I had some DTS packages that are scheduled to run as a job every week. They have been running fine for about 4 months.
One of the jobs failed in the weekend. i was normally able to run the job by logging into the server. The job failed instantenously.
I can't even run the DTS package. I am registered on my enterprise manager as an administrator as well. I tried registering as sa but it comes with the same result. i do not have any aliases. and the DTS packages are only working within the indivdual server. The errror messsage is :-
[DBNETLIB][Connection Open (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access is denied
Any help would be greatly appreciated.mmmm...have you checked that all your connection inside the DTS point to a valid server? Can you connect to the server that you use inside the DTS?|||i actually created another new package and it works.
so
1. the old package does not run
2. The new package runs fine.
Do you think that my msdb database is corrupted ? or is it the individual databases ?|||Right-mouse click on the package and select "Versions". See what that shows you (busy fingures, man, busy fingures ;))|||Did that, the packages haven't been modified for the last 6 months.
I think i might restore the msdb database and go from there.|||Check the schedule relationed with your DTS package in SQL Server agent manager.See whether the owner of job had been changed or not.|||The SQL Server agent is being run as a domain user who is an administrator on the SQL Server.
Currently merging our backup tape to get the msdb database.
There was actually some patching of the servers in the weekend and one of the domain controllers was rebooted.
Does anyone think that there is some relation with the domain account, sql server agent and my dts packages are not working|||Things don't happen on their own. Some had to have been changed for the "anomaly" to happen.|||I restored the msdb database still the same error
[DBNETLIB][Connection Open (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access is denied
the UDLs i believe i not working properly. Does anyone know about UDL corruption?
Would restoring the master database help ?|||Is there anything of note in your server logs? What shows up in the job history (especially if you show details)?
Have you tried to execute the package one step at a time, to see what fails? If you have multiple connections, it might not be failing where you'd expect.
Once you know which connection is failing, try to make a connection using the same credentials via Query Analyzer or OSQL.EXE to see if you get a more useful diagnostic message.
If push comes to shove, export your DTS package to a structured storage file and post it... Maybe someone here can see something in there that might help.
I'd exhaust every other avenue before even considering restoring master. That would be an absolute last ditch option for me.
-PatP|||Restoring MASTER would have no affect on success or failure of a DTS package. There NOTHING in MASTER that relates to DTS, NOTHING!..Having said that, - actually there is everything, - databases, logins, linked servers...I'd save the package as a BAS (not structured, Pat) and see what's going on there.|||When you restore the msdb database from a different server, u restore the jobs, dtspackages etc. Does any part of the system tables point to previous server. ? like sysjobs.

Help DTS Job programming
Hello:
I'm scheduling DTS packages to run as a job but when I do that, the job siply does not works, someone tolds me that it's a problem with the SQL and Windows NT authentication and security and he gaves me this URL http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q269074.
but it not so clear to me, i'm working with SQL Server 200 and Windows Server 2000.
What can I do?The job simply does not work ...
This means what are you getting any error?
If so review information from DTS package log and SQL error log or use PROFILER to monitor the activity.
That is the only KBA information available if you want to schedule a dts package.
Come with complete details about issue and setup.|||Always make sure you have the same drivers on the server as you do on your local machine if applicable.

help converting filetime bigint to SQL datetime
Hello,
I am using a DTS package to putt information from a Windows 2003 Active
Directory into SQL 2000.
The DTS package connects to AD, which is set up as a linked server, and
reads several attributes of user accounts, including the accountExpires and
lastLogonTimestamp columns.
The accountExpires and lastLogonTimestamp fields store dates and times. I
found an excellent technet article by the Scripting Guys that explains that
this value is stored in AD as a 64-bit integer, and that it represents the
number of 100-nanosecond units since January 1, 1601.
Unfortunately, SQL Server doesn't store dates that way. The datetime type in
SQL server is the number of three-hundredths of a second since 01/01/1753.
I thought about writing a conversion function, but I realized two things: 1)
someone must have encountered this before, and 2) it's not as easy as it
might seem at first glance because of leap years.
Moreover, I can't do anything about it in the DTS package with a custom
ActiveX Transformation because (I think) the ActiveX implementation in DTS
only handles 32-bit integers.
Can anyone help me with this? I really need to store those two columns in
SQL Server.
Thank you!
- Michael GibbonsHi Michael
You could try subtracting the difference (in 100 ns units) between the two
base dates, convert the remainder to nano-seconds and then adding to the SQL
Server base date.

