DTS Failing

  • I’m a bit lost with this one.

    I have a job that is fired off by a trigger.

    The job fails every morning now and I can not seem to be able to find out why.

    The job history shows:

    The job failed. The Job was invoked by User MYDOMAIN\USER. The last step to run was step 1 (dts name).

    The job steps shows:

    Executed as user: MYDOMAIN\USER. ...DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_10 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_10 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_11 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_11 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_12 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_12 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_13 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_13 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_3 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_3 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_2 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_2 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_8 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_8 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_4 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_4 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_14 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQL... Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

    I then go to the DTS package and view the package logs. All of the steps are reported as successful for the same time as when the Job started it.

    I then go to view the package logs of the second step in the Job. It never ran.

    I manually execute the entire package and it is successful. I manually execute DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_14 and it’s also successful.

    I have made sure that the job and DTS are executing on the same server.

    Huh?

    -----

    I have added an output file to the job step and the following error is returned.

    DTSRun OnError: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_6, Error = -2147221499 (80040005)

  • Greetings,

    I have managed to resolve this. An EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error led me to believe that this is a memory problem.

    It occurs when a pointer is dereferenced and the pointer points to inaccessible memory or a write operation is attempted on read-only memory.

    A good old fashioned bounce helped.

    If it aint broke don't fix it!

  • EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION usually means corruption in either the OS or the App. if you reboot yourcomputer and it happens again on the SAME place you may file a BUG with MS if it is random then Hardware may be the strating point

  • Hi,

    Yes I agree. Its definitely the OS. This DTS run for a year and a half on another machine. Its been ok for 6 months on this server. Any ideas of how I could pin point the problem?

    If it aint broke don't fix it!
