I previously wrote article SQL SERVER – Import CSV File into Database Table Using SSIS. I was asked following question by reader that how to run the same SSIS package from command prompt. In response to the same I have written article SQL SERVER – Running SSIS Package From Command Line. Within few minutes of the blog post, I received email from another blog reader asking if this can be scheduled in SQL Server Agent Job.
Absolutely, SSIS package can be scheduled in SQL Agent Jobs. Here is quick note on how one can do the same.
First you can create new job from SQL Server Agent Menu.
Create New Step.
Select Type as SQL Server Integration Services Packages. Select Package Source as file system and give package path.
Now click on OK, which will bring you at following screen.
On next screen you can select schedule and configure desired schedule.
You can notice this is very easy process. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello Pinal:
I didn’t find either my question or answers in this thread, so here it goes:
Would it be possible create a job to send a .csv file (and I’ve done this first part several times) in a zip file and password protected.
Thanks
Hi,
My env is like, i am retrieving files from SFTP location(csv files) & mapping is done from my end.I execute it from my system works fine. Now if i want to deploy pkg on Sql server box for scheduling through Sql server Job agent, do those files also need to reside on sql server ?or just giving access to filepath mentioned in flat source conn manager to userid which runs job agent will suffice?

Chaitanya
Hi Chaitanya,
Have you created a variable for holding the path of SFTP files…? My suggestion would be to crate a variable for this and use it in your configuration file.
Now no matter where your files are SSIS will automatically pick the path from variable through Config file and SQL Server agent Job will execute the SSIS.
Hi Deepak,
Our AI team does this job for me(downloading files from SFTP to shared location). I havent taken any variable to hold path nor prepared config file. Just mentioned path in flat file conn manager. Will this siffice requirement? What all access related things i should consider?
Hi Chaitanya,
Yes to store the values in connection manager will also work and I believe it will suffice requirement.
But again I will suggest to use config file rather then to hard-code values in SSIS itself. This will help you in future to change SFTP location easily without deploy SSIS package.
Hi,
Can we directly read a csv file from SFTP location without downloading to local system from SSIS? I can use FTP task component but it will download files from FTP location. My requirement is to read files from SFTP location without downloadinng them elsewhere due to confidentiality/misuse of data.
Regards,
Chaitanya
Anybody got this scenario before?
Hi Chaitanya,
While working with files on SFTP you would have to download them. For the sake of confidentiality/misuse of data you can tell to your state side partners to provide files encrypted mode (eg. pgp encryption) and once you download the files to your local server decrypt them and after process delete the files.
Hi , Sorry to bother you again. I am facing issue with data. I have 3 columns in csv file. Its text qualifier is “. column delimeter is comma(,). Now i have some extra comma in data like “column1”,”column2, “,”column3” . When i load data with these setting column 2 doesnt get loaded properly. Any setting i am missing here?
Regards,
Chaitanya
Hi Chataniya,
The data “column1″,”column2,”,”column3″ will store in database like
Column1 Column2, Column3
That means SSIS will store “Column2,” (Comma in last) instead of “Column2”. I believe there is no direct way to handle this only in Flat File connection Manager.
You need to use Derived Column Transformation and use Replace or Substring function in expression to remove extra comma (,) after Column2, to make it Column2.
Hi Deepak,
Thanks for reply. What happens now is column1 is stored properly. In column2 first part value i.e before comma value is stored and next part is stored in 3rd column thus each value pushing one column fwd. Is there any ways?
hi’
i am using sql management studio 2008 R2, i have created ssis package. while running manually, data export into text file in a specified path. wheres when i am schduling a job it is giving error as “unable to open step output file. The step failed”. Please any one suggest to rectify the error
Thanks in advance
saravanan
Hi Saravanan,
There may be one of the below reason of this error:
1. The file you are using for export is either open or used by someone else or
2. SQL Server Agent account do not have sufficient privileges to export the data.
for the resolution of this problem you may try:
1. Try to change path of export file (eg. change it to C: drive to D: drive)
2. Use Proxy account for SQL Server agent.
Hi ,
I have used data flowtask inside Foreach file enumerator. & due to deployement i have enabled config file. So do i need to change connection string of foreach container as well as conn string of source file components? or just changing conn string of foreach comp is fine? i need to migrate to QAfrom Dev.
Thanks..
Hi,
I am really new in SSIS and I want some help.
I want to display some data from a table every first day of month (not previous) and every first day of year.
Is there any way to do this?
I cannot find SQL server Agent menu!!
Please help!
Thanks!!!
HI Tina,
I am not clear @ requirement. U want to load data on every first day of month? Can u specify more clearly what ur doing & where ur stuck?
firstly thanks for responding..
I have some data stored in a db and they change every day.
I want to be able to see all the changes from the day i add the data but only in FIRST DAY OF EVERY MONTH.
for example i add data at 2/3/2013 then i make changes at 4/3/2013, then i make changes again at 7/3/20133, then i make changes again at 8/3/20133 and so on …….
so i want to see at 1/4/2013 (or 1/5/2013 or 1/6/2013) all the previous changes.
I hope its better.
In any case thanks a lot!!!!
Hi,
I have developed pkg using ssis 2008. I have used config file. At last step i have used file sys task to move files from one loc to another. But pkf fails at that step. saying you do not have access to path.
I have verified that user name can create folder in destination path so i have right. what could be the checklist?

