Hello, taken over where a contractor left off. He created a series of multi-step processes broken down to jobs that run packages in a certain order. This process runs once
a year, makes changes to changed static dim over the year, and then loads new static dims, reloads dyn dims, geography data, and then after clearing out data from cubes (other stepped processes), and readying a back-loading a several years of data, it all
gets reprocessed into the cube new for 2017 year. This is a Tabular data model, and it's using partitions tables. Server Windows 2012R2, SQL Server 2016.
The issue now is a job that has three packages in it, first package ran fine backing up, truncing and loading in new dim values, ran fine, Then it rolled to the second package in the Solution where it failed. Below the screenshots I have more details.
From The error messages here is a screen shot of that error:
![]()
Here is a screenshot of the entire package in question, as to the basics of design:
![]()
Based on the error message, the first Execute SQL Task in the Container is failing, executing this: SELECT [PartitionName] FROM [BLAH_Partitions].[dbo].[SSASPartitionDimsStatic]
WHERE DatabaseID = ?
Seems that it's not getting what is was expecting from one Execute SQL Task outside the container feeding the Sequence Container. In it is: Select 'DataBaseID' <-- real database name
And it is as if its populated with NULL, based on the above screenshot error.
If I try to step though running the package in VS, It immediately errors on that first outside the loop Execute SQL task, here is that screenshot:
![]()
I'm unsure on where or how to edit or what to change to rectify this error and to satisfy getting the correct value.
Please let me know what other details I can track down and share in helping resolve this issue.
Thank you,
JQ
