DTS Job Failure

  • Hello,

    I have SQLServer7.0 on Win2K platform.

    When I'm running a manual process from one DTS package a job scheduled to run from another DTS package should fail (and it used to fail before).

    Now for some reasons it stays in 'Executing...' mode and never stops.

    This is the end of my Function Main() for the scheduled DTS package:

    *********************************************

    ELSEIF CheckSystemProcessRunning = 1 Then

    pkg_errors = 1

    MsgBox "Another Instance of 'LUPD' process running."

    END IF

    IF pkg_errors = 0 THEN

    Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

    ELSE

    Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure

    END IF

    ********************************************

    Where CheckSystemProcessRunning function is equal 1 when a manual process is running.

    I had this problem long ago with another set of packages and I used the advise which I received from SQLServerCentral forum to uncheck the 'Explicit Global Variables' check box in the 'Global Variables' tab of the package properties and it worked. But now this advise doesn't work for my new packages.

    I recreated both packages on the Server machine and run a package and a job on the same Server. Didn't help.

    But if I'm running both packages manually a scheduled package fails (as it should).

    Could anybody help me with this issue?

  • The msgbox is hanging a scheduled job. Remove it and see if that fixes it.
