Problems running the scheduler

  • Hi Everyone,

    I seem to be having issues with running a DTS package on the scheduler. The run just keeps running after 500 hours+. I just noticed this today. I also noticed that for all packages I started getting runaway processes beginning on 11/20/02. I guess my question is why would this happen? has anyone ever encountered this? How do I begin to troubleshoot this?

    Thanks

  • In addition I just created a test package pulling data from Oracle using Microsoft for Oracle driver. Ran the package without the scheduler and the package ran for 3 minutes. I then ran the package from the scheduler, it's still running after 2 hours. I checked all rights and everything is right. What is going on?

    Thanks

  • Try saving the dts package with no schedulle, and then create an schedule job with the DTSRun cmdline utility. See if it works.

  • I found this out on Friday.

    Test my package through the scheduler. I noticed something interesting. The job ran fine through the scheduler. However the scheduler keeps running even after the job is completed. Could I have a bug on the job scheduler? Has anyone encountered this before.

    Thanks

  • FYI. I fixed the issue. Since I'm using apartment threading which is not compatible with the Oracle driver. My job scheduler continues running. Fixed this issue by going into the workflow properties of the dts and setting the following properties:

    Commit transaction on succesful completion of this step

    Rollback transaction on failure

    Execute on main package thread

    Close connection on completion

    Thanks
