Question : Cant Get SSIS to Import Excel Text Column

Hi All,

I am trying to get an SSIS package to work without success. Ther package was originally created on a different server and all  I have done is simply copy the dtsx file from the original live server to a test server.

Here's the call:

1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:
10:
11:
12:
13:
14:

DECLARE @rc int

EXEC sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account 'domain/account', 'pw'
EXEC @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell  'dtexec /f "E:\SSIS\ProductCore7.dtsx"'
print @rc
IF @rc <> 0
BEGIN
  PRINT 'failed'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
  Print 'worked'
END


When I run it I get this...

However, If I run an identical package created on the test server it works perfectly?!

Now ya may wonder why is this a problem? Well, this is just the first package call. There are several others (bringing in data from several spreadsheets) and I would like them to be common to the main server (test to live and visa versa).

I would just like to understand the problem.

The column excel spreadsheet has been set to text and the sql table column is set to nvarchar(MAX)

The two servers have exactly the same SQL databases with the same permissions and dbo schemas (as far as I know)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

pma111,

Give these two distros a try. Backtrack and PHLAK both work well and were designed to do exactly what you are trying to do.
