Hi,
I'm trying to decide on the best method for dealing with errors in a DTS package. It is sufficient to retrieve Step failure information after package execution but I have tried both methods. Specifically, these methods are detailed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240221. Another article - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321525 - details the need to establish a single event sink to avoid "unexpected behaviour". I have used the code as described but noticed very little difference between post execution checking using GetExecutionErrorInfo and the PackageEventSink Interface. Using the Event Sink does retrieve one extra type of error, ie.
"Error at Destination for Row number 2. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1". This error will always give the row number as the last row in the file, in this case an excel file source. This is not really useful, but I don't want to detach the Event Sink because of the possibility of "unexpected behaviour". Could somebody advise? First is it possible to retrieve the line number, and secondly can anyone detail what an example of this unexpected behaviour might be? Finally, is there a way to retrieve a unique key constraint violation from a package if it occurs? It is only caught in the generalised way and produced as "Error at Destination...".
Thanks in advance
