We have a package that we created in VS. The package executes perfectly in VS. We then saved and deployed the package to SSIS. Inside SQL Server Management Studio, the SSIS package executes perfectly when done manually. We have 2 packages that we manually execute. We are trying to schedule these 2 packages to run automatically using the SQL Server Agent. When we set up a job and schedule it, the job fails. The first step in the package fails with the error: Failed Validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN"
We think it has to do with the security on SQL Server Agent, but we have checked and all the permissions seem to be set correctly.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
You should be getting additional error messages other than the VS_ISBROKEN, which will be more helpful in figuring out what's going on. It has been my experience that VS_ISBROKEN almost always refers to an invalid query. For example, the query could be referencing an object that doesn't exist on the target server.
I came across a similar problem in an earlier version of SSMS and found the problem was that the owner of the package in SQL server Agent was incorrect and should be sa or dbo
I don't know if it helps but the symptoms for this seem very similar to mine

I am getting that error when executing an SSIS package (.dtsx) from a sql job.
The package has two connections, one with a local database and one against a remote database. The databases have the same structure, and basically what this package does is transfer records from the local database to the remote one.
The package is tested, in fact if it is run manually in visual studio it works correctly. The problem comes in execution from the SQL Job. In that case it is when you get the error message.
On the same computer I have other packages that do the same (they share the local database but they work with another remote database) and they work correctly and do not give this error.
Any idea what could be the problem that is causing this?
Any help will be appreciated.
are you using SSIS Catalog?
were is the package located for the sql scheduler?
I had similar problem but when i moved the package to SSIS Catalog the problem was solved.

I have taken a look at several articles including this unanswered question: SQL Server Job runs successfully but doesn't execute packages
I have the exact same problem in SQL Server 2012 using the integration services MSDB catalog. I can execute the SSIS packages manually from that catalog, but the agent job doesn't do anything except state that it completed successfully. I have also executed my SSIS packages from within Visual Studio and they worked just fine. Here's the situation and am wondering if it may be permissions:
SSIS packages look for Excel files matching criteria in a network location.
Once found, the SSIS packages writing the data into the database and archive the file to another folder on that same network location.
Emails are sent upon any failure of import of data into the database or migration into the archive folders.
I have the SQL Agent job running the SSIS packages from a package store (MSDB) using the SQL Server Agent Service Account to run under. Currently we are not doing any sort of project deployment to these servers so I am sticking with package deployment. Here are some steps I've taken:
Run packages manually from Visual Studio 2010 (fully successful).
Run packages manually from SQL Server MSDB catalog (fully successful).
Run job manually from SQL Server Agent using parent package as a step that will execute child packages as an external reference (success but nothing happens).
Run job manually from SQL Server Agent using each package as its own step excluding the parent package (success but nothing happens).
Any ideas? Permissions to the network location or need a proxy? Again, I am running Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition 64-bit. Many thanks for any help you can provide.
Found the problem. My SSIS package has a foreach loop container and, while the tasks inside the loop container couldn't access the destination, the loop container technically completed successfully. We had to give permissions to the account the steps were running under for the job to correct that. These permissions were put on the network location to allow that account access to read and write to that location. Additionally, my Excel connection was 64-bit so we enabled it to 32-bit runtime and this allowed that portion of the process to complete successfully. I re-enabled any disabled tasks and it looks good to go now. Thanks!
I have also faced this scenario many times but when I checked running the package manually,its completing successfully because I was using for each loop container and sequence container as well.In both cases for each loop and sequence were completing without validating other ones.So I checked precedence constraint and change it,Now it working and all the component ran successfully.
Sometimes we miss to choose appropriate precedence constraint, there are many option like on Success ,failure,completion and then for you can choose values from Constraint ,Expression,Expression AND Constraint and Expression OR Constraint.
Initially i was using Expression OR Constraint for success and now changed it to Expression AND Constraint, its working fine for me.
You also need to do this,it will definitely work please try and let me know.
I am deploying SSIS packages which are then deployed in DEV (on SQL Server). The packages are executed via job steps using the Integration Services packages job step type (select the type, then select the SSIS server and browse to the package in the catalog)
When this is done, the project and package parameters show up, and we can set certain ones, and others are set via script on the SSIS server so the connection managers IN the package are ok, but FINALLY, my question is:
Does anyone have clever ways to script/deploy the job without having to go change the SERVER: value from, for instance DEVSSIS to PRODSSIS ?
Previously, we were running these packages via PowerShell script that would figure out the local server. We wanted to use the more standard SSIS step so that parameters could be changed if needed in the job step but now it looks like we will have to change the SSIS server by hand.
Any ideas are appreciated!
Thanks
At a previous shop, we would script out the job, and then at the top we would add a variable, (like #SSISServerName) and populate it based on the value of ##SERVERNAME (WHEN ##SERVERNAME = 'MyDevServer' THEN 'MyDevSSISServer' etc...)
Then obviously, go through the rest of the script and replace hard-coded SSIS Server Names with the new variable.
It worked back in SQL 2005 for sure. We could use that job script to deploy the same job to any environment as long as we had accounted for it as a possible ##SERVERNAME value. Dunno if anything has changed in SQL 2014 to prevent this strategy from working.
I have a SQL Server 2000 dts package which copies data from a DBF file to SQL Table
I have created a System DSN and provided UNC Names for both Connection and Database file itself.
It runs smoothly when ran manually but fails when scheduled as a job?
I googled and found that it has to do with the permissions of SQL Server Agent etc
Can anyone guide me to the right source/post a solution?
"The error says xyz.dbf doesn't exist" in the job history
This is related but separate question
If i am pulling data from one SQL server to another using dts package provided a condition only,For example ,copy the data between the servers if SourceServer table has a value "OK"
i.e if SourceServer.SourceDB.Dbo.CheckStatusTable.Statuscolumn="OK" then copy the value else do not copy
If I have something like above condition how do i embed this into a dts package?
Thanks
Hey - I'll answer the first question in your post regarding the error you are receiving. When you run a DTS package manually, it runs under your context using your permissions. When run as a scheduled job, the package runs under the context of the job agent, in this case SQL Server agent.
It appears that the agent is lacking permissions that you have in attempting to complete the operation. Since the error is mentioning the DBF file, I'd start there. Check any permissions for the file itself or whether the context is being passed properly.
I've been having a reoccurring problem that escapes me at this point. I have a job set up in SQL Server 2k that has a few command steps which are followed up by 4 steps that just call DTS packages on the same server. When it comes to calling the packages, the job fails with no real reason given. Ok fine...
Well the thing that I can't figure out is that if I run the packages in order separately they work 100% of the time. I've deleted the packages entirely and re-added them as well as modifying the corresponding step. Am I missing something?
Is there something inherit with the DTS package versioning that causes the job to fail when the package runs just fine as a standalone?
Thanks.
We've always had issues with DTS packages on our SQL Server 2000 databases. You could try checking the windows event viewer/system error logs to see if there is anything more detailed in there.
We've had credentialing issues before that jobs would fail because the windows account running the job may have become inactive - so maybe the credentials the first job is running under doesn't have access to run dts packages, but you (as an administrator) do ?