Chaitanya

Hi Pinal,
I am working on an SSIS Package and m a fresher to it. My requirement is i have to send email to a group of people when the package throws error or it succeds.. The email subject should have teh package executed date and time. M using the send email task at the end of Execcute SQL task and sends an email when it succeds and when it get fails.. M receiving the email. But my problem is that i have to show the Current package executed date and time in format in email subject. Also to show the error description in email body if the jobs get failed. Request you to please suggest some way. I tried the date and time thing using the user variable but dint succed in showing the date.
I have a question. I have an ssis package that I am trying to schedule. I have never worked with SSIS before – this is my first time. Each task is a stored proc and I have a rolling 12 month date range for the parameters. Until now I have just opened the package and changed the date for the parameters. If I schedule this package to run monthly – whats the best way to do the stored proc parameters? Should I edit each stored procs date range parameter to run the 12 months using getdate () or is there a better solution?
I pinal I have a question,
I have one SP, which calls through one of my job.
I want the logic which gives me whether SP executed through job or Executed manually.
I have searched a lot in Sysjobs, sysJobistory, sysjobActivity.
please help me to get out of this problem.
How do we schedule a job to run on a quarterly basis?
I tried scheduling the job to run on the first weekday of every 3 months once and when i create the job on the Jan 1st of a year. It all works fine. But when i create the same job in any other months, it runs the job the next month from the date in which it has been created. Looks like it is not considering the start date which is given as Jan 1st. Can you please help me sort out this issue?
Hi,
Does this SQL Server Agent requires additional privileges apart from having a simple database user account? This is my first SSIS project to take up.
Thanks and Regards,

How to schedule SSIS package on every 10th working day of month
HI,
We have developed ssis package that downloads files in xml format from ftp and than process and insert in respective tables. We have a requirement to insert only unique and recent most records so we used lookup to perform the comparison. We are encountering a problem that it is too mush slow while scheduled via SQL Agent job, and works okay if we run it manually.
Thanks
You can capture profiler and find which exact statement is slow.
Hi Pinal, i have built 3 SSIS packages for 3 different files.those packages are scheduled for 3 runs like D,E and F. for each run these 3 packages will be running.logic of these packages are , this will search for the files in a shared folder ,if the file is there, it will go to next level to process the files if not found then it will throw an email alert.
Now there might be some delay some times at source end to place the files in shared folder how ever our packages should immediately trigger soon it find the files. after D,E and F the package should not any more’
How can we achieve this, i m not getting how to schedule the job so that it will cover the above the scenario
initially i had scheduled it every 15 mins but after F( final run) also the package used to run and throw an email for every 15 mins which was not a good way
Please help me out

Hello. Is it possible to make the same scheduled job with deployment of OLAP cube and reporting services SSRS? …Because if I run a task to process my SSIS package I also need to deploy again the cube and the reports to update the new data…Thanks.
