SSIS: Execute Package via Stored Procedure
Posted by Ralf under IT, SQL Server

There are two options executing SSIS packages:
- xp_cmdshell command (not recommended for security reasons)
- sp_start_job command
The main difference between both options is the execution method. The xp_cmdshell command is a synchronous call and the sp_start_job command is an asynchronous call.
xp_cmdshell command (synchronous)
- enable xp_cmdshell mode in Surface Area Configuration Tool for SQL Server
- use following procedure to execute SSIS package:
DECLARE @returncode int
EXEC @returncode = xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "PackageNameWithFullPath.dtsx"'
sp_start_job (asynchronous)
- define job in SQL Server Agent with SSIS execution step
- use following procedure to start SQL Server Agent job with SSIS execution step:
[msdb].dbo.sp_start_job @job_name='JobName'
- check execution status of job, since the call is asynchronous:
SELECT
[server],
[start_execution_date],
[stop_execution_date],
[run_date],
[run_duration],
[run_status],
[message]
FROM
MSDB.DBO.SYSJOBS Z
INNER JOIN
MSDB.DBO.SYSJOBACTIVITY A
ON Z.JOB_ID = A.JOB_ID
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
MAX(SESSION_ID) AS SESSION_ID
FROM
MSDB.DBO.SYSSESSIONS
) AS B
ON A.SESSION_ID = B.SESSION_ID
LEFT JOIN
MSDB.DBO.SYSJOBHISTORY C
ON A.JOB_HISTORY_ID = C.INSTANCE_ID
WHERE
Z.NAME = 'JobName'
There is following way to make the call of sp_start_job synchronous.
sp_start_job (synchronous)
- define job in SQL Server Agent with SSIS execution step
- use following procedure to start SQL Server Agent job with SSIS execution step:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[AGENT_JOB_CHECK2]
