How to create Log file in SSIS - sql-server

I want to create a log file in SSIS. I know how to create through management studio, but I wanted to run my SSIS package through Command Prompt.
Can you help me find the Windows commands for that?

You can use the /L option, as documented here; however, you can also set Logging up in a much easier and finer way through the SSIS>Logging menu in Visual Studio.
Cheers,
Eric

In your SSIS you need to create and configure an SSIS Log provider before you can use it. Look into link text for more info.

You need to set up the a new connection string inside of Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). where you have to specify the path of Log file...i mean here path will be D:\Sample_Examples\Log.log... and name of the connection manager will be Log.log
so now the command prompt will get changed into
dtexec /f "C:\\Package.dtsx" /l "DTS.LogProviderTextFile";"Log.log"
instead of
dtexec /f "C:\\Package.dtsx" /l "DTS.LogProviderTextFile;D:\Sample_Examples\Log.log"
we cant specify a direct path after DTS.LogProviderTextFile...because of that only i got error...
Thank you very much for the suggestions...

You can do this another way, without going into your SSIS package.
Create a batch file and run DTEXEC in a new instance of CMD, i.e.:
CMD /C DTEXEC your package and args > log file
When you do this, you can run this batch file and get your log file.
See http://richarddingwall.name/2009/01/26/capture-the-output-from-a-scheduled-task/ for more details

Yes, you have to create a connection manager for the log provider; however; there is no documentation on how to do this if you are using a custom log provider.

You should be able to pull that off using the accepted solution to this question: Hiding command window in vb.net when running processes

path variable changes in sql

I'm not sure why but it looks like sql server is using a different path environmental variable then the rest of my system. When i add the cmd as an external tool in sql, by going to
Tools->external Tools and adding cmd.exe as the command i get a different path.
the shell from sql gives me
echo %PATH%
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\;C:\Windows\system32\NV;.;
This does not reflect my path variable at all
when I echo the path from a regular command prompt I get my full path.
When SQL starts up it looks like it is using its own environmental variables. Does anyone know where these are defined or if I can have my system path appended to this "special" SQL path?
Looks like it's very rare problem. I found only this topic and it without solution.
I faced same problem.
Stopping all services that on the screenshot (in running state) and start them again one by one solved my problem.
I think your SQL Source Control issue may be related to something else. You may want to check your path and make sure that it doesn't have extra backslashes or double-quotes in it -- DOS is fine with that but the dox for ProcessStartInfo in .NET say this will not be a recognized path. For instance
c:\windows;c:\git;"c:\program files\git\bin"
With Git.exe in any of the latter two path components, you could launch Git.exe from the command prompt but the command would fail in SQL Source Control.

Text File Permissions Issue

What is the default SSIS Account that is used in SSIS packages.
In one of my packages I have a Data Flow task that creates a flat file. A BAT file later runs and creates a file based on information in that .txt file. If I execute the .BAT in Windows Explorer it runs fine. When SSIS tries to execute it I can see the CMD window open and it tries to access the txt file and isnt able to. Says "Unable to access nameoffile.txt"
I assume the issue is that the permissions are probably inherited by the SSIS user account so I am trying to figure out which account that is.
If you are running it from the IDE then it uses your permissions. Most likely the problem is that your file is locked by some other process in your SSIS package. To verify:
Add a PAUSE to your batch file to make it wait for any key.
Run your package. While the dos prompt is waiting, go into windows explorer and run your batch file again - you'll find the same error.
I changed the attrib value in dos for that specific folder by attrib -r -s and it worked. It thought it was read-only.
I am using Windows Server 2012 server, with a SQL Server 2012 database.
Adding Modify, Read, Write permissions to the folder containing the required file to the NETWORK SERVICE user seems to work for me.

Reg query does not work with the system account in Windows 7

I am trying run a batch file for a installation and I have used reg query to determine the presence of the pre-requisites and continue the installation.
When I run the batch file manually it works as expected but then when I use SCCM to execute this batch file it fails.
I put a pause and echoed the Errorlevel and found that reg query is not able to find the registry that is actually present when it runs using the "System" account
Is any one aware of this? Any suggestions on how to query the HKLM registry using the system account
Thanks in advance.
