I have a SQL Server Job running on server X.
Now I have to delete the existing AS(Analysis Services) backup files on server Y and create a fresh backup again. I wrote the required code in a batch file and saved it on hard drive of server X. I am executing this batch file using an execute process task in SSIS.
This SSIS package which is on server X will be run through a SQL Server Job at a particular time in every week.
This batch file executes successfully if I run the package manually, but it's failing if I run through a scheduled job! I tried this many times but in vain.
Error message says that "Access Denied" for deleting the files on server Y.
Any help would be appreciated!
When you manually execute the batch file, your credentials are presented to server Y, they are accepted and the OS deletes the file as requested.
When the SQL Agent run the same file, the SQL Agent service account's credentials are presented to server Y. Either they are being rejected by the server-it's not authorized to even look at the box or it can read and list the files on \ServerY\SomeShare but ultimately it is not able to delete a file.
Resolution
Option 1) On Server Y, add the account that corresponds to Server X's SQL Agent Service Account with sufficient privileges to see the folder where the AS backup is and delete the backup.
Option 2) Create a credential and a proxy on Server X that has the above permissions on Server Y and then execute the SSIS package as that user, assuming of course the credential has all the other permissions Server X's Agent account does.

Hello I am trying to create a new plan on SQL server to backup all my database.
My goal is to backup them to a network drive thus if I do have some trouble with my server, I will be able to restore databases to other server thanks to backup present in the network drive.
When my plan is executed, I do have some error so I try to execute manually the relative query.
After some investigation, it seems even net use command doesn't work (whereas it is working and I do it from cmd)
EXEC XP_CMDSHELL 'net use Z: \\ServerName\loggin/user:loggin password'
error is
System error 1450 has occurred. Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
Beside, I do have another server where it is working so I suppose some configuration missing but can't find them
as my network drive is also accessible via FTP, I chose this way to make the job : create a batch file that run winscp and use this batch file in a SQL agent job . I need to add right to batch file to SQL Server agent account. I also need to define a credential and a proxy to be used in the job.
SSIS Job was able to run and create CSV files to shared location until last week when it was executed from scheduled job. The ssis package reports success but does not write file to shared location. When I run the package manually from visual studio it works fine. Please help
Permissions to the file share seem to be your issue.
When running the package as a scheduled job from SQL Agent. It is executed under the context of the service account for the SQL Agent Service. So make sure the the sql agent account has the appropriate read/write access to the file share, and/or set the job to execute as a user with enough permissions.
You need to give Modify permissions to the file share for the SQL Server Agent account. Executing an SSIS package in Visual Studio is executing it under the context of your account (or the account that you are logged onto the server with if doing it from a server). But when you use SQL jobs to execute the ssis package, then it runs under the context of the service account that SQL Server Agent is running under.
I have a SSIS package which i tried to schedule as a job in SQL Server Agent.
In order to achieve this i have created a Credentials with User having SysAdmin role to the server. Also i have created a proxy account to run the job where the principals added for
SQLServerAgent,SQLServerOperator,SQLServerReader.
While configuring job selected package source as File system and given the package path to execute the same.
Package is running good and updating results to table stand alone but not working when executing via SQL Job.
Error:
The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x7D722F8836388B46956B164E33DE8955 (reason: A required privilege is not held by the client). The step failed.,00:00:00,0,0,,,,0
Fix Tried: Modified the package security with Encryptallwithpassword and no luck still.
Check your SQL Server Agent service account to make sure it has permissions to the database and the folder where the packages are being called from.
The proxy account is the user that the package will run as, so make sure that is selected in the job step.
For package encryption, unless you are saving credentials in the package, you can set the protection level to "DontSaveSensitive". It sounds like the proxy account will have the permissions you need already assigned.
I have an SSIS package with the Execute Process Task, which runs 7zip exe to zip a file. This works fine when I run the SSIS. But when I run this SSIS from the SQL Agent it hangs. I assume this is something to do with the permission. I have given full control to Network Services and sqlsvc to the folder which has the zip exe and the folder it is extracting to. Still no luck. What should I do to make this SSIS run from the SQL agent.
I have created a proxy account which has administrator privilege and change the Job Step "Run As" property to the new proxy account instead of SQL Agent Service Account. I think the SQL Agent Service account doesnt have the access to run the process. You can also change the SQL Agent Serice Account group policies to make it work.
I would change the WindowStyle property to Hidden - the SQL Server agent may be hanging when it tries to create a Windowed process.
I have a SSIS package (exports some database tables --> CSV file)
After creation of this package, I can run the package
from Visual Studio or just by clicking it.
But it fails if i add to execute this package as a SQL Agent Job scheduled at some arbitrary time of a day.
Pointers needed if i have to configure anything related to Permissions/Command line args ??
Thanks in advance
You don't give details of the error message received when the package is run by the Agent, but you need to check the rights of the Windows account under which the SQL Server Agent is running.
If all the package does is export database tables to text files you need to check that the service account has rights to:
connect to the database and run
select statements on the source
tables (if you are using Windows
Authentication to control the
database connection).
Create files
in the target location(s) in the
file system.
The windows account under which my SQL Server Agent runs belongs to sysadmin
Also the same user has admin privileges in my system to access the folders while exporting to the csv file.
The error message in the Job history :
Executed as user: MymachineName\JOBUSER. The package execution failed. The step failed.
In the step i have the SSIS Package included, with correct datasource connections,
Run as : SQL Agent Service Account (this is also run under MymachineName\JOBUSER user)
