I am using SSIS 2012.
i want to execute a exe file with two variable parameters
Executable: C:tempMyExe.exe
Parameter1: ABCD ---------- type is string
Parameter2: 1234 ---------- type is string
In dos it looks like this
c:temp>MyExe.exe 'ABCD' '1234'
This will executes fine.
Now I do not know what to place here when I want to use the Execute Process Task in SSIS.

Problem
SQL Server 2012 introduced the new project deployment model for Integration Services. On the server side, this manifests in the SSIS catalog, the central point for managing SSIS projects, environments and parameters. But how can we assign permissions for various tasks to different users inside the catalog? How do we protect execution info of sensitive packages? This tip will guide you through the process of setting up security for the SSIS 2012 catalog.
Solution
An introduction to the project deployment model is out of scope for this tip. For those interested in more information, I gladly refer you to this excellent tip: SSIS Package Deployment Model in SQL Server 2012 (Part 1 of 2).
The solution presented in this tip is valid from SQL Server 2012 till the latest version, when using the project deployment model.
SSIS Database Role
If people want to access the catalog, they need to be added to the SSISDB database. The first step in setting up security is assigning the correct groups/users to database roles. There is only one database role however: ssis_admin. Users belonging to this role can do pretty much anything in the catalog, except dropping it. There is not much documentation about this role, but you can check the securables of this role in the properties window:
Obviously, sysadmins have also full privileges in the catalog. If you want to give users less permissions, you add them to the SSISDB database, but you don't assign them to any role (implicitly they are added to the public role). As with all database security, it is advised to work with groups and not with individual users. For demonstration purposes though, I will work with one single user in the examples. In the following screenshot, I added a database user with the name Koen to the SSISDB:
This user can now log into the SSISDB database, but he cannot see the internal tables. He can see all of the catalog views, but they won't return any data (more on that later).
SSIS Permissions
If we want to give users appropriate permissions (without just adding them to the ssis_admin role), we'll need to assign them to the correct securables. The catalog has three securable objects: projects, environments and packages. Let's illustrate with an example:
In the catalog, two folders are created: FolderA and FolderB. Each folder contains a different project.
Using Management Studio, we can easily assign permissions to the user created earlier. Let's give the user Koen read permissions to folder A. Don't forget to assign the permission Read Object, otherwise the project inside the folder will not be accessible.
When this user now opens the catalog, he can only see FolderA, but FolderB is hidden. The user can see the project and the packages, but he cannot modify or execute them. Windows 98 product key generator.
An important permission is Manage Object Permission. With this permission you can delegate the administration of permissions to other users without adding them to the ssis_admin role. For more information about the different permissions, see the table in the Remarks section of this MSDN page.
Important note: the catalog security doesn't work well with SQL Server users. Try to use domain accounts/groups as much as possible. Using SQL Server authentication results in the following error message: An exception occurred while executing stored procedure 'some internal stored procedure'. The error message is: 'The operation cannot be started by an account that uses SQL Server Authentication. Start the operation with an account that uses Windows Authentication.'
A great feature of the catalog security is that the available catalog views in the SSISDB are filtered according to the permissions given to the user. For example, if the user Koen checks the view catalog.executions, he can only see information about FolderA, for which he has permissions.
However, if a sysadmins or a user belonging to the role ssis_admin queries the same view, he retrieves all of the data.
As you can see, there were multiple executions in FolderA, but the user can only see his own executions. This can become problematic if someone who is not an admin wants to follow-up the executions of the SSIS packages, as described in this Connect item. A work around could be to develop your own reporting framework on top of the SSIS catalog.
Remark: there was an issue with Windows Groups and the catalog security, but a fix has been released with SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU7.
T-SQL galore
One of the nicest features of the SSIS catalog is that you can do virtually everything that is possible through Management Studio with T-SQL scripts. This is also true for managing security of course. The most important stored procedure is probably catalog.grant_permission, which allows you to grant permissions to a securable object to users.
