    I have a C# program which gets a PDF file from web services and merges into one PDF.

    I eventually want to execute this C# program after some execution one query in the database.

    I am planning to have the query execution as the first jOb step. And once it succeeds I want to execute the C# program in job step 2 ?

    And in job step 3 another query execution..

    Any ideas

    If I'm not mistaken, SSIS can directly call C# DLLs. If I am mistaken, take a look at CLR procs and see if one of those will do what you need.

    Hi,

    you can create a job step with type "Operating System (cmdexec)" and call your C# program.

    Hope this helps 🙂

    Yes,

    I added that job selecting Operating System cmdExec,

    In the command I gave the path to the exe that has to be executed.

    I am the owner of the job and I am sysadmin too. It gave me an error "Unable to determine if the owner of the job has server access (reason : Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user NFR\rmuthulingam .."

    Any help?
