How to Run SSIS Package Using Task Scheduler and Batch File

Question

I have a windows batch file that looks like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe" /FILE
 C:\SSIS\CARS\CARS\PCarsCallMonthlyCount.dtsx /DECRYPT pswrd /CHECKPOINTING OFF

When I run code from the command prompt the SSIS package runs with no errors. I then created a scheduled task to run and call the same batch file. The task runs but does not error out or end.

So I then open the batch file from the command prompt and I get this error "Missing argument for option "file". The execute Package Utility application then starts and waits for some input.

So I assume I am missing something in the command and that is why the task does not complete. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

If the command line is exactly how you have it in the batch file, you need to make it all on one line. It is not getting the second part of /FILE which is your .dtsx file.
