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 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.
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 designed a SSIS package that ensures .CSV file generation into a destination folder using a Script Task component. Everything is ok when I run from the Visual Studio solution but the problems starts to appear right after deployment in SQL Server. The Script Task shows success but no file is generated. If someone please can provide help.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Are you running it through a SQL job? This might be because the SQL Agent account (or whatever account you're running with) might not have Read/Write permissions on that particular directory.
I have a problem with SQL JOB.
I am using SSIS to import data into database. While I am running SSIS through Visual studio it works as expected. Also when I am running the SSIS from Integration Services Catalogues in SQL Server, it works fine. But my issue is that when I am trying to import data into my DB using SQL JOB (using the same SSIS as in previous cases), although there is no error message and Sql job runs with success, the destination table in my DB is empty (no data are imported into my DB).
When I checked the execution report for SSIS, run by SQL I see this warning:”Foreach Loop Container: Warning: The for each file enumerator is empty. The for each file enumerator did not find any files that matched the file pattern, or the specified directory was empty.”
Once again, everything works OK when I am running SSIS in other way than by using SQL JOB.
Am I doing something wrong? How can I solve this problem? Please help me, because I am not able to solve this issue.
Thank you.
