When I execute my SSIS Package manually it works just fine, But when I try to execute it from SQL agent i always get an error. In my case the SSIS is called from a certain path in the server.
. The error is as follows:
Also when I See the Job Scrip I see the following under
#command N'/FILE "N:\HRSSource\SSIS-Pakete IUT-NAV-MSSQL-2 .....
Maybe the error is comming from the N'FILE?
Don't use the mapped drive use the UNC path instead, something like \servername\filepath.
For the Job to access network folders I think you need to set up a proxy with a domain account credentials and that is configured to run jobs of type SQL Server Integration Services Packages.
Look at the error message. It clearly states that the problem is that a package was not found on the path where the program searches for it. As a result, the error occurs and you see the error message. You should look at the location and see whether it exists, the user you are logged in with has the necessary rights for it and the package exists where it is searched for. If not, then according to your needs, change the necessary privileges or copy the missing package.
The job runs on the server, and I assume when you set up the job you didn't do it on the server, you did it on a remote client?
If you did set it up on the server, then most likely N is a mapped drive, which the SQL Agent service account is not aware of. So use a UNC path instead.
The SQL Agent service account (or proxy) also needs access to this UNC path

I posted a similar question before, but I have now came back to the point where I need to deal with this and after some tuning I have managed to get rid of all the errors, except one warning that basically tells me that the path provided to the package not finding any files in the directory (which is false). This almost makes me want to believe this is again a permissions issue. As when I run the package locally it all works fine. Here is the warning:
Same message appears when I right click SSIS package under the catalogue and directly try to execute the job.
I made sure that the caller has full permissions to the folder in question
SQL Server Agent Job calls the job like so
With a single step in it to execute the SSIS package from the catalogue:
The history of the executions is all successful and the history of SQL Agent job is all green
One of the suggestions I got was to open SQL Server Configuration manager but I don't appear to have access to that. I am new to this whole process so I am not sure if authentication has something to do with it or the sa account's permissions.
Note: I am working on this on a remote dev server and not directly on my pc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Since you're running the package as the Agent Service Account:
The permissions need to be applied to the SQL Server Agent Service Account or its per-service SID.
You can see the service account with PowerShell like this:
PS C:\Users\david> (Get-WmiObject win32_service | where Name -eq "SQLSERVERAGENT").StartName
NT Service\SQLSERVERAGENT
Turns out the database instance was on a whole different server that I wasn't even given access to. That server obviously didn't have the path specified in the SSIS package, so what I had to do is create a folder for files in the correct server, reroute my files there, and change the SSIS package path after obtaining the access to the server where DB instance lives. Me being new to all this, it was absolute frustration especially since our team is small and I am new in it I can't just ask someone questions about this all the time. Hopefully this will save someone a lot of time.
I've been stuck on this for sometime now. I have an SSIS package thats supposed to read a file and populate a database. I need to run it from a SQL Server Agent Job and the source files to read are located on a folder in another server that I have shared with this server.
The shared path to the folder looks like like this: \\server\D\folder\folder
However when I run agent job through a service account it tells me File name property is not valid. Filename is a device or contains invalid characters
The SQL Server Agent uses a service account to run this job. It runs just fine if the source path is located somewhere on the machine where the database instance lives, however I can't get it to run from a shared folder. If I run it myself by right clicking on the SSIS catalog I can run it just fine. I am aware that it is most likely a credentials issue, but all of these servers and accounts were not set up by me. Can someone help me explain how I should go about adding appropriate permissions to the said SA account so it can read the files successfully? Some examples/references would be greatly appreciated!
Things I've tried: Going to the folder security tab and adding all permissions to everyone on both the server where the folder originally is from and the server that the folder is being shared from. I can confirm everyone has the permissions with the windows PowerShell Get-Acl command.
Switching owner of the job task in SQL Server Agent to my account (I don't think its supposed to work ever to begin with) - this makes Agent complain about being "Unable to determine if user has server acces" with SA account it does have server access, it just can't read the folder.
I saw a post where someone suggests to change the SQL Agent Job advanced step option to "execute as user" and change the user with appropriate credentials, but I don't even see that option in my MSSQL.
I have stumbled upon this thread here , it was never really solved it seems but it looks like the 3 steps given should help me:
Assume that we need to write \serv\share\dir1..\dirN\targetDir\somefile.txt using SSIS throught SQL Agent Job and nonadmin proxy account MyDomain\TestAccount
MyDomain\TestAccount need read/write access to share \serv\share
MyDomain\TestAccount needed at least FILE_READ_DATA permission for all folders (share,dir1,..dirN)
MyDomain\TestAccount needed the CHANGE rights + FILE_DELETE_CHILD permission for folder targetDir
However, me being new to this, I have no idea how to properly check whether or not all these 3 conditions are true and if they are even completely relevant to the problem
EDIT:
There is a project-level variable in SSIS that determines where to read from (in this case set to \\server\d\folder\folder)
This variable is passed into forEach file enumerator in a for loop.
There is also a fileName variable used to check if file name was already loaded in the db as I store them in the table. The variable goes like this:
DECLARE #FileName VARCHAR(50) SET #FileName='' IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM FileLoadStatus WHERE fileName = #FileName) BEGIN SELECT 1 AS FileExistsFlg END ELSE BEGIN SELECT 0 as FileExistsFlg END
If variables are at fault, I still don't know why it works if I execute it manually through catalog myself, but SQL Server Agent is unable to execute it through an SA account
EDIT 2: Exact errors say the following:
EDIT 3: Now that I have set a windows system task to execute the SSIS package instead of a SQL Server Agent Job it just tells me that the "for each file enumerator is empty" basically meaning it can't find any files in the destination to read, even though files are there
it might be a late respond, for all who come to check for an answer to this issue:
the main thing is to be sure that the SQL agent has the authority to read from the shared folder:
1- hold down the Windows key and press R on your keyboard to open the Run command in windows.
