Raising Events in the Script Task

Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

Events provide a way to report errors, warnings, and other information, such as task progress or status, to the containing package. The package provides event handlers for managing event notifications. The Script task can raise events by calling methods on the Events property of the Dts object. For more information about how Integration Services packages handle events, see Integration Services (SSIS) Event Handlers.

Events can be logged to any log provider that is enabled in the package. Log providers store information about events in a data store. The Script task can also use the Log method to log information to a log provider without raising an event. For more information about how to use the Log method, see Logging in the Script Task.

To raise an event, the Script task calls one of the methods exposed by the Events property. The following table lists the methods exposed by the Events property.

Event	Description
FireCustomEvent	Raises a user-defined custom event in the package.
FireError	Informs the package of an error condition.
FireInformation	Provides information to the user.
FireProgress	Informs the package of the progress of the task.
FireQueryCancel	Returns a value that indicates whether the package needs the task to shut down prematurely.
FireWarning	Informs the package that the task is in a state that warrants user notification, but is not an error condition.

Events Example

The following example demonstrates how to raise events from within the Script task. The example uses a native Windows API function to determine whether an Internet connection is available. If no connection is available, it raises an error. If a potentially volatile modem connection is in use, the example raises a warning. Otherwise, it returns an informational message that an Internet connection has been detected.

Private Declare Function InternetGetConnectedState Lib "wininet" _  
    (ByRef dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long  
  
Private Enum ConnectedStates  
    LAN = &H2  
    Modem = &H1  
    Proxy = &H4  
    Offline = &H20  
    Configured = &H40  
    RasInstalled = &H10  
End Enum  
  
Public Sub Main()  
  
    Dim dwFlags As Long  
    Dim connectedState As Long  
    Dim fireAgain as Boolean  
  
    connectedState = InternetGetConnectedState(dwFlags, 0)  
  
    If connectedState <> 0 Then  
        If (dwFlags And ConnectedStates.Modem) = ConnectedStates.Modem Then  
            Dts.Events.FireWarning(0, "Script Task Example", _  
                "Volatile Internet connection detected.", String.Empty, 0)  
        Else  
            Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, "Script Task Example", _  
                "Internet connection detected.", String.Empty, 0, fireAgain)  
        End If  
    Else  
        ' If not connected to the Internet, raise an error.  
        Dts.Events.FireError(0, "Script Task Example", _  
            "Internet connection not available.", String.Empty, 0)  
    End If  
  
    Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
