works in BIDS, works in SQL Agent, does not work in DtexecUI?

  • I have 2 packages.

    A master package calls a sub-package.

    When I fire the master package from BIDS, everything works.

    When I fire the master package from within a SQL Server Agent job, everything works.

    But when I double click on my master package and try to execute it, it fails when trying to call the sub-package with an error message like

    Package migration from version 2 to version 3 failed with error 0x80004003 "Invalid pointer".

    My package is 2005 but my development machine has 2005, 2008 and 2008R2 installed.

    This is not really life threatening but I'd like to understand if possible because it could be useful to use DtexecUI from time to time.

    Thanks

    Eric

  • Are you sure you are using the DTEXECUI of the correct version?

    Maybe it calls the DTEXEC from a different version, hence the failure.

  • Indeed... If I choose the executable directly rather than double clicking on the package, it works fine.

    Once again, thanks a bunch! :w00t:
