SQL Jobs taking double the time to complete

  • Folks,

    Over the past couple of days, one our ETL job that loads data to our ODS database has been running slow. All of a sudden the execution time has doubled from 2 and half hours to 5 and half hours.

    The ETL Job has 40 different steps and each of them call a SSIS Package. It used to complete within 2 and half hours until 2 days back. The volume of data that is getting loaded has not changed drastically, we are re-building the indexes daily. What could be going wrong here?

    Any ideas or pointers towards troubleshooting?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Did you notice if one of the tasks is taking long time and all tasks are taking long time in Package.

    Second, make sure that index-rebuilding is not running at the time when you are doing any big transactions on sql server. Index Rebuilding is performance intensive task.

    I guess these the basic points you need to start with.

  • Thanks, but there is no re-index job occuring at the time job is running. By the way our ETL job ran quicker today in just 3 hours. There was some kind of Disk IO latency on those 2 days, as per our Infrastructure team and the Data center team.
