No error description after job failure

  • Hi,

    I am having a scheduled job running DTS packages on my production environment.

    My production server server is having Window 2003 Sp2 installed on it.

    Before rebuilding the server I was getting more details error messages in case job failed

    the error description is having more detailed error message.

    for example:

    Step 'DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_197' failed

    Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package

    Step Error Description:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (80004005): Connection failure.

    Step Error code: 8004043B

    Step Error Help File:sqldts80.hlp

    Step Error Help Context ID:1100

    Now I am getting error message like below:

    Step 'DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_17' failed

    Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package

    Step Error Description:The task reported failure on execution. ( (80004005): )

    Step Error code: 8004043B

    Step Error Help File:sqldts80.hlp

    Step Error Help Context ID:1100

    The same error message is there in Job History and DTS log.The error codes I am getting in the error messages are the generic ones which can

    contain several errors.

    I have checked everything and could not figure out any differences in the configuration before and after building the server.

    Please can someone help me to find the out the reason why now I am not getting the detailed error description

    and how to rectify this as without the actual errors it wil be difficult to investigate the reason for failure and

    to convince the client.

  • Any help appreciated...

    We are facing same issue with DTS package.... the package runs fine manually but fails when scheduled through job giving the below mentioned error:

    "

    DTSRun: Loading...

    DTSRun: Executing... DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_3

    DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_3 DTSRun OnStart:

    Have tried all options ... redeploying pkg,proxy settings, new job creations... noting helped....

  • I have seen this error in the past. I have had jobs run for years without any issue then all of sudden it stopped working. Unfortunately I cannot find the Microsoft KB reference about it but, if you are running the DTS package under the SA in your job change it to the NT account that is running your services and ensure that the NT account has access to the folder where the data is stored. For a SHORT TERM fix (and I do not recommend it) you can also change the owner of the job to your own NT account or any other NT account that has access to the folder and has the correct level of Privileges to run the job.

    Hope this helps, if not let me know.
