Hello. This is my first time asking a question here. I hope I give enough detail to explain the problem.
I have a DTEXEC command that is built on the fly by a stored proc. Here it is:
dtexec /F \\lislefs1\filearchives\HSBSSouth\Datawarehouse\SSIS\SSIS_HLX_Extract\SSIS_HLX_Extract.dtsx /CONFIGFILE c:\users\mebert\default.dtsconfig /SET "\package.Variables[User::Source].Properties[Value]";"\"SELECT top 9 line_text line_text FROM ##HLXElg_extract154""
When I paste this command into a DOS command window and run it, it runs perfectly. When I try to run it from a query window, it fails with this error:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '/'.
Msg 1038, Level 15, State 3, Line 1
Cannot use empty object or column names. Use a single space if necessary.
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ''.
This happens when I run the dtexec directly from a query window and also when I run it from xp_cmdshell.
I thought about putting the SSIS package into a SQL Server Agent job and calling the job instead. I'm pretty sure that would work, but I can't allow the proc to continue processing until the package finishes.
Please let me know if you need any more info. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike
What version of SQL Server are you using?
What I would do in this situation is actually look at the string being passed to the cmdshell by adding a select after you have created the DTEXEC command to show the exact string you are asking SQL to execute. I don't think you are passing the command in the following format
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'DTEXEC Command'.
First eliminate the syntax as a problem, then we can begin to work on the rest of the possible issues.
