DTS package fails with "general error" message

  • Hello.

    Can anyone help me with this. It is probably difficult to say exactly what is wrong, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I don't even know where to look since it's only a general error.

    This is my log file:

  • Hi

    Have you tried running each step one by one? Do they all execute? Secondly if they do check you have the latest SQL Service pack installed. Use this SELECT SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel')

  • Hi. Thanks.

    This is a production system and has been running since Jan 1 2006. It has only failed 3 times, so the code as such is correct. I have been thinking about time-outs though.

    The latest SP is installed.

    Another problem is that this DB is in the UK and I am in another country, so it is not a quick process to get log entries etc.

  • Hi

    I think you are onto something with the timeout...Can you monitor the network bandwith and check it against when you have errors in your DTS package?

  • I have been trying to get the Application log and other stored logs from the customer. I am still waiting for an answer 🙂

  • Hi,

    I have seen the "general error" messages at times when the network just fails. Like suppose you are connecting to some network resource etc and the network just fails for an instant then the package fails with this "general error" and i have spent some time debugging it without a clue. So i am not sure if there would be any logs if there are any network issues. you might have to dig some event logs around to check.
