Package which contains executables in SSIS is not running in SQL Server Agent

  • Hi All,

    I have an SSIS Packages which call .exe from operating system. It is running when i execute package from SSIS.

    But, When I prepare a SQL Server Agent which calls the SSIS package, it is hanging. I see my executable in the task manager with no owner. But it never ends.

    What would be the problem. Do you have security config suggestions? Or another suggestions may be?

    It's likely to be a permissions problem. Does the SQL Agent user have the necessary rights?

  • Thanks Phil Parkin,

    I find the problem, My executable is generating an output file. Where you run executable, it generates output file there. So i need SQL Server Agent Working Directory to delegate the service account?

    Help, please.

    Make the SQL Agent service account a Windows domain service account and grant the necessary permissions to that account.
