By refering msdn website and other community i was able to run my packages programmatically. I am using a console .net application to run my ssis package. i have hardcorded the location package. it runs smoothly
DTSExecResult pkgResults;
Application app = new Application();
Package p = app.LoadPackage(#"C:\somelocation");
pkgResults = p.Execute();
if (pkgResults == DTSExecResult.Success)
Console.WriteLine("Package ran successfully");
else
Console.WriteLine("Package failed");
the problem i am facing is when i fails i am unable to record which ran successfully and which has failed or stopped in between.
is there anyway to log my progress programmatically in C#, should i use custom method or use their inbuild methods like DTS.LogProvider.
is there anyway i could send a email stating the it has succeeded or failed.
This might be helpful.
There is a code snippet also.

Logging is available in ssis. You can program any number of tasks to execute on a given event, including a 'send mail' task. See this article to configure logging options in ssis

For the project I am working on, I am not allowed to use ClickOnce. My boss wants the program to look "real" (with an installer, etc).
I have installed Visual Studio 2012 Professional, and have been playing around with the InstallShield installer, and it definitely makes nice installers, but I can't figure out how to enable the application to "auto-update" (that is, when it starts up, checks to make sure that it is using the latest version).
I have been asked to make a tiny change to the code - switching an addition to a subtraction, and I don't really want people to have to uninstall the old version, and then have to reinstall the new version every time I make a small change like this.
How can I make the application check for updates, and install them? Or is this not possible (or not easy)?
There are a lot of questions already about this, so I will refer you to those.
One thing you want to make sure to prevent the need for uninstallation, is that you use the same upgrade code on every release, but change the product code. These values are located in the Installshield project properties.
Some references:
Auto update .NET applications
Auto-update library for .NET?
Auto update for WinForms application
Suggest a method for auto-updating my C# program
Automatic update a Windows application
I think you should check the following project at codeplex.com
http://autoupdater.codeplex.com/
This sample application is developed in C# as a library with the project name “AutoUpdater”. The DLL “AutoUpdater” can be used in a C# Windows application(WinForm and WPF).
There are certain features about the AutoUpdater:
Easy to implement and use.
Application automatic re-run after checking update.
Update process transparent to the user.
To avoid blocking the main thread using multi-threaded download.
Ability to upgrade the system and also the auto update program.
A code that doesn't need change when used by different systems and
could be compiled in a library.
Easy for user to download the update files.
How to use?
In the program that you want to be auto updateable, you just need to call the AutoUpdate function in the Main procedure. The AutoUpdate function will check the version with the one read from a file located in a Web Site/FTP. If the program version is lower than the one read the program downloads the auto update program and launches it and the function returns True, which means that an auto update will run and the current program should be closed. The auto update program receives several parameters from the program to be updated and performs the auto update necessary and after that launches the updated system.
#region check and download new version program
bool bSuccess = false;
IAutoUpdater autoUpdater = new AutoUpdater();
try
{
autoUpdater.Update();
bSuccess = true;
}
catch (WebException exp)
{
MessageBox.Show("Can not find the specified resource");
}
catch (XmlException exp)
{
MessageBox.Show("Download the upgrade file error");
}
catch (NotSupportedException exp)
{
MessageBox.Show("Upgrade address configuration error");
}
catch (ArgumentException exp)
{
MessageBox.Show("Download the upgrade file error");
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
MessageBox.Show("An error occurred during the upgrade process");
}
finally
{
if (bSuccess == false)
{
try
{
autoUpdater.RollBack();
}
catch (Exception)
{
//Log the message to your file or database
}
}
}
#endregion
The most common way would be to put a simple text file (XML/JSON would be better) on your webserver with the last build version. The application will then download this file, check the version and start the updater. A typical file would look like this:
Application Update File (A unique string that will let your application recognize the file type)
version: 1.0.0 (Latest Assembly Version)
download: http://yourserver.com/... (A link to the download version)
redirect: http://yournewserver.com/... (I used this field in case of a change in the server address.)
This would let the client know that they need to be looking at a new address.
You can also add other important details.
A Lay men's way is
on Main() rename the executing assembly file .exe to some thing else
check date and time of created.
and the updated file date time and copy to the application folder.
//Rename he executing file
System.IO.FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
System.IO.File.Move(file.FullName, file.DirectoryName + "\\" + file.Name.Replace(file.Extension,"") + "-1" + file.Extension);
then do the logic check and copy the new file to executing folder
This is the code to update the file but not to install
This program is made through dos for copying files to the latest date and run your program automatically. may help you
open notepad and save file below with ext .bat
xcopy \\IP address\folder_share_name\*.* /s /y /d /q
start "label" /b "youraplicationname.exe"
These days you could use included in Windows 10 mechanism for app delivery called AppInstaller by packaging your app in MSIX bundle or package.
With it, you don't have to think about an installer (if your app doesn't use a lot of dependencies), background updating, and all of that. It's much better than ClickOnce, command-line usage works like a charm thanks to aliases, updates are non-obtrusive and could be used for background apps too.
The installation experience is much better too: a user just needs to click a button on HTML and Windows will install the app automatically.
It's not super-simple, I'd say more complicated than ClickOnce, but not as hard as Wix.
Official guide doesn't work with .NET Core or .NET 5 apps, so you can refer to this article, or to this great video, for example. This site also contains a lot of useful information.
I have the following code which seems to works OK for executing an SSIS package from c# BUT every time the variable "Resp" returns a Failure even if the package passes when I execute it directly in SSIS.
Again, the package contains a Script component that writes to an SQL server table. All that works OK when the package is executed directly in SSIS but nothing happens when the same package is called via C# with the code below. I cant work out what I am doing wrong. help!
string packageLocation = #"c:\packageLocationPath";
Package pkg;
Application app;
app = new Application();
pkg = app.LoadPackage(packageLocation, null);
var Resp = pkg.Execute();
Detecting error
First you have to read the errors raised by the package. There are two options to detect these errors:
(1) loop over errors
You can loop over the package errors by accessing Errors property. As example:
if(p.Errors.Count > 0){
foreach(DtsError err in p.Errors){
Messagebox.Show(err.Description);
}
}
More information at:
How to get all errors of all SSIS packages in a solution
(2) Enable logging from package
You can capture all errors, warning and information from a package by enabling logging option:
Add and configure logging
Possible failure causes
Make sure that if you are using windows authentication to connect to SQL, that the user account used to execute the application via C# is granted to make a connection.
If the package is accessing a file system, make sure that the user has the required permissions to access these files
Installing google api package with "Install-Package Google.GData.Calendar" thru nuget package console works for installation part properly but, referenses downloaded by nuget is not valid reference file for windows mobile, and creates exception error file not found when running application.
I write this code in function
var feedUrl = "http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/tr.turkish%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/full";
var service = new CalendarService("Calendar");
var qry = new EventQuery(feedUrl);
qry.StartTime = t1;
qry.EndTime = t2;
EventFeed results = service.Query(qry);
but program doesn't enter to code, directly creates exception,
Error Messages:
Google.GData.Calendar.DLL'. Module was built without symbols.
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Unknown Module.
when i search, find out that nuget package is good for desktop, and for mobile need to add google.gdata from source code.
Could you help, how to add google.gdata to WP8 project, i couldn't find the source code of the api's.
And don't know how to install it.
Thanks a lot for your help

