What happens during SSIS deployments?

When you deploy SSIS project basically you have two options - right click on project name and standalone tool (let’s skip SMO and stuff). Both mean the same: IsDeploymentWizard.exe. I was curious what happens during deployment and why mode/Silent finishes deployment very quickly, so I started digging.

First I prepared sample SSIS project. Nothing extraordinary - just 5 packages, 6 project parameters and no connection managers (who needs them anyway?). Each package contained empty Data Flow Task - so you see that all just to compile something more than a single package. Later during tests, I added connection managers, but they were treated the same as project parameters, so I skipped them (the same with package parameters). To observe the environment I used good old SQL Profiler and Process Explorer.

First - the SQL Profiler. I prepared only two operations to capture:

  • RPC:Completed
  • SQL:BatchCompleted

Didn’t set up the columns, just accepted the defaults and hit Run. On a busy machine I could use a filter on Application Name column (Like: SSIS% - two applications are involved). As the result I got 27 lines of T-SQL commands

Profiler output

What do we have here? First ten lines are five commands repeated two times. They check for the server version and settings. At first they are called when deployment wizard starts and connects to the SSISDB to check if everything is OK. The second time it starts the whole deployment procedure. The lines are:

Excellent. What next? Until now the commands were issued by SSIS Deployment Wizard application. Next few lines come from SSIS ISServerExec. The first one is pretty simple, yet I have to think more about it:

exec sp_executesql N'SELECT [operation_id] FROM [catalog].[operations] WHERE [operation_id] = @operation_id AND [status] = @status',N'@operation_id bigint,@status int',@operation_id=5,@status=2

The question is: how does the SSIS ISServerExec proces know the value of @operation_id? @status = 2 means it checks if process is running.

To get the answer we have to take a closer look at the profiler output. The entire deployment finishes in 7 seconds, so it’s hard to spot, but when I did I asked myself why I didn’t see it before?

Profiler output

To tell you the truth I saw the operations times just after analysing catalog.deploy_project procedure (see the line starting with declare @p4). It has a WHILE loop inside waiting for some output. But output coming from what?

The SSIS ISServerExec data in the profiler window (3 - 20:49:30) is shown before the deployment process start (2 - 20:49:28). Suddenly all becomes clear - catalog.deploy_project waits for ISServerExec to finish its job. It checks for deployment status each second and finishes when the status is set as not running (@status <> 2). So, to analyse the process I have to start with the line (2). @project_stream is cut for readability.

declare @p4 bigint
set @p4=default
exec [SSISDB].[catalog].[deploy_project] @folder_name=N'Test',@project_name=N'TestSSIS',@project_stream=`0x504B03041400000008002E`<...>,@operation_id=@p4 output select @p4

Afterwards I noted that if I used RPC:Starting event I would spot it earlier - the starting event is before start of ISServerExec.

The main part of the deployment has started and now we are on SSIS ISServerExec side. The next line gets project binary data provided by catalog.deploy_project .

exec [internal].[get_project_internal] @project_version_lsn=2,@project_id=1,@project_name=N'TestSSIS'

As a result, we get our project stream (0x504B03041400000008002E...) What’s interesting - this command is run by another user - the NTUserName column in Profiler shows SID S-1-9-3... We can check what user is this using simple conversion, but I was lazy and just used the script I found on the internet. The SID points to AllSchemaUser user in SSISDB database. And when we take a look into internal.get_project_internal procedure we see, that it’s run in a context of AllSchemaUser.

GetProjectInternal stored procedure header

The next commands insert package data into internal.packages table using internal.append_packages procedure and custom table type internal.PackageTableType. The information comes from the project stream. As the .ispac is just a zip file with different extension the SSIS ISServerExec unpacks it and gets the content.

declare @p3 internal.PackageTableType
insert into @p3 values(N'Package01.dtsx','EB3054D0-31D0-4476-A922-EC9CE30789DB',N'',8,1,0,2,N'','33FD504B-57AB-4659-A4D5-F1336537A3A6',1,N'N',NULL,NULL)
insert into @p3 values(N'Package05.dtsx','412802DC-3D72-43E3-9D7D-BF731685676A',N'',8,1,0,3,N'','29869950-CA90-4D54-BA4E-1AFD2DE6794E',1,N'N',NULL,NULL)

insert into @p3 values(N'Package03.dtsx','149A4EFF-05A6-4F3E-AB85-F7C07D271B37',N'',8,1,0,3,N'','2880FA80-E65A-4153-8EE3-BDB71A35FF60',1,N'N',NULL,NULL)

exec [internal].[append_packages] @project_id=1,@object_version_lsn=2,@packages_data=@p3

