I created an SSIS package, which runs fine in Sql Server Business Intelligence. The problem is when I try to schedule a job to run, I tested it and it says the exe does not exist in the directory and it lists the path to the directory where the exe is located. The exe is obviously there, and the exe runs fine, it just doesn't like the package when I try to schedule a job.
The error that I can see in the job activity monitor is
Description: File/Process "FileName.exe" does not exist in the directory "DirectoryName" End Error
Anybody know how to fix this?
An SSIS package is not an EXE. The name is typically something like 'MyPackageName.dtsx'. The package is interpreted & executed by the DTS utility running in conjunction with a SQL Server instance.
We use SQL Agent to run SSIS packages as a standard part of our application, so that itself shouldn't be a problem. How do you have your SQL Agent job defined?

I have an SSIS job that contains a script task.
There is also a connection to another server within the package that can only be executed accessed by a specific user and the agent cannot be given read rights to the other server.
So the solution to this is have the SQL job be run as the required user.
The problem with this is this user does not have full control over the folder/file where the script task will be temporarily located while the code runs so I get a failure on the script task but if I run it in visual studio or with the normal agent account the script task executes successfully.
I have tried giving the user access to all major drives on the server but this has not solved the problem
Is the script doing something on the folder?
Or does it just need permission to execute script?
I would anyway advise you to implement error handling in script:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/extending-packages-scripting/task/logging-in-the-script-task?view=sql-server-2017
Make sure it works in visual studio, so that when you get that error you are sure that the error is caused by permissions/environment.

I have built a custom job log framework which logs all of the tasks which are execute in an SSIS package along with any error that surface. Once complete, an enhancement was requested to also store any SQL queries that the SSIS package executes on the SQL Server. This is not limited to only Execute SQL tasks, they are looking for ANY SQL queries that the pack runs. I am aware of the OnInformation logging that is part of the SSIS logging framework, but this only shows some of the query.
Thanks in advance!

If you need to code it, you should consider that there are two main types for deployed SSIS packages: Legacy mode and Catalog mode.
Legacy Mode deploys pacakges to msdb where you can find using SELECT name, packagedata FROM msdb.dbo.sysssispackages
Catalog Mode uses SSISDB, you can use catalog.get_project to return project_stream which represents a zip file containing the packages in the project. You can refer to How to export packages deployed in "Integration Services Catalog" using any command line, C# or T-SQL?.
After having the packages' XML, you can easily identify which components you want to export.
I have a 2008 SSIS package that have a lot of steps, one of the steps is a script task that runs a stored procedure. It is not an option for now to change it from a script task, as it would require a lot of extra developing. The procedure runs fine in the production environment, but I need to be able to test it from VS.
The reason for the failure I have found is that the connection to the target database is not working, it is giving error "Login failed for user 'user'".
The SSIS package is built on a SSIS framework, and it has a "Initialize Connections" task as an Event in the "Initialize" part of the package. I do not know much about what this does. I want to just run the Data Flow (With "Execute task" option inside the Data Flow).
In the ProtectionLevel for the package I have tried both DontSaveSensitive and EncryptSensitiveWithPassword without any luck. I manually insert the password in the Connection Manager.
I read some about the need to use a connection manager/XML file, but I'm unsure of how this can be done. (Not done much SSIS before).
Please explain how this debugging in VS should be done.
I have built out a simple FTP job in Pentaho that places a file in a local directory. I need to be able to call this job in a SQL server agent job which I can then schedule and use, but when I set the agent job up it runs through the steps successfully but does not produce anything to show that it was in fact successful.
I am pretty confident the Pentaho job itself is fine because it can be run through the UI, command line, and .bat file. Everything works as expected except when I try to make this SQL Server Agent job and I have no idea why!
Here is the only step in the job When I use this i'm prompted with no errors but nothing actually happens. If I try to enclose it in quotes I get an error.
Any help would be appreciated
Figured it out!
Apparently, only the first line of the command was executing. So it was navigating to a different directory but not executing any commands. I remedied this by putting everything on one line and adding a && to it.
Command line used: cd c:\pentaho\data-integration && kitchen.bat /file:C:\pentaho\Jobs\BW\FTP_BW_TRN.kjb /level:Basic
I am using the 7zip standalone .exe to unzip a file. I am using the Execute Process task for this. I have tested this over and over again on multiple machines and I know it works (at least in debug mode/visual studio). I have uploaded this package the server. I have created a job that calls said package from the Package Store. The package is not able to find the .exe no matter where I put it.
My first thought was to put the .exe on the C:\ drive, which failed. I have also failed in my attempts to place the .exe on a network location that the account the package is running under has full control over.
Basically, has anybody else had issues getting the Execute Process Task to find an executable when the package is uploaded to the server?
The error message is
Can't find 7za.exe in directory C:\7zip
I'll risk a downvote for being wrong, but I believe you have a permission issue.
You say it runs fine on other servers from BIDS, try it without BIDS. Call it from a command-line on a box that it works on.
dtexec.exe /file C:\HereComesTheUnzipper.dtsx
If that works, then repeat the step on the troublesome server. RDC into the box and try again
dtexec.exe /ser localhost /sq HereComesTheUnzipper
If that still works, then you are looking at an issue with the job. What account is the SQL Agent service running as? Is the SSIS job step running as a particular set of credentials? If so, is it a SQL Server login (which wouldn't map to anything on the physical box)? Regardless of what your answer is, the resolution will be to ensure the account has access to
7z.exe
whatever scratch area 7zip may use while unpacking files (I assume %temp%)
the output folder (C:\bin\7z.exe -e e:\data\MyThing.7z)