Help calling DTS package.
I'm new to using DTS packages and I'm running into a problem. Hopefully someone can help me out. I have an ASP.NET page that needs to call a DTS package. Everything seems to be working right up until I call opkg.Execute. The package seems to run but nothing happens. After further investigation I have found what looks like a permissions issue. this is the message I'm getting"
Error Number:
-2147467259 {Integer}
Error Number:
-2147467259 {Integer}
Error Description:
"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ''. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data." {String}
This is obviously a permissions issue. I'm just not sure who the DTS package is running as and where to set the permissions.
Any ideas??
ThanksAfter a few modifications I'm getting a different error now. But it still is obviously a permissions problem. Everything I've read says set Impersonation equal to true. Unfortunately it already is. Any suggestions from you SQL Server gurus?
"Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
Thankssql

help about sql server job
I created a stored procedure.When i execute the sp in Query Analyzer or in
dts packages, it worked well.But when i scheduled it as job,the job
failed.There are 51 jobs at the server totally.
I also scheduled the sp as job on another server,this time it worked well
too.
Could anyone tell me the reason?Should I set any configurations at the
server?
Below is the sp script,I used linked server in this sp:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp1 AS
declare @.last_upd_tm datetime
set @.last_upd_tm=(select top 1 rspn_upd_tm from TBL_eCardGEMSRpt_load_tm
order by rspn_upd_tm desc)
delete trspn from TBL_eCardGEMS_Response trspn join
linkedserver.eCardGEMsRpt.dbo.Response erspn

where erspn.LastUpdateDate>@.last_upd_tm
insert into TBL_eCardGEMS_Response

GOAaron,
Verify if the database that the job is calling is the correct Database. By
default the database selected is master.

HELP - urgent situation
Hey all
I've got a DTS package with a script that does this:

HELP-- execution dts in transaction -- URGENT
please I need to know what is required to properly execute a dts with steps joined to transactions in it.
i know MSDTC must be running on server but it must be running in local machine too?
user running dts must be sysadmin? is it required ?
any other requirements needed?
please write down a full list of required items or a BOL reference to look forMaybe if you tell us what you're trying to do?|||what i want is to know what are the requirements to execute a dts with steps joined to transactions in it. I talk about requirements related to services, user privileges and so on
I want to know this info that applied for a general problem (that is how to execute a transactional dts).
Anyway i will tell you what is my specific problem related to it. I have a DTS who loops over files in a directory processing each file (that is inserting rows in several tables of a sql server database) in a way that all files must be processed or if one is not processed due to an error (logged to a log table) then all previous files must be deprocessed (changes made to database must be 'rollback'ed). Thus transacctions are needed into the DTS for some steps (those who change database) while others mustn't (those who perform tests and just write to log table)
This is so easy to do in a DTS but i have experienced several problems due to transacctions. first, with MSDTC service running in server machine (where SQLServer is running) I cannot execute successfully the dts unless MSDTC also running in my local machine. Also is not possible for my user to execute DTS from dts editor unless my user being sysadmin in SQLServer server machine. So i want to know what is exactly necessary to execute such kind of DTS (transactional DTS) in terms of services, security, user profiles and roles, etc

The task runs a VBScript and has 1 Lookup - a check to see if a row exists

I read is not good} but it must do so because the existence check is against
the table being loaded and loaded rows are not visible to other

Any ideas how I can a) circumvent this issue or b) allow load processing to
'quietly' fail on duplicate inserts but run to completion anyway?Look like you got a duplicate key problem when inserting data into Staff
table, violation against index IX_StaffUserName. Clean out your data before
import doing the import again or import those data into a staging table with
no restriction and then clean out your data before import to the main table.