Is it possible to log the events of ssis package execution called from c#
Application app = new Application();
Package package = app.LoadPackage("<package_path>", null);
package.ImportConfigurationFile("<configuration_path>");
DTSExecResult result = package.Execute();
I need to log the messages generated during the package execution. I am using SQL Server 2008.
Thanks in advance
the Execute method has an overload for "Log"

I have an application where whenever a file is uploaded to a directory, I have to call SSIS to parse the XML file.
Can I call a SSIS directly from a .NET Windows service?
Running SSIS package programmatically.
I prefer the second method:
Start DTEXEC.EXE process. DTEXEC is command line utility for executing SSIS packages. See its command line options here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162810.aspx
Benefits: running package out of process gains reliability. Can be used from any programming language (including .NET 1.1 :)). Easy to pass parameters by setting variables values.
Drawbacks: Also local only. Harder to get information about package progress (but SSIS logging can give you most functionality). Some overhead on starting new process (likely minimal compared to execution time for big packages).
ASP.NET specific: Win32 CreateProcess function ignores the thread impersonation. So if you want DTEXEC to run under account different from ASP.NET process account, you should either make user enter name/password and pass it to Process.Start, or use method described in the following KB to run child process under impersonated account http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889251.
you can run your SSIS package programmatically, as follow:
using System;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;
namespace ConsoleApplicationSSIS
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Loading SSIS Service...");
//Application object allows load your SSIS package
Application app = new Application();
//In order to retrieve the status (success or failure) after running SSIS Package
DTSExecResult result ;
//Specify the location of SSIS package - dtsx file
string SSISPackagePath = #"C:\Microsofts\BI\SSIS\ConsoleApplicationSSIS\IntegrationServiceScriptTask\Package.dtsx";
//Load your package
Package pckg = (Package)app.LoadPackage(SSISPackagePath,true,null);
//Execute the package and retrieve result
result = pckg.Execute();
//Print the status success or failure of your package
Console.WriteLine("{0}", result.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

I explain how create a simple SSIS package and after how to call it programmatically from a console application. Don't forget to have this assembly :C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SQLServer.DTSRuntimeWrap.dll to reference runtime ssis namespace
you can also pass your variables programmatically and change also source and destination connections of your ssis package
You can call SSIS programtically, execute the package and change the configuration from a .NET code using DTS runtime. Here is complete code of how you can do it.
You can call the SSIS package from your windows service. But Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts should be installed into the system where windows services are going to run. If you have installed DTS installed in that machine, directly call the SSIS package. If it is not installed then you should do the following.
Create the SSIS package
Create the job which runs the SSIS package
In your ADO.NET[resides in windows services code], Call stored
procedure which runs job[configured to run the SSIS package].
Following is an example should be called from your .NET code.
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job N'YourJobName'
Hope this helps!
Updating this pretty old question:
On SQL Server 2012 you can do this simply by creating stored procedure that will call to create_execution and set_execution_parameter
