This is my package.
Does anyone know how to preserve the number of errors at the level of the package in SQL or .txt file? I'm new in SSIS. Thank you.
Go to Event Handlers tab then select OnError from the dropdown. Here you can send an email on any error or you can develop your own custom logic to log errors into a DB or write them to a text file.
Also, you can choose from existing logging mechanisms available in SSIS. Click on the menu item "SSIS", you will see the first option as Logging then you will see different options to log errors/warnings.
Hope this helps!
Store the number in a package-level variable.

I have setup ssis logging to a text file. In the connection manager I have selected create file and given path as c:\logs\log.txt
Notice that log file is not generated if the log folder is absent. How to ensure that folder is created if not exists? I tried choosing create folder on connection manager but that is also not creating the log file in absence of the c:\log folder.
How to ensure folder is auto created and log is always generated?
You have a chicken and egg scenario here. Consider the following replication of your problem
I have the connection manager driven by a variable LogFileName which generates the date and time. That file lives in whatever folder is specified by LogPath and the first thing my package does is create the folder if it does not already exist. "This thing can run anywhere and all is good." I've said that plenty and have the scars to show for it.
The following shows the events you can choose to log (based on what is in my package).
I am only logging OnPostExecute events. So I'm good, right? Because the post execute event won't fire until after that File System Task has completed.
If that were the case, you wouldn't have posted a question.
The first event that a package generates is a PackageStart event. Look at that list of events - no ability to filter that out. It doesn't matter whether you want that event logged or not, the logging handlers hear the PackageStart event and record it. Always.
The specified Text file logger should be used to record the data and it's ready to record PackageStart to file... "oh that path doesn't exist."
It will exist once the very first task (File System Task, Create Folder) has completed but alas, it it too late. You either get the complete sequence of events or none.
In your Output window, you would see something like the following
SSIS package "C:\Users\bfellows\source\repos\PackageDeploymentModel\PackageDeploymentModel\ChickenAndEgg_Logging.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC001404B at ChickenAndEgg_Logging, Log provider "SSIS log provider for Text files": The SSIS logging provider has failed to open the log. Error code: 0x80070003.
The system cannot find the path specified.
Error: 0xC001404B at ChickenAndEgg_Logging, Log provider "SSIS log provider for Text
files": The SSIS logging provider has failed to open the log. Error code: 0x80070003.
The system cannot find the path specified.
SSIS package "C:\Users\bfellows\source\repos\PackageDeploymentModel\PackageDeploymentModel\ChickenAndEgg_Logging.dtsx" finished: Success.
The package will show your Control Flow objects as all having gone green/OK and the status message will say it "Package execution completed with success" but on the results tab, you'll have a red X showing the log provider couldn't open the log.
What do I do
Preconfigure your environments as part of the package deployment process. When we used the native logger as you're inquiring about, we had a document that laid out all that new developers/new servers needed to have done to ensure all of this stuff was laid out and configured as it needed to be.
Unless a client has a strong business case for using the classic logging methodology, I would encourage them to not use it and instead rely on the SSISDB's native logging. It's cleaner, easier to manage, no special setup required. To quote the fine folks in Cupertino - it just works
I have created a master control package that calls several packages using the execute package task control. I have set all the package file locations to use a sql config table which contains the file location and then used an expression to include the package name. Everything works as expected however I want to include some handlers to notify me if the package location does not exist (just in case somebody changes the path in the config table). To test I set an incorrect file name in one of the expressions which turned the execute package task control red as expected however I can't figure out how to add the notification task. I have tried all the error handler events assocaited with it but no joy plus I added a mail task to the task in question for failure and this did not execute!
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
That's why you have OnError event handler, just configure it properly. Are you sure, you're checking Event Handlers for the package and not for one of the blocks inside?
There's a plenty of system variables with OnError scope. Check grey x in Variable window to see them. You might want to use:
- ErrorDescription
- ErrorCode
- SourceName
but choose them according to the report format.
Now in event handler create a script which will put a message into a new variable, and finally send it with send mail task.
I am creating a database for my Unit (I am in the Army) and I need a button that will launch a file when clicked. The file is a .xfdl file used for military forms in a program called PureEdge. Is this possible and how would I go about doing it. I have searched it as much as I know how, but it seems that my Google-Fu is failing me.
Thanks for any help.
If the file type is associated with the program, that is, the file will launch when clicked, then FollowHyperlink may suit, otherwise, you may need to use Shell. For example:
Call Shell("""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\msaccess.exe"" ""c:\docs\db.mdb""", vbNormalFocus)
I am new to SSIS packages and I am trying to get logging to work from within a custom script. We have it logging the native messages from the package already but I want to add my own custom log messages to it. I see on the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponent class there is a Log method but I am unsure what to use for the dataCode and dataBytes arguments so I used 0 and an empty array but this did not log anything.
So how do I get the logging to work from within my script?
Are there any configurations that I need to know about to enable it?
Thanks
Note: I am working with SqlServer 2008 SP2 (not R2)
You need to make sure that the task is enabled for logging. Select SSIS > Logging... from the BIDS menu. Select your data flow task. On the Providers and Logs tab, ensure that a log provider is selected. Select the Details tab and Check the ScriptComponentLogEntry event. Note that this event is not inherited from the Package settings; so you have to select the data flow task. Now your logging should be captured.
You may also be interested in the ComponentMetaData.FireInformation method to log an information event. Here's more information on FireInformation and related methods. You may find these easier to configure, since the associated events (OnInformation for FireInformation) are inherited from the package settings. In other words, if you set logging for the OnInformation event at the package level, all tasks will log the OnInformation event.
I don't know if this will help, but i enabled logging to a text file called test.txt on my C Drive.
Public Sub Main()
Dim rowsProcessed As Integer = 100
Dim emptyBytes(0) As Byte
Dts.Log("Testing, Test 1,2,3", rowsProcessed.ToString, emptyBytes)
Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
End Sub
You have to go into the SSIS->Logging menu and tick checkboxes like a crazy checkbox-ticking-ninja to get this to work.
There are various checkboxes that have to be checked, and some of them only appear when you click on the script tasks, so it took me a while to figure this out:
First, enable your logging provider (that you have set up, right?) by ticking it on the Providers and Logs tab.
Then switch to the Details tab (which shows various events that you might want to log)
For the DTS.Log() method you need the ScriptTaskLogEntry event, but they only show up when you click on Script Tasks in the tree on the left.
So, click each of your Script Tasks in the tree on the left, enable it for logging, and then tick the Script Tasks event on the details tab.
Also make sure your logging provider is ticked for each script task

This is an old question and #codeulike has answered it well but I would like to add a note about the logging behavior in debug mode, specially for someone new to SSIS or SSIS logging (like me) - Assuming you have all the configuration in place required for logging, if execute a selected task that you expect to log, it still will not log. Only if you execute (or debug) the entire package, then the logging will work.
If you are sure you have done configured everything correctly and still cant see your dbo.sysssislog in the database you selected, then check in the following
YourDatabase > tables > system tables
you can find your loggings there.
its my first time doing package loggings and configured everything correctly and could not see that dbo.sysssislog in the database it was supposed to do loggings and banging my head for half an hour when i realised it was in system tables of that particular database.
I realize that this question is rather old, but maybe it helps someone.
I ran into the same problem - while debugging in Visual Studio my textfile logging provider just did not write into the configured logfile.
My logfile was in the directory "project-directory/bin/development".
After changing the path to "project-directory-name"-root (eg. "/project-directory-name/test.txt" it worked.
I cannot explain this - it is just what I have observed.
