012 EE
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise
In my server, i have 2 instances, and I am trying to configure a SQL Server Agent job to query one table in Instance A, and insert some modified data in Instance B, both in the same server.
When i execute the job in instance A, i get the following error:
Executed as user: NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. Login Failed for user "NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT". [SQLSTATE 28000] (Error 18456). The step failed.
I have already configure instance A as Master and disabled encryption, by changing the parameter MsxEncryptChannelOptions to 0 in regedit. I've also made my target instance (instance B) as a Target.
What am i missing?
Thanks for your attention and pacienceHello,
The NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT (virtual) account is not available on the other as you just mentioned. That is the reason for the login
failed error. Try using a Windows login as the
SQL Server Agent service account in both servers, the same Windows login (not a virtual account), and run jobs as the “sa” account.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345578.aspx
You can also try a proxy account.

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.
ITBobbyP85I 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. -

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!

"A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk I have a workstation..."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
On Error Resume Next
'lgnConn = 1
FileLocation = "F:\Reports\Reports"
Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objXL.DisplayAlerts = False
FileName = "ReportFile1.xlsx"
'MsgBox (FileLocation & "/" & FileName)
Set objWB = objXL.Workbooks.Open(FileLocation & "/" & FileName)
objWB.EnableConnections
objXL.CalculateUntilAsyncQueriesDone
objWB.RefreshAll
objXL.CalculateUntilAsyncQueriesDone
objWB.RefreshAll
objXL.CalculateUntilAsyncQueriesDone
objWB.Save
objWB.Close
Set objWS = Nothing
Set objWB = Nothing
objXL.Quit
Set objXL = Nothing
'MsgBox ("Refresh Completed")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//Script complete
Now when i am trying to call this script file in SQL agent job step (as you mentioned )
as Type -cmdExec(OperatingSystem)
cscript "C:\RefreshExcel.vbs"
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. :-( -
