I have an issue that is bothering me, and I was thinking maybe someone might be able to help.
The thing is, I have a project made up by multiple packages that are executed within a master package.
When i run the master package, the execution begins, but when it hits the first package that it needs to execute, it just stops.
The output shows me the following things:
SSIS package "Master_Package.dtsx" starting.
SSIS package "Master_Package.dtsx" finished: Canceled.
If i enter that package and run the data flow in it, it works perfectly, but if i run the entire master package, or i just execute that package alone within the master package page, it just stops.
Any help would be gladly appreciated.
Thank you for your time!

Silly and obvious question: Are you using the execute package task on your master package? If so, are you referencing the right child package at the correct location?
It is a straight forward call from Master to Child even if you are passing parameters within the packages and should be no reason for child package to abend unless you are not calling it correctly.

If I create an SSIS package in SSDT that has an error of some sort, save the package, then close and reopen it, it will do validation upon opening the project and alert me of any errors. However, this is the only way I have found to find if I have any errors. If I simply click Build, it will do so without any errors, so this is not the same process as the initial validation. Do I really have to close out of the package and reopen in SSDT to get this functionality? The only other way I have seen is actually during runtime after executing the package. I'm looking for a way before execution.
Task Validations occurs when you open the package if you are working online. This is useful because it finds errors in a package, in most cases with its connections.
If a package contains many connections(SQL or file or others), and every time you open the package, one has to wait several minutes for the validation to complete. If one wants to skip this, change the SSIS to work offline(SSIS->Work offline). This has no affect running the SSIS package as SQL Server Job.
Otherwise, this validation is ALWAYS done automatically before the package executes. If the tasks have validation errors, the execution fails.
The only way I know to explicitly validate the SSIS package is from SSMS Integration Services Catalog. Here you can go to a particular SSIS package and right click on the package you need to validate. Of course, the package needs to be deployed for this.
In SSIS Package Level deployment child package parallel execution is happening. In one execution point there is three execution record that also needs to execute parallel. If I put debug point on 2nd then it's working as expected otherwise it's always executing first. According to the picture of my child package if put debug point in B then only B is executing which is expected behaviour. But if I didn't put debug point then its always executing A.I am new in SSIS don't know much about terminology, please help.
I have created an SSIS solution (using SQL SERVER 2012) to extract data from ServiceNow. All the tasks are wrapped in a Sequence Container. When I right click on the Sequence Container and click Execute Task the package behaves as expected. It extracts the data from ServiceNow and performs the rest of the etl. However when I click Execute Package from the Solution Explorer the package successfully completes but it does not extract any data from Service Now.
I have played around with settings and different package designs but with no change in behavior. I can execute with true success at the task level but not the package level. This behavior is even apparent after deployment. I can execute with success from the SSISDB but with no data extraction. When I hook the deployed package to a job I still get no data extraction.
My thinking it has to be some kind of bug or hidden proxy setting because I only get true success (with data extraction) when I manually execute at the task level - i.e. the Sequence Container.
I have been using SSIS for a couple years now and have not come across this issue. Hopefully someone can help or have some ideas.
Got it. I needed a break and to think about this clearly. I needed to update the Package Property Delay Validation from False to True. That solved the issue. I guess the SSIS engine needed the extra time to validate the variable and expressions set up within the package.
I was wanting to know if there was a way to run an SSIS package, besides in the IDE to monitor the progress by step.
To explain this a little better when you run a DTS package that has say 5 steps in it,the process shows you each step, which step it is currently running, which ones have fail/sucsess and so on.
Is there a way to do this with a SSIS package.
I tried running a SQL job that did 2 SSIS packages and 2 T-SQL statements but, the job just showed the job running and no details about what it was doing or what step it was on and so on.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide on this topic.

Have you tried out Logging? Package logging should be able to give you a whole lot of information about the package such as the component run time, success/failure and etc. If you want to view it on the GUI side then I am afraid, you will have to run it in BIDS which is not optimal when you think about production environment.
I need to execute 29 ssis packages. So planning to create one master package which will execute all these packages. I don't know how to implement this. Can you please explain in brief. Thanks in Advance !
This article does a pretty good job on giving a high level summary of what a master package does, which is basically a package executing other packages in the control flow: http://dichotic.wordpress.com/2006/10/30/creating-the-master-package/
This article goes over logging, variable scope, transactions, etc. from a fairly high level : http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:zMWg5KkFGZcJ:dmachicago.com/WhitePapers/SSIS%2520Master%2520Control%2520Package.doc+ssis+master+package+template&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Alternativly, just use the execute package task. You have to deploy your ssis packages to the server first for this to work.
