I have an SSIS package that I have deployed to the file system. The owner for the package is my Windows Login. The reason for this is that it needs to write files to another server. If I make the owner NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT the error that I get is that the files on the remote server cannot be accessed.
The package itself runs under my account. The package normally takes about 5 minutes to run and works when run directly (double click, click Execute and enter decryption password). I can tell the package has run because it writes a number of logs to the file system.
I've set up a SQL Server job to run the package. The job says it's run successfully but there are no logs being written. I'm not sure where I've gone astray other than there's some account that I'm likely missing.
Has anyone else ever run into this?
The issue was that I needed to set up a proxy Account to run the SQL Server agent.

I have one package which loads data from excel using ace.oledb.12.0 driver to SQL server(same server where SQL agent service is running.).
When I ran this Step from SQL Agent using Infrastructure Service account it succeed.
When I ran this step using a credential account it is stopping the job as a failure 'Unexpected Termination'.
Funny part is this is running exactly fine for files with data size low(100kb-300kb) when run from both Infrastructure Service account and a Credential account.
But for my current file having size 4.5 mb it is failing via Credential account.
Is there a way I can capture why the job is getting terminated?

Looks like you need to find out detailed error message to know more. Did you deploy package using SSIS Project Mode in SSISDB or running as File System Package? When you run SSIS Package via Agent Job you will see very limited error message and many times its useless. So better to run package under SSIS Catalog so you see full execution log. If that is not possible then try to Add Some SSIS Log Provider (see below) for better logging on error messages.
How to add SSIS Log Provider in your package
How to view execution log in SSIS Catalog (See Step#10 in this link)
I created a SSIS package that watches for files being created on another server using a WMI Event Watcher Task. This package works fine when I run it in VS. It works fine when I manually Execute it from the Integration Services Catalog. When I try to run it as a scheduled SQL Agent Job I get
Error: Watching for the Wql query caused the following system exception: "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))". Check the query for errors or WMI connection for access rights/permissions.
My question is why does this not run as a SQL Agent Job when I can run it successfully several different ways? Based on the error code seems to be a COM/DCOM security issue.
So far I have:
Tried many web sites most are more or less like this
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/wmi-troubleshooting?redirectedfrom=MSDN I have followed all the instructions on these websites with no change.
Gone back and gave even more permissions then specified by the website to the COM Limits and DCOM Config of the Windows Management and Instrumentation.
Have restarted the WMI service on the other server several times after each change.
Tried SA and myself as owner of the Job.
Tried my usual SQL Agent Proxy account and the default Server Agent Service Account (which is a Managed Service Account) as the Run As for the package.
Tried running as a 32 and 64 bit runtimes.
Have made the SQL Agent Proxy account and Server Agent Service Account Admins on the other server.
Tried hard coding my user name and password into the Connection Manager and used Windows Authentication.
* New tests *
Tested the SQL Agent Job using the File System as the package source instead of the SSIS Catalog, still failed with same error.
Tested running package using the Execute Package Utility and it worked!
The AgentSqlServer user does not have rights to launch WMI Querys on server, You should create a proxy account and join it à to the step on the SQL Job.
I am building a package that performs multiple tasks and sends a success email (from script task) as last step of the package.
When running the package manually from Visual Studio the email is sent correctly. However, when running the deployed package from a Job in SQL Server the email is never sent (I have checked in the Gmail account that sends the email and it does not appear in the "Sent" folder).
I also checked the report for the package execution and I can't find the send email task, so it seems that it never actually get to the script task that sends the email.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks!
Ensure that you can send mail in SQL Server without Visual Studio involved. Also, the job from SQL Server sometimes runs as a different user than you when you login and run via Visual Studio. The problem may be that the script isn't running because the SQL Server user does not have permission to run a portion of the script. I would set this to run as an SSIS job in SQL Server and then check the SSIS log in SQL Server to see where the failure is occurring. If it is a different user issue, you can solve a multiple number of ways. You can give the SQL Server user the necessary permissions or you can setup a proxy account in SQL Server that has permission to run the job
The following link answers this question. Before deploying to SSIS, change the SQL Server version:
SSIS: script task (vs15) not work when deploy on sql server 2014
I have noticed something else while looking at the execution report, and now I am even more confused... (since other jobs that tigger emails are executed and everything is fine).
1) When executing the job from a job (executed by SQLSERVERAGENT) it seems like the task runs (since logs appear), but still the email is not sent:
2) When executing in SQL Server manually (with my user which is SysAdmin) an error appears:
I post this question to the other forums too but still cannot find any solution.
I create SSIS package to send file to SFTP server. It works fine when I execute the package with in the SSIS.
But when I tried to run via SQL agent it keeps on running without sending the file until I stops the job by force.
I add the proxy account too but no solution.
My script to run the package is
option batch on
option confirm off
open sftp://UserName:Password#SFTP server Name :22001 -timeout=240
cd ToAA
option transfer binary
put C:\test29022016.csv
mget *.csv
Exit WinSCP
close
exit
Kindly help to solve this issue

The only difference between you running the package manually, and the SQL Agent running it as a job, is the account that is running the package. In the first case it is your account, and in the second case, it is the SQL Agent's account.
So if it works in the first case, and not the other, then the problem is that the SQL Agent lacks some permission that you have.
Have your network/security administrator give the SQL Agent all the same permissions you have and it will work.
To find out exactly what permission is missing, try logging into your computer as the SQL Agent's account, and run the package in Visual Studio, and see what error message occurs.
I found a work around and I am using windows task scheduler with the help of batch file to run SSIS.
Here is the short version of the problem: I have a discrete DTSX file that works fine on our Production server, but doesn't on our new Dev server.
Symptom: When run from a SQL-Server job, the job starts and nothing at all happens, and it never finishes... it just hangs, using very little system resources.
Some info: For Prod, the packages were developed on SQL-Server 2012 and run on an NT 2008 server. The new Dev server is also SQL-Server 2012, but runs on an NT 2012 server (in case that matters). I have duplicated the folder/file structure exactly, including drive name. The package uses an external dtsConfig file, but as I said - the folder/file structure is identical.
The SSIS service, SQL-Server Agent, and my remote login are all the same, and is a member of the server Administrator group on the Dev box. If I copy the command line text from the SQL job and run it in a CMD window using dtexec.exe, the package executes correctly. The job owner is my login, and the "run as" is the SQL-Agent, which - as I mentioned - is the same login. Since everything in the package uses integrated security, everything should be running using the same login whether on the command line or via the SQL-Agent, which should eliminate any user permission/credentials issues.
I tried adding SSIS logging to the package, logging everything I could. When I run the package from the command line, I get a ton of messages in the log. When I run the package via the SQL job, there are no messages at all in the log - nothing.
Whatever is going on, it's not getting far enough into the SSIS package to generate a single log entry. It's just stopping but not exiting or throwing an error. FWIW - I have the same problem with every other package I've tried.
Any ideas are appreciated...
I found the cause of the problem. The MS-SQL Server service was using a different login than the SSIS server service and the NT Agent service (it was using a local service account).
Once I changed the MS-SQL Server login to match the others (and restarted the service), the job ran correctly.
