I'm updating a SSIS task and getting a weird error: When executed, it says it can't bulk load a file the same SSIS task created.
This task retrieves a .zip file, extracts it in a path and then runs a stored procedure to bulk load the XML file, insert it's contents in some tables etc.
It's printing the following error in the logs:
Empresas:Error: Executing the query "execute carga.sp_cargaInicialEmpresas ?, ?"
failed with the following error: "Erro na procedure xxxxx2016_CI.carga.sp_cargaInicialEmpresas)
Linha: 1Mensagem: Cannot bulk load because the file "C:\xxxxx2016\arquivos\Empresa\2017\2403\02\151423_ExecucaoEmpresas\ExecucaoEmpresas.xml" could not be opened.
Operating system error code 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).".
Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
This is a local path, not a network path, and the .xml file is created by the SSIS task itself. I checked the path in windows explorer and the file is there, waiting to be read.
Also the SQLSERVERAGENT user has all permissions in the "C:\xxxxx2016\arquivos\Empresa\2017\2403\02\151423_ExecucaoEmpresas\" directory.
How can I solve this?
This is an OS issue -- Error 3. The path does not exist. Please see system error codes page. Please check on the full path to the file.
An access issue would an error code 5.
Also, it depends on who is executing the SSIS package. Are you doing it from the server using your login? Are you running the package from SQL Agent under that credential? Did you change the run as credential in the job.
Like someone said, try executing it by hand. If it fails, then it is the Stored Procedure code. If it passes, then it is the path passed from SSIS to the SP. Make sure you know what your working directory is.
Tell me how you make out.
That was a very misleading error message.
After a few days trying to work it out, I found out that the database was misconfigured in my SSIS task connections.

