I need to extract a table data in SQL server into a file and store it at a place on Windows drive. But when I run the below command,
master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp .. out -U -P '
I get the following error message:
CTLIB Message: - L6/O8/S5/N3/5/0: ct_connect(): directory service layer: internal directory control layer error: Requested server name not found. Establishing connection failed.
Can anyone help in understanding this and provide a solution? Thanks! :)

master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp ..out -U -P '
i guess you need to read up on the syntax. If that is your real command, you are not specifying any of the required values; here's a working example:
declare @sql varchar(4000), @rowcount int --sample query: you would do the same to your existing bcp set @sql = 'bcp "SELECT TOP 5 * FROM SYSOBJECTS" queryout "c:\body.txt" -c -U"sa" -P"NotARealPassword"' --export via bcp insert into #results EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql

Thanks Lowell! I did try the code sent by you but I'm still getting the same error message as before -
CTLIB Message: - L6/O8/S5/N3/5/0: ct_connect(): directory service layer: internal directory control layer error: Requested server name not found. Establishing connection failed.
Can you interpret the message and advice? ;)

| If you have a sybase client installed on that server, check your path variable. This sounds to me like sybase error. If you need more information, please let me know.

Hi, I'm having the same problem and Ive sybase client installed, so what path variables you're talking about here and how to change it?
Thanks

huslayer (6/1/2011) Hi, I'm having the same problem and Ive sybase client installed, so what path variables you're talking about here and how to change it?
Thanks the %PATH% allows you to do things like just type "notepad.exe" in the run command and let the operating system resolve the actual path to the executable for you behind the scenes.... but if you have the same executable in two or more folders that exist in the path, you are not guaranteed to call the one you were thinking about...it's just the first one the OS finds.
if you go to a command window and type echo %PATH%
you might see a path to a sybase folder as well as to SQL server..so which bcp is it going to decide to use?
So to fix that you might need to explicitly put the entire path to the SQL server bcp, ie like this:
declare @sql varchar(4000), @rowcount int --sample query: you would do the same to your existing bcp
--due to %path% issues, identify the full path to bcp set @sql = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\bcp.exe "SELECT TOP 5 * FROM SYSOBJECTS" queryout "c:\body.txt" -c -U"sa" -P"NotARealPassword"' --export via bcp insert into #results EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql
