Question : SSIS Package Hangs in SQL Job

Hi guys -

I've been struggling with this one for a bit and hopefully  you can help out. I have a bunch of SSIS (2k8) packages that I made. Testing them out on 2 different machines they run just fine in BIDS. They are file store packages.

Well when I make a job for them and run them there (using an operating system step type as opposed to a Integration Services step type so i could just call the packages directly and copy/paste in the parameter line (instead of continually failing to set up the parameters correctly with the job builder tool).

Anyway - they're operating system commands like this
"D:\SQL_2008\100\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe" /FILE "D:\Packages\.....

But the problem is that some fly through the packages faster than they do in BIDS (expected)...but others just hang and my task never finishes. I have a bunch of master packages calling child packages (about 50 masters and about 15-20 children per master). MaxExecutables = 1 on the master. Profiler is sitting idle from what I can tell.

Any thoughts/ideas I can try?

Thanks :)

Check the package logs and see what step they are hanging on.
