Job Failure

  • Hello!

    I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. I have created some Maintenance plans that run daily for all databases. One of the jobs failed with the following error message:

    --Begin Message------

    Description: The attempt to add a row to the Data Flow task buffer failed with error code 0xC0047020. End Error Error: 2014-01-06 04:45:01.27 Code: 0xC0047038

    Source: Data Flow Task * SSIS.Pipeline Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (6429) returned error code 0xC02020C4. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 4:30:06 AM Finished: 4:45:27 AM Elapsed: 920.702 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.

    --End Message---------------

    Please help!

    Thanks!

  • The best thing to do is enable full logging in the maintenance plan task and then read that output log. It will have more information than the job itself.

    Go into the maintenance plan and there's a "reporting and logging" icon near the top. Check that for settings and then use that log for troubleshooting.

  • I admit that it's been a long time since I've worked with the maintenance plan wizard, but when I did work with it, I found out that most times it is faster to recreate a job then figuring out why it stopped working.

  • Maintenance plans store the history in a different location - to view that history you need to right-click on the maintenance plan and select view history. Viewing the agent job history will not give you any information related to the task(s) that failed.

    Changing the reporting level and logging additional information also won't help.

    Again, check the maintenance plan history instead of the agent job history for details on the task(s) that failed.