SQL Server 2000 SP3
Has anybody seen this one? And is there a fix/workaround for it?
I have a DTS package that loads data in from CSV formatted flat files. The
package executes Ok for two small tables however it crashes about 10,000
records into a transformation task which is loading a flat file of 230,000+
records. Here's the error:
Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_3' failed

Help - DTS Custom Task to handle Job Failuer
I need to find a better way to handle DTS Job Failure issue. Currently, we have about 50 jobs which executed through DTS packages. Everytime when sources were not there or came in late, the DTS sent out an email to my page which I carried every day. Some those came in during the holidays even though I know the source party wont generate the source files at that day.
Trying to avoid to get beep everytime when job was failed. Someone suggested that it is possible to add kind of executable file within the Custom task and let it trigger the DTS packages. If, for example, a holiday then dont run the package so I wont get the page.
Any hints suggestions would be greatly appreciated
J827I get unhappy when I see 0 replies, but I have not done this before but this is how I would handle it.
I would write a dll in VB. It would check todays date against a list of holidays I might keep in a database table. If it did'nt return a result I would would use the VB syntax for firing off stored procedures (still in my dll).
Of course before you do this you need to already have your 50 DTS packages in place.
I would then build a new DTS package whose only step was to fire off this custom DLL. Register your cutom task and assign it icon and then build your DTS package using the DTS Designer (not the wizard).
Good luck.|||create a table or array with the dates of all non action days (holidays weekends down days).
create a master package that runs all of your sub packages(use the execute package task).
create a Execute SQL (or activex)Task to evaluate the NonActiveDays table against the execution of the package if getdate() = @.nonactiveday, return 0
else 1
then pass that value as a global variable to the task
when the 1 hits, run the package
this is a fairly simple solution.
and just for giggles if your code returns a 0, you can have the task email you a reminder that the task didnt run becuase of a holiday.
this opens you up to many possibllilties, for instance you could have this code run in a job the day before to remind you that the next day is a holiday and dts wont run...|||thanks thanks!|||Are you executing this from the web like in ASP.Net or something?
If you are, the problem is that the DTS package needs to run in the same security context that you created it in. The IUSR_etc... account in IIS does not have the ability to execute the package. The workarounds are sloppy and I have discussed them on this forum before. Do a search for ASP and DTS.|||I created a C# Console Application to trigger the DTS package directly and it worked (see code below). But it was an EXE (not DLL) file type.
I would like to plug this app as part of control in an existing DTS package by adding it into a Custom Task. I just noticed the DTS Custom Task only allows adding DLL format file to be registered. Then I recreated the app with Class library Type and tried to register / run Regsvr32 appName. I got Could not find entry point for DLLRegisterServer in the DLL / appName.DLL was load but the DLLRegisterServer entry point was not found, the file cant be registered.
Any helps would be highly appreciated!

HELP - ActiveX stuck in loop, cannot kill!
Someone please help--
I've been working on an ActiveX script in a DTS package. I executed the script and it's stuck in a while..wend loop. If I kill it I will lose all the code I wrote (pretty much a lot) since last saving the entire package.
Is it possible either:
a) Kill the activex step without killing the entire DTS designer session.
b) Locate the ActiveX code which must be in a temp table somewhere.
Please help I don't want to recode the entire object.
Thanks!If you kill the spid when eunning a query in qa it doesn't shut qa...
Now don't take my word for it, but maybe if you kill the spid, the designer session will still be open...
BUT WHY would you run something before saving and WHY would you have a loop of any kind?
