Executes the executable.

public:
 abstract Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::DTSExecResult Execute(Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::Connections ^ connections, Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::Variables ^ variables, Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::IDTSEvents ^ events, Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::IDTSLogging ^ log, System::Object ^ transaction);

public abstract Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult Execute (Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Connections connections, Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variables variables, Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.IDTSEvents events, Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.IDTSLogging log, object transaction);

abstract member Execute : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Connections * Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variables * Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.IDTSEvents * Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.IDTSLogging * obj -> Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult

Public MustOverride Function Execute (connections As Connections, variables As Variables, events As IDTSEvents, log As IDTSLogging, transaction As Object) As DTSExecResult

Parameters

connections: Connections

A Connections collection.

variables: Variables

A Variables collection.

events: IDTSEvents

An IDTSEvents interface to raise events.

log: IDTSLogging

An IDTSLogging interface.

transaction: Object

The handle to a transaction type if participating in a transaction. This value can be null.

Returns

DTSExecResult

Returns a value from the DTSExecResult enumeration that indicates success, failure, or other status from running the executable.

Examples

The following code example shows how to run a package which inherits from the Executable class through the DtsContainer class. The package contains a BulkInsertTask. The Bulk Insert task is an example for this code sample; any task can be created in its place.

using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.Text;  
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;  
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.BulkInsertTask  

namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Samples  
{  
    class Program  
    {  
        static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            Package p = new Package();  
            p.InteractiveMode = true;  
            p.OfflineMode = true;  
            Executable exec1 = pkg.Executables.Add("STOCK:BulkInsertTask");  
            TaskHost th = exec1 as TaskHost;  

            // Set the CheckConstraints and DataFileType properties.             
            th.Properties["CheckConstraints"].SetValue(th, true);  
            th.Properties["DataFileType"].SetValue(th, DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType.DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_Native);  

            // Run the package that contains the task.  
            pkg.Execute();  

            // Review the results of the run.  
            if (taskH.ExecutionResult == DTSExecResult.Failure || taskH.ExecutionStatus == DTSExecStatus.Abend)  
                Console.WriteLine("Task failed or abended");  
            else  
                Console.WriteLine("Task ran successfully");  
        }  
    }  
}

Imports System  
Imports System.Collections.Generic  
Imports System.Text  
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime  
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.BulkInsertTask  

Namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Samples  
    Class Program  
        Shared  Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)  
            Dim p As Package =  New Package()   
            p.InteractiveMode = True  
            p.OfflineMode = True  
            Dim exec1 As Executable =  pkg.Executables.Add("STOCK:BulkInsertTask")   
            Dim th As TaskHost =  exec1 as TaskHost   

            ' Set the CheckConstraints and DataFileType properties.             
            th.Properties("CheckConstraints").SetValue(th, True)  
            th.Properties("DataFileType").SetValue(th, DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType.DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_Native)  

            ' Run the package that contains the task.  
            pkg.Execute()  

            ' Review the results of the run.  
            If taskH.ExecutionResult = DTSExecResult.Failure Or taskH.ExecutionStatus = DTSExecStatus.Abend Then  
                Console.WriteLine("Task failed or abended")  
            Else   
                Console.WriteLine("Task ran successfully")  
            End If  
        End Sub  
    End Class  
End Namespace

Remarks

The Execute method is inherited by task hosts and other objects from this Executable abstract class, through the DtsContainer class, and allows the inheriting objects to be run by the runtime engine. The Execute method inherited by the individual objects is not commonly used in code, and it is recommended that you call the Execute method if you need to run any of the tasks or containers in the package. However, the Execute method is available on individual objects should you find a unique circumstance where it is needed.

The main use of the Execute method is for it to be inherited and overridden when you create a custom task. For more information about how to override the Execute method, see Coding a Custom Task.

The Execute method calls the Validate method implicitly before the package runs. All tasks in the package are reviewed for appropriate settings during validation, and all objects in the package are reviewed, including the package, containers, and other components in the package.

If there are no problems encountered in the validation phase that would cause the package to fail, the package object proceeds to call the Execute method for each task and object in the package.

Pass null for the transaction parameter when the TransactionOption property is false. If the TransactionOption property is true, you can pass null in the transaction parameter to indicate that the container supports transactions but does not participate.