2- type services.
3- search for SQL Server Agent.
4- as in the screenshot shows on the logon option you will find which user the agent is using, be sure that this user has the authority to read from the shared folder.
or change the user to another one with the right credentials.
5- you can check the users of the shared folder by right clicking on it and choosing properties --> security. From this window you can change the credentials of the users.
I've seen this question asked several times but never with a satisfacory answer. I have read through all the posts I can related to this and tried as much as I possibly can.
I have an SSIS package that loops thru a network folder of Excel files, I won't explain what it does inseide the loop container as that is not relevant.
I refernce the folder via a UNC \servername\folder
The package works fine from within Visual Studio.
I deployed the package to the Integration Services Catalogs on the
server
After I deploy, I connect to the server from my local pc via SSMS and then I execute it from SSMS via "Integration Services Catalogs"... Execute - This fails.
However If I remote desktop onto the SQL Server box, then start SSMS, connect to the SQL Server using my own credentials and execute the package using exactly the same method as above it works fine.
When I look in the logs of the failed attempts I see a warning that "The For Each File enumerator is empty". I'm not sure if this is telling the full story as, if I rename the network folder, I get the same message, (I expected to see an error that the folder was not found) - this may or may not be relevant.
I've sketched up a quick overview of what works and what doesn't
NOTE The "script execution" method is just a t-sql script for running these packages. This is the method I will use eventually but at the moment I'm focusing on the simple right-click execute method as this essentially does the same thing.
Since I did this I have tried a few more things...
I've tried accessing the folder as a UNC, a mapped drive and also UNC using IP address instead of server name.
I recreated the issue on our development server so I could change
service accounts etc.
I tried the default accounts on both SSIS and SQL Agent services.
I tried changing these to domain accounts and network service accounts.
I get the package to log the folder name which is and expression - this always looks correct. I do the same with the user name which always shows me as the exection user.
I can change most things as I can test on the development server with the excpetion of testing with a domain admin account so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have a SSIS package which creates a folder in an UNC share and then creates a file there (using script task).
The domain account which is used by SSIS and Agent has all the possible permissions in the DB computer and the share computer.
It always fails there.
I created a test SQL Agent job which creates a backup of the database in the same location and it fails too (Operating system error 5 - access denied).
EDIT: The above test example may be irrelevant since the backup operation is executed by SQL Server Database Engine and not the SQL Agent itself (Agent still schedules the task).
I cannot debug the script task in SSIS and therefore Im not sure what is the problem.
I have managed to fix this problem. The first problem was lack of sufficient task activation/execution permissions in the DCOM config node in Component Services. The permissions had to be set for SQL Server Integration Services.
The second problem was the fact that the UNC path looked like this:
\\192.168.250.51\C$\Folder\
I needed to create another share (visible) like that:
\\COMPUTER-NAME\Folder\
Also don't try to map any drives to the folders. It won't work.
I'm trying to set up a Stored Procedure as a SQL Server Agent Job and it's giving me the following error,
Cannot bulk load because the file "P:\file.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105). [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 4861)
Funny thing is the Stored Procedure works just fine when I execute it manually.
The drive P: is a shared drive on Windows SQL Server from LINUX via Samba Share and it was set up by executing the following command,
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net use P: "\lnxusanfsd01\Data" Password /user:username /Persistent:Yes'
Any help on this would be highly appreciated
I do not know if you solved this issue, but I ran into the same issue. If the instance is local you must check the permission to access the file, but if you are accessing from your computer to a server (remote access) you have to specify the path in the server, so that means to include the file in a server directory, that solved my case.
example:
BULK INSERT Table
FROM 'C:\bulk\usuarios_prueba.csv' -- This is server path not local
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR =',',
ROWTERMINATOR ='\n'
);
To keep this simple, I just changed the directory from which I was importing the data to a local folder on the server.
I had the file located on a shared folder, I just copied my files to "c:\TEMP\Reports" on my server (updated the query to BULK INSERT from the new folder). The Agent task completed successfully :)
Finally after a long time I'm able to BULK Insert automatically via agent job.
Best regards.
I have solved this issue,
login to server computer where SQL Server is installed get you csv
file on server computer and execute your query it will insert the
records.
If you will give datatype compatibility issue change the datatype for that column
Using SQL connection via Windows Authentication:
A "Kerberos double hop" is happening: one hop is your client application connecting to the SQL Server, a second hop is the SQL Server connecting to the remote "\\NETWORK_MACHINE\". Such a double hop falls under the restrictions of Constrained Delegation and you end up accessing the share as Anonymous Login and hence the Access Denied.
To resolve the issue you need to enable constrained delegation for the SQL Server service account. See here for a good post that explains it quite well
SQL Server using SQL Authentication
You need to create a credential for your SQL login and use that to access that particular network resource. See here
I would suggest the P: drive is not mapped for the account that sql server has started as.
It's probably a permissions issue but you need to make sure to try these steps to troubleshoot:
Put the file on a local drive and see if the job works (you don't necessarily need RDP access if you can map a drive letter on your local workstation to a directory on the database server)
Put the file on a remote directory that doesn't require username and password (allows Everyone to read) and use the UNC path (\server\directory\file.csv)
Configure the SQL job to run as your own username
Configure the SQL job to run as sa and add the net use and net use /delete commands before and after
Remember to undo any changes (especially running as sa). If nothing else works, you can try to change the bulk load into a scheduled task, running on the database server or another server that has bcp installed.
I did try giving access to the folders but that did not help.
My solution was to make the below highlighted options in red selected for the logged in user
