How to verrify the source server is up before extracting data.

  • Hello guys.

    Wondering is there any option or componenet in SSIS through which i can check the source server availibilty before extracting the data.

    We have a scenario in which we have to pull data from datawarehouse and not necessary datawarehouse is up 24/7, so is there any way to check the availibility of server so that SSIS package do not fail

    Thanks

  • You could do an Execute SQL Task that has a simple query and if it fails set the On Failure Precedence to go to a task that possibly logs the fact that the Source was not available at that time. On success you could execute the rest of your package.

  • Thanks Jack for ur reply, ya i m doing the same approach so far, by getting true or false by simple select statemnet and on failure i m sending a mail that dataware house is not up, i thought there might be a better way around is SSIS.

    Thanks