Then we add all parameters with internal.append_parameter procedure. We have six project parameters (and zero connection managers, zero package parameters) so we call it six times. Each procedure execution is made in another database call, so if we have a lot of parameters then we do a lot of single database queries. If we had connection managers and package parameters they would be also added with internal.append_parameter. With a small remark - each part of the connection string is treated as a different parameter.

All the information go to the internal.object_parameters table.

exec [internal].[append_parameter] @project_id=1,@object_version_lsn=2,@object_name=N'TestSSIS',@object_type=20,@parameter_name=N'Parameter1',@parameter_data_type=N'Int32',@required=0,@sensitive=0,@description=N'',@design_default_value=-1,@value_set=0

go

Aside sample of sample ADO.NET connection manager parametrization:

Profiler output

OK. Parameters set up. Now a piece of code I don’t fully understand. It runs a synchronisation of parameters between latest project version and currently deployed version:

exec [internal].[sync_parameter_versions] @project_id=1,@object_version_lsn=2

What I don’t get is why do we sync current version with the latest version, when the current version is already the latest? I don’t think it has something with concurrent deployments as the procedures start transactions in SERIALIZABLE isolation level. Will have to investigate it further.

Almost the end. The last command run as SSIS ISServerExec application is updating the deployment status as a great success (@status = 7). Looks like nothing fancy, just simple update, but there’s a bit of logic there, including cleanup in case of failed deployment. This procedure is also run as AllSchemaUser.

exec [internal].[update_project_deployment_status] @status=7,@end_time='2017-04-26 20:49:30.8732399 +02:00',@operation_id=5,@project_version_lsn=2,@description=N'',@project_format_version=1

When project deployment finishes SSIS Deployment Wizard takes control back. It fires four dynamic SQL statements. First two are identical - they check for deployment operation information (I don;t know why the same code run twice), the third checks for projects in a folder and then iterates through each project to get its data. I have one project in my folder, so it is just one SQL statement. If I had more projects I would get a separate statement for each of them (checked with another project).

The last operation in deployment process is run by SSIS ISServerExec Crash Handler. It’s almost the same command as the previous by SSIS ISServerExec:

exec [internal].[update_project_deployment_status] @status=4,@end_time='2017-04-26 20:49:32.7510757 +02:00',@operation_id=5,@project_version_lsn=2,@description=N''

The difference is it doesn’t contain @project_format_version parameter, sets different @status (4 = failed) and - of course - @end_time. And - it does nothing.

Well, it would set deployment status as failed if there was something wrong with the process, but the internal.update_project_deployment_status has a condition - it runs only:

IF EXISTS (SELECT [operation_id] FROM [internal].[operations]
WHERE ([status] = 5 OR [status] = 2
OR [status] = 4)
AND [operation_id] = @operation_id AND [operation_type] = 101)

So if the process finished properly (@status = 7) nothing happens. I made the tests few times and sometimes te last step of ISServerExec process finished before the end of the catalog.deploy_project procedure.

The last thing to check is why IsDeploymentWizard finishes deployment so quickly and what happens behind the scenes.

To answer for the latter - it does the same steps as manual deployment. And how it does it so quickly? It just doesn’t wait for the outcome before returning to console. But it still runs it the background. Look at the cmd.exe process on the top and sqlservr.exe process at the bottom. Click the picture to see the details.

IsDeploymentWizard demo

And that’s all. So:

  • /Silent mode just returns to the console right after the process start
  • deployment involves two processes: IsDeploymentWizard and ISServerExec
  • the IsDeploymentWizard waits until ISServerExec finishes its work checking the status within the WHILE loop on 1 second intervals
  • if the proces finished with success the last operation by ISServerExec Crash handler does nothing.

The communication between SSISDB and ISServerExec (and ISServerExec itself) is a great candidate for another post in near future.