Conclusion
Security for the SSIS catalog is very intuitive and elegant to set-up. You can assign permissions on different objects to users and groups, but it works best with Windows Authentication. The catalog views are automatically filtered according to the permissions granted, but since users can only see their own executions reporting is not that straight forward. This might for example give issues in a production environment, where all the packages are executed with a single dedicated domain account.
Next Steps
- For an introduction to the SSIS project deployment model, please refer to the following tip: SSIS Package Deployment Model in SQL Server 2012 (Part 1 of 2).
- Try it out yourself! Create some dummy users in your environment, give them different permissions the catalog and see what effect it has on the various catalog views.
- The MSDN article SSIS Catalog gives a good overview. It has a section on security and it contains a lot of links to different stored procedures you can use to automate your environment.

The Execute Process task runs an application or batch file as part of a SQL Server Integration Services package workflow. Although you can use the Execute Process task to open any standard application, such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word, you typically use it to run business applications or batch files that work against a data source. For example, you can use the Execute Process task to expand a compressed text file. Then the package can use the text file as a data source for the data flow in the package. As another example, you can use the Execute Process task to run a custom Visual Basic application that generates a daily sales report. Then you can attach the report to a Send Mail task and forward the report to a distribution list.
Integration Services includes other tasks that perform workflow operations such as executing packages. For more information, see Execute Package Task
Custom Log Entries Available on the Execute Process Task
The following table lists the custom log entries for the Execute Process task. For more information, see Integration Services (SSIS) Logging.
Log entry | Description |
---|---|
ExecuteProcessExecutingProcess | Provides information about the process that the task is configured to run. Two log entries are written. One contains information about the name and location of the executable that the task runs, and the other entry records the exit from the executable. |
ExecuteProcessVariableRouting | Provides information about which variables are routed to the input and outputs of the executable. Log entries are written for stdin (the input), stdout (the output), and stderr (the error output). |
Configuration of the Execute Process Task
Run With Administrator Execute Process Task In Ssis 2008 R2 Example
You can set properties through SSIS Designer or programmatically.
For more information about how to set these properties in SSIS Designer, click the following topic:
Property Settings
When the Execute Process task runs a custom application, the task provides input to the application through one or both of the following methods:
- A variable that you specify in the StandardInputVariable property setting. For more information about variables, see Integration Services (SSIS) Variables and Use Variables in Packages.
- An argument that you specify in the Arguments property setting. (For example, if the task opens a document in Word, the argument can name the .doc file.)
To pass multiple arguments to a custom application in one Execute Process task, use spaces to delimit the arguments. An argument cannot include a space; otherwise, the task will not run. You can use an expression to pass a variable value as the argument. In the following example, the expression passes two variable values as arguments, and uses a space to delimit the arguments:
@variable1 + ' ' + @variable2
You can use an expression to set various Execute Process task properties.
When you use the StandardInputVariable property to configure the Execute Process task to provide input, call the Console.ReadLine method from the application to read the input. For more information, see Console.ReadLine Methodthe topic, , in the Microsoft .NET Framework Class Library.
When you use the Arguments property to configure the Execute Process task to provide input, do one of the following steps to obtain the arguments:
- If you use Microsoft Visual Basic to write the application, set the My.Application.CommandLineArgs property. The following example sets the My.Application.CommandLineArgs property is to retrieve two arguments:For more information, see the topic, My.Application.CommandLineArgs Property, in the Visual Basic reference.
- If you use Microsoft Visual C# to write the application, use the Main method.For more information, see the topic, Command-Line Arguments (C# Programming Guide), in the C# Programming Guide.
The Execute Process task also includes the StandardOutputVariable and StandardErrorVariable properties for specifying the variables that consume the standard output and error output of the application, respectively.
Additionally, you can configure the Execute Process task to specify a working directory, a time-out period, or a value to indicate that the executable ran successfully. The task can also be configured to fail if the return code of the executable does not match the value that indicates success, or if the executable is not found at the specified location.
