SSIS package not running when called as step in SQL Job - ssis

I have a .dtsx file (an SSIS package) that downloads files from an FTP server and imports data. It runs fine whenever I run it manually. However, when I schedule calling the package as a step in a SQL server agent job, it fails. The step it fails at is the one where I call a .bat file. The error in the job history viewer says this:
Error: 2009-05-26 12:52:25.64
Code: 0xC0029151 Source: Execute
batch file Execute Process Task
Description: In Executing
"D:\xxx\import.bat" "" at "", The
process exit code was "1" while the
expected was "0". End Error DTExec:
The package execution returned
DTSER_FAILURE (1).
I think it's a permissions issue, but I'm not sure how to resolve this. The job owner is an admin user, so I've verified they have permissions to the directory where the .bat file is located. I've tried going into Services and changing the "Log On As" option for SQL Server Agent, and neither option works (Local System Account and This Account). Does anyone have ideas as to what other permissions need to be adjusted in order to get this to work?

I tried executing just the batch file as a SQL Job step, and it gave more specifics. It showed that it failed when I was trying to call an executable, which was in the same directory as my .bat file, but not in the windows/system32 directory, which is where it was executing from.
I moved the executable to the system32 directory, but then I had no clue where my files were being downloaded to. Then I found that there's a property for the Execute Process Task (the one that executes the .bat) called WorkingDirectory. I set this to be the directory where the bat is located, moved the executable back into the same one as the .bat file, and it's now working as expected.

For me it was a permissions issue. Go to Environment --> Directories, then change Local directory to something the SQLAgentUser can access. I used C:\temp. Click the dropdown for Save, and choose "Set defaults".

Are you executing the SSIS job in the batch file, or is the batch file a step in the SSIS control flow?
I'm assuming the latter for this answer. What task are you using to execute the batch file (e.g. simple execute program task or a script task). If the latter, it looks like your batch file is actually failing on some step, not the SSIS script. I'd check the permissions of what your batch file is trying to access
In fact, it might be a better idea to rewrite the batch file as a script task in SSIS, because you'll get much better error reporting (it'll tell you which step in the script fails).
You could try executing the batch file using the runas command in a command window. If you try and execute it under the local system or network system account, it should give you a better error. If it does error, you can check the error level by going "echo %ERRORLEVEL%".
If it wasn't the latter, and you're executing the SSIS package via a batch file, why?

Are you possibly accessing a mapped drive in your .bat file? If so, you can't rely on the mapped drive from within the service, so you'd have to use UNC path.

I had the same error and I resolved it by logging on to the user account that runs the job, opened Coreftp site in question there, test the site access, made the change there (in my case, I had to reenter the new password) and now it works.
So yes, it is an issue of file access. This one is file access to the coreftp site in question.

File System Move File doesn not work but Script Task System.IO does

I have an SSIS Package that as part of the process uses a File System Task to move a file to an archive folder.
The Source is a variable from a For Each Loop. The Destination is a File Connection with the connection string set to a Variable. The variable is static assigned in dev, and pulled from a package config when deployed.
Everything works in VS in the dev environment. I deploy to SQL Server and schedule with a SQL Job. Job fails. Immediately, I think it's a permissions issue but my Proxy has Modify to the destination and read on the source.
I then rewrite the package so the move file is done in a script task using system.io. Deploy that and it works with the same proxy account on the job, so it's not a permissions issue.
I'm happy it works, but want to know why it failed before.
The error I got when it failed was, "File or Directory "\destinationpath" represented by connection "archiveconnectioname" does not exist."
Has anyone any ideas?

SSIS - EXECUTE PROCESS TASK The process exit code was "16" while the expected was "0"

IN The SSIS package I am getting execute process task error; exit code was 16 expected was 0 I am using robocopy however when I use robcopy from command prompt it successfully copy my zip files from one folder to another folder.
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks
A return code of 16 suggest you have permissions issues. If you are running your package via SSDT/BIDS, make sure you are running it as an administrator.
To open BIDS/SSDT as an administrator, right click on the shortcut and hit run as administrator, then open your solution.
If you are running it via Sql server agent job make sure the user/proxy account you are using has required access/permission.

