SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) - Executing SSIS package from Stored Procedure

Introduction

In this article we are going to see how to execute a SSIS package inside a stored procedure. To follow my series of articles on SSIS packages refer to my profile for the links.

Steps:

In this article since we are going to see how to execute the SSIS package using a stored procedure. We need to carry out some basic configuration. Go to SQL Server Surface area Configuration and select the Surface Area Configuration for features as shown in the images below.

Now to go xp_cmdshell tab and select the checkbox Enable xp_cmdshell.

Here we have enabled this in order to execute our SSIS Package using this procedure. We will use one of our packages that we have created as a sample in our existing articles. Now we are going to create a stored procedure to execute the package with passing some input variables to be used in the connection string as follows:

CREATE PROCEDURE USP_ExecuteSSIS  
    @strLocation VARCHAR(500),  
    @strServer VARCHAR(500),
    @strDbName VARCHAR(500),
    @EmailAddress VARCHAR(500)
AS

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE
@Cmd VARCHAR(4000),
@ReturnCode INT,
@Msg VARCHAR(1000)

SELECT @EmailAddress = QUOTENAME(@EmailAddress,'"')
SELECT @strServer = QUOTENAME(@@servername,'"')
SELECT @Cmd = 'DTexec /FILE "' + @strLocation + 'MyProject.dtsx" 
/MAXCONCURRENT 1 /CHECKPOINTING OFF  /REPORTING EW'
    + ' /SET \Package.Variables[User::varSourceSQLServer].Properties[Value];' + @strServer
    + ' /SET \Package.Variables[User::varErrorNotifyEmail].Properties[Value];' + @EmailAddress

EXEC @ReturnCode = xp_cmdshell @Cmd

IF @ReturnCode <> 0
BEGIN
   SELECT @Msg = 'SSIS package execution failed - ' + @strLocation 
+ 'INstance Name: ' + @strServer + '.' + @strDbName
   EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @recipients = @EmailAddress , 
@body = @Msg, @subject = 'SSIS Execution Failure'
END

RETURN @ReturnCode
GO

We can then call the stored procedure as follows:

EXEC USP_ExecuteSSIS 'C:\Packages\', 'KARTHIK-PC/Karthik', 'MyProject' '[email protected]';

Thanks !
