Retrieving Error Messages of DTS package in Stored Procedure
-
Hi,
I have been running DTS package from my stored procedure with the following code on SQL SERVER 7:
****************************************************************
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_error_test
AS
DECLARE @ErrorMessage VARCHAR(255)
BEGIN
DECLARE @errnum int
Execute @errnum = master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /S UOGRAD /N dts_error_test /E '
SET @errnum = CONVERT(varchar, @errnum)
IF @errnum=0
PRINT 'Error Number is: ' + CONVERT(varchar, @errnum)
END
****************************************************************
Everything works fine with the above code i.e. I can retrieve the information if the DTS package has been executed successfully or not by checking the value of ‘errnum’ variable. I am not able to retrieve the error string/message that the dts package throws when we run the package in the Query Analyser.
For e.g. I get the following error message when I run the dts package(through Stored Procedure) in the query analyzer.
output
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I get those error messages like ‘Error string: Error opening datafile: The system cannot find the file specified’ in a variable in the stored procedure? Is there any inbuilt variable likes @@error in which I can get those error strings that are thrown in Query Analyzer?

Best solution is to enable DTS package logging. Then you'll be able to query the sysdtspackagelog and sysdtssteplog tables in the msdb database for specific error information.

Thanks!!! I am a newbie in using DTS package. Can you tell me how do I enable logging while executing DTS package. Also does anyone have any example which shows how to access sysdtspackagelog and sysdtssteplog tables.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
-
You enable logging from the Logging tab of the Package Properties dialog. Just right-click on a blank space on the design panel and choose "Properties"
To get the logging detail take a look at my script in the Script Library,
http://qa.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/contributions/556.asp

Thanks!!! That looks awesome. I will try and let you know how it goes. Thank you so much.
-
Well, I went into the Package Properties after right-clicking in the blan space but I could not find the option for logging. I have 3 tabs when I click on package properties: General, Global Variables, Advanced. None of these have logging option. Can you tell me what exactly is written for that option. I have just one matching option which says : Write completion status to event Log.
Please help.
-
Is this because I am using SQL Server 7 and not 2000?
-
Ahh ... yes, missed that important bit of information in your original post.
In SQL 7, I think there is an option to output to a text file and I believe you only option is to parse that text file for errors.
Sorry

Hi, I have a sp that will launch a DTS package, query the result and return errors/success.
It converts hex error value to char message, and returns all info (you can fine-tune) it to your needs.
All functionality is contained within the sp_OA###### procedures, ie DI_DisplayOAErrorInfo , sp_OAMethod , sp_OACreate.
It is a fairly lengthy procedure, and I see there is no "attach" facility, let me know, I'll script and post it.
Documentation on above procedures is detailed enough for you to be able to implement it
-
That would be really kind of you if you can post that script. Also will I have to use username and password method(User:sa) to connect to database. Right now I am using Windows Authentication method to connect to database from my ASP.NET pages.
-
Post the script in the Script Library so all can enjoy.

Thanks for posting the script. Looks like a complex one. I have a very silly question. Where should I give the name of my DTS package that I want to execute in your script. I have stored my dts package in the SQL Server 7 itself under the 'Local Package' tab under Data Transformation Services.
-
Here you have an alternative. I am not sure if it help you
create a variable to store the dtsrun command with paramters
SET @SQLCMD = 'DTSRUN /F "' + @PKG_PATH + '\DATAMARTPROCESS.DTS"'
+ ' /A COMPANY_CODE:8=' + @COMPANY_CODE
VARCHAR(25)) + '"'
/*create a temporart table */
CREATE TABLE #ETL_STATUS(IDNO INT IDENTITY(1, 1), STATUS VARCHAR(255));
/*insert the run details into the table created above*/
INSERT INTO #ETL_STATUS EXEC MASTER..XP_CMDSHELL @SQLCMD
SET @TOTAL_REC = @@ROWCOUNT;
SET @V_LOOP = 1;
SET @STATUS = '';
WHILE @V_LOOP <= @TOTAL_REC
BEGIN
SELECT @STATUS = @STATUS + ISNULL(STATUS, '') FROM #ETL_STATUS WHERE IDNO = @V_LOOP;
SET @V_LOOP = @V_LOOP + 1;
END
/* ETL_RUN_INFORMATION is user table in the user database*/
UPDATE ETL_RUN_INFORMATION SET <RUN_DETAILS > = @STATUS
WHERE DW_PROCESS_ID = (SELECT ISNULL(MAX(DW_PROCESS_ID), 1) FROM ETL_RUN_INFORMATION WITH(NOLOCK));

Now that's a much simpler alternative. The output from xp_cmdshell is streamed into a table.
Once the messages are there you can poke and prod them to work out what you need.
Correct me if I'm wrong, the following is from SQL 2000, but the output would be along the lines of,
Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1' succeeded Step Execution Started: 31/03/2004 3:39:42 PM Step Execution Completed: 31/03/2004 3:39:55 PM Total Step Execution Time: 12.703 seconds Progress count in Step: 30 Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_2' failed Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Step Error Description:Execution was canceled by user. (Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Data Pump (80040e4e): General error -2147217842 (80040E4E).) Step Error code: 80040427 Step Error Help File:sqldts80.hlp Step Error Help Context ID:4700 Step Execution Started: 31/03/2004 3:39:42 PM Step Execution Completed: 31/03/2004 3:39:55 PM Total Step Execution Time: 12.921 seconds Progress count in Step: 1000