I'm trying to load multiple files from a location into DB using Foreach Loop Container & DataFlow task in SSIS.
It's getting crashed while I try to execute the package. It's not giving any error message, whenever I execute the package it crashes and closes the visual studio app immediately. I have to kill the debug task in the task manager for the next execution of the package.
So I tried the below steps:
I used a FileSystem task instead of DataFlow task to just
move all the files from the source to the archive directory, which ran
fine without any issues.
Ran the DataFlow task individually to load a single file into DB,
which was also executed successfully.
I couldn't figure out what was going wrong here. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Screenshots
All screenshots look fine to me. I will give some tips to try to figure out the issue.
Since the File System Task is executed without any problem, there is no problem with the ForEach Loop Container. You can try to remove the OLE DB Destination and replace it with a dummy task to check if it causing the issue. If the issue remains, it means that the Flat File Source could be the cause.
Things to try
Make sure that the TargetServerVersion is accurate. You can learn more about this property in the following article: How to change TargetServerVersion of my SSIS Project
Try running the package in 32-bit mode. You can do this by changing the Run64bitRuntime property to False. You can learn more about this property in the following article: Run64bitRunTime debugging property
Running Visual Studio in safe mode. You can use the following command devenv.exe /safemode.
Workaround - Using Bulk Insert
Since you are inserting flat files into the SQL database without performing any transformation. Why not use the SSIS Bulk Insert Task. You can refer to the following step-by-step guide for more information:
SSIS Basics: Bulk-Import various text files into a table
As mentioned in the official documentation, make sure that the following requirements are met:
The server must have permission to access both the file and the destination database.
The server runs the Bulk Insert task. Therefore, any format file that the task uses must be located on the server.
The source file that the Bulk Insert task loads can be on the same server as the SQL Server database into which data is inserted, or on a remote server. If the file is on a remote server, you must specify the file name using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name in the path.
Cannot seem to find any concise information on this at all so trying my luck here.
Recently have setup Integration Services Catalogs because at present all our SSIS packages are stored within a folder and just ran as a File. We wish to move these, which has worked fine.
I have created a basic SSIS Package that puts a Username into a SQL Table and then also a File System Task to Delete a File.
When the package is ran from the Catalog via SSMS it completes the SQL side of things perfectly fine, placing both the Username running the package and the data into the SQL table, however it fails on the File System Task with
"File System Task: Error: An error occured with the following error message : "Access to the path "xxxx" is denied.
I have changed the SQL Agent Job on the SQL Server to have the permissions of our Administrator Account with no luck.
I can confirm the folder in question is Shared, it has FULL Read/Write Permission to "Everyone" and yet I still get this error.
I even went to the trouble of creating a new folder and just enabled full sharing to everybody on it - I still get the same access is denied.
Seen a previous post on stackoverflow about NETWORK SERVICE being added, can also confirm that this has full permission to the folder and thus it rules this out also.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I got this SSIS package working this past December. It only runs on Friday mornings. Last Friday it failed with this error message:
Package:Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '\\ServerShare\IT\Reports\Export Templates\YoderReport.xlsx'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.".
I've checked out a couple of other questions that were similar, but they did not answer my question. I have checked to make sure that no one has that file open.
The file in question is a template that is copied over then populated, so no one should have it open, to begin with.
I've tried changing the RetainSameConnection to True, but no difference. I have run it in debug mode, and it works fine.
Anyone got any ideas how to clear this up so it runs automatically again?
UPDATE
After some more testing, it appears that the file is getting the data, but isn't being copied. Here is what I have setup:
I have a File System Task that copies a template from my template
folder to my Export folder.
Then I have a Data Flow Task
Begins with a OLE DB Source that runs a SQL script to pull data
Runs a Data Conversion to update a couple of fields to the correct format
Excel Destination is used for the output. (This is the template that was copied to the Export folder
There is also a Flat File Destination just in case there are any errors
Then back to the Control Flow with another File System Task, this one moves the file from the Export folder to its final destination on a shared drive
When I run this from VS 2015 it works fine and creates the file. When I run this from the SQL Agent job it fails with the above error message. The only thing that I can think of is that in the Data Flow Task the Excel Destination isn't releasing the file before the final File System Task tries to copy it? But if that is the case, why did that just start happening now?
I think that there is a problem in the filepath, as you can see the file path start with one single backslash:
\ServerShare\IT\Reports\Export Templates\YoderReport.xlsx
Maybe it should start with double back slash \\ if it is on the network
\\ServerShare\IT\Reports\Export Templates\YoderReport.xlsx
Or the Partition is missed --> Incomplete path
Check the way that the file path is provided to the connection manager (if you are using expressions)
Also based on this microsoft article, there is two possible causes:
You must have permission to read data in the specified file in order to view its data. To change your permission assignments, see your system administrator or the table or query's creator.
You tried to open the indicated file exclusively, but another user already has the file open.
Looks like an access issue. Ensure that the Agent Service Account is running with full rights to the network share path. Maybe you can try with your credentials on the Agent Server.
Also, Ensure that your Excel destination connection string supports .xlsx.
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\path\xxx.xlsb;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=YES";
Changing “Excel 12.0” to “Excel 12.0 Xml” will tell the provider to output in .xslx format instead.
So, I have an SSIS package that checks for file existence on the server, copies data from the file onto a table on sql server and moves the file to a done folder.
I have created environment variables and since I have full access to folders and to the server..the package got executed successfully. But, When I selected QA environment in the configuration manager and when I run the package..it's failing to move the file to the done folder and the error in execution result is - [File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path is denied.".
I have used user variables within the File system task
and the package overview
My question here is - since the file is present in file explorer on QA box and I don't have access..is it the reason for it to fail. But, I am not using my credentials to login at the connection manager level. I am using SQL server authentication (got a service account created).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you!

This is the reason for the failure, yes.
When running a SSIS package in Visual Studio most things will run under your credentials. Yes, you need to specify credentials for some connection managers, but File System Tasks use the Local User's credentials. If you, personally, do not have access to a file, neither does an SSIS package you are running.
I'm new to SSIS and stuck with a problem and hope some of them would have already gone through any of this.
Task:
Copying files from a remote server to a local machine folder using File System task and For each loop container.
Problem:
The job executes i.e. files are getting copied successfully when I execute from the SSIS designer but when deployed the project on the SQL server instance it isn't copying any files in fact the target folder is totally empty.
I'm not understanding this strange behavior. Any inputs would be of great help!

The For each loop will not error out if it doesn't find any files.
The SQL Agent account may not have access to read the directory contents.
Check is your path a variable - is it being set by a config or /SET statement?
Can you log the path before starting the for loop?
Can you copy a dummy file and see can SSIS see this file?
How are you running the job - cmd_exec() can give spurious results with file I/O tasks
The issue was related to the user authorizarions of the SQL Server agent service.
When I execute the job from SQL Server it uses agent service and for that agent service you need to assign a service user who has access rights to the desired file path.
