Execute Individual Tasks Without Debugging ?

  • I'm building a SSIS package with various steps to import CSV files, upload to temp tables, update, copy to other tables etc.

    I want to step through the package and execute 1 task at a time and verify it worked correctly. I can execute the task, but it seems to put it into debug mode and I have to stop debugging after each task runs before I can execute the next task.

    I don't care about debugging. Can I stop debugging from getting started so I can just run each task manually, check results, run the next task etc ... ?

  • You can right-click on a task and select 'Execute Task' - is that what you're after?

  • That is what I do. Then it goes yellow as it runs, and I hope green when it completes. But I cannot right click/execute the next task without first going up to the debug menu option and selecting "stop debugging", even though I never (intentionally) started debugging.

    Is there a debug default option I can turn off ?

    Ah, OK - I see your point.

    I think that you are tacitly assumed to be 'debugging' just because you are running the package interactively from VS - as far as I know, there is no way of turning that off. Would be a useful setting though.

  • I am not sure how much this will help but individual task can be run from a package. You have to use Expression between tasks. A look in this article might help you but this is a slightly different approach.

  • If I have 10 tasks in my package, can I select & run the first 6 all together ?

    Then I can check output before running the next 4.

  • Yes, there is two way.

    1. You can Disable the last 4 task and running the package to see the output of first 6 task.

    2. If you want to run the package through web/windows program you have to customized the first 6 task expression in a way that they runs first.
