Package.Execute/IDTSEvents vs DTExec

I am executing a package via vb.net with package.execute using the IDTSEvents interface inheriting DefaultEvents. I am trying to emulate DTExec functionality. The package runs fine and I am catching events, but I don't get nearly as many info and progress events as are put out by DTExec. From my understanding DTExec also used the managedDTS application object, is that not the case? If it uses this does anyone have an ideas on how it is grabbing more events? For example I don't get these events that DTExec shows ..

Code: 0x40016041
Source: DWB02130
Description: The package is attempting to configure from the XML file "D:\SSIS\ConfigurationsDatabase.dtsConfig".
End Info

Description: The package is attempting to configure from SQL Server using the configuration string ""Configurations Database";"[dbo].[SSISConfigurations]";"DWB02130";".
End Info

I also don't get as many progress updates during validation, I basically get 0 and 100% while DTExec shows several 1%, 3%, 10%, etc.

Any help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks!

Do you set fireAgain parameter to true for events like OnInformation, OnProgress? If not, the event might not be fired again to avoid overhead associated with sending an event (that presumably nobody listens too).

You can also implement IDTSLogging interface and pass it to Execute method in addition to IDTSEvents interface.sql

Package Execution with SQL Server Agent or DTEXEC

Hello,

I want execute package with SQL Server Agent. I create a job and I try all the solutions : my job doesn't want to work.

I success to launch the package but the execution failed.

I try the same job launching from the server : it doesn't work either.

So, I copy the command line (/FILE, /DTS or /SQL) and with DTEXEC utility it works when this command is executed on the server (on a client computer, the problem "the product level is insufficient" appears).

Why is it working with this utility and not with a job ?

I try to change every secured option (credential --> proxy --> Run as ; change the owner of the job ; etc.)

What options must be checked and modified ?

Thanks for your help !

Somewhere there will be an error, and without that I have no idea. Try using DTEXEC through a job.

I need HELP please :)|||

We created a package which read a flat file from another server and imported it into a table. Our package would run, but the job would not.

We found that we had to change two options - one was the location of the flat file. Our package was looking at a specific directory like "J:\Import Files\file.txt". We replaced the specific drive letter with the shared directory alias \\ServerName\Alias\Import Files\file.txt.

The second change was to alter the package to "Rely on Server ..." instead of "Encrypt Sensitive With User Key".

These two changes allowed Sql Agent to run the job.

Hello,

thank you for answering, I tried your solution but no effect appears.

Actually your solution enable to execute the package in a step with a job. It seems to not fail.

The package executes through DTEXEC works fine and my destination table is filled.

When I use the same command line with a job, it works but my table is still empty. No new lines from the package !

How is it possible considering I use the same command line ?
