Package now failing, as of 10-12-2011

  • I inherited a package that was running fine, every night at 2:00, for years, then suddenly it began failing on 10-12-2011. I cannot see any difference in the package, as the same code runs fine on our UAT environment, but I can see that the SQL versions are different. In UAT, where it runs successfully, the version 9.0.3310, and the Prod server, where the package is failing in 9.0.3054.

    I cannot tell where any windows updates or SQL Server updates have been installed, at least per the event logs on the server (App and Sys).

    I have found where this is happened to some other people also, on 10-12-2011, as can be seen here: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/483175/failure-because-of-warning-about-null-aggregation

    In my case, the query is in a data flow task, on one of the data sources:

    SELECT code, MAX(message) AS Message

    FROM prior_auth_reason_codes

    WHERE (code IS NOT NULL) AND (code <> '')

    GROUP BY code

    ORDER BY code

    If I run the same query through a query window in SSMS it runs just fine. Only through SSIS does it give an error.

    Anyone else have this problem, and have you found a fix that doesn't require modifying the package?

    Thanks,

    Chris

  • The error, which comes from SQL Server, and does show in SSMS, but does not keep records from returning, is:

    Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.