How to fix exit code issue while using WinSCP for SFTP from within SSIS package?

I am using SSIS 2005 to do some SFTPtasks using WinSCP. I googled about the error but couldn't make it work. I got this error:
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" "-script=C:\Documents and Settings\nian_z\Desktop\temp\SSISMovingSOA\removeSOA8.txt" at "C:\Program Files\WinSCP", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Here is my WinSCP script that I use:
option batch abort
option confirm off
#open sftp://user:password#server:22
#cd /m/vo/Cont/fileftp
get OrderOutbound*
close
exit
For above script, I even tried leaving only one statement at a time, but still got error.
Here is the setup of the execute process task.
This is not an answer but an attempt to help you find a solution to your problem.
Try this:
Try the following steps to find out if your script is actually working outside of SSIS or not.
Click Windows Start and click Run...
Type cmd to open Command Prompt.
On the command prompt window, type the following command at the prompt to switch to the WinSCP installation directory. I have the WinSCP installed in the following directory. Change the path according to your environment settings.
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP"
If your WinSCP script file removeSOA8.txt is located in the path C:\Documents and Settings\userid\Desktop\temp\SSISMovingSOA\ with spaces, then type the following command by enclosing the script path in double quotes to run the script and also use the /log option to capture all the status messages.
WinSCP.exe "/script=C:\Documents and Settings\userid\Desktop\temp\SSISMovingSOA\removeSOA8.txt" /log=C:\temp\WinSCP_log.txt
After the script executes, your will find that a log file named WinSCP_log.txt will be created in the path C:\temp. Read through the file to identify if there are any error messages.
Attempt to run FTP in SSIS:
I tried downloading a file from FTP using WinSCP with the following script:
option batch abort
option confirm off
open ftp://myuserid:mypassword#ftp.myftpsite.com:21 -passive=on
cd /root/somefolder/
option transfer binary
get SomeFileOnFTP.txt c:\temp\
close
exit
Here are the settings how I have configured the Execute Process Task within the SSIS package.
The process ran successfully in BIDS.
Hope that gives you an idea.
If you are running the script from SQL Server job agent then mostly you will get this exit error.
Scenario: In my case I faced when i m trying to download a file from sFTP server.
Solution :
Step 1 - Create a batch file
#echo off
CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP"
winscp.com /ini=nul /script=C:\path\download_script_pm.txt
Exit
Note: When calling using SQL Server Job agent make sure to NULL out the “ini” configuration else it will throw up this error
Step2 – create a txt file (winscp script)
option echo on
option batch on
option confirm off
open sftp://user:password#sftp.xxxx.com/ -hostkey="ssh-edXXXX-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx"
option confirm off
get -filemask=">=1D" /sftp_Path/File_Name_.csv
C:\local_path_for_downloaded_file\"
exit
Note: make sure to use hostkey. To obtain host key you need to do the following :
1. Open winscp app tool and login to the server
Click Session -> Generate Session / URL code option
Check SSH Host key and copy the finger print value and use in the winscp hostkey value
Earlier I was getting the same error but now is working fine for me.

Why can't I run my Perl job in Hudson?

I tried to do this in Hudson but:
I have a script in Perl on my server (windows): lets say: d\util\demo.pl I want to have it running in Hudson. so I go to Hudson, create new job, go to: Build Execute Windows batch command and add: perl.exe d\util\demo.pl
I got this error: 'perl.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
please help!
It can't find the perl.exe in the path of the agent that is running the task. Verify that perl is properly installed AND that the path where perl.exe was in stalled to is in you system path on EVERY agent that will run this task.
Can you run that command from any folder of the server?
If yes, than the Hudson server runs definitely under a different user account. Make sure that the user account Hudson is running under has all necessary environment variables set.
If not, than add the full qualified path to the perl.exe (e.g. C:\program files\perl\bin\perl.exe d:\util\demo.pl). If this doesn't help, you have to also set all environment variables (see "if yes").
