Retrieving errors in DTS steps
-
Hi,
I need to retrieve the exact error message against each step in a DTS Package. I am executing the package from a T-SQL Stored Procedure using the techinque you have described.
This is the code snippet I need help with:
SET @pbstrSource_ = ''
SET @pbstrDescription_ = ''
SET @pbstrHelpFile_ = ''
SET @pbstrIDofInterfaceWithError_ = ''
SET @pErrorCode_ = 0
SET @pHelpContext_ = 0
EXEC sp_OAMethod @Step, 'GetExecutionErrorInfo', NULL,
@pErrorCode_ OUT,
@pbstrSource_ OUT,
@pbstrDescription_ OUT,
@pbstrHelpFile_ OUT,
@pHelpContext_ OUT,
@pbstrIDofInterfaceWithError_ OUT
None of the parameters (@pErrorCode_, etc) return any value. In fact, when I set the @pErrorCode_ variable to 4 before the call to sp_OAMethod, and later printed its value, it had changed to 0.
This method is the only way to get detailed error messages on DTS package steps, yet I can't seem to use it from T-SQL. I did confirm that the method returns detailed error messages when called from a Visual Basic module, but I can't seem to get anything out of it in T-SQL. The downside of using VB is that then the wrapper module/object used to handle package execution needs, EITHER, to be invoked remotely on a machine that has Oracle client tools (since the package exports some data from a SQL Server database to some Oracle tables), OR, the Oracle client tools need to be installed on each client that needs to execute the package.
Regards,
Affan

Never had any success with GetExecutionErrorInfo. Ended up building my own script to extract the info from the DTS logging tables. You can have a look at my script here,

OH MY! I'm probably a bit late here, but I just came across this on my own today. This was for a package, but I think it applies for the step as well.(?) I believe the secret to what you're trying to do is to use the sp_OAGetErrorInfo sproc.
Here's what I came up with: (the refernced SP is listed below)
...
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, @Cmd, NULL
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** Method failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
...
(these SPs can be found in a variety of places. below is my tweaked version that seems to work right
):/****** Object: Stored Procedure dbo.sp_hexadecimal ******/
if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[sp_hexadecimal]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1)
drop procedure [dbo].[sp_hexadecimal]
GO
/****** Object: Stored Procedure dbo.sp_displayoaerrorinfo ******/
if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[sp_displayoaerrorinfo]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1)
drop procedure [dbo].[sp_displayoaerrorinfo]
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
/****** Object: Stored Procedure dbo.sp_hexadecimal ******/

DECLARE @i int
DECLARE @length int
DECLARE @hexstring char(16)
SELECT @charvalue = '0x'
SELECT @i = 1
SELECT @length = DATALENGTH(@binvalue)
SELECT @hexstring = '0123456789abcdef'
WHILE (@i <= @length)
BEGIN
DECLARE @tempint int
DECLARE @firstint int
DECLARE @secondint int
SELECT @tempint = CONVERT(int, SUBSTRING(@binvalue,@i,1))
SELECT @firstint = FLOOR(@tempint/16)
SELECT @secondint = @tempint - (@firstint*16)
SELECT @charvalue = @charvalue +
SUBSTRING(@hexstring, @firstint+1, 1) +
SUBSTRING(@hexstring, @secondint+1, 1)
SELECT @i = @i + 1
END
SELECT @hexvalue = @charvalue

/*

RETURN
